What did you think?
-more Sbemails?
-unexplainable return from the arctic by Homestar?
-Dream?
Cool in my opinion, I hope this means more sbemails

I really don't think this is anything to do with sbemails
however I really loved this toon! So random and out of the blue, I was kinda hoping for a very convoluted explanation about how the heck he ended up in the arctic. Still funny though! One of my favourite toons perhaps?

Hilarious. Hooray for more Strong Bad involvement, while Homestar returning as the victim, ah, good times. So funny.

Well.

THAT.

Was awesome.

Oh, man. TBC are definitely making sure 2009 gets off to a very memorable start! For me, this was one of those "what the pfargtl?" type of toons, but of the best and funniest type.

Eric the orange · **Posted:** Mon Feb 09, 2009 12:05 pm

Seemed... short, to me. But other than that good. 3/5

We got a pretty big hint here when Homestar said "I'm thinking just maybe this might not be Marzipan's new patio". Also this toon was awesome 9999/5

Click the period at the end screen!

Very funny.Sometimes there are things you just don't wanna know.

"Larry sounds like the kind of guy that could get me out of this jam!"

Yeah, so that was pretty much the greatest thing ever. Go figure.

Very funny and off-the-wall, just the way I like it.

I do wonder if this might be used as a way of getting the sbemails back... either way, still worth watching a few times.

(no matter what music I am listening to, this little guy :eekdance:

always seems to be dancing along...)

I'm disappointed that it had nothing at all to do with Valentine's Day, but at least they treated us to some of the best and most unique animation on the site! Does anyone else think this will start an arc?

SnowyFox · **Posted:** Mon Feb 09, 2009 5:01 pm

It was really funny, but not stand-out awexome, which sets it up with a solid 4. I like how it's a standalone toon with no necessary connections to a formula or holiday. Sometimes those are the best.

??? · **Posted:** Mon Feb 09, 2009 5:22 pm

I love it and at the same time can't figure out what it has to do with anything. It's like Drive-Thru all over again.

Mini-Trogdor SP · **Posted:** Mon Feb 09, 2009 5:31 pm

Best Caper Ever? More like Best Short Ever. Only low point here is the "wee in the melonade" thing. tick humor really isn't that funny, especially when it's not called tick. But I can't vote 4.9, so yeah, 5/5 for me.

Key-sword-tar · **Posted:** Mon Feb 09, 2009 5:37 pm

Wonderfully insane. I had no idea what was going on for the whole short.
The only downside, as has been mentioned, was the use of urine based humour. Not sure 'bout that. It wasn't that it was the wrong way to go, I just didn't find it funny.
The rest, on the other hand, was delightfully mad. Better than the Hremails we've had so far (not that they're bad)

Absolutly superb. Keep up the good work, Matt and Mike. :bubs:

Monkeytender · **Posted:** Mon Feb 09, 2009 7:35 pm

There was some very shiny-looking animations in this one. Very nice. The only thing that bothered me was that the ending seemed kind of abrupt.

"You're a polar bear, right? Why don't you use your frost breath and turn me into an ice cube?"= best Homestar and Strong Sad interaction ever.

Power Crunch · **Posted:** Mon Feb 09, 2009 7:44 pm

"Okay. Bye, bloated sea lion carcass! Thanks for stopping by!"

I just thought that line was hilarious!

So far, unlike with sbemails, hremails seem to be way more willing to share the spotlight.

That's what I said. Hremails are more willing to share the spotlight with other toons and shorts than sbemails.

Pintoq Ooberman · **Posted:** Mon Feb 09, 2009 9:28 pm

I can't... I don't... What was...

This toon makes Drive-Thru seem perfectly sane. In fact, it made so little sense, that I can't even give it an actual rating. Hmm, I'll just give it three Senor Cardgages out of Trogdor.

:senor:

Who else was expecting the pixelated Larry P. head [from SBCG4AP] to appear when Homestar started calling for "Larry"?

I enjoyed watching this cartoon, even though it makes no sense, it was hilarious! Come to think of it, this is the first time that we've seen strong bad since decemberween! :-D

I accidently put 3/5 for the vote, but my real rating is:
:hr:

This is already a nominee for best toon of 2009. Couldn't stop laughing. Typical Strong Bad and The Cheat! Even typical-er Homestar!

Does his foot-pelt-ed appearance not count?

5/5. Best. Caper. Ever. And I seriously lol'd when Strong Bad asked The Cheat if they tried folding space-time. Because I'm trying to figure out an awesome way to simulate some crap like that for a teleporter in my latest Roblox project. All I've come up with so far is either a black hole that eats all bricks in the place, including the Entry Barrel and SpawnLocation, which are supposed to be un-blackholeable because they're Anchored... or something that definitely resembles a Time Hole from "Partners in Time". Maybe I should send an email to Strong Bad and ask him how to fold spacet-- Oh wait, he already did that. But for my purposes, blender + Game Boy =/= wormhole.
I wonder if this Best Caper Ever was Strong Bad's way of stopping hremails so he can reclaim the email spotlight again...

And cheezrat, Easter egg appearances do count. So technically, the Hremail 2000 appearance of Strong Bad is between A Death-Defying Decemberween and Best Caper Ever in terms of Strong Bad appearances.
