Hahaha, to this day, my brother and I always say "I bequeath thee!" every time we smack something; it was just one of those things that cracked us up watching it back in the days.
Fun fact: "The quill, the page, lyric rampage, word up?" is in iambic pentameter, but only because Strong Sad stresses the second syllable of "lyric" and says "word up" like a question.
DewMan001 Simply put, pentameter is when a written work is separated into lines of ten syllables each, without breaking the words apart. Every other syllable has to be naturally emphasized for it to be truly iambic, though.
For many years, I thought that "Doprime" was some kind of biochemical: maybe something like dopamine? Then all of the sudden, it hit me:....Coach Z was about to experience a "DOPE RYHME" attack!!!
"This man is suffering from a severe doprime attack! Quickly, we need to administer two fresh verses and one phnombule of lyrical creativity! ...we only have a Coach Z? Well, let's hope for the best."
There is a fun sequence in Atomic Robo, where Dr. Dinosaur decides he is a lawyer because he ate one and took his stuff. I'm a lawyer and I love to drop some of the lines from that. ~throws file at a person "Be astounded by dazzling array of legal documents!"
Considering all of the other 80s references in this series, it would not have seemed out of place if Strong Bad were to stand on the tailgate of a Dodge Rampage and shout "I'm on a rampage!" in this one.
I've only now thought something about Strong Sad's criticism of Strong Bad's part in the lyrical rampage. "May I ask how repeating the same four words constitutes a lyrical rampage?" Well, Strong Bad was providing backing vocals for Coach Z. Backup singers/rappers often repeat one or two lines to supplement the lyrics of the main performer. ...I guess if you watch something enough you notice a lot more stuff, even years and years later.
Instead of a "dope rhyme attack", I always heard Coach Z say he was suffering from a "Go Prime attack". I have no idea what that would be given this was years before Amazon Prime was a thing.

Wait -- the record player that the Cheat is using: That's clearly the Fisher Price kids' portable record player with the lid removed! It plays 33 1/3 and 45 RPM records. I had one of those as a kid! 😲
This email came out a short while after the Pay Plus! April fool showed a giant Strong Bad walking over a city. When I first saw "rampage" as the new email title I expected, well, that. Instead we got a lyrical rampage. It was impressive.
Why, Ye could go on a Regal rampage... I bequeath thee! *Ow I bequeath thee! *Ow I bequeath thee! One more... He hath quivered me tuppence! Oohp, ya lost me... *Oof oof*
@@Aristocles22 I don't quite understand your comment? I always assumed it was a double-entendre on the history of hip hop vs. Strong Sad just happening to be 'white' in terms of his character design. I mean they make a lot of 80s-era musical references throughout the show, so I assumed 'out-of-touch white guy awkwardly appropriates hip hop' was another of those. That's like, a classic 80s-90s reference!
@@Aristocles22 Hmm. Not sure I can agree with you there. There's certainly a lot of public discourse around race and prejudice in traditional power structures at the moment, where 'white privilege' is being discussed. But that isn't the same as saying it's bad to be white. I have a feeling this conversation might go in a toxic direction... and I don't think HSR cartoons are a good place for that, so perhaps we shouldn't discuss this too much further.
@@shockofthenew The left wing thinks the phrase "it's okay to be white" is racist. The only way one could think that is if one disagreed with it. The left doesn't think it is okay to be white.
Very cool. I tend to do some reading, or in my case, listening rampages myself. Surprised Strong Bad didn't make fun of the video game Rampage in this email, that would've been funny.
This email has forever impaired my ability to pronounce "subpoena" correctly.

@@TheInkPitOx No it isn't! You just substituted the stilted iambs for trochees and split the pentameter into five separate lines.

Witness the whiteness on Strong Sad's blog. Unless it's no longer available 😭

Carmel corn was the republican canidate that year.
Coach Z & Strong Bad laughing together makes me really happy
I love how Strong Mad is reading a waffle with ‘BUG’ written on it with syrup.
Me too
It's too long though.
Say what you want about Coach Z, but it takes real talent to rhyme "sports" with "The Cheat."
I think he does that every day without even trying

RedZeshinX That’s what the tab key is for!
The Cheat cut’n it up on the Fisher Price turntable!😎

2:47-3:04 Homsar is still facing the same way in the reverse shot.
That’s such a Homsar thing to do
Homsar is perpendicular to every point in every universe
It's because he's on a rampage!
Homsar is a Lovecraftian being. Indescribable and impossible in every way.
Homsar is not bound by reality.
Man, "Ye hath quivered me tuppence!" has somehow slipped its way into my vocabulary
and I am not a bit mad about it
In what situations do you use it?
@@waxwinged_hound mild frustration seems appropriate. That's when I use it lol
I hope that one day we get a full version of Strong Bad and Coach Z's lyrical rampage.
The first two lines go hard.
the way coach z just launches back into his rap at 3:08 always crack me up
I enjoy that the moment Homsar starts speaking, Marzipan stops smiling.
Good style there Strong Sad, Jeff Chaucer woodbee would be proud.
BUHHHHHH CARMEL CORN FOR PRESIDENT PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Instead of a "dope rhyme attack", I always heard Coach Z say he was suffering from a "Go Prime attack". I have no idea what that would be given this was years before Amazon Prime was a thing.
For some reason, the phrase "I'm bad at abbreviating" is one of the most memorable to me
To be exact, it's "abbreviations" so he can rhyme it with "stations" doing the usual rap thing of saying he's the best
"What about rules of verse? Iambic pentameter is where it's at!" 🤣This was one of Strong Sad's finest lines!
Background books include:
Biscuit
Sweatshirtguy
Soup, Right?
Brown Story
The R in Routine
Biscuit sweatshirtguy soup, eh?
That'll sell out in 2 fortnights flat!
But what does the R in routine stand for?
Rampage
Coach Z has the best laugh I've ever heard.
1:26 Sometimes the rap meaning that when you beat somebody in Multiplayer games that you might say: "I'm on a Rampage!"
This SBEmail series is what keeps me inspired.
