BTW, you can also watch all the videos on their YouTube page . They did eventually give in to doing that, as Internet videos that weren’t on YouTube pretty much might as well not have existed for a lot of people
BTW, I discovered that they are all hidden if you have Safe Search enabled. Odd since they were specifically designed for all ages, with no cursing or anything.
One thing to note for newbies is that the original Flash cartoons had all sorts of little Easter Eggs associated with most episodes, especially at the very end. Usually, clicking on various words or phrases on the final screen would call up additional animations, still shots, downloads, games, and the such. I also seem to remember mid-movie easter eggs, so it’s worth watching them in the original format, too.
I just have to mention two words for those unfamiliar with Homestar Runner. “Kids Book”. That is all.

They won’t really be back until there is a new Teen Girl Squad.
Enjoy,

All of the L’il Brudder bits always send me into shameful laughing fits.
Yeah. In 2002 or so we would gather in my dorm room to watch Homestar Runner on my 1024x768 CRT.
Also this is neither mundane nor pointless

This is especially important for the “new” Strongbad email Snowboarder Bo mentioned. At least, I hope most people knew what that string of characters meant…

Homestar Runner had funny internet videos five years before there was a such thing as YouTube. It’s a humorous video website, not a game website. It’s akin to a YouTube channel with a lot of cartoons on it. And it finally updated again after three and a half years of silence.
It was quite popular. I don’t know anyone who was in the channel’s age bracket when it was active who did not know about it. If you were in college or high school during its heyday, I’d expect you to know about it. So pretty much anyone from age 22 to 32 would feel the nostalgia.
I was in high school and college in the 1970s. So, no, I’m not in the age bracket.
