{We go to Gunhaver in front of the Delta 1001. He types ingunhaver_email.exe.}
GUNHAVER: {rapping} Look, I don't have an idea of an email rap this week! Uh! Uh! Wha! Wha!
{Then he presses enter to make the following email pop up. Gunhaver reads it with no difficulty.}
Hey Gunhaver,
I was wondering what you do with the
emails that don't get showed on the
weekly email.
Dan Chase,
Aurora, Illinois
GUNHAVER: {typing} Email show? Dude, did you just... Nah, it must have been those two pudding pops. So, emails I never present to the "email show", eh? Well, some of the aforementioned emails are in the secret email shows that are just for people who are allowed to watch it, and so far, that's me. I think. Anyway, here is an example of an email show.
{Then we cut to a darker computer room with Gunhaver in front of the Belta 501, which looks like a smaller version of the Delta 1001 with green lines moving across the screen (similar to the Tandy 400).}
GUNHAVER: Checking emails is like my bread and sugar!
{Gunhaver types ingunhaver_secret_emails.exeto make the following email appear on the screen. Gunhaver reads it as it is.}
Gunhaver, make computer animations now or DIEEEE!!!!!!
GUNHAVER: What the crap is this? Ugh, good thing this didn't make it to the actual email show, you know, since I, nor Shim-Sham-Sam, know how to make these computer animations. I should delete this, but first, I need to get the Belta 501's manual.
{Gunhaver leaves the room and off-screen. Then we zoom out to see a full view of the computer room, which is different from the one with the Delta 1001. Then Firebert walks onscreen and begins typing on the computer with accompanying Cheat sounds.}
Firebert: {typing} (Hey! I can make computer animation, which shows that I have a talent that Gunhaver can't do! Here it is:).
{Then Firebert types infiremation.exeand leaves. Then Gunhaver comes and sits in front of the computer.}
GUNHAVER: Now I know how to delete... wait, what is this?
{Gunhaver (using a mouse) clicks on what Firebert typed in, making the following appear on Gunhaver's screen:}
{After watching the animation go on for four more times, Gunhaver presses a button to delete the email, blowing up the computer into ashes.}
GUNHAVER: Oh crap! That's the third Belta 501 I've blown up this week!
{Then we go back to Gunhaver in front of the Delta 1001.}
GUNHAVER: {typing} See? Problematic, which is not the best way to describe the piece of crap Firebert made. So another way I use the emails is similar to what Strong Bad does. I would have the Cheat Commandos file them and archive them. Let's take a look.
{Then we cut to an empty room with cobwebs and spiders. Gunhaver looks at the room.}
GUNHAVER: Uh...
GUNHAVER: {voiceover} Maybe I sell them to people I can sell them to?
{Then we see a piece of paper on a desk.}
Dear Gun Man,
I'd like to buy your unused emails for my weekly spamvertisements,
But you don't have any unused emails.
From,
Bubs
GUNHAVER: {voiceover} Okay, I burn them.
{Then we cut to Silent Rip and Fightgar standing by wood for a campfire.}
GUNHAVER: Ready the bonfire
SILENT RIP: But there's nothing for us to burn.
FIGHTGAR: Yeah, nothing.
{Then we go back to Gunhaver in front of the Delta 1001.}
GUNHAVER: {angrily and typing} All right! All right! I was lying the whole time! I don't have any methods for my unused emails because I HAVE no unused emails! Do you realize that any email in my inbox is used? That's because people don't email me crazily as that guy or Strong Bad! Although the whole Firebert animation thing was true, but, you know, I wish I could have unused emails. Yep, I would have made an email fort with that. Yep, I can imagine it now. It'll exist someday, someday.
{Then we go to Gunhaver's thought bubble. Music begins to play. Then we see Gunhaver in front of a large fort made of papers (emails).}
GUNHAVER: {singing} Email fort is where I'm going to be the king of...
{Then we cut to Gunhaver wearing paper gloves.}
GUNHAVER: {singing} ... I just ordered a nice set of king glove who is made of email as well, and if you don't like it, go to email heck...
{Then we cut to Gunhaver by a butler who is made of origami.}
GUNHAVER: {singing} ...there's an email butler with an email suit...
{Then we go to a dog on a mat.}
GUNHAVER: {singing} ...and my email dog is on its email mat...
{Then we go to Gunhaver with an origami bat in front of a mailbox.}
GUNHAVER: {singing} ...I will shake you down with my email bat...
{Then we go to Gunhaver in front of a fort made of a cardboard box.}
GUNHAVER: {singing} ...and all your second rate fort say your...
{Suddenly, the email bubble pops as we see Gunhaver sleeping on the floor with a tranquilizer dart in his head. Then we cut to a view of the Delta 1001. Then the Paper comes down, saying Click here to email Gunhaver at: gunhaver@homestarrunner.com..}
Easter Eggs

- Click on someday to see an advertisement:
ANNOUNCER: {voiceover} As you have just seen in Gunhaver email 33, Gunhaver was shot in the head...
{Then we cut to Gunhaver sleeping on the floor with the dart in his head.}
ANNOUNCER: {voiceover} ...by a tranquilizing dart.
{Then we cut to a white background. Words in red appear as the announcer says them.}
ANNOUNCER: {voiceover} NEXT WEEK! FIND OUT, WHO SHOT MR. HAVER!!!
- Click on wish to listen to Gunhaver sing his email fort song again (minus the visuals).
Fun Facts
- The email rap for this email is based on the one from crying.
- The email sent to Gunhaver is the exactly the same one sent to Strong Bad in unused emails.
- The other references are:
- Gunhaver's methods of how to use the unused emails (filing and archiving them, selling them)
- Bubs' and his weekly spamvertisements.
- The other references are:
- Gunhaver almost broke the Fourth Wall.
- The Belta 501 is pretty much based on the Block, an alternate computer for Strong Bad.
- Gunhaver's second email rap is from Sttstis.
- This is one of my first experiences in animation.
- The animation is parodying Badger, Badger, Badger with no sound (Firebert can not speak English).
- The visuals for the animation is made entirely out of MS Paint.
- Gunhaver's email fort song is parodying the pizza fort song from Space Tree Episode 24.
- Space Tree is a webcartoon made by Ed Atlin.
- The advertisement for email 34 is basically referring to the Simpson episode "Who Shot Mr. Burns (Part 2)" (yes, I know that the advertisement was not exact at all, but still).
