Homestar Runner Wiki Forum

Another tiny detail that makes me laugh is the sound effect used in "rampage" when Homestar hits himself on the head with the gavel. It's so cartoony, even for Homestar Runner, that it's funny.

For some reason, I also like when Strong Bad calls Strong Sad "Dairy Queen" in Bug in Mouth Disease and Strong Sad says "I told you, I don't wanna be called that anymore! I made a mistake!" That one just leaves itself open for the imagination.

I've been re-watching a lot of H*R lately, and one of my favorite tiny laughs is the name "Killingyouguy". How did anyone ever manage to forget that was so funny?

_________________

Killingyouguy is a funny name. I also like how Tompkins' shirt says "TRUK" in the Easter egg from TGS Issue 8. I'm just thinking of various things one by one.

_________________

This is actually my favorite part about the site. Those little things that happen so quickly a casual viewer might not see 'em.

- The "monument" statue plan
- The post-it noted bullet holes on Killingyouguy
- Half eaten pop-tart for "something" in Senor Cardgage's Mortgage
- "Vera Low Prices" and "Doe Not Want" from seniorial day
- "Aw c'mon prinicpal Strong Bad!"

I can't think of any more off the top of my head.

Speaking og Killingyouguy, I liked how durring the credit montage you saw the Cheat painting him black. They couldn't have jsut put him in shadow. Heh heh.

How just about everything in that one e-mail was labeled "Great for Baby!"
And the Eh! Steve esater egg in kids' book (Before it's edited.)
"Some people are named Eh! Steve. Eh! Steve is not really a person." And the "TOMPKINS MADE A SWEAR!"

The Thnikkaman! I love that guy. He's the bomb. Here hangs up the Thnikkaman!!

Once thing that was good for a small, quiet laugh the first time I saw it was in "secret recipes," how when Coach Z through the "bounce thing" into the air, it actually landed far in the background.


What are these things? Some bounce things?

I liked how the Floppy Disk Drive had Ghengis Khan in it in lady...ing. It made me crack up.

Coach Z: (sadly) I'm mispronouncing sports...

That... that was great. And I forgot my favorite in-toon "little thing that makes me laugh." In modeling when Strong Sad pats his stomach and it makes the sound of a basketball bouncing. Makes me laugh everytime.

Now prepare to experience the fury of.... our gift shop!

"Please leave your valuables under your seat, and exit to your right."

Ooh. Also on the commentary for Virus "That is not my leg, that looks like a shot gun." Is funny how Homestar says that.

"I don't lets the Poopsmith near it." on the KOT's Good Gravy.

When was that? I can't find it on the Wiki... maybe I'm not trying hard enough.

I'm having a hard time figuring out where that is from as well.

Are we missing something?

_________________

"Prinicpal Strong Bad" from TGS 8 (I think) is another that comes to mind. Things like Easter Eggs or the Thnikkaman don't count, because they're way out in the open and are the focal point of what's going on. What I think we're talking about here are the tiny background details, like "guy wouldn't know art if it jumped up and bit him" and Coach Z quickly hollering "that happened once!"

Y'know, things you probably wouldn't notice unless you knew they were there or just happen to be extra perceptive to details.

Ech, knew someone would mention it before me...

Fave moment would be that and "Date with a wall" sketch. Very entertaining viewing it was...

When Marshie gets a toenail caught in his throat while he's doing the Malloween Commercial... that one always gets me. Also, pretty much ANY tiny detail that involves the PBTC cartoons, especially the tone in which PBTC Homestar says, "OK! Hot soup is on my eye."

Coincidental unrelated hilarious tiny moment: While I was watching Senor Cardgage Mortgage again a few minutes ago, an evil IE popup window for finding great mortgage rates in NJ came up right near the beginning at a perfect interval, which had me cracking up. Yeah, don't ask why I still have IE on my compy.

Oh yeah, the balding man's sigh and expression from Mortgage toons is another tiny detail I crack up over.

TGS tends to be full of weird moments like that. Cheerleader with the cigar, hat, glasses, and mustache for about a second and a half is another good one. Also in the third one when Whats Her Face gets hit with the bat and So and So says "She got hurt", but the speech bubble is "Thomas hit her with a bat."

I don't know if the Wiki mentions this one, but the first TGS has my favorite "little moment" because if you aren't paying attention it'll happen without you realizing it. After "VOIP!" and Cheerleader says "Kristen looks burnt, or dead", there's Whats Her Face saying "I miss Kris.. tin... a." The hesitation coupled with the fact that she's saying the wrong name gets me every time.

The Sneak theme song video also has a buttload of such things. "Not the Panama Canal" springs to mind.

Yeah, that was hilarious. It shows that Strong Bad obviously didn't remember their names, but didn't care.

It's on the commentary for 'Part-time Job'. Jorb. Heh.

Yeah, that is super great. It reminds me of the noise Snoopy makes when he's displeased.

Oh. Thought of another one. Compa. Makes me crack up. Weird written things or sentences that don't quite make sense or are worded weird always get me.

Strong bad: Wouldent know Magesty if it bit you in the face...

I'm saying that all the time now....awesome

Red stelked Elbermung: NO-NO NO

And, In rock oprea when the cold one gets strongbads mouth O.o

THERE we go.

I think the labels in the toons are always a source of hilarity. Things like "Gloo Stick" in TGS9 or "Food", "Water", and "Eww." in Strong Bad in Jail, as well as the "Jack Hamma", "Some savings" on a bag.

The page titles. They crack me up at times.

A ton of little details in the sbemail "little questions." The music, the diacritical marks, Strong Bad's translation of his name meaning "Strong Not Good" or "Strong Poor Quality," etc.

Tom Servo's sillhoette in "A Jorb Well Done."

I thought of another one I loved the other day, but I forgot... there's just so many of them. I love all the subtleties of H*R.


Loved that, too.
