Given how much humor changes over time, it's amazing how well this stuff has aged, especially for stuff on the internet which at that time was mostly hyper-aggressive trash.
In all fairness, the "hyper-aggressive trash" part hasn't changed much. Though neither has the implied part about it aging badly. Or being bad. Those are also true.
This is what's so great about the homestar universe. This isn't just being done as a 'haha remember our old cartoons?' gag, it's authentic to the experience of other media we had growing up. By the time you got to a show, you had no idea how long it had been going, whether you've missed some old episodes, whether perhaps the earliest stuff is just plain lost or not airing anymore...
I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THAT LASERDISC SONG FOR MONTHS Someone commented it on a video about laserdiscs and I could sorta hear it in my memory but not enough to have closure. So I went looking in old SBemails to find it and got sidetracked because they’re all really entertaining
this sbemail has so many incredible sound bites that have been seared into my brain. "strongest of the bads", "the cheat's playing something on a lazer disc", just the word "lady-ing", "the ramblin' wreck of email check", the list goes on and on
Over the years I've gone to appreciate the brothers willingness to make fun of themselves, especially in their early years of animation. And I like how this sbemail both pays homage and parodies their really old work on the site. Just like how the first two Brady Bunch movies made fun of the show and still managed to be faithful adaptations in order to hold up as movies in the 90s.
"I'm wearing tight pants to accentuate all my .... bubble teas..." When I first watched this, I didn't know what bubble teas were, never heard of them, and never got this joke... until today.
The fact he fell asleep to his own email is a pretty good gag in and of itself, but for him to walk offscreen at the end only to immediately fall asleep again is comedy gold
I don't think so. If you were consumer back in the day, You would spend (tons of) money on something that could record TV and playback rented movies instead of read-only mutant discs. That's why VHS was the thing. People wanted to record TV with biggest capacity and lowest price, so that's why Beta lose format war as well. And I? Still wants to play some Video8's of mine.

Nice call-back to Marshmallow's Last Stand. With The Cheat happening to play it on a laserdisc, I interpret that 1:06 segment as a Powered-By-The-Cheat cartoon that's more elaborate than usual. Man everything is better on the laserdisc.
Stink Man Ooh, that’s actually more accurate than “holy crap”! Let me try! (Ahem) in the word of internet cartoons, Homestar Runner has no COM PA TI SHON!
Homestar, with a fake moustache, explaining how: his "tight pants" extenuate all of his "bubble teas", absolutely slays me. I suspect that I will still find it funny, even in 2062.

I think this actually was the first Strong Bad email I ever saw! I remember being unreasonably distressed by the fact that Strong Bad's face was destroyed in the flashback, especially since it was inexplicably intact in the present. I was, um... 23 at the time... Anyway, now that it's on TH-cam I'm delighted to see a recommendation in the sidebar for a video explaining precisely whatever happened to the LaserDisc!
People were not interested in them over VHS. They did not wanted additional format which was read-only and required another player for it. VHS (as well as Beta and Video8) could do this too, but it could also record programs.
They involved into the laser diskette format of CD, which involved into using a better laser and became DVD, which moved from a red laser to a blue laser and became HD-DVD, which refined to a better blue laser and became Blue-ray, which later got a even better laser that was still in the blue light frequency which is known as 4k Blue-ray.
Ah, Hremail 35. Where Homestar takes Marzipan to watch wrestling. A Classic An Original A Regular A New Original An Old Classic An Isosceles Fish Sandwich Wait, Fish Sandwich?
Strong Bad saying "holy crap" every like 5 seconds is gold parody
“Whatever happened to the Laserdisc?”
2% market penetration and disc rot
Only the Brothers Chaps could parody _themselves_ and make it into this beautiful of a production.
It's weird how desensitized i've been to the fact that strong bad as a character is supposed to be a luchador.
It's a lil spooky just how much the Homestar Runner series has effected my daily vocabulary
Groovy Biology Spoken like a hundredaire
It is spooky. Like a more-different ess.
I know, right? No one ever acknowledges getting the reference. But if anyone ever did, I would be all up ons.
Won’t lie the brothers chap should be in charge of all dictionaries.
Groovy Biology affected*
I've always loved "Ooh, that's resistible."
You see, Stwong Bad? What the luscious ladies really want is a guy that still has a face and head.
Yeah, me too
That's a lot of wrestling mask in Strong Bad's voice
Him saying "Oooh, something I would not.. openly admit" cracks me up
Love when the Chaps are able to laugh at the style of their early work.
I think it’s because they don’t taken themselves too seriously
is that old stuff archived anywhere?
What I love most about Strong Bad passing out during the email is how he clearly forgets what the email was about upon waking up.
He's pretending he forgot
You’re giving him too much credit.
Same here.
Anyone who's seen "Marshmallow's Last Stand" will know how accurate the "flashback" portion of this email cartoon is.
I watched the 1999 pilot episode of Homestar Runner before watching this Strong Bad Email episode.

Well, everyone knows the Homestar Runner. He is a terrific athlete.
"roll that beautiful email footage" is a fantastic joke I never got.
It's a parody of the Bush's Baked Beans commercial line "Roll that beautiful bean footage".
"suppleties" as a contraction between supple and subtleties is just crazy
It's a portmanteau. 🙂
Chad Dickhaut Portmanteau, a word I only know thanks to hrwiki

I can just imagine to torture the chaps suffered through trying to find or remake the Marshmallow's Last Stand models to make this
Couple things:
1) Snoring has never been so funny by itself.
2) Is it me, or was Homestar a lot smarter in the early stuff?
Badger Lord Patrick Yeah, I wish they didn’t dumb down homestar
Badger Lord Patrick there was a lot of stuff changed from the cartoons, like Marzipan actually liked Homestar and Strong Bad was more of a villain
Strong Sad used to be so tired and depressed. Now he’s more industrious but frustrated.
"Tis True, Pom Pom, Tis True" was never finished and was relegated to a DVD bonus feature but I consider it canon for this very reason.
