I liked it. The best part was definitely the flush twice gag, although Coach Z's thong gave me the jibblies. :eek:

Hey miyomiyo1050 I like your rating system, where 1 or 2 is still good, unlike when people who put 7/10 as the minimum and 10/10 as the max.

When watching toons alone I rarely laugh, but "You-REEK-a!" had me laughing pretty hard. The rest was sort of an average email, and Coach Z's thong, I agree, was quite disturbing!

Hey Revenge of the B., I got the plastic diver guy bit too!

I didn't really care for the DNA evidence thing...running gags/reference jokes are not my thing, preferenced to jokes that anyone who hadn't previously watched Homestar Runner would understand.
2 emails to go!

I liked the YouReek-A T-shirts. This email was pretty good, but there weren't many really funny parts.

Okay, am I the only one who wasn't disturbed by the thong, the buttcrack, or the black secretions? I guess I'm pretty desensitized... I thought those jokes were hilarious! Didn't even make me cringe.

Sooooo..... is Coach Z part octopus?

EDIT: Woo 50th post woo.

That was pretty good.

AHHHH!!! Today kept feeling like a thursday or friday. My first reaction to seeing a new sbemail was, "Woah! A new sbemail on a Thursday, WOW!" Then, AFTER I watched it, I was like, "Oh wait, its Monday. Oh NO, its Monday."

Interesting thought. Coach Z just gets creepier and creepier; I personally can't remember the last time his presence didn't give me the jibblies. Atleast you can laugh at Marshie's creepiness.
How was it that Strong Mad knew what had happened when Coach Z took the 'item' off, though? Does this mean that those suppossed sound-effects are actually the background noises of Free Country USA?

Eh. Didn't really make me laugh or smile. I don't know why, but this one just fell really flat for me.

An interesting mix of reactions here. I personally thought it was the best one in a while. The black stuff was the best part. No wait, the cilantro was. No wait, the emo CD was. No wait. A-.

Well, it's not so much that it's not a kiddie toon as that it doesn't shy away from poop jokes and other forms of gross-out humor. Frankly, I was turned off by the nastiness gags in this email...not because I found them morally objectionable or even offensive/disgusting, but just because gross does not necessarily equate to funny.
Strong Mad's buttcrack? By all means a surprise. Perhaps mildly amusing. But certainly not hilarious. Reckon I'd give this email a 4/7.

Yeah, that email was amusing, but all the creepy gross stuff ("We're going to need you to flush twice!", Strong Mad's butt-crack, Coach Z's inky black secretions and weird taste in bathing suits) made it feel kinda off. Here's hoping they go easy on that stuff next time.

I totally agree with you. One of the reasons I like Homestarrunner.com is the fact that you usually don't find that stuff there. And DeathbyChiasmus has a point: Gross does not neccecarilly mean funney.
3/10

Do I sense a 'You Reek-A' shirt coming? Let's hope so.

Perhaps the stuff radiating from Coach Z IS the DNA evidence. :)

I notice my suggestion that the "Stink's Reach" ad in the egg is a reference to the show "Twin Peaks" due to its similar theme music, storyline, usage of a town buildboad sign as its logo, and slightly rhyming name was removed from the Real World References page. Does no one else see this as a "TP" reference?

Epic shirt is epic.

If I ever get a chance to buy it, I will.

Not to mention the mountains in the background. Yeah, Twin Peaks was also the first thing I thought of when I saw that. But getting a ref to stick on the wiki's very hit or miss. It's pretty arbitrary. Don't take its removal personally. It's just the inscrutable way the wiki works.

Is it just me, or has :sm: been absent from any recent toons/emails?

Anyway, great email, although the subjects are definitely getting more random. I loved the :coachz: scene. I'm not gonna ask wtpf that black stuff was...

I'll give it... a :senor:.

I see now that someone says that the condiment writing is a "Napolian Dynamite" ref. Now that one I'd call a stretch.:) At least my NOVA post seems solid. Speaking of which, thank you to whoever fixed the wiki/NOVA link. I kept trying to get it to point to 'NOVA (TV Series)' but it just wouldn't do it for some reason.

I'm surprised no one has suggested a connection between the doubly-missing DNA evidence and the initially-present-but-now-gone mention of child abuse... Does anyone still have a copy of the flash file that included the child abuse line? Was it clickable?

Maybe the Brothers Chaps had a change of plans, didn't like where they were going with the DNA evidence, and pulled it. Still, I wonder what they were planning with the child abuse line...

No, I just think they didn't want to mention the topic of child abuse. Like, they originally included it, but then thought better of it and changed their minds.

"Ow! Pointy!" :mrgreen:

I liked this one, but something about it felt... unfinished. I don't know what, it just didn't quite satisfy me like so many past SBemails.

Actually, both octopi and squid have ink sacs.

I think those were kind of my feelings too. Something's a bit empty about it.

A sbemail just isn't a sbemail without DNA evidence. It was sort of funny, but a little bit empty.
