 * strongbad_email.exe
 * Disc One: Homestar walks in, looks at the text and says "Boring".
 * Disc Two: Homestar walks in. He spits Teddy Grahams on the warning and it sticks. He later says "That's Better" and leaves.
 * Disc Three: Homestar walks in and does nothing saying that he is just passing through the warning.
 * Disc Four: Homestar walks in and says he is on "TVD".
 * Disc Five: The Cheat appears on the typical warning this time dressed like a bandit. He puts a stencil over it and spray paints, revealing "Rad rad Robotank" from the Strong Bad Email episode "portrait".
 * Disc Six: Senor Cardgage pops up into the warning this time with paper crumpling noises. He says "oh...tapes", removes "Tapes" from the text of the warning. He states "This will really lower your grampson's GPA!" and walks off.
 * Everything Else
 * Volume One: Strong Bad walks in this time, and whips up a speech: "Strong Bad...BI warning. There are no Strong Bad emails on this DVD. So you may as well turn it off right now." The warning then disappears as if a TV was turned off.
 * Volume Two: Coach Z walks into the warning this time noticing the text, he thinks that it can make great use of lyrics for a "warning song" ("Hey look! Someone wrote some dope rhymes on this flashy wall here!") and begins to rap the following: "Federal law provides serial penalties. / Unauthorized, you can't handle me. / Video tapes are not discotapes! / FBI come up and snatch up your papes! / A one a-two, I'm out!".
 * Volume Three: The Videlectrix Man runs into the warning this time, trips and gives a thumbs up.
 * Sbemails' 50 Greatest Hits DVD: Strong Bad appears like in the Everything Else Volume 1 warning and has another speech: "Here's my rousing impression of you people whose favorite SBEmail didn't make it on the DVD: Wah wah snot snot sniff sniff wah.". An audience is heard cheering as Strong Bad bows saying "a-thank you, thank you" and leaves from the bottom.

Trivia:


 * strongbad_email.exe
 * Disc One: The whole animation and audio is from the similar joke on the site's legal page.
 * Disc Two: This references a scene from the Strong Bad Email "Couch Patch" (weirdly not on the DVD) wherein Homestar reveals his like of spitting Teddy Grahams.

FX/SFX: Depends on the DVD.

Music/Sounds: It depends on the DVD.
