Everybody talks about which one they hate of the first five, some kinda robot, homsar, butt IQ, etc. but the answer to that is usually "That was their early style, and it sucked."

Well, it did. But my question is, what was the worst e-mail of the first five made? This would count:

Some kinda robot, homsar, butt IQ, homestar hair and making out.

Choose wisely! The poll will be open indefinitely. If possible, supply a comment with your vote.

My pick: butt IQ. What was the whole idea behind that? Why would they have picked that e-mail? I thought it was dumb and rather unoriginal.

My favorite: Either some kinda robot or homsar. Some kinda robot started it all, and homsar started my favorite character! :homsar:

I think homestar hair sucked. It just wasn't funny.

I didn't like butt IQ, it just didn't appeal to me.

The first five emails, in order of preference, starting with the worst (most disliked):

  1. homestar hair
  2. butt IQ
  3. making out
  4. some kinda robot
  5. homsar


homestar hair had no humour in it at all! butt IQ was alright, but not that funny. You gotta love homsar, it was just so surprising to see this freaky little fellow when expecting Homestar.

they had to start somewhere, I guess. If "long pants" was the first email - that'd be crazy

and I like the "homsar" one still

Early SB emails were much shorter and usually, Strong Bad didn't do anything but reading and answering emails. So, they were pretty stupid.

"butt IQ" was the worst.

"homsar" however, is my favorite from the first 5. Very short, but I like the fact that they wasted time, creating completely NEW character because the sender misspelled Homestar's name.

Well, this is the way I see it.
Some Kinda Robot was funny. It was the first e-mail, and started the whole boxing glove contreversy.

Homsar was great because it created everyone's favorite blue midget Homestar, Homsar

Butt IQ wasn't too great, but had some funny moments, like the Tandy version of Homestar.

Homestar Hair is good because it introduced DELETED! (under the name of 'delete this crap')

Making out was ok. Strong Bad's song and the parody of the Dear Abby thing was funny. Points for the KOT joke as well.


I guess out if these five I'd have to say Butt IQ was the not best. But I love all the E-mails, so I'm grading on a curve.

I didn't like "Making Out" because it wasn't very funny, but I thought "Homsar" was pretty creative.

The worst IMO is some kinda robot. Heck, I think it's the worst e-mail in general! Yes, I know that was the first one, but that doesn't stop it from sucking.

I like the early e-mails. (No, not just because InterruptorJones does.:)) I like all the e-mails. Well, except "current status".

Things don't have to be long to be funny.

I was looking at those rather recently and noticed what I've missed out on. Can't say they're much better than they are these days, but yet I felt those were quite good. Contrary to the rest of you I liked Butt IQ. Thought it's quite clever, especially for lack of visual aids. Fav part of homestar hair is the way SB says "AWW MAN!!!" in that super cheezed off manner. My least fav of those is prob "making out" since it was just mediocre.

I definitely think that Butt IQ was the worst of the choices, but there were some others not on the list that I didn't like.

Tape Leg comes to mind, as does Brianrietta.

I was actually going to put as an option, "FORGET THE FIRST 5 EMAILS! I CHOOSE TAPE-LEG!" but I thought that would get too many votes and mess up the poll.
I actually liked some of the earlier e-mails, like halloweener, " :hr:: I'm a bell!" or trevor the vampire. " :sb:: And what? And here's a million dollars?"

Homestar Hair is just a sad example of them having to answer EVERY SINGLE EMAIL.

Homestar Hair was just a waste of an email. At least all the other ones had a point, y'know?

And by the by, it DIDN'T have a point.....If you didn't realize.

Butt IQ. Though, the "not so interesting-ness" of them was probably due to the fact that they didn't really as many e-mails to choose from then. You know, because they didn't get as many. Or whatever.

I thought homestar hair was just stupid, and that's why it was remotely funny, but I think butt IQ was just stupid.

I voted for Butt IQ. I liked the Homsar email, but I didn't find the others very funny.

Close, but not right. As I said before, they said they were going to have Strong Bad answer every single email sent to him originally. That's why some of them aren't funny.

Yes MK5 dude! Down with Homsar! I completely agree. Although I feel Homsar is the worst email for having spawned Homsar, as just the emails, I think Homestar Hair is the worse because it is just like nothing.
