Some people are squirrel handed! Gregor is a weird name.
Trogdor
How do you choose? I always loved Teen Girl Squad.
Strongbad gets a virus...yes...very yes!
I see a Strong Ba in there, but it's getting eaten by some Linux or something.
The one where he talks about hot gluing corn flakes to your face, singing from the bowels of your lungs, and creeping rusty meat in reference to death metal is good.
It is difficult to pick a favorite.
Of course I have a fondness for "Dragon."
"Virus" comes to mind as well as a particularly good showcase of Flash animation. Some of the magic is lost now that Flash is dead and you're probably going to view the cartoon in a video player, but as originally presented they really pulled off some great interface screws like having Homestar pick apart the links at the bottom.
I really miss the Flash era, it felt so much more creative. Hell just having "cartoon or game" as a sliding scale was cool; Homestar Runner cartoons were all at least slightly interactive in ways no one does anymore for lack of a suitable media.
It is difficult to pick a favorite.
All my emails is like my childrens!
Strongbad email maybe from a female.
My favorite is Kids' Book. "Some people are very tall and merciless, Quincy is destroying San Antonio."
Strongbad email maybe from a female.
That was the "sisters" sbemail, where Strong Bad gets a message from Ali asking if he has a girlfriend, and that there's two of them, implying she has a sister. Strong Bad talks in a romantic voice, and ends up accidentally deleting Ali's message.
I couldn't remember what one that was, thank you. I knew it wasn't kids book bit thats one of the things I still say all the time
Deleted!? WHAT? Wait, what happened!? No, undeleted! UNDELETED! I didn't mean to do that! Aw, maaaaaan!
COME BACK, ALI..! Come back Ali's sister..!
The one about techno is probably my favorite. I still have that song stuck in my head and I haven't heard it in probably 10+ years. I'll randomly say THE SYSTEM IS DOWN every now and then
a friend of mine used that song as his on-call ringtone for a while as a sysadmin
the cheat is grounded
I quote this ALL. THE. TIME.
Lil Brudder was always my favorite. He has the heart of a champion!
I don't really remember them well enough to say. I remember the iconic ones but those weren't necessarily my favorites.
I used to watch Teen Girl Squad Valentimes every Valentine's Day for a long time, but that's not a sbemail.
I loved Teen Girl Squad so much
βVirus.β
Computer over?
Virus = very yes?
Thatβs not a good prize!
I put the EdgarWare jingle into 8088 Tetris Attack.
"Very yes" has become an unironic part of my vocabulary.
Hey, I just saw someone post desktop bg of this on a different community.
That was also me... ;)
Small world!
All I remember is βCheckinβ da emailβ¦β
Idk if it was an sbemail or not but I love the news report one where strongmad is throwing the cheat up in there air for a helicopter live update
Some of the very first ones were great; Trevor the vampire, and the one that birthed Homsar (possibly the very first one?). Stuck with it for all the classics; lightswitch rave, Trogdor, teen girl squad, 20X6, Sweet Cuppin' Cakes (I still bring up Eh, Steve! to this day).
Eventually they started getting longer and longer and lost a lot of the punchiness and I stopped watching.
I think my favourite is probably Trogdor. The way Strong Mad has just carved 'DAGRON' into the table always makes me chuckle for some reason.
Trogdor is definitely my number one sbemail.
A lot of my favorites have already been mentioned, but I don't see "Caper" yet.
"Thanks for stopping by; thanks for breaking my cow lamp," is still common parlance in our household.
And "The Cheat Is Not Dead" is a classic Strongbad hit.
Another vote for "Virus." Lots of 4th wall breaking. Also, the anti-virus report from "Edgar"
"Computer over? Virus = Very Yes?"
It's in a better place now. Actually, it's in the same place, but with a big hole in it!
You murderer! You killed my brother! I mean, computer!
Techno. My son does too. He throws light switch raves.
Or Crazy Cartoon. Or Japanese Cartoon.
No, no, it's Virus. Tough to understand the jumping off the screen or popup gags these days, though.
Trogdor, Computer Virus.
