http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail187.html Wiki link: http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/winter_pool Not bad at all, but for some reason I really want some red Jello now. 3 1/2 stars. |

The Fluffy Puff Jell-O commercial, Homestar mentioning oiled-up Bill Cosby and another instance the King of Town's gross eating habits all made me lose it. This was a hilarious, solid email. |

It probably has to do with Bubs' arms having more bendiness, which I believe started in "nightlife". They don't bend like a joint at the elbows anymore, but instead form smooth curves. |

Pretty funny, though like several other posters, I want red Jell-o. Coach Z is less creepy this week. |

Mmm, red-flavored Jell-o... nothing says comedy like filling a swimming pool with substances that aren't water! Gelatin dessert, pudding, money, drunken frat boys... I imagine Strong Bad is a little more than embarrassed that the King of Town had to save him, though. And Coach Z seems to have traded in his delusional schizophrenia for the paranoid kind. "I knew I shouldn't have flashed my brights at that hoopty full of gangsters!" |

Hm, apparently, the show Caleb Rentpayer is still going (or maybe that was an previously unmentioned rerun?), and the Lappy's environment-safe energy source was only temporary. |

Bwahahah. I loved the part with Marshie. Not only was it continuity (sorta), but they managed to make Marshie even creepier. I didn't think that was possible. I also liked how they found a way to put the King of Town's gluttony to good use. |

"I'm coming to your house after school!" That, the Poopsmith's shovel actually being useful, Bill Cosby, and the KoT made this a 5/5. |

Needlessly Creepy X 17 Too true, too true. Marshie creepier than ever translucent with visible brain. Nobody's mentioned the Nebulon cameo, always fun too see (despite what PBTC SB says). Coach Z spouting off Urban legends was funny... And of course the ladies' favorite Pom Pom!! SO yep A+! |

Omg, that's great! The NC-17 was oh so true (because Marshie was far creepier than usual). I LOVED the "red-anjello" joke-classic. But poor . Will he ever come dowwwwnnnnn??? 1/2 out of

That e-mail was pretty good; definitely one of my favorites. It's always good seeing the King of Town as an odd hero. Marshie's appearance, Homestar's somewhat-creepiness, and Pom Pom floating into outer space (with Nebulon!) also made this e-mail great. Overall, a solid e-mail. 4/5. |

Never cared for Marshie, and in this one he was particularly odd ... The rest of the 'toon had its moments, though: Coach Z spouting off urban legends (and Bubs getting fed up with him), Poor (And another Nebulon cameo!), and Poopsmith's "Eat a Lot of Food Alert" button.And did anyone else find it interesting that it jumped straight from Homestar talking about Bill Cosby to a conversation with Bubs, who at times seems to have a bit of Bill Cosby in him? Or am I just nuts? (OK. I'm nuts ...) |

And the Poopsmith's in there. I see that the rules have changed since Pom Pom started lifeguarding the 'ool. |

"My talents are needed!" It's always fun when completely whacked-out stuff happens in this cartoon. Kind of short, though. |

I agree with the consensus: this one is a winner. I could mention all the specific jokes that I thought were particularly funny (Pom Pom: he's in space!), but I think this SBEmail owes much of its success to the overall premise. You can't go wrong with a swimming pool full of J-E-L-L-O. |

That was the impression I got ... When he first started drinking the Jello, I thought he was simply going to eat all of the stuff around them, but then why would he tell them to close their eyes (and say it wasn't going to be pretty)? And then to hear SB describe the experience ... Um ... Yeah ... |
