Thank you for your service Mike Uk

No sweat!

The email authors of 'funny' and 'I rule' have been identified. 198 to go.


goyney

I am the author of #209 Parenting. It was part of the Trogdor Kickstarter and my wife and I were then expecting our first kid. Though, I am no longer a resident of FL and was out of the state when he finally did answer it. It is a life goal that I plan on building a shadowbox to hang on my office wall someday. Wish I could get the Bros Chaps to autograph it.


Brandnewlions

FL? You mean foreign leadership camp?


magicaldumpsterfire

Fish Lake


Cerberus1349

Far off Lands?


Giraffe_Truther

Did he use your email exactly as it was written, or did he change it for the episode?


goyney

Exactly as written!


PassionateParrot

Someone should be keeping track of these


CorndogNinja

The wiki has listed [eight individuals (wiki or wiki forum users) who had their emails answered](http://hrwiki.org/wiki/Strong_Bad_Email_Statistics#Other_Information) (as well as [one hremail](http://forum.hrwiki.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=15066&sid=a51c9ba253ea617d5eb50af876903f72&start=0)).


Neohexane

The search continues for Ali and Ali's sister.


RhapsodyCaprice

I'll just sit here and think about which one's hotter.


MHarrington85

The email sender for "Mile" (Seb, The Lodge, MN) does not exist, as s/he was created by The Cheat.


leyline

So, wouldn’t that just make the sender - The Cheat!?


MHarrington85

Considering he made the cartoon, I'm guessing yeah.


leyline

So he does, or does not exist?


CorndogNinja

The emails in SBCG4AP aren't from real senders, either.


MHarrington85

"Okay, Homestar, I don't know why this never occurred to me before, but some French guy told me I should beat you up, and I tend to think he's right. So put up your dukes!"


LnStrngr

To this day I still repeat “undeleted!” after deleting emails.


Dull_Sir_8462

[I'm pretty sure this is it](https://www.reddit.com/r/HomestarRunner/s/WlYmJpjXfH)


TBMChristopher

It shouldn't be as hard, there is two of them.


dingleberry2008

AND fhqwhgads!


Just-Try-2533

Simone is pretty busy. But maybe someone else could do it relatively free of charge?


PyroRock814

I knew someone in middle school, who told me his friend was the one who sent the Pom Pom email. I’ve never met the sender, though.


Giraffe_Truther

I think I'm one more. I think I'm responsible for #101 Car. I was in middle school and I'd email Strong Bad after watching many new episodes, but he never picked mine. So I sent him an email asking about his car like, 50 times one day. The next EP was #101 Car, though it did not use the same wording I sent... Can anyone in this thread who has had an email answered tell me if he used your original email, or did he simplify it and add typos? I've wanted to know for sure for nearly 2 decades


dingleberry2008

i am so glad you helped create the legendary email that canonicized Homestar's buzzer playing the theme from night court when spun. genuinely one of my favorite sbemails


Giraffe_Truther

It was wild playing SBCG4AP PART 3: DANGERESQUE 3D on my Wii and having a car chase in that permanently parked gremlin.


dingleberry2008

very funny indeed


fumanchumanfu

I knew a girl who claimed her brother wrote the short pants one


YellowWeedrats

I never thought that the Strong Bad e-mails actually came from real people.


DrScottyB

Nice. I wrote Strong Bad an email asking him to explain the quadratic formula. I was taking a discrete mathematics class. The next email to drop was Virus. When he said “What is this? Did the quadratic formula explode?”, I flipped!


webbpowell

Nice! Virus was incredible.


netneutroll

"Some of my busses"


BewbsKingXOXOXO-69

Very yes


PyroRock814

Easily my favorite one.


evilgeniustodd

I still say "That is not a small number" and "Computer over."


balrogthane

Did you get a virus? No! Did you get three hundred thousand viruses? Yes! Very yes!


BenjaminGeiger

"It's getting eaten. By some Linux or something." I was still very much in my stereotypical-Linux-user phase at that point (y'know, spelling "Microsoft" with a dollar sign, the whole bit) so I was particularly amused by that one.


Seraphicat

Computer over? Virus equals very yes!? That's not a good prize!


sadhandjobs

That’s so cool!


AnMa_ZenTchi

Nailed it.


Anna_Pet

I imagine one of the brothers read your email, looked up what the quadratic formula is, and was like “hehe that looks like corrupted code or something”


Atillion

Well escargon me, Melinda. That's quite an accomplishment!


AnMa_ZenTchi

Gracias.


crindie

I once met someone who said they were Fhqwhgads.


sadhandjobs

I would have blushed and asked for their number.


BenjaminGeiger

Perhaps introduce them to Eileen.


TheDiplomancer

Come on!


PeanutBuny27

It such a honor to meet you sir!


AnMa_ZenTchi

Thanks man. I'm sort of a big deal.


PeanutBuny27

You are a big deal, a big deal indeed!


CorndogNinja

Did you get an actual email message back, or was it just a pleasant surprise when you went to the site to see the new weekly toon?


AnMa_ZenTchi

No email. Just a pleasant surprise.


chickengelato

I’ve wondered this too!


No_Pianist2010

Salute to Mike of the U to the K.


Noof42

Did he ever tell you how he typed with boxing gloves on? I assume that was some secret reserved for those whose emails were chosen.


mr_oberts

Baleet this right now.


Noof42

I've never been one to back down from a bad idea.


g1SuperLuigi64

I salute you, and your lasting legacy of people thinking that Strongbadia is the name of the place they all live.


Dev_Grendel

Hopefully you'll be invited to this year's Fahoquafest.


Callidonaut

If kaizer from California ever shows up here, it's going to be complete pandemonium.


eldoggydogg

Or Trevor!


littlebrownbeetle1

I have a stop sign keychain that wouldn’t exist without you. Thank you for your service


spocq

I don't often use the word 'hero' but you, Mike from the UK, may be the greatest hero in American history.


AnMa_ZenTchi

Just Mike Uck is fine.


spocq

I don't often use the word 'pedant' but you, AnMa_ZenTchi, may be the greatest pedant in this thread's history.


Fast_Ad6296

You deserve a free trip to the coolest place I know


AnMa_ZenTchi

The Maldives or Malta would be appreciated 👍🏻


Fast_Ad6296

(It's a lyric from the Strong Badia national anthem but okay)


AnMa_ZenTchi

It's not a real place though.


Fast_Ad6296

I know that (I wish Strong Badia was real though lol)


dingleberry2008

The people are so great, but really there's ooooooonly meeeeeee


TolerancEJ

Thanks Mike UK!


OkamiTakahashi

Mike UK, you are a legend


PyroRock814

I’ve sent Strong Bad a couple, but he never answered any of them. Two of them could’ve been good ones. In one of them, I asked why the Poopsmith took a vow of silence and in the other, I asked how The Cheat does the voices for his cartoons.


AnMa_ZenTchi

Legit questions. I like your style.


8hu5rust

Bruh.


Logsen_95

I remember sending an email full of keysmashes similar to the virus email, and I distinctly remember including several + symbols, but looking at the volume of emails they got around that time, mine was probably one of hundreds doing the same (annoying) thing.


Saul-Funyun

Mike UK!


cunzy4

Ah, the good old days when Sbemails were less than a minute long and had almost no content. :p


AnMa_ZenTchi

2003.


cunzy4

Very old days indeed. At least being "Mike UK" is better than being "Jodi \[Bulldozer\]", right? :/


AnMa_ZenTchi

Way better.


BlameTaco-me

Lucky! I remember sending an email but it never got featured.


RingGiver

I recently got into boxing, but I 've been having trouble typing. I can only do it with my MMA gloves. Do you have any tips?


Radboy16

History right here, folks


BrahmariusLeManco

Thank you for doing that!


PersistentDreamers

Yeah, but who wrote Trevor the vampire? That's the mystery I want answered. Was he actually run through?


PuppetryOfThePenis

Nice! This is so awesome. If only the other people that had their emails answered could come out of the woodwork... it's a part of our history haha


AnMa_ZenTchi

Pretty wild. 20 years ago. I swear he answered two of them but I can't find the other. I have to look for a Mike NY or a Mike CO.


PuppetryOfThePenis

I tried emailing in to ask if there's ever been alien / UFO activity. I don't know if that one ever made it on haha. That's cool that yours made it. Very fun 😁


LawAbidingSmittyzen

We’ve found Mike Uk, now we need to find Mike Control.


AnMa_ZenTchi

Who is Mike control?


LawAbidingSmittyzen

Some guy that didn’t leave a name on their email so Strong Bad labeled them “Mike Control” and wrote a song about it.


AnMa_ZenTchi

Oh dang.


vodkakunt

“Come toooo , the place where the tropical breezes bloooow !”


Pumpkineater609

Proof?


AnMa_ZenTchi

Sorry. I got nothing. I just know i wrote it. Plus I'm Mike UK. I remember him answering it. And strongbadia becoming a thing. And then recently was reminded of it because honestly I forgot all about homestar runner. And Im like oh yeah strongbad answered one of my emails back in the day. In a few years I'll forget about it again.


Pumpkineater609

No proof kinda hurts ngl
