Mr. Nutt™ 146 July 27, 2013 Share July 27, 2013 (edited) Since I didn't see one, here's a thread about Homestar Runner! While I know the website hasn't updated for quite a while, I still think it would be nice to have a thread to talk about the good times. You know, like what was your favourite Sbemail, Big Toon, Short, Teen Girl Squad episode and so on. Also, what was the first thing you ever watched from this site? For me, it was the Sbemail, Japanese Cartoon. Before I forget, I already know about Strong Bad's appearance at W00tstock. By the way, if you think Homestar Runner seems a little tiny in your 1080p/4k/whatever monitor, I've got a thing that can help! Chrome extension Firefox extension Got a different browser? Well I can't really help there. Edited June 1, 2015 by Mr. Nutt™ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReverseFaller 2,483 April 9, 2014 Share April 9, 2014 I had a friend who lked Homestar Runner back in the day. I remember watching some of the videos with him. They weren't all that bad. I may have to start watching these videos again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They weren't all that bad the best things ever. I may have to start watching these videos again. There, I fixed it for you. Also, I had a dream that my friend had a Strong Bad pop-up book. It was the book of my dreams. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Guide 21,325 April 10, 2014 Share April 10, 2014 You know what's funny? For April's Fools Day this year, the Brother Chaps actually made a joke video to reflect the long hiatus the website has had over the last few years. The funny thing is that I'm taking a Physics class and we were starting with Coulomb's law. As soon as I first heard this lecture, I thought of the Strong Bad Email, 4 branches, when Strong Bad brought up how sometimes Homestar does something so stupid that he flips back to smarts. STRONG BAD: You know how in video games, if you get the super-duper high score, it eventually flips back to zero? Well, sometimes Homestar does something so stupid, he flips back to smart. {The scoreboard disappears as a dotted line is traced to a picture of Homestar with a graduation cap on. A caption appears under him that says "The joint Sub-Committee On So Stupid It's Smart-ities". Cut to Homestar in the Field atop a soap box with Strong Sad in the foreground. The words "Fourteen Times" are written on the soapbox.} HOMESTAR RUNNER: Awash with flavor! STRONG SAD: Uh, okay Homestar. Then what's two plus two? HOMESTAR RUNNER: Well, {speaking quickly} the force between any two charges is equal to the absolute value of the multiple of the charges— {cut to a closeup; computer-type noises begin playing in the background} —divided by 4 pi times the vacuum permittivity times the distance squared between the two charges. {Cut to Strong Sad.} STRONG SAD: No, no, no, stupid! That's Coulomb's law. HOMESTAR RUNNER: Oh, {cut back to wide shot of Homestar} right, sorry! Two plus two? That's easy. Twenty-two. Maybe if I didn't take this class at just the right time, I probably wouldn't have return to the website and seen the April's Fools video that satirizes the long hiatus. And why come not many people are talking about HR anymore? I know the Brothers Chap do no ads and its popularity spread throgh word-of-mouth, but it would be cool if they came back on this. Hmm.. Homestarrunner.com is Flash animated too, just like MLP:FiM...I wonder... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homestarrunner.com is Flash animated too, just like MLP:FiM...I wonder... I knew exactly what you were gonna refer to as soon as I read "Coulomb's Law". And yeah, I saw that video the next day. Near 'bout had a heart attack when I did my regular check-up-on-homestarrunner.com-to-once-again-be-disappointed-at-the-fact-that-they-still-haven't-updated-it-in-years only to find that there was actually something new. Needless to say, I was perplexed and intriguéd. Didn't dawn on me until later that it was April Fools. Furthermore, I also stumbled across the update due to something totally random that happened to remind me of something on the site. I was reading a textbook, and it quoted They Might Be Giants' "Experimental Film", which I then went to watch, only to discover something else entirely. One thing I love so much about the site is that there are references and jokes in some of the cartoons that I still get for the first time even now. Like just last night, I watched Senior Prom, and when SB said at the end that he was going to take Deleliah to "see David Copafeel perform", I was all like http://stickerish.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/ISeeWhatYouDidThereBlackSS.png Edited April 10, 2014 by Henny Penny Benny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katana 298 April 10, 2014 Share April 10, 2014 I was pretty happy to see them have that small update. From what I understand, the creators have moved on to doing other animation work for large studios, so they're definitely not just flipping burgers for a living now. I have a DVD of E-mails 0-100, and at some point I might look back through a bunch of them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Nutt™ 146 April 10, 2014 Author Share April 10, 2014 Too bad it'll probably never lead to anything more than an April Fools Day joke, though. I'd rather see it as proof they haven't abandoned the website completely (other than the fact they have to renew the domain every year). Anyway, the still owe us that Sbemail they promised over Twitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Nutt™ 146 October 3, 2014 Author Share October 3, 2014 While it's not really much of an update, it seems Strong Bad is now on Twitter. So I guess some of that stuff that was brought up in that interview is starting to happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Guide 21,325 November 12, 2014 Share November 12, 2014 (edited) You know what's funny? Well First of all, I knew what a theremin was before seeing Rainbow Rocks, because I saw one being used in the 3rd episode of Strong Bad's Cool Game 4 Attractive People titled Baddest of the Bands, which was released October 2008 and was about Strong Bad throwing a battle of the bands to raise money to fix his outdated video game system. Second and my main point, I recently replayed that episode for the first time in a while and I re-discovered this: Early on, Strong Bad can talk to Strong Sad about how he's going to put on a battle of the bands and this conversation happened: Strong Bad: ...Strong Bad organizes a legendary battle royale of the bands! Strong Sad: No, you're not! Strong Bad: No, really! It will have security and celebrity judges and everything! Strong Sad: (seeing a opportunity to trick SB) And Ponies? Strong Bad: Yeah, and ponies! I-wait, awwww.... Strong Sad: Heh, Heh. Did you see that? That was back in 2008 and here we are 6 years later, and now with Rainbow Rocks, we got something about a battle of the bands with ponies included (though only for 5 minutes, but still) Edited November 12, 2014 by WiiGuy2014 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treble Bolt 1,122 November 12, 2014 Share November 12, 2014 I remember stumbling across Strong Bad in high school....that's like 5 years ago....wow...I am old... probably should pick up Homestar Runner again, it was funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Nutt™ 146 January 9, 2015 Author Share January 9, 2015 Sorry I took so long to post this, but it seems we're getting another children's book from Strong Bad!... In Summer. Though it seems they're doing this one for a charity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
