Homestar Runner - hai guoys

[XYZpdq Jr.]

I was actually thinking about this the other day. With all the consternation in the press about Elon Musk and DOGE, has anyone linked any of this to Homestar? There's a weird progression where "Doge" went from a Shiba Inu meme, to a cryptocurrency, to a goverment spending watchdog organization; but the origin of the "Doge" mispelling and pronounciation on the Internet was a puppet Homestar video (even the Doge wikipedia article references this).

oh yeah
tbh I forgot about that

you see, the thing that makes Homestar Runner so beloved is that its completely apolitical and people from all sides can laugh at it. Taking that away from the site completely destroys most of what made it unique.

I don't know I feel like Strongbad would hate troons.

They give him the jibbliest of jibblies.

While there are some good Homestar Runner episodes, most of it (ESPECIALLY SBEMAIL) is the 2000s equivilant of skibidi toilet.
Or maybe I just don't understand it because I didn't grow up with it and only bingewatched every episode of it many years later like a complete autist.

If you hate homsar so much why don't you kill him?

The YouTube comments for Biz Cas Fri 1 are flooded with references to/rants about DOGE.

I can't believe I didn't think of that. Wasn't disappointed

 

[The Cunting Death]

I still have a strong bad little figure I sat him on the laptop and watched it

my homsar figurine is sitting on my desk right now

Strongbad hates everything except of course having a Cold One and making fun / terrorizing everybody.

In terms of the characters Marzipan and Strong Sad would be the ones most accepting of troons. Bubs would get a bunch of merch that catered to them because that's what he does.

 

[NOT Sword Fighter Super]

I don't know I feel like Strongbad would hate troons.

Yet a bet a lot of the HSR crew fans trooned out.

We all know Strong Bad likes women.

 

[From The Uncanny Valley]

Somone who is a girl

 

[CyrusHowler]

I haven’t thought about Homestar Runner in literal years.
Takes me back.

Lots of memories.

Also.. I miss flash. Nothing has replaced it in the end, HTML5 has turned into control loss nightmare. Among other things/issue. Pretty clear once again why it was killed, especially when one takes into account it's most vocal enemies.

Here's some fun trivia for you 2000s Cartoon spergs:
In the episode Bloo's Brothers from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, there's a scene where a bunch of Bloo clones cut from one another, and one of them is a very clear reference to Homestar's appearance.

There's apparently more references to Homestar besides this, but this is the one I'm familiar with. It makes sense that a show animated entirely in Flash would pay a nice homage to the flash webshow that took the internet by storm early on.

 

[XYZpdq Jr.]

local college radio has a promo by Homestar and one by Strong Bad
also some loser nobodies like some Ollie Stone movie guy, and some Rotten Johnny singer man

I didn’t know about that! The Brothers Chaps also worked on Wander Over Yonder, another Craig McCracken show.

Should I do it, bros?

HTML5 has turned into control loss nightmare.

I remember rumblings about html5 break when the death of flash was first announced but had no idea it was shit also.

yet again this is the first i am hearing of this despite actively looking for what they have been up to. to add to the pile here is something they worked on that i havent heard mentioned here.

you can tell a lot of the creative energy that would have went into HSR went into this project instead.

Which is itself a reference to sbemail 146. I need to watch that show.
