Strong Bad Email

[@BiffGreggle]

Strong Sad as a sassy hairdresser is one of my all-time favorite H*R moments for some reason.

[@BigHailFan]

why does it fit him so well?

[@okoder]

Cause MY time is VALUABLE!

[@perrybb2]

Talking to the Cheat seems to be the only outlet for Strong Sad to complain about his life without being judged. All the other characters seem to be more or less annoyed by him

[@SavageGreywolf]

It's The Cheat going MMM HMMM every four seconds that does it for me

[@Demiglitch]

Probably because he's being assertive. You go depressed fat guy.

[@christopherwall2121]

Kenny Martin Iirc, Trivia Time was supposed to be a real pet, but they never thought of anything to do with him, so they just made a cookie jar of him, and later made that Pom-Pom's pet.

[@xFlareLeon]

Not to mention the sapient being Homestar...

[@mottialali8995]

Hello morning ocean

[@comet-ribbon]

Because KOT (or the cooking device, not sure which) weren't supposed to be here.

[@PSIHedgehogChris]

My guess is the KOT had been banned for eating the pets or something. You saw how he reacted when Strong Bad mentioned Transylvania and it being required by law to eat puppies for breakfast there.

[@TommyFenstermacher5150]

He needed Marzipan's radish to win the competition.

LamanKnight I must admit, I’ve slacked off in recent years. Bought my relish at Costco and it still hasn’t run out. I don’t agree with food waste so I’ve stuck with this jar for some time.
