Web Watch – Homestar Runner

Welcome to Homestar Runner.net.

The appeal of this site cannot be understated.

But, mercifully, it can be easily categorized.

Homestar Runner is good clean fun.By clean, I mean you won’t find any naughtiness here. No sex jokes, no potty mouth, no cutting political satire, no pointed hurtful barbs (unless they’re aimed at Strong Sad.)

This is inclusive humour, as relevant and giggle-inducing to your ten year old as it is to your nan.By fun, I mean every facet of this comedic empire (launched on New Year’s Day 2000) is designed to accommodate the rapid and timely transfer of funs directly into your grey matter. Be it the barmy into, 26 customized home pages, random toons, a comprehensive spoof games catalog, character bios or the now legendary Strong Bad emails, Homestar Runner.com wastes no time in making with the hilarity.And by good I mean seriously sharp, creative and relentlessly oddball humour. This is carefully crafted comedy, wittily written wordplay but without sacrificing a sense of continuity and community. More importantly, it refuses to steeps so low as crass or spiteful jokes, it won’t employ shock and awe tactics and never plays any cheap, prejudiced or casually racist cards. Homestar Runner will restore your faith in merriment, wit and playful flights of fancy.Also, the fact the role of site protagonist was almost immediately usurped by an immensely popular wise-cracking luchador should be stressed, to emphasise its deliriouslyabsurd nature.

For a time.Sadly, site activity has slowed to a non-existent pace in recent years. Though still technically active, with a 10 year archive of material to munch on, the site was last updated on Dec 22, 2010. Creator Matt Chapman has since proclaimed the site will be updated, but only sporadically and without warning, while teasing excerpts from Strong Bad email no 206.But if you’re interested in checking out a perfectly preserved and quaintly quirky chunk of internet lore, then… “Welcome aboard the UUS Homestarrunner.com. I am your captain, Homestar Runner”Or alternatively, "Bienviendos a Homestarrunner.com! A Migues es si..."In Short: Web Watch pays homage to a classic internet comedy site - Homestar Runner. Though inactive for three years, its still the funniest thing out there!
