The Homestar Runner Thread

GO CHECK THE SITE: http://www.homestarrunner.com (http://www.homestarrunner.com)
Any fans of this internet based cartoon? It's been around for years...2003 or 2002. And it started with Homestar Runner, this complete idiot kinda guy with no arms, and his nemesis Strong Bad. They had this pikachu like pet named The Cheat. It has really taken off with "Strong Bad Email" which gets letters from actual people, and then he disses them, makes internet shorts, and basically goes off into a tangent.
To this day, they have taken off, selling merchandise from DVDs to book bags. Even have been featured in video games such as Guitar Hero and the Wii.
The site is filled with fake video games, short movies, songs, etc. Great time waster.
I like their weird side characters, like Larry - who is part of a Hair Metal band not unlike Kiss and Poison of the 80s. :lol:

Some friends showed me this back in like '04 and I thought Strong Bad was pretty funny, but I liked Teen Girl Squad the most. Issue #4 (http://www.homestarrunner.com/tgs4.html) is my favorite.
"Ya'll are so wack."
"Wiggidy wack?"
"Nope. Just regular Type."

Used to be a fan years ago. I even got the Trogdor shirt.
Stopped in '03-04. That was my freshman year in college, and my dorm hall's theme was Homestar Runner. Having done it to death in the last year of high school, I guess it got kind of old by then. I can still quote some of the old stuff though.
Owww, my stomach lining.
MSG'd!
