Title: Homestar, Strongbad, and The Cheat
Post by: Corsair on March 01, 2003, 05:52:47 pm: //www.homestarrunner.com

just a funny site (or at least my basketball team thinks so), so I thought I'd share it with you. The best parts are the toons and the emails that get sent to Strongbad.

And some people might not think its funny. It's a certain taste I think....

Well, I suppose it would explain the rise of Adam Sandler...

In this modern day, with all sorts of advanced drawing and CG tools, you'd think it'd be possible for people to draw better than an epileptic four-year-old armed with a Crayola before they tried to release something commercially. I'm not expecting a Matisse, but five minutes of work before slapping some unidentifiable crap on a webpage is not too much to ask.

2. Baby talking. I'm probably the only one, but this drives me ****ing insane. I've never heard a funny joke told by a mushmouthed adult pretending to be prepubescent, and I've never heard an actual child who sounded this stupid.

3. **** jokes. Very funny. Didn't we grow out of these at 14, when we started realizing girls didn't have cooties? It's a bit late for the anal stage to appeal to me personally.

Title: Homestar, Strongbad, and The Cheat
Post by: Stryke 9 on March 01, 2003, 06:57:40 pm: I have strict standards for my humor- it has to be funny, or I don't find it entertaining.

Post by: ZylonBane on March 01, 2003, 09:24:12 pm: Stryke's comments might bother me if they actually bore any resemblance to the HSR site. But since he's clearly describing some other site, I'll just let him babble on.

HSR is like any episodic fiction. If you just watch one, you're missing out on all the context, history, and injokes. So for newbies to HSR, I recommend the following regimen--

1. Characters (http://www.homestarrunner.com/characters2.html). Familiarize yourself with the cast.
2. Fluffy Puff Marshmallows commercial (http://www.homestarrunner.com/fluffypuff2.html). A perfect crash-course in the personality of Homestar Runner.
3. The Interview (http://www.homestarrunner.com/interview.html). Shows the relationship between Strong Bad and Homestar.
4. Homestarloween Party (http://www.homestarrunner.com/homestarloween.html). All the supporting cast in action. (The House That Gave Sucky Treats (http://www.homestarrunner.com/halloween2001.html) makes a good but optional followup to this).
5. Strong Bad Emails (http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail.html). Now you're finally ready for the emails. The newest emails are at the top, so scroll all the way down to the first one and click away. Force yourself to sit through the first ten before deciding whether you like it or not. Remember how bad the first season of Star Trek: TNG was? The emails do get better as they go, but you still need to read all of them to get the injokes.

I sure don't want to put this (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/fetchfido/games/donkey/donkey.htm) up.

Oops. I did.

While you're at it, go play with this (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/fetchfido/games/poop_boy/poopboy.htm).

Really? You're invested personally in this site now, so that criticism of it offends you?

Does it challenge your manhood that I think this site blows, Zylon?

Let that little ball of hate relax, Zylon. It's okay now. You don't have to be afraid any more.

Post by: Stryke 9 on March 02, 2003, 01:31:16 am: Ba-dum-tish!

This from the guy who hardly ever does anything but talk ****. For such a limited repertoire, you've got awfully narrow vision when it comes to what others are doing.

You're losing your touch, my good man.
