there's a college radio in my town where the guy hosting it one time had a really bad stutter, but i really rooted for him because i felt like he had Big Dreams but this was the closest thing he'd ever come to reaching them
I don't know why, but "Why thank you Senator." is one of my favorite quotes from this e-mail. Maybe it's just the sheer randomness of it, but I've taken to saying it whenever someone says an insult. XD
@@tmawd20 Yeah! I just recently got into it. I kept hearing the title "Homestar Runner" in other works (for example, in Baldi's Basics, there is a chalkboard that literally says "Look! A Homestar Runner reference!"), but it wasn't until... idk, a few months ago that I actually started watching it. And I am HOOKED! I just bought the Everything Else Volumes 1-3 DVD!
"Why thank you, Senator." I like to think that this was Strong Sad's attempt to finally get back at the extremely long list of nicknames that Strong Bad has for him, but Senator was the only thing he could come up with.
2:22 I JUST realized that Homestar is wearing the tote bag that Marzipan said she never got. I thought he was just wearing a bag on his head for no reason. Which, to be fair, would have been perfectly normal for this cartoon.
I still remember the joy in my heart when one of my local radio stations used "Don't you touch that, ZABITTABLOUGH!" "Zabittablough?" "Don't you ever make me do that again!" as one of their bumpers.
@@kebm1388 smh means “shaking my head” so essentially you’re saying “shaking my head my head” (That came out of the random, I didn’t think I’d actually do that)
In our younger days, I'm sure a lot of us would have made fun of Strong Sad for that. But these days... I don't know, having such a laid-back activity for an hour sounds kind of pleasant. (Except I can't do calligraphy. From what I can tell, it is borderline impossible for left-handed people to do good calligraphy.)
Kinda jarring to see Strong Bad's rants being so real-world accurate instead of the usual marshmallow-dragon-festooned-with-hand-grenades type deal, right down to Homestar drunk on scotch at 7AM and throwing highball glasses at the radio.
When I was a kid I didn't totally appreciate the college radio one. Now at 22 my radio is keenly tuned to U of M campus radio and OHHHH MAAANNNNNNN I can't stop thinking about how accurate this describes it. Even the chanting is real.
One of my favourite bits that comes to mind is in the cartoon Senorial Day, when Strong Bad comes up to Senor Cardgage, and asks him to throw his football. Senor grabs it, raises it, and then just puts it down. Kills me every time!
Armed forces network (military run radio stations on over seas bases) sound similar to college radio. They let any bewildered enlisted member with a decent voice in the DJ booth. The acting in the commercials is just painful to listen to as well.
@@Tadesan Well, it was sorta realistic. Adrian Cronauer reputedly was one of the ones who was good at his job, which is why the implication would be that the others were not.
Lmao, so true about the college radio. Especially when you get the guys on the air who you can tell are stoned out of their heads or are nervous as all hell. Kinda makes a guy feel sorry for them.
Uhhhhh. Is Homestar an alcoholic? I just made the connection that he's wearing Marzipans's tote bag on his head, and drinking hard liquor at 7am in the morning. Are you okay buddy?
"Dead air. Um. Dead air." soooo sums up college radio Lol it happened to a few of my classmates last year. One time there was 5 minutes of dead air while someone went for a smoke lol
"The fish was delish and it made quite a dish" is a phrase that comes to my mind whenever I'm eating something even as remotely reminiscent of fish as chicken.
I just realized, after having seen this dozens of times over the course of my entire life, that Marzipan never got her tote bag because Homestar stole it and is wearing it on his head. 😂 I swear everything on HR has infinite rewatchability
"that fish was delish and it made quite a dish" and "that's the way the cookie crumbles", for some reason have stuck in my head since HR was in it's prime! I still wear the HR T-shirts! #homestarrunner
Same with military radio stations in other countries. My husband and I are in Japan and the only station in English is run by the military, the DJs (for lack of a better word) are lousy and they think they only music is top 40 pop, ugh
The thought of Homestar standing in his living room at 7 in the morning with a public radio tote bag on his head, throwing a glass of whiskey at the radio will keep me entertained for hours at a time.
I sent an email almost exactly like this Word for Word the week before this episode aired. I’m still convinced partially that they merged this with another
The best part of this email, and, possibly the best of any email is Strongsad as "The Deathly Pallor" I love it when he teleports of up real close going "THE STUUURGE!"
ATTENTION EVERYONE! This email did not predict the Tide Pod Challenge! It came out fifteen years ago, long before that. The Portly Washboy thing is about how children many decades ago used to eat paste because it smelled and tasted like mint. Thank you.
The public radio imitation was extremely accurate, at least for the news programs... I always listen to my local public radio station, but it's usually for the stuff like Radiolab, This American Life, Snap Judgement, or Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me. Not so much the news...
Jadeite Nephrite If you want a whole station of stuff like that, PRX exists. It’s on SiriusXM and TuneIn. It’s all sorts of stuff from public radio around the US.
Strong Bad is SO right at 0:45, I used to listen to Nights With Alice Cooper on the radio years ago and I imagined him being somewhere in his 40's or 50's with blonde hair but I was WAY wrong he looks much older then how he sounds and looks like he came right out of a horror movie
Well Alice Cooper's music got mainstream in the 70's, so it would be quite impressive if he were still in his 50's. Plus being a rock musician, I'd wager drugs/smoke/alcohol probably didn't do him any favors.
Yes. I'm glad I'm not the only one who imagined a blonde guy, although I pictured younger. Actually, if you've listened to his show he wasn't really a druggie or quite as party hard as most rock stars are made out to be. Alice Cooper tells stories about other musicians and famous people that he knew/knows and it's interesting hearing what different people were really like. I made that sound way more boring than it is. Basically Alice Cooper and his band are their characters from Spinal Tap, the movie. The movie I saw after years of his radio show.
Wait...you listened to Alice Cooper, who's essentially the grandfather of the goth look, and you pictured him as a blonde? X3 In all seriousness, you should check out his music. He's a landmark rock artist. He's also the guy to whom Wayne and Garth bow and chant "We're not worthy!" in Wayne's World.
Blehehey it's the deathly pallor coming at you on the Monday 9:02 WA3D FM "The Sturge". Coming up next, we got some hot new tracks from Jubahoo Blabyhoo!
In college, you recorded everything you could in cassette tape. We didn't have free downloads, so if you wanted to listen to something again without buying the album, you had to have a spry hand with the record button.
I just remembered: some years ago I was actually listening to a college radio station, on the way to work. The people who manned that station were exactly like this example was, but not only that?- I no joke distinctly remember that they actually *did* play an hour or so of chanting. Maybe two or more because it was still on when I came back from my shift that day, only for it to switch back on towards 'normal' alternative underground rock music. This happened on more than one occasion too. But it wasn't a regular daily thing either. I have no idea who was behind the programming of that station but I salute you sir or madam. 😂👌 Thanks for broadening my horizons.
Homestar: alwight, squakbox! Shut it up about the fish alweady! Strong bad: Thats the way, the cookie crumbles! Homestar: Highball!!! (glass shatters) XD
"BLUHEHEHEY! ITS SPENEVILY PALOR COMIN AT YOU ON THE MINI 9023D MIDNIGHT FM MISTERS.... COMIN UP NEXT WE GOT SOME HOT NEW TRACKS SOME DOUBLE O BALLEYHOO!!!1!1!!!!!!!!!" :-X "Dont you ever make me do that again!"
I think this was my favorite StrongBad e-mail simply due to its accuracy. I was in college when this came out and could never listen to college radio the same way again
In a way, I do all four of these at once. I do the drive time morning show on a public radio station owned by a college on which most of the music I play is from the distant past.
Oh the morning drivetime show. There's one broadcast in my area called the Two Guys Named Chris. Unfortunately, it's broadcast on the only station with decent coverage of the city. What is wrong with playing music while people are driving?
Something about Strong Sads eyes expanding when he goes "Wah HEY HEY!!!" Just cracks me up. Also glad to see his DJ name is "The Deathly Pallor", he gets some real mileage out of that name.
And today on Capitol Hill, the fish was delish, and according to UN Secretary Councilmembers, it made...quite a dish. You are listening to member supported...public radio. {muzak plays}
The impression of college radio is crushingly accurate.
Yup. I ran the college radio from 8 am to 9 every Wednesday. One hour of pretty much what you heard here.
chanting?

And dead air

the "High ball! *smashes glass*" has lived rent free in my head for years
Any time I drink a highball that scene runs through my head with every sip.
"Don't eat the laundry detergent" turned out to be alarmingly prescient advice.
2:22 I JUST realized that Homestar is wearing the tote bag that Marzipan said she never got. I thought he was just wearing a bag on his head for no reason.

Back in my day I made fun of Strong Sad for being everything I hated.
Then I more or less became Strong Sad, hence my profile picture.
I could listen to college radio SB for hours.
I laugh every time I hear it.
You'll have to put up with all the chanting.
Kinda jarring to see Strong Bad's rants being so real-world accurate instead of the usual marshmallow-dragon-festooned-with-hand-grenades type deal, right down to Homestar drunk on scotch at 7AM and throwing highball glasses at the radio.
John Durvin why would homestar being drunk ever at 7am be realistic?
You'll understand when you're older.

You're an idiot.

when strongsad hits the record button after "...an hour of chanting" starts, i lost it. this show was so genius
The "hour of chanting" joke is my favorite gag from Homestarrunner. It makes me burst out laughing every single time without fail.
One of my favourite bits that comes to mind is in the cartoon Senorial Day, when Strong Bad comes up to Senor Cardgage, and asks him to throw his football. Senor grabs it, raises it, and then just puts it down.
Kills me every time!
Yeah you do.
An hour of chanting, after which everyone washes their throats down with lemonade
They want you to join the Kregs! 😁

I would like this comment, but I want the number to stay at 69.
As someone who has been in radio since this skit came out (I was in college radio in '04), I can attest that it's deadly accurate in every way.
OMG I have watched this email countless times and I JUST noticed Strong Sad hit record when the chanting comes on the radio. Lol!
As an adult who religiously checked homestarrunner as a youth, I could 100% support this picking up steam again.
