It's not that they're Strong Bad jokes per-say, but with two email show written by the same person, some of one's style is going to go into the other. Rather than some of the lines being things Strong Bad could actually say, they are the kinds of things that the Chapmans would say THROUGH Strong Bad. It's only natural that they do the same through their current email avatar, Homestar. Homestar has also shown how he can reach territory Strong Bad can't, i.e. he has a girlfriend and can directly relate to the viewer about it, where as Strong Bad would just either have to skip over that element of humor entirely, or BS about his "super hawt girlfriend who was kidnapped by a two-headed Snaggle-toothed Ogre". There is also the personality of the Email Avatar that can allow for great humor variation. Stuff like the "cow clips" are something that only Homestar could birth. Strong Bad would be mainly limited to not knowing what they are called. That is the beauty of hremails. They open new humor territory, which is one of the things I enjoy most about them so far. Not that they are all stellar. The first one was mixed. But it was already funnier than the first SBEmails and some of the modern SBEmails. This one really shows what potential the series could have if it is continued. Though I also want is some more Answering Machines. I would be intrigued to see Strong Bad try to return to emails, though at this point I would allow him to retire, if only so he could go out only slightly beyond his peek so that he may be fondly remembered. I think the death of both papers could be sign towards his end. But alas, it is entirely possible that next Monday Strong Bad will return and Homestar will have a premature retirement. Perhaps, however, Hremails will reach number 200(In amount, not necessarily in number), and Homestar will pass the torch along to someone else.

Homestar, I'm gonna give you two more chances. If you don't make me laugh like I did for Strong Bad, I'm giving up on hremails & wait for sbemails to come back.

No, you're not. You can honestly tell me that if after two more you're not rolling on the floor you would refuse to watch if they released another?

Everyone needs to stop being so melodramatic and just relax about sbemails, or trogdor, or whatever else they think they NEED to have in order to be happy. Why can't you just enjoy the site and and stop being so uptight or whiny about what you think the site has to have to keep you happy. They've treated us pretty good for the past 10 years no?

As wise Shawn said earlier: "Sbemails, Hremails.... it's all H*R cartoon fun, I can't complain."

I was really refering to relitive Strong Bad likeness. As compaired to last weeks, also an email show written by the same people, which didin't have any of these moments. Really in this one only the opening, cow clips, puppet show, and the basketball part are truely homestar. though the puppet show and basketball part could have been asides in the sbemail vesion.

You mean more than half the hremail?

Man, it isn't long now before Strong Bad goes the way of retirement parts A and B and Homestar takes over. That, and rubber bands DO hold shoes together better than paper clips, but cow clips are better. :hr:

Moo!

Not too bad. I'm still laughing about the :hr:

"my girlfriend thinks" part. :sb:

I can't be the only one who sees that similarity.

Totally! It wasn't my first thought, but now I can't imagine why it wasn't!

I'm personally liking these...

I hope to see it reach at least 25 HRemails so that it feels more complete, and since there are 200 SBemails (on the site, more than 200 counting what's on the DVDs) we can't complain that we didn't get enough Strong Bad.

Homestar, I feel, quickly became an underappreciated character in my book, especially when the SBemails took off. But the time of the SBemail apparently has come to an end, and the Homestar Runner looks like he is finally able to have his time to shine.

I hope to, in the future, see more SBemails again though, since I feel that with some time, TBC can actually write some more great ones, and feel less rushed on them so that they can spend more time polishing them to a streak free shine. I'd like to see at least 50 more happen, but I can't say I'm not happy with the 200 on the site, and I definitely can't say I'm not excited to see the future.

Now an actual comment pertaining to the clip:

Size Strong Mad? Yep, that's a big shoe.

"You mean the whole last season was a dream?!" line makes me think. Does some of you think that this might be a Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy radio series reference, in which the whole second series is actually a dream?

No, that's a reference to Dallas.

So the hremails don't even count as toons or shorts I'm guessing since they aren't listed as such on the site. They're like one-shots or something eh? I am assuming.

MODIFIED REVIEW!

Ok, the Shadow Homestar fight grew on me, & so did the "my girlfriend thinks" part. Though, it still didn't become sbemail awesome. So, I'll give hremail 2000....

I'll bombard HOMESTAR with the same email over and over again. Who's with me? Anti-Deleteheads? Anyone?

Naah. It's like a side project for them, really. I think it'll end up being sort of like TGS or Marzipan's Answering Machine: Something they do occasionally to make fans happy. Though I'll admit, for me, the best part of this hremail was

STROOOOOOOONG BAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!

making a triumphant return in Strong Sad's soolnd-belts. For that reason, and the puppet show, and Marzi's cameo (she needs more attention, IMHO) I give this a 4 out of 5.

To the new Anti-Deletehead: He doesn't type anymore. PERIOD. I was gonna ask that same gender swap question.

When I first watched it, I could've sworn he had said "Now you see those two little words "my girlfriend thinks"? There's your problem right there!" But that only made it funnier. All in all, 4/5. Good job.

Ever since my family saw this, we've been calling them cow clips, too! Moo! :hr:
