Homestar Runner - hai guoys

[Burger Feet]

Damn, I might have to re-watch some SBemails and bust out my favorite cereal.

 

[Two by Four]

"There used to be an end to the website." resonates with me after multiple viewings.

Kinda interesting aside: the dude who invented infinite scrolling (Aza Raskin) had his Oppenheimer moment years ago and now runs a nonprofit that tries to convince people how utterly awful the modern internet (i.e. social media) is for humanity.

As someone of the age where Homestar Runner was prime bait during its heyday, I’m glad this pit of weirdness and joy still exists on the interwebs.

Homestar literally gave me brain rot. In high school, I had a teacher who let me control a billboard in his classroom and I, naturally, littered it with various characters saying various catchphrases.

“No probalo” is literally part of my vocabulary and I’ve had to explain it to The Youth who don’t know what the fuck I’m talking about when I say it. (I also have been known to say “refinancin’!” every now and then.)

I now live in a country with a lot of thatched-roof houses and, well, I’m sure you can imagine what that triggers my brain to start doing.

No two children are not on fire, awwwwww.

From 2004 to this very day, I still say haldo to people.

The decline of the internet is almost 1-for-1 with the decline of Homestar Runner's upload schedule. Biscuitdoughhandsman is the likely culprit.

The Internet died the day it became "tweet @strongbadactual" instead of "email strongbad"

That man coined the phrase "Freedom of Speech is not freedom of reach." His interest lies in killing off discourse as opposed to helping people touch grass.

Cool it with the antisemitism

Pretty huge leap in animation skills. Homestar and Strongbad definitely bring me back.

 

[All Smiles]

I haven't been this psyched since I got my Kick the Cheat last month.

Idiot. Now I know where all your cash and jewels are hidden.

I hope they do a new Teen Girl Squad one of these days.

This is all fat free, right?

 

[Preferred Penne]

I suddenly have the urge to buy all our playsets and toys.

You say Tomater, I say Tomatermorts.

This post has reminded me of a very accurately named YouTube video:

"Homestar Runner scenes that permanently changed my dialect"

There are far too many posts for me to individually respond to each of them but the number of people here dropping quotes is pretty impressive. I grew up during the early days of the internet and Homestar Runner was a big part of that. I'm truly glad to see that it is lodged as deeply in some of you guys' brains as it is mine.

I miss little brudda

 

[Ah ha']

I only recently played through the wii game it was like a nice extended webtoon in 3D

Id recommend it if you have like small kids and want something similar in feel to those old “read me a story” discs where you can click on everything and see funny animations and dialogue. You can get it on GoG.

H*R did irreparable damage to my vernacular.

For me it's Feed the Childrens, Senor Cardgage Mortgage and Sblounskched!

I was one of the HSRWiki super-autists back in the day. Homestar Runner Halloween specials were some of the coziest shit ever for kids like me.

Facebook keeps trying to get me join HSR groups but they're loaded with faggot libs that post "Homestar Says Trans Rights!" which fills me with homicidal rage.

 

[The Doctor]

A new HomestarRunner cartoon releases and all is right in the world.

Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to play with my Cheat Commandos action figures and lead them in the Action Figure Storage Truck™ into battle against the evil forces of Blue Laser. ROCK, ROCK ON!
