strong414bad vs. RabbitSnore was a YouTube Poop/Video Tennis match that took place between January 26 and January 30, 2008. It was played as part of Set 2 of the Tennis League 2 on the Vanilla-era YouChew forums within Division B, a group that also contained the players UncleChuckTH, SeductiveBaz, Gallers and GameBop. RabbitSnore had previously played UncleChuckTH in Set 1, and strong414bad had entered in as a replacement after Wikiwow dropped out, who had previously played SeductiveBaz. Sources added include Flight of the Conchords(Season 1 Episode 7 - "Bowie"(2007)), Labyrinth(1986), Star Fox(SNES, 1993), Star Fox 64(N64, 1997), Pac-Man World(PS1, 1999), the Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated miniseries, the music video for the TOY-BOX song "Tarzan & Jane"(1998), an internet video of a rabbit snoring, and an internet video of a conspiracy protester in an Easter Bunny suit.

This was the 12th match to be played by RabbitSnore and the 5th match to be played by strong414bad. While the tennis staff had yet to exist at this time, this was the first tournament match to be played between two members who would be a part of the first generation of that staff, with Rabbit also being its creator. While exact records are lost, strong414bad, according to RabbitSnore, "dominated [the] match in terms of votes", making this the only match that strong414bad would win in this tournament. With Rabbit playfully referring to strong414bad from then on as "the first person to [remix] a rabbit snoring", this match has since also been recognized as the first match in tennis where the software Windows Movie Maker was proven to be able to hold its own against more technically proficient software in the right hands; strong414bad at the time was the only prominent user of Windows Movie Maker within tennis and the earliest to use it as a signature of his playing style. While the majority of RabbitSnore's videos have been lost since the deletion of his channel in 2019, both of his rounds for this match were saved by GameBop and restored to YouTube in early 2020, making this currently the only full match played by RabbitSnore that survives intact. It was compiled into a single video on the official video tennis account YouWouldBeWelcome in June 2021.

Round 2 of this match, RabbitSnore's "This Is What Happens When You Poop Rabbits"(2008), was one of the 33 Round 2's sampled in GameBop's "Seconds, Anyone?"(2010), their serve for their match with Sploltoen and MycroProcessor in the 3-Way Tennis Tournament.
