Homestar Runner Wiki Forum

There are a lot I didn't like, the new ones like road trip and redesign were a little disappointing, I didn't like funny, I thought it was plain dumb. You guys are right about tape leg and homestar hair. I think you guys are wrong about narrator and radio being bad emails, I loved radio and narrator was okay. Radio was a fleshed out email with lots of social commentary and word humor, plus many easter eggs. It would have been better, I think, if Strong Bad didn't use people's boring lives in narrator but simply narrated something interesting. I think the ones that focus too much on secondary characters like Strong Sad and Homestar aren't that funny. One of which is car.

Did you just call Homestar a secondary character?

And yeah, narrator and radio were good emails. I especially liked narrator.

uh dude, I hate to say this but *ahem* homestar is the main character c'mon man isn't it obvious?


on topic: I didn't find boring or funny to be realted to the title. OK before you guys make fun of me i just want to say sometime me and homestar think alike. Ok here goes. Crying actually made me cray along with homestar. Li'l brudder, you keep scrapin' along!!! (obviously i like crying the email not the emotion)

MALE MODELING!

There, now don't you feel better?

Old Comics was terrible, the only funny thing in that email was the easter egg about the discovery of commas or whatever.



I've never really found myself not liking emails, in the newer one there's always that one joke that makes it memorable. Strong Badlathon had that PBTC animation (and tap-dancing Homestar), Part-Time Job had Strong Bad under Marzipan's kitchen table, etc.

I remember thinking all the early sbemails were hilarious when I first watched them, which was when I was 12 or 13. Brianrietta, Tapeleg, and The Basics are some of my favorites. As for the two latter sbemails mentioned, sometimes Strong Bad's resignation is funnier than an actual punchline. An example of some sbemais that I found funny when I first saw it (but don't think they're very funny now) are The Process, and Homsar. Although I love Homsar dearly for introducing the character of the same name, I feel that SB's last joke repeating the joke of the previous sbemail looses it points.

Sometimes the opposite happens: I see a sbemail, don't think it's funny, then watch it again and change my mind. An example of this is Strong Badathlon.

The fact of the matter is, all the sbemails are dear to me. If one isn't very funny, another of its qualities makes it endearing to me. This is why I can say, with clear conscience, I don't have a least favorite sbemail. They may not be my childrens, but I love them all!

I think it's a law you cannot say newbie to anyone when you have less than 50 posts, and have been here for less then 6 months. Really.

The worst is probably homestar hair

It's somewhat amazing to see how we all look at these so differently. "Property of Ones" is one of my all-time favorites (see my sig).

My least favorite is "Crying" because it introduced Li'l Brudder. I get the humor about him, know it's not intended to be mean, and I'm in no way upset with TBC for creating him or with anybody who likes him. But, anything sad about dogs is just a sensitive spot for me and I just can't stand to watch him.

Homestar Hair and tapeleg. It all goes up from there. I like Tapeleg, but not Homestar Hair. Never insult the audience.

I actually like the earlier emails rather than the latter emails. The email "gimmicks" shows my view well, in the earlier emails, SB answers the emails without needing gimmicks. The latter emails just had the gimmicks, and SB really didn't be that funny. The gimmicks were funny, but not SB.

Usually any topic involving whether it be in SBemail or Toons doesn't usually tickle my humor bone. I have to agree though, when it comes to the first email - some kind of robot - it really wasn't funny.

I gotta put my two cents and say Tapeleg, The Basics, and Lures & Jigs kick twelve million 's in the awesomeness way possible.



"Never insult the audience". Haha. Yeah, that's a good one.

I have to say, the emails just got better after Gimmicks. The Compy Era found it's witty corner quite well. Tandy was very hit and miss - mostly miss.

My least favorite email was theme party. Some of his ideas were kinda funny but his apathetic "Okay, see ya next week" just really ruined it for me. At least Tape leg and homestar hair actually had something fun to look at. Theme party was just him half heartedly typing a response.

I hate very many of the tandy e-mails, but the worst e-mail ever to me is mini-golf, mostly because it's so overrated.

“Road Trip” was an abomination. So many forced moments I wanted to chuck a full wine bottle at my computer screen when I first saw it, and a full wine bottle rack the next time.

“Dreamail” holds the distinction of being almost as horrible as “Road Trip.” It’s not that there were so many forced jokes, it’s that there were no jokes.

I really hated Boring. It was really, really boring. I also hated Crying. It just got really tedious after a while. Another one I hated was the Lady...ing one. Especially the Mongolian Aftershave Lotion joke.

I kinda liked the Homestar Hair one. I love it when Strong Bad gets ticked off about something. I liked The Process, but they came in just a little late for it. I mean, I'm pretty sure we all figured out what the process was by the time they made that email.

I don't get the gimmicks one. What gimmick? And when did he ever have/not have a gimmick?

I think the emailer meant when Strong Bad would just sit at the computer and answer the email. Instead of it going into his imagination.

The only sbemails I dislike are boring (for obvious reasons) and old comics. I just didn't understand the jokes in the latter. I hate to say it, but those were true stinkers.

I think the only semi funny part of that e-mail was the part where the computer exploded.

Mine is probably the one about his funeral.

Why? It involves death.

And everybody hates death.

Whaa?


"The Forgotten Email" would be it, but "Screw All Yall" makes up for it, and it being 'banned' helps, too. "Some Kinda Robot" isn't all too great, but still... I like what he says... and stuff. Yeah. Now, for "i rule", I like that Strong Badia is made, but not much humor. So I'd say "i rule" is my least favorite. But if it's which strong bad email you hate with the commentary included, I couldn't decide.

Yeah, Making Out isn't much. Basically just Instructions. The only bit of slight humor is "And then put on my hit single "You're Really Ugly (But There's Nobody Cute Around)." And that alone isn't too funny anyway.
