Why doesn't anybody like this? I was ROTF all over the place when I saw this.
I guess you can't please some people.

A music video that was pretty much unlistenable, and not funny. Also, missing that trademark "Powered by the Cheat" feel. Nope, this one was a dud. |

It was kinda good. Could've been better but it's not all that bad. The style seems like it is hit-or-miss though for most viewers, since it's pretty unstandard for HSR from what I've seen. It shouldn't have been PBTC though. It just doesn't work. |

Not the best timing for a song about french fries... |

I feel the song might have been much better without the guitar break in the middle. The video itself didn't really have an effect on me. 3/5 |

WOW. Freakin' terrible. I was up at 6 AM for THIS?!?! I was hoping SB'd answer my email this week. Aw... now i have to wait at least 7 more days for sbemail205 to come out. before anyone tells me to stop complaining that it isn't an email, that's not the main reason. it's cuz i REALLY hate Powered by the cheat, aside from "Drown in the Trudgemank" |

I had to raise my 'The Animated Adventures of Puppet Homestar' rating from 2 to 3 in order to give it a 1!!!!!!! Worst toon ever! |

Wow, most people Uh Most people sure do have an opinion! Anyway, I usually don't like Strong Bad, but, maybe it's because of the contrast between him and most of the song; maybe it's because of the Haddi-Man references... Eh, it's probably because of the Strong Bad in the style of those kids' heads. I give it a 3. I wanted a new Hremail. I wanted a new Hremail. Hmm... |

WTPF!? So.. freakin'.... weird. Unicorns? Heavy Metal French Fry break? Davey? This makes Trudgemank seem normal. Strong Bad's "commentary" was the only thing that saved this. 2.5/5 |

Crazy middle section and TMBG coming back for an encore: Good! The fact that it felt too much like a filler: Not so good! 3.5/5 |

Haha. This toon was all over the place. It was so random and messed up that it reminded me of a well-put-together-spam entry on Newgrounds. (seriously, they do stuff like that all the time, reuse old images, replace the heads or body parts with other random images, crazy, random, etc.) Only difference is that this was clean rather than profane. I dug this way more than last weeks "toon", anyways. I can see why someone wouldn't like this cartoon since the "Flash Artist" humor used is rather obscure, but it's great if you know what it's about. Strong Bad's commentary was great, also. Friends and a cool story. 4/5. |

I just hope all the confused people understand TMBG's relationship with the site, and where the song came from. We had enough trouble explaining the awesome but apparently "gay" email thunder intro. Roll my eyes. Anyways, like many others, I was a bit weirded out. But then I actually tried that "watching it a second time" thing you guys are always talking about, and it worked! I found it much more enjoyable. I give it a solid 4/5. |

Not great, but I didn't think it was all that bad. I liked the return of the concept of "whaddya know, haddi man?", and the metal thing was pretty cool. The only thing was the fact that it was about french fries. That lost me completely. I just don't see why it's funny to sing about foodstuffs. And unicorns? Wierd, but not as good as it could have been. |

That was incredibly stupid. It would've been funny if Strong Bad hadn't attacked the folk singer with violent metal music. |

I rather liked it, I don't typically enjoy Powered By The Cheat videos, but this one was funny. It was so random though, that I was surprised that  wasn't in it. We haven't really seen much of him lately...3/5 |

Well this song got stuck in my head faster than usual. Except I keep on forgetting about the "squeedley guitar" parts |

It isn't exactly PbtC, and the sound quality could have been better, but apart from that I like it. In particular, I found the return of the "Now you can count to 3" guy pretty cool. 4'd |

Really found this one funny for some reason.. mainly Strong Bad's reactions. The Guitarist REALLY had it coming. |

Why are PbTC toons always music videos now? The classic Mike-voiced ones were 5s in my book - alas, this is only a 4. |

I thought it was great. The song was neat, the animation was weird, and I loved that they reused all the stuff from 'For Kids'. That was one of my favorite emails of all time. I laughed through most of this one. |

I really liked it. 5, most people seem to be going for 3, but for me it was great. But I also wonder why PBTC are always music videos now. |

They just keep ramping up the "What the heck did I just watch" factor. |
