They're probably spending all their time on that.

I had no idea there were previous installments. The only thing that pops up when I’ve googled them in the past was that they had worked as writers or something on a scant few Hollywood projects.
This. I've seen what happened to Masyanya, so I'd rather have them update it at their own pace whenever they feel like it, rather than go insane and run it into the ground.
>There has yet to be a good clean humor series since.
I don't know of society can embrace such a thing again. Homestar came around at a time that more or less was the last good Christian generation before social media came around and Christianity just shit the ethical bed in the West. I'm not saying Homestar was Christian, I'm just using the religion to encompass the sort of clean non-malicious society that Christianity was responsible for building up; a society that doesn't exist anymore.
I don't think violent video games or media while growing up had an exceptionally negative impact on that generation but the thing was, that media didn't encourage people to be total pieces of shit, the violence was in service to heroism. Some YouTube channels make millions off being pieces of shit and video games are all multiplayer, which exposes you to the worst of English spoken and written language and kids are being exposed to this as soon as they can operate a device with a screen. And I feel like Homestar, if it were released today, would have no audience. You look at Spongebob and he's a c**t at times and it kinda taints the fun; it's like YouTube in that it's okay to be a c**t towards Squidward if you're having fun. There's antagonism in Homestar but it's not grossly at the expense of others.
I'd say Strong Bad can be just as much of a "c**t" as Spongebob sometimes. >video games are all multiplayer, which exposes you to the worst of English spoken and written language
Most multiplayer games are heavily moderated nowadays.
When Strongbad is a c**t, he's portrayed as in the wrong whereas Spongebob is almost never portrayed as a villain. Hence the comparison to YouTubers - those people are held up as idols but they are not worthy; they are actually being menaces.
Every time Strongbad is a piece of shit, he's pretty much always punished for it. He's entertaining but he's not meant to be a good example.

I can feel just how desperately you want to make that golden calf analogy.

imma say it
strong bad email was not that funny
its just all injokes that were funny at the moment but had absolutely no substance
if "you had to be there" for the comedy to work, it wasn't good comedy
it's literally strongbad explaining shit and talking about things with a HR spin on it how the frick did you have to "be there" to understand the jokes about indie films n shit
i went through the entire thing over the last couple years and found it hilarious

spongebob is pound by pound a nicer guy than strong bad (or even homestar for that matter) and most of the misery he causes is completely unintentional
Not only do I miss him. I miss the time period that spawned him. Although the 2000s were objectively terrible, it was terrible in a way I recognized, and there were things I liked, even though they were anomalies in their own time.
Post 2012, everything feels like I'm on an alien planet.
I literally cannot imagine something like H*R being created today.
I miss the internet that made home star runner possible, It was a pre-homogenized time when you heard about websites via literal word of mouth and finding cool websites always felt like a bit of a discovery. People made odd things without necessarily thinking about monetization or going viral. I miss websites that just collect pictures of fat chicks in party hats or women laughing with salad without trying to bombard you with ads, generate monetized clicks, track your data, etc.
God, I feel like an old grandpa-man saying shit like that.
>do you miss him?
Sure, but then I just get The Cheat to pass me another balloon filled with a pint of Bubs' locally-sourced vegan seven-layer wall spackle and I take aim again.
Sewiously.
I still can't believe cow clips never caught on
they caught on with me lol. it's the only thing i call them. mooooo...
Well of course
I miss my mom.
I miss video games.
>Cinemaphile
>Dumbass
Part of me does, but most of me is glad the Brothers Chaps just decided to draw the line and semi-retire the series before it got stale and shite.
>semi-retire
They didn't retire they just stopped making so much of HSR. Though they haven't had the most expansive careers since.
>They didn't retire they just stopped making so much of HSR.
That's what I meant by "semi-retired the series."
They're releasing a new game: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2442020/Dangeresque_The_Roomisode_Triungulate/

They're not retired, they're just currently working on the next installment of the Dangeresque Roomisode right now

>Nostalgic elements of the series started heading into the 90s
Better to stop too early than too late
Every day. There has yet to be a good clean humor series since. I know its best that they stopped but still makes me 🙁

I'm not sure if I'd call HR "clean" humor.
Even the Brothers Chaps call the humor more or less family friendly, but didn't do it for ethical reasons, more just to stick out better
What the crap is up with that?

spongebob is pound by pound a nicer guy than strong bad (or even homestar for that matter) and most of the misery he causes is completely unintentional
But I wasn't there and it's very funny.
yes
He never went away theyre still making new homestar cartoons
Well... y'see I always did want to meet the Thnikkaman man but he always gets away before I come on the scene to nab him.
