They even released an album at the height of the site's popularity - "Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits" - that was available at the concert's merchandise table.
Homestar Runner was known for the songs that creators Michael and Mark Chapman wrote for the series, from hair metal ballads under the guise of the band Limozeen to indie anthems under the guise of the band Sloshy. The concert at Venkman's was just that - a concert. There's not an easy answer to that question, and even after attending Homestar Runner's 20th anniversary concert and celebration at Venkman's in Atlanta, I'm not quite sure what makes the site so special, what gave it staying power when other early internet sites like Weebl's Stuff and Happy Tree Friends faded into obscurity - especially nowadays when internet popularity comes and goes so quickly. So why, and how, was it so special? Why did this one website instill in me, and millions of others, an obsessive love that causes me to want to bring up the fact that once, years and years ago, Strong Bad checked one of my emails? The site featured full-length cartoons and games but was probably best known for the ongoing segments where a character named Strong Bad, a brusque character with boxing gloves and a wrestling mask, checked emails from fans.

In time, however, I forgot the password to the old AOL email address that I sent the original email from and, with it, lost any hope of ever proving my claim to cult fame.įor those of you who are not familiar with it, was (and is!) a site that was insanely popular in the early to mid-2000s, based on a children's book starring a character called Homestar Runner. I watched and rewatched favorite cartoons, able to quote them at will to friends who shared my love for the site. Whom could I brag about this to? And would they even care? I chose to stay quiet to avoid being branded either a giant dork or a giant braggart, but from then on, I began checking the site more regularly. I was elated at having my email used as an inspiration for my favorite flash animation series, but I felt alone.
