Strong Bad Email

[@jonnysaysN0]

There's something incredibly wholesome about Strong Sad being that happy around his great grandma.

[@TheInkPitOx]

I think he was doing that to make fun of Strong Bad, considering his sarcastic tone of voice.

[@jonnysaysN0]

@@TheInkPitOx huh. Never thought of it that way.

[@nathanstanfield4695]

@@TheInkPitOx I don't think he was being sarcastic, just putting on a friendly tone of voice for someone he thinks is senile.

[@XaxtonRevolution2]

@@nathanstanfield4695 I think what’s being implied here is that their great grandma IS senile and they have to calmly coerce her to cooperate as they take her back to the nursing home.

[@jacobdagun3670]

You know, I've always suspected in this email that Strong Sad knows full well that it's Strong Bad, but he saw the opportunity and decided to run with it.

[@THEdragonOfRainbows]

True, true. According to hrwiki: "According to Strong Bad, Homestar Runner seems to have an 'unbelievably loose grasp on the world around [him]'. As a result, Homestar will frequently become confused and forget who he is. He then interacts with himself as though he is a different and separate person. This includes talking to himself, looking for himself, writing notes to remind himself who he is, insulting himself, and even fighting himself." ...It's kinda sad to think about for some reason...

[@metall7910]

That the titular charachter got downgraded to a supporting charachter becuase hes a mentally unstable child man.

[@negascoot23]

@@metall7910 "Mentally unstable child-man" is a fair description, I grant you that. But it doesn't exactly distinguish him from the rest of the cast😂 I'm convinced Free Country, USA is a collective hallucination populated by self-concept drawings made in an art therapy group at a psychiatric hospital. With a few exceptions: The Poopsmith represents the psychiatrist: That's why he doesn't talk--he isn't consciously part of the delusion. Pom Pom represents the sane world: visiting friends and family (which is why we see so little of him). Bubs represents the orderly who hands out medication. Everyone else is a patient, as the patients see themselves... ...Strong Bad even has multiple self-concepts (Senor Cardgage, Stinkoman, Strong Badman, etc.) Homestar Runner's self-concept is whatever you tell him it is. He can't distinguish between his own thoughts and exterior information. It explains why he never seems to mind when Marzipan breaks up with him--soon as she says they're no longer a couple, he forgets they ever were. And everyone else? Jesus...A psychologist could build an entire career around Coach Z alone😳
