Here is a place to post and discuss your favorite Homestar Runner media. Toons, songs, games, whatever. It is also a good place to talk about how your vocabulary has been altered by these dumb animal characters.

This is my favorite Homestar Runner cartoon ever, and I think it is a great introduction to the series.

Finally, here is my top H*R music video:

EDIT: Oh yeah, and currently all content on the actual site is served through a Flash emulator called Ruffle, which is functional but imperfect. Using the actual site allows you to enjoy the interactive elements, but you will run into rendering issues here and there and full-on broken content every so often. Keep that in mind.

What's worse (better?) is that there are still phrases I use that were lifted from HStarrunner, either wholesale or slightly less-than-accurate to the original source.

Also I was looking into things the Brothers Chap had been involved with last year and discovered this series of shorts they did for the Disney Channel. I ended up binging the entire series thanks to a playlist, worth checking out if your desperate for some new "Homestar but not" content.

Here’s another one that I decided not to include in the OP because it is one of the rare instances of a Homestar Runner toon not aging well. It has a bit of not-good terminology in it: gypped. If you can ignore that it’s really good and kind of like a sequel to montage.

Aaah thank you, I totally forgot about Where’s the Cheat! You know just recently I was thinking about how Marzipan has funny character traits, but because she is reasonably intelligent and empathetic she is often sadly relegated to the straight man role. I guess that was probably fueled by Homestar getting dumber over the years. It’s awesome to see one where she gets to be the weird one while Homestar plays the straight man role!

NoiseAnnoys posted:

Sure, if you know for a fact The Brothers Chaps were involved in whatever GF thing you post. I remember one great story Matt told about being in the writer’s room for that show. He wrote a scene that ended in a song, so he storyboarded it out, then in the writer’s room he acted out the scene and used a Casio keyboard to perform the song. The other writers were kinda stunned, and he was worried he might have done something wrong, but the others explained that usually when a song was required for a scene they just wrote in [song goes here] and left it up to the music department. Of course, for Homestar Runner it was just the two of them, so they had to learn to write and play music so they could include it in H*R content! So Matt was the only writer on Gravity falls that wrote his own songs.

OP I'm glad you started with the 4Tst Annual Fall Float Parade because it really is perfect in every way. A literal parade of hilarious gags that show off all the characters' motives, even too well. "Yes yes, what fun!"

My next favorite is the eminently quotable SBemail "Hygiene":

Clicks all my retro AV boxes and is like 50% quotable lines by weight.

Edit: I wanted to post about Rap Song but, I wonder how people look back at the Peace-Y-P stuff now. Maybe not.

It's important to remember that the vast majority of Americans do not know that is a slur for Romani people or that Romani people exist at all

It is also important to remember that every single tv station that aired Tiny Toon Adventures announced it the exact same way

Honestly it always surprised me that there weren't more of these types of arguably unintentional offenses buried in antique colloquialisms, in a cartoon primary made in Atlanta. Compared to a similar pioneering 2000's Georgian cartoon about layabouts and weirdos, Squidbillies, Homestar Runner is downright squeaky-clean.
