Finally, something new in the H*R world. And it is pretty dang hilarious, I must say.
I loved everything about this one.

10/10.

OMGOMGOMG.

Finally! That was great! No wonder it took so long. It had alot of different stuff.

I hate Scooby Doo, but love scooby references.. Strange isn't it?

That was pretty funny.

Haven't seen it yet, but yaaaaaaaaaay!

EDIT: Man, I sent like three emails last month about high school. And I wasn't picked! Waaaaaah...

Still haven't watched it yet, though.

Now you can all finally SHUT UP about the TBC updates!

Am I the only one that didn't really like it?

Mr.KISS · **Posted:** Mon Jan 09, 2006 4:21 am

Is it taking anyone else an excruciatingly long time to load?

ChickenLeg · **Posted:** Mon Jan 09, 2006 4:24 am

When I saw the words Highschool, I was already snickering. The cartoon lived up to it's standards, although I wish the Roman times easter egg had more... Roman... to it... and not Old-Timey.

I enjoyed it when Homestar asked if he'll be emancipated from his pants, Strong Sad sitting next to the Poopsmith, Coach Z baby having speech problems already, and the multiplying Homestarmecium.

Anyway, 10/10!

We finally got to see Homestar's "long glorious pants."

Strongbad needs to get his facts straight; is Coach Z near twice his age or around the same? That fro was pretty funny.....

The Experimental Film · **Posted:** Mon Jan 09, 2006 4:24 am

Meh, didn't like it so much. Could have been better.

Could have been mine...

EDIT: Anyone else notice Strong Bad's reflection on the wall at the end?

DeathlyPallor · **Posted:** Mon Jan 09, 2006 4:26 am

It did have its strong points. Strong Bad in the petry dish being shaped like a virus... no surprise there!

It was okay, but just that alone was not worth the wait.

Mr.KISS · **Posted:** Mon Jan 09, 2006 4:27 am

Ok, I saw it.

It was awesome. I t showed alot of stuff, possibly new time era (roman), different versions of the characters, schooby doo refrence.

Alot of stuff to do on the wiki now.

Hey, a good comeback E-mail! Finally the discussion about whether or not TBC will ever update again is over for now. Anyway, this one wasn't great or anything, and it felt a little overly silly, as if they were trying too hard, but definitely somewhat of an improvement over the last couple. I particularly liked Strong Bad's high school persona and his misuse of i.e. (bet IJ is groaning at that one

), the Roman times easter egg with 1936 (or is it 37? 38?), and Homestar as a paramaecium. Somewhere around the B/B+ range.

Short and sweet.

Not the greatest (I still hold theme park in that place~) but it WAS fun.

That being said.

I WANT A DANG HOMESTAR BABIES TOON!

Mr.KISS · **Posted:** Mon Jan 09, 2006 4:38 am

Hey, I just watched it again and noticed something. When Marzipan: Highschool edition comes on she says calls the place the people are in a "Pie Factory" that was owned by her "Long lost uncle". Considering how the place looks, does that mean it's Pietimer place from "That a Ghost"? If so, doesn't that mean that that scary ghost thing is Marzipan's long lost uncle? :eek:

Windee · **Posted:** Mon Jan 09, 2006 4:43 am

O_O

*SQUEEEEEEE!*

*adopts Baby Coach Z as her own and snuggles* MIIIIINEEE!!!!

Um...what else? I thought it was very clever, a little on the short side but well worth the wait. Wasn't too wild about the Scooby Doo refs but I never liked Scooby Doo.

The microscopic organism bit gave me a few hearty laughs, but that's because I'm a science nerd.

Cybernetic Teenybopper · **Posted:** Mon Jan 09, 2006 4:59 am

Awiiiiight! Good Prize! A solid break-update-fast sbemail; quite entertaining. Hey, Marzipan has legs! And another cream/ointment/rub joke, I see. "Six tubes of rear end cream, comin' up!"

Since Windee took Baby Coach Z, I am so adopting Baby Pom Pom. He's so adorable!

And hey ho! It reminds me a lot of the "Next time period" poll in the--Toons forum, I believe.

9/10.

Jenny · **Posted:** Mon Jan 09, 2006 5:13 am

aww, i wanted to see a baby homestar... well, apparently TBC got bored and decided to whip out some more Flash... uh... drawing-objects-things... well, now we know what took a while. I'm sure we'll be seeing more of those newly invented characters in future creations. Yay! Good toon, I was wondering that myself. anyone else think it was weird that i made a fan-toon about homestar in college before this came out? strange coincidence, but surely just coincidence

To the tune of "The Cheat is Not Dead"

TBC, man... where did they ever go (now we know)...
Seems like just yesterday I was watchin' new toons on their site. (It will be yesterday in about an hour)
This ones for them.

We missed TBC!
for not updating their site for a month
We hoped we wouldn't see their names in the paper (in the obituaries)
Cuz that woulda meant they were dead.
The Flash dudes are not dead! I'm so glad the Flash dudes are not dead...

I liked this e-mail. The Coach Z baby is precious. And apperently adopted by Windee.

Yea, It's taking soooooo long. But that just might be because everybody and there brother is so excited to see the new release

Evang · **Posted:** Mon Jan 09, 2006 5:33 am

Good way to come back. They even did the flashbacks in a style somewhat reminiscent of older material, too. Not massively underbitey Homestar!?

Wonderful e-mail. Made my night to go on there, sleepdepraved and just merely wanting to see "Strong Bad is a Bad Guy" for no appearant reason. My one gripe is that it kind of went downhill after the VERY hilarious Scooby-Doo parody--My favorite part being the random "playing in a band". The baby segment was still funny though, and I liked seeing the old-timey gang again in the easter egg.

lollll! They were risque! WHAT WAS HE BUYING FROM THE BUBS AMOEBA omgg!!!!!!!

I don't know--I can't load at all. Just a dead, blank window. Does anyone else have this problem?

It takes a while, just give it some time.

If you get a 404'd mesage, just click refresh.

Evang · **Posted:** Mon Jan 09, 2006 5:40 am

Also, umm, High School Marzipan looks a LOT like the Melody character from that...yellow mushroom or something?

It did take me a long while to load. It even froze up halfway through, like I was watching it on dial-up.

Won't load for me... being waiting about 12 minutes.

Windee · **Posted:** Mon Jan 09, 2006 5:44 am

Watched it over a few more times, I wish they had included The Cheat in there somehow...

Yes. But Xyzzyka is SO going to challenge me on that one...
