Guest Nevermortal Report post Posted February 19, 2003 What the hell is all this Strong Badia/Homestarruner stuff? Its seemingly spread through the net like some sort of STD, and I, who's usually up on these things has no fucking clue just what the hell it is. I demand help. Help me!

LaParkaYourCar 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2003 I've been wondering that myself, but just didn't care enough to ask about it. Must be some Canadian thing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kotzenjunge Report post Posted February 19, 2003 Here is where they're getting it from: HomestarRunner.com. It's good for a few chuckles, but isn't hilarious like people say. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest SP-1 Report post Posted February 19, 2003 The overall site isn't hilarious, but Strong Bad's emails are over like Bret Hart in Canada with me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest T®ITEC Report post Posted February 19, 2003 Not to mention that the short "Everybody To The Limit" is wonderous. Really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LaParkaYourCar 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2003 So it's not even a TV show it's just a web thing? I was wondering. Is Strong Bad a take off of "The Strong Bads" from the old NES game Tag Team Wrestling?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest SP-1 Report post Posted February 19, 2003 He possibly could be. He's a luchador (with Boxing Gloves) and his brother Strong Mad is a huge block of muscle with no neck that wears a singlet. Strong Sad is an elephant-like creature that's . . . well, depressed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LaParkaYourCar 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2003 Strong Bad even looks like one of the "Strong Bads" from the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest IDrinkRatsMilk Report post Posted February 19, 2003 Homestar Runner (the character) is... Brak. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kotzenjunge Report post Posted February 19, 2003 Homestar Runner is actually a friend of mine. He talks just like that. Seriously. He has the Elmber Fudd syndrome. His name is Mark, er, Mawk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LaParkaYourCar 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2003 Homestar Runner (the character) is... Brak. So they're done by the same people? I was noticing Strong Bad sounded like the little father from the Brak Show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest IDrinkRatsMilk Report post Posted February 19, 2003 I don't know who does them, actually I knew nothing about them until this thread either. I just watched a few of the toons and he reminded me pretty strongly of Brak. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LaParkaYourCar 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2003 Strong Bad IS based off the Strong Bads from Tag Team Wrestling. The game cartridge itself actually made an appearance in one of the cartoons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest evenflowDDT Report post Posted February 19, 2003 Strong Bad IS based off the Strong Bads from Tag Team Wrestling. The game cartridge itself actually made an appearance in one of the cartoons. Good call! Looking at a screen shot, its not a perfect match (then again, on the NES what is?), but its a clever reference that I never would've figured out. Pewsonally? I think Homestawwunnew is HIWARIOUS~! My roommate and I are sure to check every Monday for the new Strong Bad e-mail, which is by far the best part of the site, in my humble biased opinion. I'm even thinking of buying a Strong Bad hooded sweatshirt (I just have to figure out whether I should get 2XL or just XL). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Retro Rob Report post Posted February 19, 2003 I like Homestar. A few of his shorts are really funny, like the Lemonade commercial. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Metal Maniac Report post Posted February 19, 2003 I think the site is funny as all hell, but I've been having difficulty seeing anything new on it, since my soundcard is fucked. Oh, and I actually got the Strong Bad hoodie for Christmas. Yay! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Bruiser Chong Report post Posted February 19, 2003 Yeah, I've Homestarrunner.com has really caught on around here lately, as it seems like someone's always checking out the site. It's funny, but not hilarious. There are some definite hilarious shorts, but most are just sorta funny. Homestar Runner is easily the funniest character, if not for the speech thing, than just the things he says. Some of the best shorts include the Fluffy Puff commerical and the Interview, both featuring Homestar. Some of Strong Bad's emails are quite funny, although they aren't the funniest things you've ever seen. The Dragon, Everybody to the Limit, Techno, Spring Cleaning, and Ghosts are among the better Strong Bad emails. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
