The most recent Strong Bad E-Mail, [“Different Town”](http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail99.html), is now my favorite one of the 99 so far. The song is absolutely hysterical, especially at the end with Homsar saying “Iiiiiim foreverrrr your girrrrrrl…”. I saw that and almost pissed myself laughing. So, I pose the question to you… which are your Top Three? Mine are, in addition to the one above, [“Sisters”](http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail35.html) [“Your Friends”](http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail46.html) Let’s see your favorites, people. ---

Any one in which Strong Bad sings, really. My favorites, though: [“Dragon”](http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail58.html) [“Guitar”](http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail36.html) And the Trogdor comes in the niiiiiiiiiiight! ---

Hey, you seem to be a fan, so I’ll just throw this one out there: The one where the game “Trogdor” was introduced wasn’t really an E-Mail. If I recall correctly, it was a Post-It note stuck to the screen with a message that he was “downstairs”, and it linked to a cartoon where Strong Bad, the Cheat, and I think Strong Mad were playing the arcade version of Trogdor. I haven’t seen it since. Do you happen to know where I can find the link for that one? ---

I loved the [50 Emails](http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail50.html), just because of the easter egg at the end with 1930’s StrongBad. Yes the Sneak, I gave him what for! Now steal me some fresh jam. ---

You’re looking for [“Arcade Game”](http://www.homestarrunner.com/arcadegame.html), under the [Toons](http://www.homestarrunner.com/toons.html) section. ---

It’s in the Shorts menu on the Toons site. ---

Oh, StrongBad, if only you were a _real_ boy . . . [Techno](http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail45.html) “The system is down, the system is down . . . The Cheat is _grounded_.” Seconding “Kid’s Book” – “Some people are squirrel-handed. Gregor is a weird name.” Every single line out of that book is comic-gold. [Video Games](http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail94.html) is awesome, too, if only for the opening lines. “E-mail is a prison, with no walls . . . and no toilet.” And it has games at the end. What’s not to love? ---

All my favorites have been mentioned but I’ll go anyway. “Techno” A great techno tune if I’ve ever heard one. “Invisible” where strong bad imagines being invisible. “I’d steal stuff…and punch stuff…and eat stuff…while watching stuff”. “New Town” was great and disturbing. “Video Games” was probably one of the best I’ve ever seen. Even free games at the end. And of course, “Kids Book”. Though I have a fondness in my heart for “Capers” Damnit…now that song(“The cheat is not dead”) is stuck in my head again. ---

Loved Trogdor, Techno and Kids’ Book, but two I haven’t seen mentioned yet are [Interview](http://homestarrunner.com/sbemail62.html) (“I was raised by a cup of coffeeeee.”) and [Japanese Cartoon.](http://homestarrunner.com/sbemail57.html) In Interview, you need to click on the Post-its if you haven’t before. The eggs at the end of Japanese Cartoon are great and multilayered. ---

I like ‘new hands’, it was the first one I ever read, and it has a special place in my heart. “I am still awesome… seriously.” “Like having a bucket for a hand is gonna get me any chicks… what was I thinking?” ---

I’ll second Sisters, Dragon, and Techno but I can’t belive no one has mentioned [Gimmick](http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail33.html) or [Property of Ones](http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail39.html) I think sooner or later all of them are going to get posted though, becase really all of them are pretty damn funny imho. ---

Aw, a lot of my favorites have been mentioned – “Guitar,” “Dragon,” “Techno,” “Japanese Cartoon,” “Kids Book.” [English Paper](http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail64.html) made me cry. “The Yellow Dart,” hustle and bustle in the Middle Ages, battery-eating diagrams = comedy GOLD. The recent [Kind of Cool](http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail92.html) is another favorite. Strong Bad as neighborhood perv. _sigh_ I love him. ---

1. Kid’s Book 2. Dragon Trogdor hint: On level 11, the bottom right hut is a treasure room. Burn the surrounding huts down, and walk into it. You have a few seconds to collect the treasures before being forced back to the game. ---

I love nearly all of the ones mentioned so far, but I’m surprised no one’s mentioned [“Caffiene”](http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail91.html) yet. I mean, c’mon, “the wood-davers train”? That’s more laughs than a barrell of monkeys right there. I’ve also always had a soft spot for [“Mile”](http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail87.html), even though Strong Bad scholars will debate for ages whether it is truly a Strong Bad e-mail. Another favorite is [“Interview”](http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail62.html) and, among the earlier e-mails, [“Trevor The Vampire”](http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail10.html) is probably my favorite. ---

“My e-mails are like my childrens…I love them all.” My favorites, in no particular order: **Crazy Cartoon:** Surprised this hasn’t been mentioned yet. Gotta love Eh Steve. **Kid’s Book:** Not only for the book itself, but for the egg featuring Stong Bad’s take on the kid’s book that gave birth to the Homestar and Strong Bad characters. “Watch out Pete Best!” **Different Town:** A silly, upbeat musical number. “…and Pom Pom wouldn’t change at all, 'cept he’d look like an ABA basketball!” ---

“Did you just say _parakeet_?!” The first one I ever saw, and still one of my favorites, is “Caper”. I couldn’t figure out exactly what the hell I was looking at, but I was stuck singing “The Cheat is not deaaaaaaaad” for a week. “Techno” is in the top three as well. I like how the Cheat flinches when Strong Bad says “GROUNDED!” I guess my third would have to be “Mile”, only because I love the lousy voices. “Hey, Strong Bad! You jumped over some of my buses!”\* _waaaaaaaahhhhhh_\* [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whats-your-favorite-strong-bad-e-mail/232615.md?page=2)
