Numba 200!! - Discussing SBEmail 200 and surrounding toons

[fireface68]

When do you think Email 200 is coming out???????
I say next week, but I doubt it. :mad::mad::mad:

[Dr. Zoidberg]

When Homestar Ruiner released, they got back on track with the weekly updates, but they might be doing something big for e-mail 200.

[I HAVE FURY]

They're probably going to stall more and realease a bunch of toons first.

[someguyfromazoo]

They still have to make a sequel to email 100. (http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail100.html)

[Darkblade07]

That be sweet.Just like the email 100(the this page cannot display one)
except for email 200

[someguyfromazoo]

Link Fixed.

[Gman5852]

why does everyone put in the past as an option in the polls

[metalkombat]

In case the thread lasts longer than the time it takes to release to 'toon. Then, people can be stupid and vote on the useless poll!

[MoFaJo]

omg you so stole my poll idea (http://www.telltalegames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6344)

[Jake]

Place ya bets! (http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail199andahalf.html)

[Hiroshi Mishima]

I so saw that coming.

[YoshiAngemon]

I DIDN'T! I saw it through the wiki, but it was kind of hyping. It might as well be a 100 Creamy-Ding Snack Cake Victory for the K.O.T, if NONE of those things happen! Of course, That would be unlikely. If you'll need me, I'll be taking a secret elevator. Booooooo... *slowly slinks downscreen until he vanishes offscreen.*

[Ben Again]

Well, if the X-and-a-half 'toon is out already, then I'd expect that e-mail 200 will be out in a week or two.

[someguyfromazoo]

But they have to work on the sequel to email 100! (http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail100.html)

[YoshiAngemon]

And one said strong bad wont make it out alive, but that was homestar with candles and a clock that said that.

Yeah, because Homestar is the star of HomestarRunner.com, not Strong Bad! Besides, his reason: It's HomestarRunner.com, NOT StrongBad.com!

[Hiroshi Mishima]

I thought that bit with Homestar was hilarious, especially Strong Sad's comment afterwards.

[Sterrance]

Telltale, we know that the Chaps have told you if anything big happens (eg: they'd say if the Lappy was dead). You don't wanna end up like this guy.

http://img516.imageshack.us/img516/7328/hswintl7.png

TELL US!

[metalkombat]

Everyone else made a thread about [I]when[I] it comes out; imma make a thread about what it actually will be about. So, place ya bets!

15 says it's a parody of "dragon". Or at least a continuation.

"Dear Strong Bad,
I still can't draw with such skills of an artist as yourself! Perhaps you could draw for me a cat, garden gnome, or other-type item to help improve my skills.
Dan, Ohio"

There would be no way it gets anywhere near the popularity Trogdor did, but I think it would be a semi-decent idea for this 'toon (and maybe we get another heavy metal song out of it!).

Crapfully Crap,
Metalkombat.

I mean,
Sincerely,
Metalkombat

[Strongsadioware]

10 says either, A.The Lappy dies or B.Homestar acts like an idiot.

[metalkombat]

Strongsadioware has 10 on Lappy death and Homestar doing what he always does! Do I hear 12, maybe 14? Do I have any other takers?

[Strongsadioware]

I bet 150 pizz points that the The Cheat will show up.

HOT action?
BIIIIG numbas?

[someguyfromazoo]

I BET..there will be EVIL, DESTRUCTION, APOCALYPSE, AWESOMENESS, AND EXORCISMS! Or at least making fun of the people who think that in 2012 or so, the world will end, because that's when the Mayan calendar ends.

[MaxFan]

15 says it's "tape leg 2" which was actually a flash-forward in the flashbacks from "personal favorites". I'd be dying laughing if that happened.

[Ugly Bird]

I'll put my pretendix on the line and predict that Strong Bad will build ANOTHER alternate universe portal, but this time he puts a Game Boy Advance into the blender, instead of a regular Game Boy, and it takes him to OPPOSITE land... where Homestar Runner answers his fan e-mail at Strongbad.com, Stong Bad wears a funny hat and floats around talking nonsense, and Strong Bad is stupid and dates the only girl, Parzipan.

[Jake]

15 says it's "tape leg 2" which was actually a flash-forward in the flashbacks from "personal favorites". I'd be dying laughing if that happened.

I would love that. I still enjoy Tape Leg. Apparently it's a hated email by self proclaimed "real fans," but they are mistaken.

[Hiroshi Mishima]

I've never understood why "real fans" hated it so much. I'm a real fan and I've been watching the things for years now. I don't think there's EVER been an email that I've hated. Some are funnier than others, but none that are really hate-worthy.

[Jake]

Sometimes people just sort of collectively decide something is lame, even when it isn't. I've heard that the old timey universe is also widely regarded among hardcore fans as "not liked," which also strikes me as weird, as it's some of my favorite stuff. The Ballad of the Sneak is one of my favorite pieces of content on the site.

[DrRocketGenius]

Homestar's Candle Dynamite should actually blow up the Lappy. Strong Bad should get a slicker looking laptop with a battery life of more than ten minutes, and one that charges on weekends. P:

[Rather Dashing]

People don't like Old Timey? Seriously?

I don't pay attention to the kind of people that, for example, post on the Homestar Runner wiki forums. So I don't know much about fan trends.

Tape-leg isn't my favorite e-mail, sure. But it makes me smile and chuckle, and that's more than can be asked of something that's been provided free of charge for years now. And the humor didn't rely on in-jokes, running gags, or references. Original humor FTW.

By the way, my favorite e-mail would probably be Technology. And the few bits with the Videlectrix Guys are my favorite pieces of content on the site.

[Dr. Zoidberg]

If the Lappy dies, what amazing feat of technology will Strong Bad bring in next?

[metalkombat]

I don't think there can be anything beyond the Lappy. Strong Bad can't handle anything more technologically sophisticated. Plus, any better technology would kind of ruin some of the humor...

[Ugly Bird]

I don't think there can be anything beyond the Lappy. Strong Bad can't handle anything more technologically sophisticated. Plus, any better technology would kind of ruin some of the humor...

I agree. Strong Bad must always have severely outdated technology. Anything better than the Lappy wouldn't be sufficiently outdated for at least another couple of years.

The Cheat has moved on to a flatpanel...

[Hiroshi Mishima]

Actually, there was this old type of computer I used in the early 90's, late 80's... it was called an Apple 2e. I guess it would probably be best compared to the Compy, but it honestly felt like a cross between the Compy and Tandy. And it used the kind of printer that the Original Paper was from.

Probably wouldn't fit, though. It'd be too similar to what we've seen in the past. I suppose Strong Bad could always get himself a Commodore 64. (lol)

[Jake]

"This old type of computer?" :( The Tandy home PCs were built as competitors to the Apple II, which was the first real line of home computers to become remotely popular or successful.

[Hiroshi Mishima]

Actually, I loved my old Apple 2e. I miss it terribly, but it was in truth my uncle's computer and when he packed it up one year he never got around to giving it to me. I've no idea where it is now. I had recently gotten a bunch of old games for it from my junior high teacher since they were all upgrading to the early, early Macintosh computers at the time. It was sad.

And yeah, sorry for my wording, I'm not as familiar with computers as I'd like to be. I generally only know about the ones I have. :/

And for the record, I LOVED my Commodore 64. I was heart-broken when it finally broke down and I couldn't get it fixed or replaced...

[Ben Again]

http://www.configmac.com/images/ancien-imac.jpg

RANDOMNESS! For the record, I'm using that exact iMac RIGHT NOW! :D (Although it's running on a newer opperating system. Leapord, is it?)

[Shwoo]

The Ballad of the Sneak is one of my favorite pieces of content on the site.
I haven't seen a lot of the "you're only cool if you like and hate the stuff we like and hate" kind of elitism in the Homestar Runner fandom. At least not in the two years I've been involved in it. It's true that not as many people like the Old-Timey toons as they deserve, but most Homstar Runner fans don't seem to care whether other people like them or not.

The attitude that the site is going downhill because one person didn't enjoy the email under discussion as much as the last one, on the other hand, really gets on my nerves.

It seems like the Lappy won't be going on email 200. I'm basing this on the fact that Strong Bad sad so.

[someguyfromazoo]

Welcome to every fandom under the sun. :( Everything has either jumped the shark, is about to jump the shark, or is currently in mid-flight over the shark. And if anybody dares enjoy anything that is currently undergoing shark-jump maneuvers, then that person is either not a true fan, or is "teh stupids lolol".

This is reversed when it comes to Strong Bad.Look at the First email ever.It's funny, sorta. Now the recent Sbemail.(not 199-and-a-half) Way better.Then again, this law is usually wrong.But here, it applies if it's in a mirror, or something...

[Shwoo]

Nostalgia is a powerful force.

Since when?
In Place Ya Bets, The Cheat places a bet that the Lappy won't make it out of the email. Later on, Strong Bad walks past saying that they're all way off.

[deadlinejon]

i say it will either be in 3d(ala sbcg4ap) or its filled with fourth wall breaks.
mabye they will completley destroy it.:D

I meant that there will always be fans who *say* every part is worse than the previous one. For example, look at any Simpsons forum ever.

[dentbuds]

place ya bets (http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail199andahalf.html) on whats gonna happen in sbemail 200. it says theres a 20% chance it'll be from a guy named dan. i sent an email resently, and my name is dan. does this mean...

[Strong Max]

It means ther is an 80% chance it isn't from a Dan. Out of the remaining 20%, there is an estimated persentage of 10% Named Dan. Out of the Dans, there are about 2,000,000 Dans that e-mail Strong Bad per week. 10/2 million= .000005% it will be from you. 5 millionths out of 100 doesn't sound too good Dan

[dentbuds]

there is still hope, young padawan.

[Strong Max]

100 says Strong Bad answers an e-mail.

[Strongsadioware]

Maybe the Lappy 486 2.0?

[stronggamer]

half a g says strong sad doesnt make it out alive

[DarkStar Runner]

http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail200.html

Back O the line for ya'lls!

[Strongsadioware]

Beat me too it!

[someguyfromazoo]

HOLEE CRAP. I told you there would be one!Oh, I knew it all along!

[Ugly Bird]

100 says Strong Bad answers an e-mail.

200 says Strong Bad reads an e-mail and then does something completely unrelated to the actual answering of the sender's question.

[Hiroshi Mishima]

I think it will survive, because what will they replace it with?

[Hiroshi Mishima]

I liked that, it made me laugh, which is exactly what I needed.

[DrRocketGenius]

I think it will survive, because what will they replace it with?

A shiny laptop with a battery life of more than 10 minutes would be good. P:

And yeah, I highly doubt it's going to die. I don't think they would of mentioned that in "Place ya bets" if they were going to do that. (Just what I think, though.)

[16_BIT_MARIO1]

The Lappy shall live to fight another day! But, if the DVD exclusive email, accent (http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/Accent), is true, it will eventually be replaced by the Zappy (http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/Zappy_XT6).

[Gman5852]

They made a sequal to notasbemail100 or something like that. Its like the 100 one only 200. check it out.

MADNESS! Strong Bad burned the old paper.... or did he? (DUN DUN DUNNNNN)

...yeah, he did. :P

100 says the Old Paper comes back to life.

Oh, you better start making:

A. A Settlement
B. A Cardboard Box House
C. A rough copy

"Email Soon" says the HSR front page :)

[deadlinejon]

has anyone tryed typing twohundred instead of 200 in the url?
email 100 used ahundred instead of 100 for the url. im onna try that now.

UPDATE typing www.homestarrunner.com/sbemailtwohundred just gives you a plain old 404.

[DrRocketGenius]

UPDATE typing www.homestarrunner.com/sbemailtwohundred just gives you a plain old 404.

[ShaggE]

Please tell me that wasn't the real Sbemail 200... As awesome as the singing Poopsmith and return of the bottomless Mountain Dwah was, that was barely a Sbemail at all.

[SidGarcia]

Since TMBG's song was in this email, this must've been the real deal.

[ShaggE]

Well... that's kind of disappointing.

Ah well, at least the ending and beginning owned. Maybe something will come of HRemails. :D

Better yet, Homsarmails. :p

It was still hilarious :)

[Rather Dashing]

I found this one to have exactly the kind of humor that I *dislike* in Sbemails.

Whatever. It was free and he'll have another good one. Maybe next week.

[ShaggE]

Heh... awesome that Homestar has an OLPC :)

Holy hell, I never noticed! Disappointment... waning... waning...... RISING!... waning...

[KarmaRocketX]

I have to mention something I find rather interesting about the discussion of the 200th email and SBCG4AP on the two main Homestar Runner related forums out there.

Hrwiki.org forums goers seem to have a rather negative general opinion about the Telltale game (saying that it was "very poorly written and far below the level of the website" and calling out against a second season being produced), and they are absolutely in love with Email 200.

Most of the posters here generally love the SBCG4AP game and generally praise it and so far, negative opinions about email 200 (with the reasons stated above.)



Am I one of the only few people that absolutely loved both Email 200 and SBCG4AP, or something? O_o Or is it that I just naturally appreciate good work?

As people know, I have high praise for the Telltale H*R games, but I thought Sbmail 200 was hilarious, and extremely clever with the surprising revelation that Homestar had his own email checking segment all this time and Strong Bad was merely a minor player in the hremails. It was short, but to the point. And strange. The kind of strange that takes a second or third viewing before it truly settles in (as with any good twist ending.)

It was like the surprising and jolting feeling as if one just got switched up with a Twilighlt Zone-ish switchup ending. I have a strong theory that it was merely the shorter length of email 200, coupled with the difficult-to-process shock being confused with disappointment, here.

Honestly, i did have to watch it twice before it sunk in, but when it did.. I was like "whoa."

[Silent]

Am I one of the only few people that absolutely loved both Email 200 and SBCG4AP, or something?

Well, I'm with you, that's for sure. Though, Homestar Runner already has "The Show".

What I wonder is if HRmails would be a perfect excuse to play as Homestar Runner in a possible Season 2 of SBG4AP? Homestar Runner gets an email and attempts to answer it in a rather stupid method.

I also wonder if that email that SB gotten was a "real" email, and TBC ran off with that to its logical conclusion.

[Rather Dashing]

Homestar wouldn't WORK as a playable character. The reason Strong Bad works as a playable character in SBCG4AP is that his style of humor involves snarky, sometimes wittty remarks. That make sense. And can be used as clues.

Homestar or Homsar in a starring role would be...bad.

Also, Homestar Wiki members are....

...

Different

They tend to thrive on in-jokes and references, keeping in their mind tiny strings of continuity that few people would ever try to remember.

And what they love...

...isn't funny on its own. Usually.

What makes the Strong Bad e-mails so extremely attractive, to me, is the fact that they tend to take something from the real world and then joke about it through the Homestar universe's warped lens.

The fact is, I simply don't like in-jokes.

That's why I didn't like it. Not because it was shocking, or that I "didn't get it", or that it's a sophisticated flavor of humor that requires a refined, acquired taste.

I just didn't like it.

[Weeblerjake]

All I can say is....

1. Email Homestar

2. THE PAPER!!!!!

3. The Poopsmith Speaketh!


WOOOOOOO!

[bpgisme]

I loved it! :D

The Poopsmith is one of my favorite characters because at times I feel like we're in the same business :P, so that part was really cool, and I loved the return of The Paper!!!! (Now is it permanently returned or just returned for this email? That is the question....)

Loved the game, loved the sbemail. :D

[DrRocketGenius]

(Now is it permanently returned or just returned for this email? That is the question....)

I was wondering that too. It burned at the end, so... I'm not sure. Oh, and I loved it. :D

[supraface]

i might just cry. i was hoping that the poopsmith had a cooler voice.

[Jake]

i might just cry. i was hoping that the poopsmith had a cooler voice.

Cooler than John Linnell? :( Dunno...

I'd have to disagree, in that Homestar's own game would just not work as a point-and-click-em-up adventure game, due to the fact that adventures are logically structured, and Homestar's methods of solving puzzles is all but logical, yet they all work better than doing the logical thing, sort of.

Also, these so-called HR fans are just a bunch of retards. Didn't Strong Bad himself say that it's the fans that ruined the franchise, perhaps in a jokingly way, but still to a point that it actually seemed to make sense it had to be true?

[Stephen]

This is weird...I keep getting 404'd when I go to watch Email 200...I waited for about a minute and nothing started. Anyone else having this problem?

[Gman5852]

I loved the return of The Paper!!!! (Now is it permanently returned or just returned for this email? That is the question....

I wonder...
didnt the paper kill the new paper.
Will there be a new new paper.

[supmandude]

I wonder...
didnt the paper kill the new paper.

I guess they both died so, maybe.

[Dr. Zoidberg]

S'okay, but I'm really annoyed I've been waiting 30 minutes, maybe more and the site isn't even half loaded!!!Did the people who saw the toon go during work hours or something when the traffic wasn't so high?

[DrRocketGenius]

I just loaded it again. Is your computer really slow? D:

[Stephen]

Hey, sorry to ask again, but is anyone else getting 404'd when they load the email?

[ig0rpwnwEd]

Yup. I think it's a trick.

[16_BIT_MARIO1]

This was a super special awesome email! I really hope this isn't the last sbemail. It would be a rather fitting end, with Strong Bad ending both shows. Plus, there's Strong Sad's comment in an easter egg.

[bpgisme]

Hey, sorry to ask again, but is anyone else getting 404'd when they load the email?


Working fine for me. Are you going to:
http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemailtwohundred.html?

[Dr. Zoidberg]

I just loaded it again. Is your computer really slow? D:No, it isn't.On my Mac I got as far as the sbemail menu, and it didn't take that long.I selected E-mail thunder and it started loading, and it loaded for 15 minutes and still didn't work.I'm beginning to lose hope!If it was still summer I could just watch the toon at like 1:00 a.m. but it's the schoole year now and the traffic on the site is INSANE!!!!Is there anyone on here who HASN'T seen it?(besides the people who got 404'd?)

P.S. when e-mail 100 came out it was NOTHING like this!!!What kind of computer are you using NickClick?

P.P.S. I hope TBC is working on a solution to this problem!!!

EDIT: 1.Now the e-mail doesn't even go to the loading screen!

2.I read the transcript for the email on hrwiki.It was funny, but not that funny.I would probably have to see it to actually get the full experience.(By the way, can you believe people have posted tributes and played the email 200 song in videos but no one has actually put on the email yet?!)

[Strongsadioware]

SPOILERS!!!!



I loved it when the Old Paper was alive, then died. Hillarious-ness.
Also, did you check that Strong Sad easter egg? He mention he hadn't updated his blog in years (hint hint).

[Thnikkaman]

If the paper is burned up, and the new paper went traitoron us, then why will
SB take it back? A new, new paper?

[Iron Curtain]

I'd have to disagree, in that Homestar's own game would just not work as a point-and-click-em-up adventure game, due to the fact that adventures are logically structured, and Homestar's methods of solving puzzles is all but logical, yet they all work better than doing the logical thing, sort of.

I'd have to agree. Adventure games are supposed to require thinking. Once you take that out, you get something like Beavis and Butt-head: Virtual Stupidity, in which problem-solving was made more difficult because it requires (a) pensive protagonist(s), something that game clearly did not have.

...not that I didn't enjoy the game, though...

[ig0rpwnwEd]

Working fine for me. Are you going to:
http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemailtwohundred.html?

Yes. But it's not working.

[someguyfromazoo]

[YoshiAngemon]

All I can say is....

1. Email Homestar

2. THE PAPER!!!!!

3. The Poopsmith Speaketh!


WOOOOOOO!

Well, bully-bully for you. As for how The Paper came back, I think that after he bid farewell to him, Strong Bad traded his printer in for the New Paper, and told Bubs to fix the Old Printer, so it would one day end the New Paper's Trial Status, with the Resurrection of The Paper! I mean, how else was The Paper able to exist in SBCG4AP?

[Dr. Zoidberg]

Good news, everyone who can't watch sbemail 200 on the site!!!!A very good person has recorded the email and put it on youtube!Here's the link!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CPCS359zgk

My thoughts on the email are it was not very good, and it seems like they might actually end sbemails!!!(no, this is not because of Strong Sad's comment in the easter egg)I really wish they could have just done a regular email like they did with 100 instead of doing an email that was a lot more like a toon, what with Strong Bad not even getting an email from a real person.Oh well.My biggest concern is that sbemails might be no more.

[metalkombat]

Maybe... just maybe... this wasn't actually the 200th sbemail, since he never actually answered an email. Maybe the real one will be next week.

I think TBC don't like making these "special" toons. This email and Trogday 08 both parodied what we would really want from them, so maybe they just want to do regular toons and sbemails without the fuss of a bicentennial whatnot? They probably would have been more comfortable doing a regualr one, altho this one was freakin hilarious.

[Silent]

Nah, there'll just the New Paper. After all, it's the New Paper. Can't blame the New Paper for stupidity. Cut it some slack.

[Sterrance]

I hope The Paper is coming back. The New Paper is a filthy traitor, he belongs with Homestar.

[DarkShadow667]

I got fwoa hundred Fwaty on The Email is for Homestar and Strong bad gets upset and dumps mountain dew on Homestar's lappy... after finding out Homestar answers his own set o emails and also makes it into Strong Bad's emails disguised as others, or on someone's pills.

[YoshiAngemon]

I think some of us should write to Strong Bad, and ask him HOW The Paper was able to come back. I'll bet it was thanks to the repairing talents of Bubs' Concession Stand.

[SidGarcia]

Nah, I think it's like with "The Geddup' Noise".
It's the Paper's cousin.

[wisp]

yeah, it's long lost twin brother..

[Rather Dashing]

Psh.

Genetic clone with The Paper's old consciousness transferred into the brain.

[DarkShadow667]

the Lil' brudder.

[dentbuds]

ITS HERE. it wasn't from me. BUT ITS STILL HERE. and someone in this thread predicted that the old paper would come back, AND IT DID!!! and the poopsmith broke his vow of silence it was so awesome.

[DarkShadow667]

ITS HERE. it wasn't from me. BUT ITS STILL HERE. and someone in this thread predicted that the old paper would come back, AND IT DID!!! and the poopsmith broke his vow of silence it was so awesome.


And for the second part, it was With "They Might Be Giants" singing the song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?1/1?!!! awesomeness!

[Jake]

I like that Homestar's computer is called the Happy.

[someguyfromazoo]

ITS HERE. it wasn't from me. BUT ITS STILL HERE. and someone in this thread predicted that the old paper would come back, AND IT DID!!!

Yeah. That was me.

[Tester Scott]

Yeah. That was me.

Yeah but you just throw out all kinds of crazy ideas so one had to stick eventually. Much like Edgar Allen Poe's writing.

[Shambling Corporate Poster]

Yeah but you just throw out all kinds of crazy idea so one had to stick eventually. Much like Edgar Allen Poes writing.
Lol. So... let's see... Poopysmith broke his vow of silence... Homestar has an email... TMBG makes an awesome comeback... MOUNTAIN DEW makes an awesome comeback... YAY!

I do wish, though, that we could download that song that starts playing when SB starts the Mountain Dew on the Happy 486.

[GENERICGUY]

MADNESS! Strong Bad burned the old paper.... or did he? (DUN DUN DUNNNNN)

...yeah, he did. :P
hey you were right. Good job

[deadlinejon]

I do wish, though, that we could download that song that starts playing when SB starts the Mountain Dew on the Happy 486.

you just read my mind!:D i need this email and that song on my flashcard! and my comp of course...

am i one of the only people who love this email? i mean, it was awesome.:D

[MrQuizmo]

I personally really enjoyed the e-mail, or lack thereof. I've been watching SBEmails since... Englilish Paper, and I like that something semi-big happened on this 200th e-mail. There was thunder and Homestar helped me find public landmarks with surprisingly clean bathrooms.

I'm not sure how much I'd like HREmails though. I liked that Homestar would just show up in e-mails, doing his particular brand of nothing.

Being said, sbemail 200 turned the whole thing on its' ear, and whether it's episode 201 or episode 001 come a few weeks, I'm still gonna be watching.

[metalkombat]

sbemail 200 turned the whole thing on its' ear,

Ahh, Strong Sad's quote that maybe refers to the fact that no major character in the homestarrunner universe actaully has ears. (The only characters that have ears [that we've seen, anyway] so far are Crack Stuntman and the Videlectrix guys... if you can call them characters.)

[tabacco]

Er... I think more likely he was using what's actually a pretty common saying.

[Androu1]

Holy *censored*!

This e-mail was crazy and awesome.I dislike how they made it look like there won't be any more sbemails...ouch,that would suck so much...

[metalkombat]

Er... I think more likely he was using what's actually a pretty common saying.

*sigh* Yeah, probably. I read into things too deeply.

[MrQuizmo]

Besides, Strong Bad has to have ears. How else could Tiny Handed Strong Bad and our modern day hero have entered the "Dig to China with your Ears" contest...

Which happens to be the second or third worst contest I've ever heard of.

Now, I need to go make me a real fruit smoothie.

And stop quoting SBEmails.

[wisp]

I dislike how they made it look like there won't be any more sbemails...ouch,that would suck so much...
it is interesting that so many interpret it that way. actually, the only thing from number 200, that may keep strong bad from making more sbemail-shows, is the missing of a paper. the old one got burned after beating up or even "killing" the new paper. the thread of hremails taking over is no more, since homestar won't be able to answer anything with that dew'med computer of his.
something i missed?
anyway, you could use sbemail 200 as an ending, but you don't need to...i guess.

[The Tire]

If the paper was burned and came back once he can probably do it again. but the way it ended made me sad like there were no more sbemails to come as mentioned above. Also did anyone find anything on strong sad's blog cause I haven't I think that was just a joke maybe.

[Redrot]

BANNED FOR CONTENT

[Senor Cardgage Man]

I wish The Paper would make a permanent return. It's nice to see it in SBCG4AP and in the 200th Sbemail, but it'd be awesome for it to return on the website. I hate New Paper, he can stay with Homestar's Hremails for all I care.

[YoshiAngemon]

Yes, we all know how much the New Paper is horrible. I mean, it's not like there'll be a THIRD Paper that would actually be The Paper's relative, called "Scrap Paper."

[someguyfromazoo]

Oh god, what would there be on the scrap paper? Math Problems? Figuring out puzzles? Love Poems?:p

[DarkStar Runner]

"Save the last e-mail for Strong Bad..."

"Breeng dra little childrens hoooommee."

[MikeyJC]

The 200th email was pretty sweet, but the whole thing about the end of sbemails is kinda 'eh' for me.
I mean, yeah, it would suck pretty badly if sbemails disappeared, but then there is prolly more normal 'toons, which I usually enjoy a lot more. And it's called homestarrunner.com, not strongbad.com. =P

Although maybe that wouldn't be a bad thing.

p.s. There was a clicky-link on The Paper to email SB, so I think it's very likely there'll be more.

[The Tire]

I don't think they would stop something that is so popular so I am no longer worried

The site hasn't been updated yet this week (last update was last Thursday, with new quote, fanstuff, and sketchbook... there wasn't even a podcast)... could this possibly mean?....

No. Not the end of the site. You paranoid over-analyzers.

I still think that they're working on the REAL 200th email (altho the 200th one would still be on the site, most likely). It would probably somehow explain how the previous 200th sbemail was fake, and then continue to show an even better, new email actually answered. I don't really know how else they would recover from this. I'm almost positive they're not going to follow through with hremails.

Eh? Eh? Any takers?

Ok after watching that my brain esploded. Poopsmith Braking his Vow of Silence, HRmails, The old paper!

SO MANY BRAIN BREAKING QUESTIONS! *Jumps out window*

But seriously I think this is in the the top 5 of awesome Sbemails.....

"The real 200th email." The real 200th email? Really?

[16_BIT_MARIO1]

You know, if the Brothers Chaps were really going to kill off the site, I think they would have told someone first. Nobody from the Telltale Team seems to be confirming/denying it.

[YoshiAngemon]

Let's just wait until next week, or the week after that. This way, we'll really know. I mean, I sent some Deviations of mine to the Brothers Chaps for the Weekly Fanstuffs. HOOYAH!

[metalkombat]

"The real 200th email." The real 200th email? Really?

*sigh* Probably not. "Hope for the best, and expect the worst," I guess. I mean, another 200th sbemail directly after the first one would be just about the best, right? No? Yeah. Probably not. It would kind of lose it's authenticity and excitement.

This has been metalkombat, putting down yet another of his own stupid ideas. I hope to see you again for the next episode of "Maybe Schizophrenic?: The Tale of a Boy and His Mindless Ramblings on Multiple Forums".

Still no podcast for the second week in a row, and it's almost Friday... And it's getting pretty close to the end of the week, meaning a lack of quote/fanstuff/sketchbook update this week.

[Molokov]

Could have

This has been a public service announcement on behalf of the grammar police.

[YoshiAngemon]

Well, it's not like they'll make a new Hremail section, with Homestar singing "A scwoll is a good time for evewybody."

[Strongsadioware]

Dear Homestar,
Me and all of my young college friends that live in my dorm were just wondering if you wanted to come over and have a pillow fight sometime because we think you are sooooooo very cool.

and all the rest of use

You're going to break a couple of Homestar Runner-loving college girls's necks? You are a sick, twisted person.

(But if they really did end sbemails, which I highly doubt, I would gladly join you in burning them at the stake in the middle of town square.) (Yeah, not really. I'm not that ridiculous and/or murderous. Maybe I would dream about it, though...)

[someguyfromazoo]

I'd join, god only knows the horros I'd come up with.
Maybe make them run away from a madman dressed like the "Freaking Duck" while the girls were wearing L'ectric Boots, handicapping their mobility!

[Darkblade07]

I actually thought it was probably some guy(thinking it would be funny to play a joke on SB)but I would still break each of there necks,one by one

[16_BIT_MARIO1]

I would quote Max. "I've been authorized by the jurisdiction of whatever city this is to punish you in any way I can think of!" Then I would launch them into space and force them to sit through terrible movies with two robots.

[YoshiAngemon]

I guess Strong Bad is now a fully-fledged TellTale Games Employee, ever since the Happy's long overdue, allegedly citrus flavored payback was taken, and the hremails that existed along side the sbemails had stopped, alongside the sbemails, themselves (for a while, at least until after SBCG4AP is over).

In my opinion, these (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/17/Gyromite_ROB.jpg) guys (http://rightbraind.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/pixar_walle.jpg) would be better. One can only make retarded beeping noises, while the other can only say 2 words.

But still no 'toon.

the info on the next Limozeen concert.

They should really go on tour.

[Pinkfreud]

I haven't seen all of the concert on youtube. Have they done any Peacey P. appearances live? If not, they should. Also, we need another music CD. I like Strong Bad Sings, but there's been so many songs since then that another is needed.

Strong Bad sings vol.2!!!That would rock!!!

Last update to the site -

New quote, fanstuff, and sketch. But still no 'toon. (Or podcast...)

By the way, the sequel to Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits probably wouldn't be called Strong Bad Sings 2. MY best guess is that they would use the name of one of their mock cd's from the 'toons (ex. Feed the Childrens), but as far as I (or anyone but TBC) know, it could be called Songs From HomestarRunner.com. For now, we can just sit here and hope that this is the real reason they haven't been putting anything but gimmicks up on the site...

[The Tire]

DNA evidence end music: You guys I figured out who sent SB email 200 it was Homestar!:eek:It has to be him he set the whole thing up because he wanted his website back SBemails took over. 1. He said SB wouldn't make alive it to distract people also everyone was distracted by email 200. 2.made the fake hremails + email address. 3. set up the computer room. 4.He sent the email. 4.Made TBC use the email and waited. But was so nervous and stupid he forgot his entire plan. ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha it was really me or was it

Not exactly what I was talking about...

So, wait. The moon is dressed up as Strong Bad, and a cow is eating it? Man, that has no potential. Now, if a cow were dressed up as the moon, and Strong Bad were trying to eat it, that may be semi-amusing.

[YoshiAngemon]

Who would they be dressed up as? I could imagine two of them dress up as the same thing and that somehow leads to their death.

Well, the Ugly One might as well dress up as Meg Griffin, since she IS ugly, with and without clothes, and there would be a major death done to her, for the crime of being Meg.
