4:10 it's funny that all those sbemail that spunoff into their own cartoons and stuff, like Sweet Cuppin Cakes, Teen Girl Squad, and Trogdor are also popular things within the Homestar Runner universe. It's like there are companies that constantly follow Strong Bad's show only to steal all his ideas and instantly realize them, no matter how crazy they are.
Ahhh barrel o crabs... (This isn't actually an HSR reference but one for a Web comic. I wonder if anyone know what I'm quoting?) PS I meant to say something more relevant to your quote but I got sidetracked sorry 😛
The little girl's strange disjointed phrases have bern in my inner monologue for years. Example "Lots and lots of breakfast " Is what I say when making a big breakfast. It can't be helped.
This came about in July 2004 because Mike and Missy were married around Christmastime 2003. The wedding left The Brothers Chaps little time for a proper Decemberween toon, and they actually tried several different ideas out before scrapping all of them and thus going without Decemberween in 2003 (an unfinished version of the Teen Girl Squad short was shown at an appearance at the University of Central Florida in spring 2004). The cornucopia idea came about from the various abandoned concepts.
Fun fact: When I was a really young kid (like, kindergarten young), I had a toy keyboard that played the exact same demo tune as Casio Head Strong Bad in that toon.

Crazy to think how much older that "adorable little girl" is now; assuming she's between 2 / 3 when they filmed this, and this was originally uploaded to the HR website in 2004, that would mean she's around 15! Feel old yet?
I have to say, out of all my experience finding this series through the youtube channel, I think the best thing that could have possibly happened was watching this before the crazy cartoon sbemail. It was even weirder without the origin for context, and I wouldn't have had it any other way.
Homestar would make a great character on a kid's TV show. He's fun, simple, and his lisp makes him sound a bit younger and cooler for kids. But what am I saying?
Narrator: The Martins sing festive songs for the neighbors. Strongbad: The martinis have gone straight to their heads. The neighbors will probably call the cops.
