web Homestar Runner

[A Black Circle 1,586]

I think I'm the only human being on the planet who got the Temple of Apshai reference in SBEmail.

New toon! (

)

Well OK, it's mostly a new Sloshy song, but it's still awesome to see more updates!

 

What's this? Highlightable text in a Homestar Runner animation? Absurd!

The Strong Bad has come down from his crystal fortress and has brought us literature gold!

H*R was a thing before people filmed themselves doing reaction videos.  What we need to do is find someone who has never seen the series before and convince them to do reaction videos watching through them all.

 

(I became convinced of this after watching some reactions to various "Ponies: The Anthology" videos, and seeing most of them not get the ones that are H*R references.  I mean, it feels like a crime to not know who Trogdor is.)

Seeing as Homestar Runner is unfortunately much less known now (probably due to the hiatus), it probably won't be that hard to find people who haven't seen the website yet. The question is, what would you show people who are new to it?

Well, going back to when I introduced a friend to it a long time ago, I would probably show them the welcome video first:

My friends and I loved these videos when we were in high school. I've hardly thought about them since. I'm kind of afraid of revisiting this stuff now. Homestar Runner just feels like such an artifact from Web 1.0. Sometimes you should let the past be just that.

This is probably why Matt mentioned in an interview he was in about the possibility of revamping the website and putting the old stuff in a museum section like they've done with the even older stuff. Mind you, it's been a while since I listened to it so I may be wrong.

That's a great idea. Let the new material be unburdened and speak for itself.

[Time Shield 402]

I kind of disagree.  I think a lot of the old stuff is still hilarious, especially after not having watched it for a while.

[Mr. Nutt™ 146]

If I recall correctly, the main reason behind the redesign idea was that he thinks the website's layout is a little confusing to new people.

 

On a side note, I've added some full screen addons to the OP for those who feel Homestar Runner seems a little tiny on their big monitors.

It seems they showed a new Sbemail at something called Dad's Garage. Unfortunately, it seems the only video of this was recorded on a potato.

 

 

Hopefully they add it to the website or something so it can be seen in a less potato quality state.

While it isn't directly Homestar Runner related, it seems the Brother's Chap made some strange shorts for Disney.

Flash is dead!... apparently.

[Mr. Nutt™ 146]

Good news! There's a Halloween toon on the way! So yeah, have a teaser. Sorry, no YouTube version.

 

 

[Mr. Nutt™ 146]

Can someone explain to me what Homestar Runner is exactly?

Is it a comedy series or something?

Homestar Runner is pretty much a comedy series. As for how to explain it to someone new, apparently this toon helps. The main source of the website's success is pretty much Strong Bad Email (or Sbemail). I guess the best way to really learn about this site is to check out a few toons. Sorry if I made it sound rubbish, I've never been any good at explaining things.

....

While I don't know about the Pokémon Abridged thing (HRWiki has no mention of this, and they document EVERYTHING), Matt Chapman has definitely done work on Gravity Falls. Seems he also did writing on quite a few episodes and has done a few voices (Mermando, for example). And now I close with this Vine.

While he might not have been part of it directly, they for sure took the homestarrunner personality for ash, and a bit... lot more evil strongbad for pikachu >.>

Halloween toon time! (Website link)

 

While it would be nice to see the return of regular updates, it's still nice to see this tradition is still happening.

Is it just me, or does Marzipan's voice sound... different? I mean, it's still probably Missy's voice, but it just sounds like she's a bit out of practice with it.

 

Also, the title of the flash webpage is "St. Cadaverstump's Home for Wayward Sbemails." Foreshadowing? A hint at what be to come?

What? The compy 386 is in second???...to the LAPPY???...but the compy had the best episodes of the series!!!

The "Virus" email, is still my all time favourite toon!

 

In all honesty though, it makes me happy to see this thread. Homestar Runner truely is one of the best websites the internet ever produced.

 

And thank goodness they're back!

With a second series of Two More Eggs confirmed, I guess now's a good time as any to ask, what do you guys think about Two More Eggs? For me, while I wasn't too sure at first because of the focus on Dooble, it grew on me with the other shorts.

 

(In case you missed it in a previous post, Two More Eggs is also made by Matt and Mike Chapman, so it's technically relevant)

[Mr. Nutt™ 146]

Hope you guys like Marzipan's answering machine! Because it seems they made a 30 minute one. (No website link this time as it uses the YouTube video anyway)
