=== Strong Bad Email ===
Strong Bad Emails (also known as "sbemails") is a series featuring Strong Bad answering emails from fans. Since starting in August 2001, the initially brief episodes have grown in length and scope, introducing numerous spin-offs, characters, and inside jokes, such as Homsar, Trogdor, Senor Cardgage, [[#Alternate Universes|20X6]], the [[#Teen Girl Squad|Teen Girl Squad]] shorts, and Homestar Runner Emails (also known as "hremails"). The format, however, has remained largely unchanged. Each episode typically begins with Strong Bad singing a short song to himself while booting up his computer to check fan emails. Starting a reply, he typically mocks the sender's name, spelling, and grammar, and rarely answers questions directly. While early episodes focused mostly on Strong Bad sitting at the computer with occasional cutaways, the cutaways would become more elaborate over time, allowing for more complex story lines to develop, growing tangentially from the initial email. Each episode closes with Strong Bad finishing his reply, closing the episode with a link to email Strong Bad appearing via "The Paper", a [[dot matrix printing|dot matrix printer]] at the top of the screen. In later episodes, it is replaced with the "New Paper", an [[inkjet printing|inkjet printer]]; then with the "Compé-per", a [[Balloon help|pop-up balloon]]; and finally with a [[Computer-generated imagery|CGI]] version of the original Paper, which instead promotes Strong Bad's [[Twitter]] account. As of April 1, 2022, 209 Strong Bad Emails have been released on the website (with another six exclusive to DVD releases), separable into distinct eras by Strong Bad's different computers; the Tandy 400, the Compy 386, the Lappy 486, the Compé, and his current computer, the Lappier.
