The good times might be over as Homestar suffers from bug-swallow while Strong Bad catches up on his Caleb Rentpayer stories. Original publish date: May 9, 2005
I'm curious how many of the instances of poor grammar and malformed words you translated. Stuff like "medical resistance" or "why come Shakespeare was awesome."
"Strong Bad, the good times are over! I swallowed your computer!" *"YOU **_WHAT?!!!"_* "Oh I mean a small bug. I swallowed a small bug." Still one of my favorite jokes in these cartoons.
This was my favorite H*R cartoon back in the day. It helped shape my humor so much! I still use “i am now!”, “and that’s why come”, “hey look, a little guy!”, “oooh boolean operators!”, and “do you need medical resistance” in my lexicon. So great.
It was so uncanny the vocabulary was also found in idiocracy around the same time period. “Why come you don’t have a tattoo”. Quoting both at the same time always makes me feel alone. I too will laugh one day when my great great grandkids are laughing about my silly f*g talk at Buttf**kers 🥴
I love how there's no context for anything. What mistake did Strong Sad make that lead to him being called Dairy Queen? Why is the King of Town gossiping to Pom Pom about the Poopsmith? Why is Bubs burning evidence? What the heck is the plot of the show Strong Bad is watching? Why does Strong Sad need underwear?
One of my all-time favorites. "The good times are definitely over" becomes more and more relevant every passing day. At least with this cartoon in mind, I can laugh about it.
OH MY GOD!! IT HAS FINALLY HAPPENED!! THE BRETHREN CHAPS UPLOADED MY FAVORITE TOON (of the longer toons!) OF ALL TIME!!!!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!
can i just say how much i love the into/outro music to this cartoon? the humming just sounds so pleasant, and it's on-theme with the buzzing sounds bugs make. big fan
“Not associated with Bubs: paranormal investigator“ It’s the littlest details that keep me entertained. As well as everything else about these toons. Thanks for the upload!
This was one of the first toons I saw when my cousin introduced me to this website in the summer of 2007, needless to say I was instantly hooked on Homestar & Strong Bad & crew right away, & here I am over 15 years later still enjoying their antics.
3:37 It's especially funny how Strong Bad doesn't even flinch or hesitate when Homestar shows up. Truly an isosceles fish sandwich. I mean a regular. I mean a classic.
I'm really happy all the old toons are getting HD updates and uploaded on RU-vid. Thank you for keeping this wonderful piece of internet history around.
Man, all the music in this series kicked ass, from the regular background music and title card music to the full lyrical songs. I was so happy when they released it all on Spotify.
This will always be my favorite non-sbemail toon they ever made. Every line is just perfection. Also 3:37. I've watched this hundreds of times and I never get tired of it.
Coming up next, on an all-new episode of Caleb Rentpayer.. "Drat, and the search parameters included Boolean operators and everything! Caleb, did you cut the power so I would be outbid on an auctioned set of vintage, gentlemanly-purpose Bleu Wun Select undergarments?" *"I sure did."*
God these are still so good. I honestly took for granted just how amazing Homestar Runner was when I was a kid. I hope even in the future kids still watch these and enjoy them because they really do feel kind of timeless
I still use "A doctor, eh? I think I might be one of those." from time to time. Mostly when I have to revive someone in video games when I didn't actually pick medic.
"Grandma's watching her stories" is a phrase I still use, joining many other Homestar references that are in my lexicon that I don't remember where they came from until I rewatch them.
This was one of the first HR toons I ever saw, and it has a special place in my heart for that reason. In addition, I would also freak out if I swallowed a bug. If it happened as a child, I WOULD probably think I was gonna die. Also, "I just thought you should know that all your underwears somehow ended up individually priced and labeled in an online auction." "NOBODY BUY THE BLUE ONES!" is one of my favorite exchanges.
I was just thinking about Boolean search operators a few days ago, and that led me to remember that little exchange between Strong Bad and Strong Sad. I couldn't remember what 'toon that came from, but here it is! So that was serendipitous.
