Strong Bad Email #76 - Sibbie

Strong Bad refuses to make a song about Sibbie. He'll never do it. Never. Wait.

[@roxygaming5968]

That bestial howl at "I Freakin' Hate Sibbie" debuting is maybe the angriest I've ever heard Strong Bad, before or since.

[@glitchedoom]

He was so mad it awoke the wrestler in him.

[@Monkey832]

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

[@torcoolguy]

"I just about had it with that talking toaster." is a supremely underrated Homestar line.

[@DaVince21]

I still regularly think of the phrase "look who thinks he's Clever Dan!"

[@UltimateCarl]

It's one I still pull out from time to time.

[@ajpiskel]

Personally "My focus is all croakused" is what I still think about today.

[@DaVince21]

Adam Piskel Ooh, that's another good one! :D

[@sleepCircle]

i regularly SAY the phrase

[@joeschmoe2843]

I’m detective dan.

[@zazelby]

"Clever Dan" and "my focus is all crocussed" became a permanent part of my vocabulary after I first watched this cartoon, many years ago.

[@SarahMaywalt]

For me it was "FORHORDLINGGRADS!" If you say that in public, you get some weird looks, I can tell you.

[@Tropyy]

look who thinks he’s clever dan

[@el_zinga]

It's hilarious how much Strong Bad gives this fandom weird phrases to say.

[@lilyamy3808]

My brain read it as dever clan😭

[@StevenJamesBurks]

It's not crocussed. It's brokus. My focus is all ... Broke-us. Brokus. Like ... Broken focus.

[@aawallace98]

i think think this is the only episode where strong bad uses wrestling moves

[@yoyhue1678]

Guess he only does it when he's really fed up

[@SomeDumbKid1]

I don't know if it counts but in "Your Funeral" Strong Bad's taxidermy-ed body is shown suplexing a cougar

In yes, wrestling, he performs the 1/8th Nelson

[@danielslade9485]

@@CMWaters910 What about the non-email cartoon "Marshmallow's Last Stand"?

[@the-NightStar]

This song, "Song About Sibbie" is no longer available due to a copyright claim made by Strong Bad.

[@the-NightStar]

I hear he's taking The Cheat to court. Though I hear that it's probably going to get settled out of court to the payment of a free dinner at Blubbo's on The Cheat. And I mean literally ON him, not that he's "paying for it." But he's doing that, too. AND serving it ontop of his surprisingly flat and level head.

[@pikminfan6778]

Sorry about that.

Man, what a finisher, Package Pile-driver, Big Boot of Doom, and Delayed Vertical Suplex

[@SomeDumbKid1]

Kinda feels like the order is wrong though. Package piledriver should be the final move.

[@ALivingFlame]

Heh-heh... creative channel icon 😁

[@Jaggedknife11]

Was about to post a similar comment. Cool detail considering SB's costume of course. Although it would've been even cooler if he did more stereotypically lucha style moves.

[@FriendlyLocalGeek]

The Cheat must have recording devices stashed all over Free Country USA, in case of number one jam emergencies.

[@TheDash456]

Friendly Local Geek Pinkie Pie, how did you get in a Strong Bad email?

[@LamanKnight]

Whoa... I just came to a realization. In the "time capsule" sbemail, it shows that the capsule with Strong Bad's #1 Jam is dug up and eaten by Stinko Man. And in the Stinko Man game, there are capsules like that all over the place, which he uses for recovering health. So... you may be right! Maybe those are all Numba One James recorded by the Cheat, preserved until 20X6.

Krokus was a band that was popular for a short time in America in the 80s: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krokus_(band) - probably most popular for their cover of Ballroom Blitz.

2:07 That scream will never get old.

[@UltimateCarl]

Is this like the only time Strongbad actually busts out some wrestling moves to go with his mask and spandex?

[@FriendlyLocalGeek]

Well, as "yes wrestling" demonstrated, Strong Bad was always more about the gimmicks and showmanship part of pro wrestling rather than the actual wrestling. Though he did bust out some "muscular wrestling moves" in the super-old cartoon "Marshmallow's Last Stand", and in a flashback in the email "lady...ing" that was a self-parody of MLS.

Twice.

[@alexmabey7791]

That's what happens when everything you say because a meme! 🤣👍

[@TheInkPitOx]

The speed at which Strong Bad's song became a hit was confusing back then because we didn't have social networking in 2003.

[@StevenJamesBurks]

But we did. It was called friendster. But that, alas, is outdated and useless. Kind of like this response.

[@ALivingFlame]

[@guybrush20X6]

Wow, have you ever been so mad you actually became a wrestler instead of just looking like one? Strong Bad has.

When him and Strong Mad were in “the face paint connection” they had a great feud with The Jack em up Kid and Gary the Legend.
