I think Trogdor is overrated.

Dragon's not overrated, it's just most people's first HR toon, so it's sentimental for them. Also, people love the character way more than the toon.

I would have to say:
Overrated: dragon. It was great the first time I watched it. But now...I just don't know.
Underrated: mascot, by far. And also for kids. :homsar:

is hilarious in that one.

Most overated: Dragon. I mean, it's funny, but it's really just a cartoon where Sb draws a poorly drawn dragon

Underated: Trevor the Vampire. It's Hilarious! Plus it has a lot of mystery to it, like, what actually happened to Trevor? Why did he stop writing? Was he really a vampire? It also has the only real swearing on the site. And it's awesome.

Overrated:
dragon
guitar
caffiene
tape-leg: Yes, I think tape-leg is overrated, not as a good email, but as a BAD one. It always gets the reputation of "worst email ever," enough to inspire a running gag, but there are worse ones, like lady...ing.

Underrated:
other days
isp

I had all of isp memorized once. What was I supposed to watch for those eight weeks?

Underrated: trevor the vampire
Maybe this is just me, but I find this email to be entirely hilarious. TBC take the vampire thing plus the abrupt ending of the email, and they just run with it.

Overrated: the movies
I'll admit I'm a little hesitant on this one, because "the movies" did have a few amusing spots. But this is about the time that Strong Bad emails became increasingly an avenue for parodying a particular facet of pop culture, and as a whole, the parodies seldom strike me as especially original. "the movies" is especially reminiscent of a hundred other stand-up comedy routines about the movie-going experience, and as a result it just wasn't as funny as I'd come to expect from a SBEmail.

I'm just gonna go ahead and add that I don't think "dragon" was overrated. It's not just Strong Bad drawing a crappy dragon! It is also Strong Mad carving the word "DAGRON" into a table, and a heavy metal song about a crappily-drawn dragon terrorizing the kingdom!

Dragon is excruciatingly overrated. Except for Homsar's small part, it's not even all that funny.

I'd say the most underrated one was Trevor the Vampire. It was the first really bizarre e-mail he did.

iand93 · **Posted:** Sun Sep 30, 2007 7:37 pm

I agree with...umm...a lot of people. "Dragon" is pretty overrated. It's a good introduction to the site but it's not real big in the humor department.

For underrated, I'm gonna have to go with "Sibbie." So many classic moments and possibly my favorite email.

Underrated: Car. Definitely.

Overrated: Trading Cards.

da_cheese · **Posted:** Tue Mar 04, 2008 10:52 pm

Dragon is WAYYYYYYYYY over rated.

I think Rock Opera is underrated. In fact its my favourite email

KookyKoopa12 · **Posted:** Wed Mar 05, 2008 2:54 am

Overrated: dragon. That e-mail, even though it introduced everybody's favorite burninating dragon, didn't kick off that well for me.

Underrated: funny. When I first watched that, I was rolling on the floor, I was cracking up so hard. Especially when he was bouncing on his head.

Overrated: Dragon. Don't get me wrong. I love :trogdor:

and everything related to him, but everybody keeps discussing it's the best email of all!

Underrated: Candy Product. Nobody talks too much about this email lately.
:sb:

You got SBLOUNSKCHED!
Crazy Cartoon: I hear people saying they don't like the show and characters Strong Bad made in this toon. I like the email still and Eh! Steve was awesome!

:ehsteve:

Eh! Steve!

Bad Graphics Ghost · **Posted:** Wed Nov 18, 2009 4:06 pm

Overrated: Definitely "crying". It was probably the only Compy-era email that I didn't even crack a smile at. How it remained so popular, enough to warrant a spot on the 50 Greatest Hits DVD, is beyond me.

Underrated: I'm actually going to go out on a limb here and say "flag day". It's always been one of my favorites, and I think it's definitely overlooked (along with a lot of the other Tandy-era emails) when people talk about the sbemails in general.

lesse

i agree with dragon being overated
i also think yes, wrestling and your edge are quite overated too
i didnt really like either of them
nor did i like email thunder, i think its overated as well

now for the underated
little animal
duck pond (probably my favorite tandy e-mail)
slumber party
funny
the facts

those are just some, there are more imo

Hmm, funny seems to be a really divisive email: people either love it or hate it. So those who love it tend to find it underrated, whereas those who don't like it (including myself) find it overrated.

i've noticed that as well

its kinda like napoleon dynamite (best movie ever)

The most overrated: Email Thunder. I hated it, but it seems as if everyone else loves it.
The most underrated: Looking Old.

movie magic man · **Posted:** Sun Nov 29, 2009 11:06 pm

Overrated: Email Thunder.
It was good, but not great. It gets all the hype just for being the 200th email.

Underrated: Super Powers.
After watching every sbemail about three years ago, I completley forgot about that one. Even after joining here I didnt remember it. One day I clicked the "random page" button on the wiki. I got the page for Super Powers. I couldn't remember it and so watched it. It is a great email, with awexome quotes, but it never is talked about.

I've already done mine but I have to say, so far the only response on Email Thunder I've seen has been negative. I'm pretty sure that does not make it overrated

The Rocoulm · **Posted:** Fri Jan 15, 2010 7:16 am

Oh Simone!

Overrated: Email Thunder

It wasn't even near as memorable or awesome as the other "big" emails (50,100,150).

Underrated: Bottom 10

I'm just putting one because loves them all. Though I have to say that I don't think "Dragon" is overrated at all. I think it's hilarious. "That looks good there, coming out of the back of his neck like that."

Rumo · **Posted:** Thu Jan 28, 2010 7:53 am

Rock opera is a brilliant email, totally underrated.
Dragon, it used to be cool guys. Overrated

Oh, and another underrated, tape-leg. I find it to be a good e-mail.
