Commentary Transcript

(Commentary by: Joshua, TotalSpaceshipGuy3)

JOSHUA: We're welcoming TotalSpaceshipGuy3 here in the recording booth once again for a second email, this time it's "sb emails".

TOTALSPACESHIPGUY3: We sure are. {with Tampo} email-la, email-la, ee-ee, email-la. {laughs} I, uh, like that little song.

JOSHUA: Yeah, some of those are good... one of my favorites probably is attacked's. "I! O! U! A! E! Mail!" I just thought that one was clever. Now, this was my response to Mr. Cradgage flooding Tampo's inbox with Strong Bad Email clones.

TOTALSPACESHIPGUY3: Just thought "Ugh, these stupid clones. I should answer them to get Mr. Cardgage to shut up."?

JOSHUA: Yep. In reality, it shouldn't really matter too much. Emails are emails, clones or not. Nowadays Tampo would answer emails like this. But here... whatever, it made for a good theme. And stopped them. I don't think Tampo has gotten a clone since.

TOTALSPACESHIPGUY3: Really? What about those ones from "clearing out"?

JOSHUA: So I was wrong. And don't mention emails that weren't released prior to this DVD. That's breaking the fourth wall, man. Anyhoo... "1-Up's head on a platter." They still hate him, even though he technically just saved their lives by being a bargaining item.

TOTALSPACESHIPGUY3: Yeah.. Um, So uncreative he can't write a good email. True.

JOSHUA: And now this one doesn't even make any sense. Parodying the first sbemail...

TOTALSPACESHIPGUY3: Yeah. Good point.

JOSHUA: And the first SBEmail gets... here it comes- DELETED!!! And now I have to get rid of that... because I had forgotten that that thing was actually from Strong Bad Emails... and that was a no-no in this theme... so I had it taken out.

TOTALSPACESHIPGUY3: Don't wanna be a hypocrit. Heh, Tampo got busted.

JOSHUA: Huh? Anyway... Tampo sort of answers this email. Although at the time his judgement is sort of clouded so we don't really get a true answer. And I don't really know why the SuperCom is refering to the boss trio as "masters". That seems a little weird.

TOTALSPACESHIPGUY3: Meh, some people just have odd, odd minds. {laughs} Um... A reference of course to the Imitation Strong Bad Email "homeschool".

JOSHUA: Yeppers. Possibly the first of many I-SBEmail references. Now this email shows how bad of a SBEmail clone problem Mr. Cradgage created... enough for a seperate user to take note of and parody it in his email.

TOTALSPACESHIPGUY3: Um... I think SC III is actually Mr. Cradgage. SC III means "Senor Cardgage The Third." But still, it does make me sad.

JOSHUA: It was sent from some IP address, so it could have been him. Personally I don't think so... now this email I found amusing, as Stinkoman is the only known "father" that Tampo has.

TOTALSPACESHIPGUY3: Your way of saying "In your face, Mr. Cradgage!" for not checking his facts.

JOSHUA: Yeah, sorta. "The author of this email needs to die. Slowly and painfully." Heh... a little harsh there.

TOTALSPACESHIPGUY3: I don't think so. Then again, I'm kinda the sick and twisted destroy-everything-in-sight-with-an-Ultima-Beam kind of person.

JOSHUA: Heh. Okay, this is the last clone email they get.

TOTALSPACESHIPGUY3: And then another obscure Strong Bad Email reference. The "Do over!!!" thing.

JOSHUA: Yep. And Edgarman.exe as well, which will be coming up soon. Sort of ironic.

TOTALSPACESHIPGUY3: More like very ironic.

JOSHUA: Heh. It just killed their "dreamail" as a partial clone. It and the "dead father" ones were the partial emails, as they had some parts of Strong Bad Emails, but the whole thing wasn't. The "salty plum soda" email from Stu is lucky that I didn't know of its SBEmail-related origins, because it would've baleeted as well.

TOTALSPACESHIPGUY3: Yeah, the emailer apologized.

JOSHUA: He did?

TOTALSPACESHIPGUY3: Oh, wait... I ment, he will be apologizing once those holo-nukes hit him. Man, that probably looked awesome.

JOSHUA: Well, this email is pretty much done. Any last words before we close up shop?

TOTALSPACESHIPGUY3: Yes, I break the fourth wall to much. Kids under six, don't drink and drive!

JOSHUA: Wonderful advice. That's enough for now. Bye!
