Homestar Runner Wiki Forum

If I was a Homestar fan in 2002, the "no emails on the holidays" menu would have annoyed me. Just because Strong Bad wants to take a winter break from new emails doesn't mean he should deprive us of emails he already did.

Maybe there was a way around it. You could always type in the URL directly, I suppose.

Live action Limozine/Sloshy/Tarrancula/Puppets I find are the most annoying. I find Live action just kinda lamer. These guys are not real actors and any attempt in real life makes them seem cheesy in a bad way. While the cartoons are much better quality.

4 things have annoyed me:
THAT STUPID LITTLE CRACKPOT STUNTMAN!
has never appeared in a toon as a MAIN character(that I know of)

The Paper. Why didn't they bring him back for good in Sbemail 200?

Sbemail 200 wasn't that funny at all... Only when sang and when the New Paper got beaten senseless by The Paper.

Listen, all of you need to shut up about the paper. Nobody really gives a rat's crap about it.
Also, Homsar was in as a main guy in "Where's The Cheat". I watched just a half an hour ago.
Why do all of you hate Crack Stuntman?

I think it is in fact you who needs to not post such harsh words about the man with the green and white stripes. The Paper had a lot of personality (especially for a piece of paper), and I know I'm not alone in giving a rat's crap caring about its fate, however crazy it would seem to an outsider to do so.

I don't hate Crack Stuntman any more than I'm supposed to by just watching the toons.

I think it's too early for you to give up your hopes... and I don't mind either way about which paper survived.

The most recent thing that upset me is the pacing problems in SBEmail 200. Within about 30 seconds, you get the Poopsmith breaking his vow of silence, an misdirected email that's on screen for 10 or so frames, Homestar flipping the entire SBEmail universe upside-down (Strong Sad's words, I know) and Strong Bad acting in retaliation. It seems to me that more recent additions to the site suffer the same problem, trying to stuff too much into one little cartoon where half way through it you're wondering how you got to where you are.

Call me slow, but just look at 'dragon' in comparison. The pace is slower, and the delivery of jokes is more drawn out, resulting in one of the finest things ever to grace this great big internet of ours.

Too much fake band stuff. I mean, it's okay, but I think it should only be used for special occasion or little jokes in toons or emails, not whole things on their own. I mean, the American Football Championship Game and Limozeen stuff-that-they-do-in-the-00-sbemails are okay, (special occasions) but Trudgemank and Limozeen meets Sloshy were just kinda... thrown out there. o.o

*hopes she doesn't have rabid The Cheats thrown at her*

A similar problem happens to some TV shows as they age. Family Guy and notoriously The Simpsons suffer from this problem. It's not that there aren't funny jokes in newer episodes; it's that they don't tell a story anymore (sticking to one concept), and so it comes off as being too disjointed. Now that I think about it, this happens to a lot of shows (too many to list here).

You know, I was thinking of the Simpsons as I wrote it.

Yeah, I agree. I liked when things were more simple and subtle. The cartoons are still pretty good though.
