[@fatcerberus]

My guess is Strong Bad lets it slide because it's hilarious. Like that time I misspelled reluctant as "relunctant".

[@timwoods2852]

It was most likely a typo. There were a few years in the early 2000s where, for whatever reason, keyboards were made with overly sensitive "C" keys. So it was very easy to get two at a time.

Coach Z: "Gimme a basket of double hot wings, pants down..." I can't help but wonder what that style entails in an order.

[@willkriss1497]

Came here to ask this, glad I wasn’t the only one. I’ve literally never heard that term used anywhere else besides this Sbemail. My best guess was without breading too.

[@lukecy8187]

Breaded, but the breading is kinda...shimmied down the wing like pants

[@EarthboundBenjy]

The utter absurdity of this sbemail is truly something special. Strong Bad's master plan was to get Bubs to say "sbu". Already this is ridiculous enough, But what gets me the most is how his master plan was foiled at the most crucial moment, because the sign he was holding accidentally said "duck a l'orange" instead of "sbu". It's like.... It's so difficult to describe why this small interaction is so funny to me. It's overtly nonsensical, yet it doesn't draw attention to its own absurdity. It's a truly ridiculous scenario, yet it still makes sense as something SB would do. It's really good.

[@greatsageclok-roo9013]

I found it funny as well! I'm surprised no-one has used it for external jokes. Like how some people misinterpret what you say to them, of how customer complaints are handled by some companies.
