It's not a double, but the videos are a few months old so I'm using that as an excuse to post Strong Bad playing old DOS games! So far, there's FriendlyWare, FriendlyWare update, and World Games.
Surely they must write some of this out ahead of time and do a lot of editing, but it sure seems like Chapman can just put on his Strong Bad voice and be effortlessly hilarious. But the sheer density of great jokes and wordplay is unreal.
These are great. Thanks JHarris!

I'm tempted to double post these links just so cortext can type BALEETED!

You can tell I'd been listening to Strong Bad because I called him "cortext".

I could watch Strong Bad playing old DOS games for hours on end. If the Brothers Chaps launched a Patreon to make more episodes of Disk 4 of 12, I'd be first in line.
Also, Strong Bad's personality seems to have changed a bit in recent times. He's a little more mellow, a little goofier, not quite as uptight and aggressive. I like this new Strong Bad. I think the Smarty Juice has done him a world of good.
Edit: Also also, "The More We Hail the Bus Driver" made me laugh so hard I couldn't breathe.

I just want to point out that moment, early in the first video, where live-action Strong Bad's boxing gloves repeatedly try to turn that page in the Friendlyware manual and failing, over and over. It's not referred to, it's not important, it's just a quiet little joke, and it's great.
