I've loved Homestar since I first saw it a little over a year ago. I bet most WWDN-ers already know, but if I enlighten just one monkey, it's been a good day. Posted by: wil on February 3, 2003 04:45 PMcute... thanks wil! Posted by: ellen on February 3, 2003 04:48 PMWell, you've enlightened THIS monkey. And, lo, it's been a good day! Posted by: Tom on February 3, 2003 04:50 PMRemember to read Strongbad's email!!! Posted by: hal97 on February 3, 2003 04:52 PMUm, yeah... I'm clueless and about to be enlightened. :) Off to check out homestarrunner.com. ~Janece Posted by: Janece on February 3, 2003 04:52 PMWhy does Strongbad never to an adult film? Posted by: Mark "Bog" Henessy-Barrett on February 3, 2003 04:53 PMWil, Wil, Wil, whatever am I going to do with you! You've taught me so much about how to waste time on the computer. Thanks! Posted by: Eva on February 3, 2003 04:54 PMWelcome to Strongbadia! Population: Tire! Posted by: Fraize on February 3, 2003 04:56 PMBest. 404. Ever. If only it were a real 404, though... Posted by: Radiofreewill on February 3, 2003 04:59 PMYou should probally put a link button on your site Wil :P Posted by: RibsinBacon on February 3, 2003 05:03 PMCheers Wil, you've just loaded me up with yet another homework-stalling technique. Posted by: des on February 3, 2003 05:05 PMA One that isn't cold is barely a One at all. Posted by: Timbo on February 3, 2003 05:09 PMOh boy... *goes and checks it out...bookmarks it..comes back* ROFL...another enlightened monkey here. Thanks Wil! :) Posted by: Moonie on February 3, 2003 05:17 PMYou could make it a link on your side bar. I've been to that place before, but I've forgotten how fooken funny it was. :) Posted by: SpiderWebb on February 3, 2003 05:21 PMI've been a huge fan of Strongbad for quite some time now. His emails are some of the funniest things ever. Posted by: Joseph on February 3, 2003 05:28 PMlets get ready to LOOK SO GOOD! Posted by: sarah on February 3, 2003 05:30 PMStrongbad Rules!! Posted by: Jeffery Borchert on February 3, 2003 05:36 PMI don't get it, so it must suck. Posted by: Sharksandwich on February 3, 2003 05:51 PMHeh that was cool wil thanks... I'll have to check the rest of it out tomorrow ;) Posted by: RavenBlue on February 3, 2003 05:52 PMI figured that most WWDNers were Farkers too and therefore already knew about "Homestar Wunner" but I guess not. Good call on linking it then. Posted by: KeplerNiko on February 3, 2003 05:54 PMhttp://www.resexcellence.com/hack_html_03/01-30-03.shtml Posted by: Hopperr on February 3, 2003 05:59 PMThanks for the link, Wil! Some silly, funny stuff there. Being a first timer at the site, I clicked the link for First Time Here? I loved the Homestarrunner trying to get the intro right and having to do lots of takes - I don't suppose that seems at all familiar to an actor, eh? ;-) Thanks for the enlightenment! Posted by: Dave Westbay on February 3, 2003 06:42 PMFor some reason there was a People Magazine on our dining table, and Strong Bad was in it on a T-shirt some guy who lost a bunch of weight was wearing (in the After photo). Posted by: Eric on February 3, 2003 06:45 PMI'll pay $1.25 for a nude pic of Marzipan. Posted by: Fred Fowler on February 3, 2003 06:48 PMYou worry me, Wil Wheaton. You reeeeeealy worry me! >;} So now all someone needs to do, is put H*R on the Enterprise... Strongbad would make a great Klingon... Heh. Now I am starting to worry myself. Gah! Where the hell is my prozac?! Posted by: WebNut! on February 3, 2003 07:12 PMIt's dot net!? I see you have resorted to distraction now Unca Wilie. You can't fool us...WHERE IS YOUR BOOK?!!! [sing song] EVERYBODY>>>>Where is the book?
See what you did to me , Wil? I had to tape Joe Millionaire so I could play with this site. Hmmmm, I need a life, don't I? ;-) Posted by: Angelwwolf on February 3, 2003 07:44 PMlol that was funny :D Posted by: Jacob on February 3, 2003 07:52 PMWil,
Strong Bad for President! Hey, it can't be any worse than the choices we're normally given... Posted by: Phillip on February 3, 2003 08:39 PMOoh! I've been into the homestar runner site for about....a year, I think. Most of my friends just don't get it, but when I click on something like Strong Bad's email or Marzipan's answering machine, sometimes I laugh so hard I almost have an aneurysm..... Posted by: April Perea on February 3, 2003 08:54 PMArrgh..I hate monkeys only to find myseld becoming a monkey!!! Thanks, Will....really... Posted by: Rohan the Thunder Chick on February 3, 2003 08:58 PMOh . . . Hey Wil. How long have you been standing thewe? Posted by: Timothy on February 3, 2003 09:33 PMI'm still confused by the title: It's Dot Net! I hope you don't mind this plea for info., Wil.. Tim I LOVE that site!! Strongbad emails crack me up everytime. Comic book, Tragdor and Japanese cartoon are my faves at the moment. Ive downloaded the songs, too. =o) *hits the post button singing "everybody everybody"* Posted by: GreenEyes The Official CAT of Violence on February 3, 2003 09:41 PMThe ironies are amazing I just found out about this and was gonna post it.....Darn....Well i posted some humor about a monkey instead. Posted by: Ben Lantow on February 3, 2003 09:41 PMI'm so glad to see you finally put a link to that one Will! I wrote an email to ya once with that I think cause I thought you'd like it. A year you've been reading it though... thats longer than me anyways! :) Oh and about the title for those that still don't get it. Click on the 'first time here' button on the site. Posted by: Squints on February 3, 2003 09:46 PMHey Wil, have you written to strongbad? They'd HAVE to publish your e-mail if its coming from you. They'd prolly get strongbad to beat you up klingon style or with a laser just for kicks. Posted by: zabaglione on February 3, 2003 09:57 PMI luuuuuuuuuuuurve HSR! Rock on, Wil. Posted by: Clara on February 3, 2003 10:01 PMThis is exactly what we need during this time of sadness. Some well deserved humor in our lives. Thank You Wil Posted by: terry on February 3, 2003 10:31 PM
Some of you might remember that Robert over at Retrocrush did an interview with the creator: http://www.retrocrush.com/archive2/homestar/default.htm Posted by: RetroRandy on February 3, 2003 11:36 PMi'm quietly awestruck and quite confused, wil. thanks anyway. eric Posted by: eky on February 4, 2003 12:29 AMSee? This is why I check out WWDN every morning. Homestar Runner is the funniest thing I’ve seen in months! “guitar” was the first Strong Bad email I read. I haven’t gotten to the other ones yet, ‘cause that first one made me pee myself. This does not look good for Homestar Wunner... hehe. I love that site. Sadly I did not get my much desired Pom Pom shirt for xmas since their store sold out in December. Sigh. Soon, it will be mine. Yes, it will be mine! :) Only 6 more days until the next email... Posted by: mandy on February 4, 2003 12:33 AMOh, and some of my fave emails for newcomers to the site: Check them out. :) Posted by: mandy on February 4, 2003 12:37 AMSTRONGBAaaaaD! My friend Justin (who apparently knows the Brothers Chaps) introduced me to Homestarrunner.com around Halloween 2001. It just keeps on getting better. :D Total awesomeness. Posted by: Krissbeth on February 4, 2003 12:57 AMI was the only person in my art class to recognize Strong Bad on my teacher's sweatshirt. Now she says I'm guaranteed and A and we have our own little conversations in the middle of class about the latest email every Monday! :D Posted by: MagikSpork on February 4, 2003 01:00 AMOh....my....god....sides....splitting....must.... This is the funniest thing ever....well since i rediscovered the word boobs at least. Ha, boobs *giggles* Posted by: EnglishBen on February 4, 2003 04:10 AMThe system is down. I hate having jokes explained to me: My sister introduced me to this character. My favorite is the Techno episode. ROFL. :) Posted by: Anne on February 4, 2003 05:38 AMOops. Looks like I mixed up the characters. Homestar was cute too. :) Posted by: Anne on February 4, 2003 05:41 AMMore things to do at work besides my job... Thanks Wil! Posted by: darkhorse43 on February 4, 2003 06:29 AM"Why you lazy crap for crap!" ;-) Just a few days ago I received my Strong Bad hooded sweatshirt. And soon, I must go to my JAERB. *giggles* Posted by: ezzvaldez on February 4, 2003 06:37 AMLove the StrongBad e-mail! Look out! Here comes Trogdor the Burninator! Posted by: Taurik on February 4, 2003 06:51 AMniiice... Posted by: Author - dufh on February 4, 2003 06:56 AMThe convergence of two of my favourite sites is sureal! Monday morning coffee at my desk is worthwhile just to see the latest StrongBad email. So Wil - what are you gonna do with those swiss cake rolls? Posted by: Ian on February 4, 2003 09:05 AMSTRONGBAD RULES!! Posted by: Lisa marie on February 4, 2003 09:17 AMSTRONG BAD!! I have a fish named Strong Bad. He rocks. Everybody! Everybody! Posted by: Pmacca on February 4, 2003 09:48 AMThe "It's Dot Net!" thing was from one of the Flash cartoons that Homestar did... they were making an advertisement for the site and he was supposed to say "Welcome to Homestarrunner.net" and he kept saying "homestarrunner.com" and they would say 'off camera' "it's dot NET" so he said "Welcome to homestarrunner.com. It's Dot Net!" :D Posted by: Maagic on February 4, 2003 10:48 AMYou can get to the "it's dot net" if you click on "First Time Here?" on the main page. I can't believe Sharksandwich takes time out from his busy schedule of dissing homestarrunner to ... dis homestarrunner on other sites. Hehe. Posted by: SuperJen on February 4, 2003 11:03 AMLOL! cute. Posted by: mcfoo on February 4, 2003 11:19 AMBefore I comment on the entry, you must go here, anyone: Man, i've been neglecting homestarrunner to come here! thanks for reminding me how sweet that site is. I love the halloween specials, and the marshmellow commercials. Flushy Push marshmellows! And the one where Strong Bad interviews Homestar is hilarious. Posted by: Erin on February 4, 2003 12:04 PMHehe! My co-workers and I spend every Monday night watching the new StrongBad emails! Make sure you look for the easter egg in each one. Posted by: Olivia on February 4, 2003 12:31 PMCheck it out Wil. Slashdotter's rated it +5:Funny ;-) Of course, you probably won't agree though. http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=52785&cid;=5224979 Posted by: Slashdot on February 4, 2003 01:26 PMCheck me out. No, seriously, Check me OOOUUUUTTT! Hi, my name is match and I don't want to light. Hi, my name is wood and I don't want to burn. Hi! MY NAME IS FIRE AND I'M NOT COMING TO YOUR STUPID PARTY! Posted by: Beth on February 4, 2003 01:40 PMSalut wil,je suis heureux de pouvoir naviguer sur ton site web à mon grand étonnement.Je pense que tu ne pourras peut-etre pas lire ce message qui vient de si loin,mais je voulais te dire un mot à propos du film culte que tu as tourné dans ton adolecense,STAND BY ME,seulement dire que se film m'a ému,et l'est encore,car il m'a replongé un peu dans mon histoire d'ados qui est un peu l'histoire de ton film...... The Homestar Runner web site was actually down recently, so really, http://www.homestarrunner.com/systemisdown.html should not say "404" at all (that code is reserved for items that are not found by a working web server). Posted by: Brian on February 4, 2003 02:43 PMCheck out today's Onion, Wil. You're minding everyone's cats! Posted by: Nick Blackmore on February 4, 2003 03:03 PMWhat I love most about HR, besides the fact that the cartoons are hilarious, is that there are all sorts of easter eggs hidden there. A whole bunch of the e-mails have hidden links in them...Some more than one...My personal fav is Strong Sad's blog. Posted by: B on February 4, 2003 03:25 PMi like monkeys! i LOVE enlightened monkeys! Posted by: morgan on February 4, 2003 03:29 PMI don't get it. I looked through most of the stuff on the site twice...I stll don't get it. Am I hopelessly square, or just really dense? Posted by: blewismaltz on February 4, 2003 06:00 PMI was wondering when this was going to happen. Sooner or later all of my bookmarks will be connected in some way or another... Posted by: Kurt Dresner on February 4, 2003 06:48 PMI learnt about HSR a little over a week ago through a posting to my LUG's mailing list. Now, Slashdot and Wil are hyping it. Will I never be ahead of a trend? Posted by: Artie on February 4, 2003 09:07 PMHOLY CRAP! Posted by: Angie on February 4, 2003 10:46 PMhey, you go to that site too. it really is great, though i've never had one of my e-mails read :( Posted by: Aubrie on February 4, 2003 11:19 PMJust Great! You just lowered my IQ about 35 points and I don't have any points to spare. Posted by: keith in MOntana on February 5, 2003 06:40 AMoh gawd, i love homestarrunner... well, not really homestar runner, but i love strongbad. he is so kickass. go look at his video for "to the limit" done by the cheat. omg. whew. okay, that's enough for now. loves. Posted by: sailortilt on February 5, 2003 08:30 AMEverybody! Everybody! This monkey has been enlightened. Posted by: Groonk on February 5, 2003 10:39 AMActually, it's not "dot net" it's "dot com". It comes from the "first time here" animation. Homestar refers to the site as "Homestarrunner.net" and the director says "uh...it's 'dot com'", and Homestar says "Oh. Wight. Welcome to Homestarrunner.net. It's DOT COM." I know! Can you believe it? m. Posted by: matt on February 5, 2003 04:47 PMWas this originally a knock off of some entertainment module? Posted by: Joshua on February 5, 2003 05:44 PMNice, gotta love Strong Bad Emails. All you can really say to that is Throgdor. ^^ Anyway, I was supprized to see you on the X3D infomercial. I am sorry, that looked like a really annoing script to work with. But you did a good job. Anyway, just wanted to say "Hi", plus good luck with CSI. Posted by: Makal on February 5, 2003 05:52 PMThe only Strong Bad approved If you love to find the hidden links, The Coolest Posted by: The COolest on February 5, 2003 07:07 PMahh! i just saw this a little while ago. strong bad (i think that's the guy's name lol) rules; and i loved the trogdor short. my fave. Posted by: h on February 6, 2003 01:17 AMOh wow I think this is a GREAT link to show to peo- ...DELETED! Posted by: Blackwolf on February 6, 2003 08:34 AM"'sup my scrollies? You guys are looking good!" Very cute... Who is that anyway? Posted by: Wol'tlh'Q on February 6, 2003 08:04 PMYo Wil, Glad to see that you are still around and working. I saw you on a show the other day, although I can't remember what it was, but it was recent. Kudos! If you like Strong Bad, and I know you do, check out this website: This will get you directly into the web site: If however you want to take the SB quiz to get in, go to this web site: Fight the power! I sent Strongbad an e-mail. Wouldn't it rock if he replied?: Dear Stongbad, Everywhere I turn, I see these bobble head dolls. The thing is, most of them are stupid (except the Mr. T one). I think a Stongbad bobble head would go a long way towards improving the overall quality of this cottage industry. As a matter of fact, I think a Strongbad bobble head would easily win in a fight with any other bobble head. Even Mr. T. Sincerely, Wil Wheaton Wil, Good job on the SB e-mail. I sent one a couple of weeks ago myself. My friend who created the www.the-coolest-stuff-ever.com website has actually been in contact with the Brothers Chaps. They say that they get about 500 e-mails a day for Strong Bad. So the chance of your own e-mail actually getting through is slim to none. Well, let's hope this is the first time that name recognition actually pays off for the good of society. Below is the e-mail that I sent: Dearest Strong Bad, I really like your mask. At least, I hope it is a Are you all gross and pussy under there? Are you 'Night Nevermind the Bullocks, -- Cheers o/~ everybody everybody o/~ I *heart* Strongbad! My friend Sheryl was the first to introduce me to the webpage. Her boyfriend dressed up like Homestarrunner for halloween last year. :) Halloween 2002: Hey Will!! If you liek Strong Bad email check this site out! http://www.the-coolest-stuff-ever.com/tcse/sbe/ It has like all the eggs and a bunch of cool trivia! Posted by: Pablo P. on March 2, 2003 01:45 PMhmm, actually, i killed that site, cdenise! :D the correct link is: http://www.sheryls.net/albums/photos.asp?dir=photos%2Dhalloween&pic;=29 try that! :D Posted by: sheryls on March 27, 2003 06:56 PMhey man, u gotta luv homestarrunner and the gang, i mean, they're just the best and will keep u watchin 4 hours, ya know?
