Guess my favorites..!

"What is this? Did the quadratic formula explode? I see a 'Strong ba' in there, but it's getting eaten, by some... Linux or something."

We had that light switch installed for you so you could turn the lights on and off. Not so you could throw light switch raves!

Now let’s go break open that glow stick into home star runners Mountain Dew. I hear they have to pump your stomach when you drink that stuff.

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.

[-] NutWrench@lemmy.ml 20 points 4 months ago

Another vote for "Virus." Lots of 4th wall breaking. Also, the anti-virus report from "Edgar"

"Computer over? Virus = Very Yes?"

I haven't been able to find it in years, but SB got an email from some chick who wanted to bone him (or whatever PG-13 lingo they used), and accidently deleted it. He panics, then gets another email that's all broken English, but claiming to be the same person. At first excited, he then says:

"You are not [name]! You are not even literate!" And let me tell you, my 10 year old ass laughed until I dang near pissed myself

We put that second lightswitch in so that you could turn the lights on and off

I was never a huge fan of the series, only watched a few animations, but this stuck with me.

Trogdor, Computer Virus.

Also, "A One that is not cold is scarcely a One at all"

“Hello, my name is Trevor. I am a vampire and…”

I am a vampire and what? I am a vampire and… here’s a million dollars?

[-] TedZanzibar@feddit.uk 11 points 4 months ago

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.

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.

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.

"There's a rainbow in my pocket and I think it's starting to melt"

Is a quote from them and I can't remember which? Not i was literally just singing this to myself.

But I really like a lot of them... But if I had to pick one off the top of my head?

TROGDOR or children's book (? Title? - no two kids are not on fire!)

Man, "japanese cartoon" really was the birth of a legend. Can't forget the fond memories of playing that Stinkoman video game!
