I'm having a bit of a Mandela effect moment where I never realized Homestar had a propeller on his cap.
when something is made of simple shapes like that, it's pretty easy to not see or think of it. and it's only visibly spun, like, once. well plus all those puppet homestar bits.
[...]
When you spin my buzzer it plays the theme from Night Court starring Richard Moll.
This way you can sing-it-yourself whatever groovy 80s sitcom theme you want! Taxi, Barney Miller, even Airwolf if you're in the mood to be really on the nose about the propeller.
the way it's drawn most of the time, it looks more like a bow tie on a comically small little hair tuft like a lot of old cartoon people had. like Zippy the Pinhead
You're right. You're right.
I was studying animation at university when this show hit.
We would all gather round a Mac and watch the latest episode every week.
I love the parallel with the muppet show. total water cooler thing. it's the best.
homestar really filled the comedy void after the simpsons sucked, and adventure time filed it after homestar went on hiatus. now we have nothing. occasional new funny shows come out, but they all get political or do recasting based on race or allegations, and it's just spoiled. Send my ass back in time, I don't wanna die here. I wanna die in my home soil of the old days.
I got the power of a continuing decline in health and aging past where my parents were in their late 40s.
don't take heartburn meds, by god if I can get even one person to avoid that then it'll be worth it. you'll frickin ruin your life with those things.
Really? I've had GERD (I think) since last month and I've been popping Nexium (esomeprazole magnesium) at least once a day.
Had a really bad drinking habit for years so I figured I fricked my stomach up badly. Feels like there's something stuck in my throat all the time.
I've woken up and puked stomach bile just from taking a sip of water or brushing my teeth before.
oh god no, that's a proton pump inhibitor. Basically all of those have a huge class action lawsuit
reflex sucks, but the fact is, you need acid. it's impossible to absorb the vitamins you need without it, let alone the medications you'll need if you continue taking that junk (As I found out the hard way). Best to just have a tums every so often, neutralize your throat, get a little calcium while you're at it.
you're lucky actually, Nexium has a class action lawsuit for destroying people's kidneys. The one I took, no such luck. it seems like I'm the only one who reacted as badly to it. and yet, it's not hard at all to find medical studies with the same symptoms I have after taking it. stupid doctors.
welllll I imagine they own the rights to 'kick the cheat' but the manufacturer might have a license on them saying 'the cheat dolls have to be done exclusively through us for X0 years"
might. probably not, especially given how long it's been.
I bet they're trying to figure out an economical way of doing all the Cheat Commandos.

Just make the KtC and sell $10 addon clothes like they did for suit ralsei and cool glasses SB.
I mean surely the chaps kept the rights to making merch of their characters. Worst case scenario they need to have fangamer editions of the plush blueprints which shouldn't be that difficult i imagine.
alls i know is that one chinese company did not do a good job on Bubs, and now that 'weird puppet bubs with a horn' has become an actual character, with a hilarious voice.. now we all want one. so they could have sold him. but if they did, that joke wouldn't work, so he wouldn't have sold.

it also begs the question, does another company own a design they made by accident based on your instructions?
and before you answer, that is literally how most cartoon voices are made. ask any of the actors, they turn a bad impression into a new character alla time.

If i remember, shark tooth bubs was some Chinese company's proof of concept to get the chaps to sign on with them to make merch but it was so hilariously terrible they posted it on the site.

Oh God, he's literally me.
Give it time and you will find that everyone that fits in on this site will slowly and knowingly become more like coach z and the worst of us will unknowingly more like senor cardgage.
it's actually closer than i expected. particularly the front-facing star. The head is just a little too wide, from the side. but I imagine that was so a human hand fit comfortably in it without making the puppet gigantic.
what was that one convention intro video strong bad did where he's like "Can somebody tell me what Homestuck is?" like he didn't even make it into a "it sounds like Homestar got stuck" or any joke like that..
very few things induce an instantaneous purchase in me.. but the-h-star-the-h-star-r will do that for me.
so who did the bad homestar impression voice? was that mike?
Didn't you watch the ad anon? It was (You)
mine's better than that!!

RIP 6 feet 8 inches of quality actor.
Yep
i love his bad voices so much. I think I actually quote them more than anyone

That's understandable, he rarely uses it.

>When you spin the Homestar Runner puppet's beanie propeller, it does not play the theme from Night Court starring Richard Moll.
I mean I understand it. I get why. But still.

Man that's some serious case of needing to join the five buck army.

You mean the Homestarmy?
Do you has?
Christ is everyone on this board in their 40s?
gettin there
i wish people our age were still hot, because i can't stand talking to anyone younger.
Makes me wonder how many of us have worked in the business too.
what business is that
in 4 years, yeah.
What do you mean? Homestar is a 2000s webcartoon, you don't have to be THAT old to have experienced it during its golden years.
You're right. You're right.

Hey, I'm only 35. 36 next month.
I officially become a wizard in 6 weeks.
I remember those days
I even got on /soc/ to have a little pity party. had no idea how much worse things were a-gonna git.
Any powers?

I'm not a wizard yet, so no.
My cousin Louis, he's dead. My cousin Harold, he's dead.
>Front facing Homestar puppet
I can't wait to do bad homestar impressions with my new pluppet
>In the moonlight, things get kinda kooky,
p cool
but I want a new cheat fricking plz
right!?
new the cheat. it doesn't have to talk, but it would be nice. I used to be able to do that voice, but my falsetto go byebye
Surely with fangamer resources it couldn't be that hard to do new kick the cheats?
i have to imagine there's a legal thing with whomever made the original, that they can't just let someone else do it
"Punt the Cheat" would be cutting it too close, huh?
welllll I imagine they own the rights to 'kick the cheat' but the manufacturer might have a license on them saying 'the cheat dolls have to be done exclusively through us for X0 years"
might. probably not, especially given how long it's been.
I bet they're trying to figure out an economical way of doing all the Cheat Commandos.

ok so what's about Stomp The Sneak? is that good?

>puppet plush
So there's a hole in his ass..
there always was. I wish I could find the picture, where you can see up his skirt and his legs just bend into it like a void..
seriously nobody has this picture? or remembers when we saw it? i think maybe he was sitting and his legs visibly bent upward into his hollow body
>homestar onahole
Do you think Coach Z's speech impuddimuh would negate the TER-TI-A-RY curse? In the same way it once distorted a DELETED! ?
>TORSH-I-ORY
Make more Disk 4 of 12 cowards
that would be fricking awesome
I really wanna see another Strong Play like what they did with Vampire's Castle.
that's what disk 4 of 12 is, innit
The Vampire's awake
He's at your neck
BECAUSE IT'S MID-NITE!
When we all get our homestar puppets in the mail, can we have a thread where each do our own shitty homestar impressions?
anon. yes. yes I am so with you
Yeah I'm in on that. But i would love if they sold crappier puppets of the rest of the characters too so we can do more.
ngl kinda wish they made it look more like the homestar puppet they had at home
i'm still buying regardless
it's actually closer than i expected. particularly the front-facing star. The head is just a little too wide, from the side. but I imagine that was so a human hand fit comfortably in it without making the puppet gigantic.
Has anyone cropped out the hand pointing to the viewer yet?
>homestar somehow outlasted homestuck
only the chaps
what was that one convention intro video strong bad did where he's like "Can somebody tell me what Homestuck is?" like he didn't even make it into a "it sounds like Homestar got stuck" or any joke like that..
