Started as a goof by two brothers in 2000, Homestar Runner has become a true internet phenomenon and straight-up cultural icon. Homestar Runner himself is the loveable, armless buffoon for which the site is named. Homestar, Strong Bad, his sidekick The Cheat, and a legion of whimsical characters that comprise the Homestar Universe are featured in a hodge-podge of 3 minute cartoons, songs, commercial parodies and random funny things. There are even cartoons and games that are "created by" the characters themselves (such as Strong Bad's Teen Girl Squad).
Every few months I become obsessed with HSR. I watch everything on the site 5 times over and then tire of it and forget about it, only to re-discover it all over again months later. Guess where we're at right now?
I could waste your time rambling on about everything great on Homestar Runner or you could just go there and see for yourself. So what are you waiting for already?
Feel free to ask what my favorites are if you are overwhelmed. Enjoy.

Wow, this a new site for me, Zee. I just watched "Teen Girl Squad 13" and loved it. I especially liked the short bit with the hip-hoppers. Great link!
Be sure to check outthe Cheat's Theme Song and the Ballad of the Sneak (#1 Summer Jam from 1936).
Burninating the people and the thatched roof cottages!!!
It's so nice for me to have found this blog of yours, it's so interesting. I sure hope and wish that you take courage enough to pay me a visit in my PALAVROSSAVRVS REX!, and plus get some surprise. My blog is also so cool! Don't think for a minute that my invitation is spam and I'm a spammer. I'm only searching for a public that may like or love what I write.
Feel free off course to comment as you wish and remember: don't take it wrong, don't think that this visitation I make is a matter of more audiences for my own blogg. No. It's a matter of making universal, realy universal, all this question of bloggs, all the essential causes that bring us all together by visiting and loving one another.
You must not feel obliged to come and visit me. An invitation is not an intimation. Also know that if you click on one of my ads I'm promised to earn 8 cents for that: I would feel happy if you did click it, but once again you're totaly free to do what ever you want. That's the whole beauty of it all.
I think it's to UNITE MANKIND that we became bloggers! Don't see language as an obstacle but as a challenge (though you can use the translater BabelFish at the bottom of my page!) and think for a minute if I and the rest of the world are not expecting something like a broad cumplicity. Remenber that pictures talk also. Open your heart and come along!!!!!
Oh wow, I haven't looked at HSR for a couple of years! I wonder what those crazy kids are up to. For a while there much of my vocabulary was derived from that little website.
I'm on my way right now to see what's new with the old gang!
And please tell me you've listened to William Shatner's album by now.
melissavina: I've only listened to it via clips on iTunes so far, but once I heard the cover of Pulp's "Common People," I was sold. I'm working on getting the whole thing.
