It had something diffrent about it...

Like a new type of email breed that I just can't put my finger on...

Anyone else feel that way?

One of the best recent ones, definitely better than pop-up book.

I loved the cartoon panels.

It DID feel different...A lot less typing, first of all. Not as many inside references, and I feel it may be the birth of Homestar Tweezersize videos.

I personally loved it! I really liked the PYROTECHINCS part!

I wanted to laugh throughout the whole thing, but I couldn't. Something just doesn't seem right. It's like individually the jokes and gags are ok, but they just don't piece together. Think about pizza and chocolate.

One example of a mismatch is the Marzipan scene. Strong Bad setting things ablaze calls for one of his sharp comebacks, not him screaming at the top of his lungs.

In addition to the jokes not fitting together, the scenes just don't seem to add up. It jumps from one concept to the next with very little to do with the one before.

Basicly, this email shows a lack of comedic focus in my opinion. But, that's all this is, one man's opinion. I could be wrong.

Eh. The only thing I really laughed at was the "Loose Weight" deal.

5/5

I liked this one. I really hate soap opera comics, so this made me laugh. The thing with the turtle was in reference to the sunday edition of the nature soap opera comic "mark trail".

No dumb rating scale for me!

1. The intro song was funny
2. I think they reused the scene from "Where the crap did I leave Strong Sad"
3. PROTECHNICS!!! (need to check the spelling on that one... later)
4. OH NO!! The paper was replaced... for the moment
5. Ummmm the email does not appear on my computer sbemail list...why?

Power Crunch · **Posted:** Mon Mar 06, 2006 10:29 pm

It was ok. I've seen better. Didn't like the bit with Marzipan much, although... another BMW lighter reference!! Otherwise, only ok.

we should do some kinda celebration in honor of thre BMW's 10th appearance.

I didn't really like it much. At all. The intro was okay, but all in al, it was a dissapointment this week.

I know what you mean. I loved it! You add Homestar being his random, annoying self, the cheat getting stuffed in the dryer, Strong Bad shown as patheticly out of shape, and PYROTECHNICS!, and you get a pretty good e-mail.

About the fifth one: It's probably because your computer stores information in a cache.

Well, twas okay. It didn't really excite me too much. The fluffy The Cheat was chucklish, but the comic strips and Homestar exercising were annoying. Plus, it seemed a bit like Lady... ing.

DorianGray · **Posted:** Tue Mar 07, 2006 1:11 am

Meh, I'm kinda neutral to this one... There are better emails, but there are certainly worse ones... This is one of those mid-rangers. Nothing particularly jumped out at me this time.

I'll go with you on this one. It was a funny as thinks go, but more of a heh, thats clever! sort of humor that doesn't neccesarily illicit laughter. I did however, love seeing the cheat in the dryer again.

Anyone notice how this is the second time in recent emails where they've gone back to use old scenes/gags (ie, cheat in the dryer, gnawing on something; the gym beamer)?

PYROTECHNICS!!! :trogdor:

van Helsing · **Posted:** Tue Mar 07, 2006 2:05 am

Not bad, not bad. The pyrotecnics thing made me laugh out loud, and Mary Worth and Judge Parker definetely deserve to be made fun of. rather short though. has anybody else noticed that were creeping dangerously close to the 150th sbemail?

Windee · **Posted:** Tue Mar 07, 2006 2:12 am

I liked little isolated parts of the email. The Cheat in the Dryer is always fun to see, and I secretly cackled at Marzipan getting torched (she did deserve it after 'snip-sniparooskies.)

What scares me is that last week I was doodling in my notebook during lecture and I came up with a Homestar wearing leg-warmers. ESP alert! :eek:

But other than that, no, I didn't really think it was very funny.

Beyond the Grave · **Posted:** Tue Mar 07, 2006 2:17 am

I digged the Cheat in the dryer. 7.5/10

Einoo T. Spork · **Posted:** Tue Mar 07, 2006 2:45 am

I loved the "soap opera strip" thing.

"SEA TURTLES EAT A WIDE VARIETY OF FOODS."

Also, Homestar was funny. Marzipan's "horse's tweez" comment was mildly amusing, as was "drop her like a Trig class" and most of the other stuffs.

And yes, the "Cheat in the dryer" thing was totally lifted from "2 years".

Spork · **Posted:** Tue Mar 07, 2006 3:16 am

The Cheat in the dryer? Awww. Girls really do like Fluffy The Cheat. AND we got to see Homestar wearing leg warmers.

7/10

That was okay. The Cheat in the Dryer and Marzipan scenes were the best parts. Plus the printer was seen again! All in all, not too bad, and one step closer to 150!

I'm with you on that regard. Yep, we're that much closer to the 150 mark! Won't be long now and #173 might just creep up on us. Oh, how I wish the montage prediction would simply vanish. The 'pseudocharacter' of whom I represent might as well be considered obsolete at this point. Nevertheless, I still confide in old technology. "Smell that purple ink!"

it was OK, but I miss homsar, when will he come back?

It was okay. I rate it 7/10. It's only getting this high of score because of fluffy The Cheat.

Kiki · **Posted:** Tue Mar 07, 2006 2:01 pm

I liked it. Not one of the best emails, but I had a good time watching it

Isn't the beat you hear while Homestar is dancing/working out from 'I think I have a chance with this guy'?
