While I'm a big fan of H*R and all the numerous spin-offs and shorter and bigger toons - at times even the hremails - in my opinion the sbemails still remain the 'cream of the crop'. Here's why: The H*R universe basically revolves around Strong Bad, not around Homestar as the title of the website might suggest. Strong Bad as well as Strong Sad are the only characters that have an actual, complex and reflective personality that goes beyond any two-dimensional stereotype such as strong mad or the king of town. Whilst Strong Sad, being a brilliant juxtaposition to Strong Bad with his whiney and depressing nature, is rather unfitted for the role of a leading character, Strong Bad himself fits perfectly. With his selfish, egocentric behavior all of his appearances are fun to watch. Strong Bad and Strong Sad being the leading characters, Homestar, Marzipan, Coach Z and the Cheat just fall somewhat short in terms of interest. Homestars loose grasp of the world around him and his apparently very simple mind are just bound to be less entertaining in contrast to Strong Bad. Whilst Marzipan, Coach Z and the Cheat are all great characters, they would never be able to do a whole cartoon on their own. Homestar got some of his own cartoons - yes - though this was less due to his character, than much more credited to a very entertaining background story (e.g. yello dello). In conclusion my question: can you name me a cartoon with neither Strong Bad nor Strong Sad appearing in it - which you actually enjoyed (let aside cheat commandos)?… I can only think of The King of Town Toon (losing his sheep) and it wasn’t a very entertaining one - except for the commentary... by Strong Bad. |

Not appearing whatsoever is a little too restricting. I'd say "The Cheat Theme Song" was probably pretty funny. Yes, Strong Bad does "appear" in the song as a floating head and at the end, but he doesn't really have any bearing on the funniness of the cartoon. I mean, all he said was "I don't think it was very good... the visuals were lacking". But HOMESTAR said "This is the best videogame I have ever played".   Some fans are too picky. Let the Chaps run the site the way they want.

Hremail 63 Hremail 2000 (not including easter egg) And then there are the severals of toons that don't STAR then even if they have them. Also, why not cheat commandos? |

I think it's a little harsh to say that only Strong Bad and Strong Sad have any actual personality. As a fanfiction writer and reader, I must say that all the characters are complex. When the characters are written poorly or too simply, it shows which must say something about their canon personalities. I've always found Homestar to be the most complex after Strong Bad. Obviously, there's a little personal bias there because I adore the no-armed whitey, but there's subtle nuances in his personality. He's not a sweet, lovable, doe-eyed goof, he's got a very selfish, narcissistic side to him and a major sense of entitlement (knowing for sure he'd be captain of the team in Kick-a-Ball, not understand why Marzipan would want to be anyone else's girlfriend but his, etc.) But I'm getting off topic! I do want SBemails back. But I think the reason TBC stopped was because the format was a little restricting (as paraodied in SBemaliarized entertainment). Stopping them all together (or at least some sort of indefinite hiatus) allows them to play around again. Since SBemails have stopped, we've gotten a lot of truly clever, interesting toons. Can you blame TBC for wanting to play around with the rest of their characters after focusing on Strong Bad for so long? |

No, I think they should continue all of the categories, hremails as well as sbemails, PBTC as well as the alternate stuff like 20X6 and the black and the oldtimey stuff. Even though I don't like some of them, I understand that there are fans who like and enjoy them. As to characters, yes, I do like SB and SS very much, they are funny and interesting characters. But I also like Homestar very much, and he's funny and interesting as well. In a weird and often confusing way, but I don't see any problem in that. |

TBC should really switch around what cartoons & stuff they make each week. Something like:
Week 2: Homestar Runner Email Week 3: 20X6 Week 4: Powered by The Cheat Week 5:Teen Girl Squad Week 6: Marzipan's Answering Machine Week 7: Cheat Commandos Week 8: Holiday Toon (When needed) Week 8/9: Old-Timey Week 9/10: Anything they want Ever since Strong Bad Email became a regular feature. There has been an inbalance in the cartoons. Maybe with this system, we can have balance again. |

(I am going to get SO much flaiming for this) I enjoyed most of the sbemails, but after awhile they got horribly annoying. I joined AFTER sbemail 200. I'm sick of clicking the random button looking for a toon I missed or just something random, and its always the sbemail loading screen. I counted one time and got about 10 before getting to a regular toon. Come on people, TWO-HUNDRED of them, is no one sick of them yet?

Good Point, as of lately we are having more toons, each funnier and more original. Since Sbemails left, Toons have been showing up in truck loads. |

Once again, another person doesn't realize that... IT'S OVER. The Chaps even said it was on a DVD commentary. Either read up your facts before adding "Bring Back SBEmails Topic #27" or just don't say anything. SBEmails derailed the site for 5 to 7 years, driving it away from the main star and leaving little room for creativity. I bet when they finished, it felt like they got a large load of bricks off their backs. They then thought of HREmails, which show more promise than the old series. So, please don't post another topic about the SBEmails, please. It won't matter how much you plead, it's done. Times change. Things grow old. New things happen. Strong Bad Emails did their course, and it left to make way for new humor with potential. It's been said and done by the Chaps themselves, and what is done is done. Goodbye SBEmails. Forever. |

Yeah, the context of that commentary doesn't really make it clear exactly how serious they were. It's in and of itself insufficient to prove sbemails are gone forever. On indefinite hiatus, though, they definitely are. Could end anytime now, could end never. No one knows. Furthermore, your post is a bit unnecessarily confrontational. Your implication that people aren't checking their facts isn't fair when many people simply question whether the commentary was meant seriously or not. And I'm definitely going to need you not to tell people what topics and posts to make and not make. Please leave that to moderators and admins. Thanks. |

I think they should have variety, but Waddle Dee's system is still too restrictive - TBC would be like "Oh, we've gotta do a Marzipan's Answering Machine this week." "What? But we've got, like, no ideas to put in it! And Missy has laryngitis! And we killed off all the other characters!" "Hey, the schedule says MAM!" So, imho, TBC should do whatever they feel like doing that week. It's how they did it before sbemails, and there's no reason they should stop doing that. I'm not saying sbemails shouldn't come back, but doing them regularly would really limit their creativity, so they could be occasional like MAM or TGS. |

I think that they should come back if/when TBC decide they feel like it. TBC should just do whatever kind of toon they feel like doing, since if they're just doing it because it's what the schedule says or it's time to do it or whatever, they won't enjoy it as much and so they won't have as much creativity and so it won't be as funny. If they want to make SBemails, they should make SBemails. If they don't want to make SBemails, they shouldn't make SBemails. It's entirely their decision. By the way, Homestar is my second favorite character. I like him way more than Strong Bad. Just because you think that Strong Bad and Strong Sad are the most enjoyable, that doesn't mean that it's a fact that they have the most potential. |

I love Strong Bad, but I'm about done with SBemails. I think they need to get back to Homestar-- either that, or rename the site "strongbad.com". As much as I love Strong Bad, I like Homestar, too. I would probably like him a lot more if there were actually toons being made about him. Strong Bad is great, but this "badmania" is getting ridiculous. With 200 toons and a VIDEO GAME SERIES all to himself, I think SB has had his time to shine. I think there should be a series chronicling Coach Z's everyday life, as he's not obscure and random to the point where he's unusable except for easter eggs (I think you all know who I'm talking about here) but he's not overused either. Anyway, I wish SBemails didn't have to end so abruptly. They could still do them every once and a while, and remove the "sbemail" link on the navigation bar (it's always seemed strange that somehow sbemails are of equal importance to the toons section). If SB is gone for a little while, I won't miss him too much. |

| Post subject: | Three Things |
Firstly: Homestar's humor mostly subsists of either lack of intelligence or completely outrageous or weird behavior. Which gets old sometimes. Whereas Strong Bad mostly puts his own commentary on the world or great speeches about how awesome he is, which covers a really broad spectrum and leaves numerous opportunities for stories. Because of this, Homestar is thrust into situations and SB can just waltz right in. Secondly: Given its run so far all Hremails seem to have taken place at some talkshow format rather than his computer which can greatly wander from the fact that this is an electronic letter. We don't get the subtle text format of answers which can start small and then go places, Homestar directly runs into the random and strange as an attempt at entertainment which while fresh at first, can lose its novelty at times. Strong Bad has a computer, a nice friendly and familiar place with which he can start the e-mail just using a simple and lengthy explanation that does not sound at all like it was rehearsed or done with effort, letting his own charisma and wit carry on the life of the cartoon. A cherry topping and a..cherry bottom-ing. Lastly (Thirdly): Again, I know I sort of blurbed about this in the second thing, but Homestar just tries way too hard. He's not human, not even attempting to be. Over the years with the website he has proven more and more that he does not learn and he does not mature. He's proven he works much better as a side character, he's grown more and more one-dimensional. We laugh at Homestar's starring roles because of their abnormalities, but we laugh at Strong Bad's because of his reaction to them. Maybe I reargued some points, which I apologize for but there's a reason Strong Bad (at least for some time, I know the Compy era was pretty good) Emails were such a big hit. It's because they were approachable and not at all like it stank of the writing as poor as some children's show on Nick or Disney that thrives off simple-minded humor, more about simple foibles and tendencies than a parody of them. Whereas Hremails, well... |

Well, speaking from my point of view, I'd say SBemails are kinda overrated. Also being I can't stand Strong Bad, but nontheless. Some of them were very enjoyable, being a fan of cartoon violence, myself. But, I am also very glad that they are putting up new toons, and trying out new things, and more or less, Updating the weeklies again. |

I wasn't sure I'd ever post here. Honestly, I try to avoid this forum. You see, silly little ol' me found the HR website years ago and have been enjoying it thoroughly ever since. It wasn't until I discovered the forum that, actually, everything I liked about it sucked. It's been quite an education. I've tried to learn without thinking that anyone is a loudmouth know-it-all, but I suppose I'm just not sophisticated enough. Minoring in literature and becoming a moderately successful writer and critic just doesn't give you the perspective you should get, apparently. Still, as ignorant as I am of the subtleties of good humor and story development, I nonetheless feel compelled to answer one of these obviously superior minds - and I would object to anyone calling them arrogant nitwits, so I would appreciate if no one used such terminology. Here I go. buhubs wrote: Firstly: Homestar's humor mostly subsists of either lack of intelligence or completely outrageous or weird behavior. Which gets old sometimes.

It's because they were approachable and not at all like it stank of the writing as poor as some children's show on Nick or Disney that thrives off simple-minded humor, more about simple foibles and tendencies than a parody of them. Whereas Hremails, well... Ah, the old over-analysis of good humor. I believe it was 20 year-old college students with goatees and ponytails who originally decided that, after careful examination and dissection of classic humor, the Marx Brothers were vastly superior to the Three Stooges. How frustrating it must have been for them that this did not cause people to immediately ditch the wiseguys for constant reruns of "Animal Crackers". Don't get me wrong, I love the Marx Brothers. Their brotherly chemistry and well-honed comic timing gave us some unparalleled moments of feature comedy - at least until "A Night at the Opera", which nonetheless suffered from the lack of Zeppo. But it's the Three Stooges everyone remembers the most. Nearly everyone who has seen television marathons of Three Stooges shorts has a favorite Stooge and many favorite moments - and this is true around the world, including in places where people who spoke no English at all and yet entire villages would gather around the one available television and laugh as the boys stumbled into their various misadventures. Ah, but these days things are different. These days, you can't have a main character in a Hollywood comedy who isn't "cool". And I am so very uncool. I go as far as to roll my eyes every time someone begins talking to me excitedly about the latest Adam Sandler film coming out. And my temptation to smack people who tell me that they hate Winnie the Pooh but Tigger is sooooooooooo cool is so strong that it's difficult to fight at times. That might seem to be a slight change of subject, but the principle is the same. Just as you can't have an animated children's film these days without a goofy, over-the-top sidekick to sharpen the focus on how "with-it" the main character is. Insecure people want to see themselves in these "sharp-witted" (oh, how loosely I have to define that in order to use it in this context) characters. I'd be willing to bet the Brothers Chaps are well versed in old comedy. If not, I can say they'd have been perfectly at home in that era. There simply isn't much comedy made these days that I can watch over and over again, and I find myself at the HR website every single day, if only to watch a single piece. They currently reside in my heart right next to my favorite Three Stooges shorts (you'd think that watching "Spook Louder" as many times as I have would make anyone tired of it, and yet I can't stop - Curly and the balloon is just possibly the most brilliant comedy bit I've ever seen). And so, Mr. buhubs, I come to your comments. So today, we've got a new sbemail. I'm sure this pleases a lot of people. Now, I love Strong Bad, but I am very much with the folks here who got a little sick of him. His brand of comedy is very commonplace. It's good, but it doesn't stand out. Strong Bad has a bit more depth than the average stand-up comedian, but that's basically what he is. Without the rest of the characters, Strong Bad himself simply wouldn't keep me coming back to the site. Now, while I appreciate that you have shared your infinite wisdom about what characters we should like and care about, I simply cannot bring myself to agree. In fact, I cannot think of any retort beyond "bite me". I want more Homestar and there appears to be quite a few of us, as ignorant as we must be. I hope this latest toon does not signal a return to the previous form. Thank you. |

Panther, you seem obnoxiously arrogant. You act like somebody is attacking you, insulting the validity of your opinion, in your very first paragraph. And you're not acting like any less of a know-it-all than anyone else one this forum. By the way, I agree with your opinion to a certain degree, but I agree with buhubs's a bit more. I think the dynamic between Homestar and Strong Bad was pretty humorous a few years ago, and I hope The Brothers Chaps get back to something like that soon. But I don't really care that much. I'm not going to analyse the humor any further. |

Personally, I don't understand this fascination with Homestar's hremails. Why does Homestar have to have an e-mail show? That's what's tired and old-hat more than who is hosting it. Some people just got tired of strong bad e-mails because they come to the site every week for the past 7 years or whatever. I personally, really don't see how hremails could last as long as sbemails. Homestar can rarely make any sense, so hremails are just a bombardment of nonsense for the most part. Homestar can always have regular toons where he does this and not adhere or "steal" from the sbemail formula to do that. I think Homestar is hilarious. But it was Strong Bad e-mail that kept me coming back from the get-go. I don't think they need to stop, all they have to do really is just not make as many sbemails as they used to and put out more toons/shorts/games, whatever. |

While I think the OP goes a little far, there is some truth to it. As you could see by the Sbemailiarized Entertainment bit, the Brothers Strong themselves seem a little annoyed by how Strong Bad has completely taken over the show from Strong Bad, and that there's not as great a reception to the more Homestar-centric version of the site that (until last week) we'd been dealing with for all of 2009. They tried to make the point that all the cartoons are the same, but that Sbemails just have a wrap-around of Strong Bad on them. But you need that, to give it some context and make it relatable. While Strong Bad (and, yes, Strong Sad too) aren't the only interesting multi-faceted character, they are one of the only ones who appear normal and intelligible enough to have as a central character and as our eyes through this strange world. Homestar's just too stupid to provide interesting and entertaining commentary on things, nothing he can ever say or do would be remotely indentifiable to a human. The same is true of Strong Mad, King of Town, Homsar, Bubs and Coach Z (though he's got plenty of facets, they're all way too exaggerated for him to work.) The Cheat and Pom-Pom are probably intelligent and aware of the ridiculousness of the world around them enough to work, but they don't speak English so they're out. The Poopsmith, obviously, also doesn't speak and, let's face it, is barely a main character anymore. Marzipan would also work, but she lacks the popularity. It really is down to Strong Bad and Strong Sad. When they talk, we always understand them and understand what they're talking about, even if they're being ridiculous. They're both intelligent (for this world) and knowledgeable about pop culture and the basic rules of reality, so they can comment and satirize things effectively. Homestar doesn't have that capability. He's the "wacky stupid guy." In sitcom terms he'd be the Cosmo Kramer or Joey Tribbiani, and they just doesn't work as a main character and when you try to make him one, it just turns the whole thing into some mindless surreal experience that is far less entertaining. He's been second lead on this show for years (Strong Sad may have the ability to be a main character, but they don't utilize him as such, and I'm cool with that) and it's worked because though he's a terrible main character, he's a fantastic foil for the main character. |

Homestar's usual schtick is to say kind of random, often pointless things in his slightly retarded voice and misunderstand what's going on and how to properly behave in society entirely. That's who he is, and that's what he does best. I don't think he should do anything else, and in order to be a good e-mail checker in the vein that Strong Bad was, he'd have to. As for those complaining that Sbemails had become worn out... has 2009, the year (until late) without Sbemails really been the Homestar Runner renaissance you were hoping for? I'm guessing not. A lack of sbemails seems to sort of make the site aimless. You never know when another update is coming, and I really think the updates have, largely, not been any better. People complain about the lack of big toons, and I agree there should have been more and the site shouldn't be all Strong Bad E-mails, but Big Toons are really only couple of minutes longer, and, even without Sbemails, they come far rarer than Sbemails did. Sbemails were like semi-weekly, and you got other random stuff spliced in between. This year we were lucky to get a couple updates a month. |
