Guess my favorites..!
"THE SYSTEM, IS DOWN. THE SYSTEM, IS DOWN. THE SYSTEM, IS DOWN. THE SYSTEM, IS DOWN. The Cheat! Is grounded!"
"What is this? Did the quadratic formula explode? I see a 'Strong ba' in there, but it's getting eaten, by some... Linux or something."
"BACK OFF BABY"
"No way. You're just a kid! Maybe when you're older..."
We had that light switch installed for you so you could turn the lights on and off. Not so you could throw light switch raves!
Now letβs go break open that glow stick into home star runners Mountain Dew. I hear they have to pump your stomach when you drink that stuff.
I said come on fhqwhgads, I said come on fhqwhgads
Everybody to the limit! Everybody to the limit! Everybody come on fhqwhgads!
Trogdooorr
The burninator
Consummate V's!
And I will never ever ever ever ever write a song about the Sibby.
"Well let me introduce you to my main man Edgar!"
-Edgar antivirus, programmed entirely in mom's basement
Computer over?!
Virus equals Very Yes?!
Techno. My son does too. He throws light switch raves.
Or Crazy Cartoon. Or Japanese Cartoon.
No, no, it's Virus. Tough to understand the jumping off the screen or popup gags these days, though.
Another vote for "Virus." Lots of 4th wall breaking. Also, the anti-virus report from "Edgar"
"Computer over? Virus = Very Yes?"
I haven't been able to find it in years, but SB got an email from some chick who wanted to bone him (or whatever PG-13 lingo they used), and accidently deleted it. He panics, then gets another email that's all broken English, but claiming to be the same person. At first excited, he then says:
"You are not [name]! You are not even literate!" And let me tell you, my 10 year old ass laughed until I dang near pissed myself
"Come back Ali... Come back Ali's sister..."
That was the "sisters" sbemail!
"Well, Ali. There's ONE of me. A-deleted..."
βVirus.β
Computer over?
Virus = very yes?
Thatβs not a good prize!
Hey, I just saw someone post desktop bg of this on a different community.
My daughter's 8th grade French teacher was the writer of one. I felt brushed by fame.
Checkin' my email hopin' it's from a female
We put that second lightswitch in so that you could turn the lights on and off
Not so you could throw light switch raves!
Techno:
I was never a huge fan of the series, only watched a few animations, but this stuck with me.
I often quote light switch rave π
Trogdor, Computer Virus.
Also, "A One that is not cold is scarcely a One at all"
βHello, my name is Trevor. I am a vampire andβ¦β
I am a vampire and what? I am a vampire andβ¦ hereβs a million dollars?
I little email
Some you and me-mail
Haha thatβs about as much as I can remember, aside from Trogdor
It is difficult to pick a favorite.
Of course I have a fondness for "Dragon."
"Virus" comes to mind as well as a particularly good showcase of Flash animation. Some of the magic is lost now that Flash is dead and you're probably going to view the cartoon in a video player, but as originally presented they really pulled off some great interface screws like having Homestar pick apart the links at the bottom.
I really miss the Flash era, it felt so much more creative. Hell just having "cartoon or game" as a sliding scale was cool; Homestar Runner cartoons were all at least slightly interactive in ways no one does anymore for lack of a suitable media.
Some of the very first ones were great; Trevor the vampire, and the one that birthed Homsar (possibly the very first one?). Stuck with it for all the classics; lightswitch rave, Trogdor, teen girl squad, 20X6, Sweet Cuppin' Cakes (I still bring up Eh, Steve! to this day).
Eventually they started getting longer and longer and lost a lot of the punchiness and I stopped watching.
I think my favourite is probably Trogdor. The way Strong Mad has just carved 'DAGRON' into the table always makes me chuckle for some reason.
Trogdor is definitely my number one sbemail.
"The Cheat is grounded!"
"We had that lightswitch installed for you so you could turn the lights on and off. Not so you can throw lightswitch raves!
Now let's go break open that glowstick and pour it into Homestar Runner's Mountain Dew."
When he taped on a bunch of fake "fingers" to get people to stop asking "how do you type with boxing gloves on?"
i think this oc is relevant 
"There's a rainbow in my pocket and I think it's starting to melt"
Is a quote from them and I can't remember which? Not i was literally just singing this to myself.
But I really like a lot of them... But if I had to pick one off the top of my head?
TROGDOR or children's book (? Title? - no two kids are not on fire!)
Senor Cardgage Mortgage
The intro to #41, Invisibility, has always been a favorite. Don't need this anymore. Don't need THIS anymore 'smacks computer off desk' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7YdvkSJUjM
For behold, the 386! A spectacle of graphics and sound!
I don't really remember them well enough to say. I remember the iconic ones but those weren't necessarily my favorites.
I used to watch Teen Girl Squad Valentimes every Valentine's Day for a long time, but that's not a sbemail.
Strongbad email maybe from a female.
My favorite is Kids' Book. "Some people are very tall and merciless, Quincy is destroying San Antonio."
The only one I really remember is Trogdor, but in order to keep it in my heart, I am a proud owner of Trogdor!!: The Boardgame
