Strongbad Email 164 "Looking Old" Talkback

[Neo Ultra Mike]

There's a new Strong Bad Email. "Looking Old" The First real update of H*R of 2007. Let's see if it stacks up.

A fairly decent (though not the best) email. Highlights include Strongbad calling the meeting with people he hates the least (except for Marizpan due to legal reasons. Maybe that's why he had her on that Home Shopping network parody in the last email), The Cheat's idea about warping the camera angles around, Homestar and Homsar's cameos, "Yeah that would work if I was a BACKYARD!", Strongmad's suggestion and Strongsad getting some pleasure out of Strongbad's grandma like face.

Easter Eggs: click on the words "closley guarded monks" as Strongbad is typing it.
Click on the words "crustly guarded bread" when Strongbad is typing it.
Click on the diaper in Strongmad's presentation.
Click on the fork at the end of the email.

I thought iTems was really funny... it had an "i" in front of it. :p

The next best part was "WEAR A DIAPER!!!"

Then the ending had me laughing a lot. Strong Bad ended up looking about fifty years older after the "surgery".

First new email of the year and it was good!

This was a good one. More importantly, it was a new one.

The jab at Gogurt ads was overdue, and so was pointing out that "i" is nothing more than "e" and will be played out eventually. The results of SB's "surgery" were also hilarious.

Interesting commentary on marketing and demographics, plus big business attitude towards women in the workplace. ("I am legally obligated to ask you to proceed.")

Strong Bad after his "surgery" was disturbing and yet at the same time hilarious.

"I eat my yogurt from a tube!"

That's the funniest one I've seen in a long time. BTW: When did Marzipan's voice change?

Nebulon appears again.

Another Easter egg: click on "closely guarded monks".
