I don't think it would be possible to be happier unless, like, a lost simpsons episode from 1993 came out. or 'dropped' as the young people say. on accounta they've assigned 'come out' to a different thing.

I like how this toon just gives Homestar magical powers, but he only uses them for something I think most people would assume he could do without them.
It's genuinely amazing how well you've aged. Nearly 20 years later and I when you come around it's like an old friend popped in to say "hey". Nothing's changed. I mean, we've changed. We defiantly have grown, but nothing between us has changed. That's a good thing though. I love you, Homestar Runner, Strong Bad, The Cheat and the rest of ya. Im 33 and I'm happy you're still here.
As soon as he said 'toons' I chuckled to myself because it reminded me of the episode where they're stuck on the island and saying that makes boats go by. THEN THE BOAT SHOWED UP ☠️
@@bernhardwall6876 That’s true. Front-facing The Cheat is far more cursed. But I still got the jibblies from front-facing Homestar at first because I’m not used to it.
Man, there's a lot I watched as a kid that I look back on like "Man what was I thinking?" But Homestar Runner always holds up and the new stuff still gets me same as it always did. Every new Homestar cartoon is a treat.
That Homestarrunner is still going is something that is deeply incongruous in this broken, sad, and dirty world. Thank you. Live long, you kind-souled world!
Thank you for not going "current year" and keeping to just what made this whole thing special in the first place. This is something wholesome and pure to hold onto in a world that's getting darker and darker.
To think that it has been this easy all along. To be good and wholesome like this, one does not have to do something, but instead, has to NOT do something. Not be "current year". It's literally less work than doing something and then pandering to it. Here is to hoping others take HSR as an example on how its done, by NOT doing something.
@@applesyrupgaming Yeah, he and Homestar were rocking modern phones in the parenting sbemail (Strong Bad uttering the phrase "vape shop" did psychic damage to me), it's his _computers_ that are beige enough. I think that's the magic of H*R, they're the same characters no matter what era they're pretending it is in a given toon... kinda like how _Wizard of Id_ is nominally medieval but will use modern tech and societal concepts if it suits a gag.
@@hansbrackhaus8017 yeah it's sad because i often see alot of wholesome simple cartoons on here, but they only get a couple hundred views, cause the views are at helluva boss or tadc right now (no hate to tadc)
"Shine Like a Dime in the Buff" is indeed one for the quote book. 20 years ago I probably would've ripped it from the flash to use as a wallpaper, like that "No Loafing" sign...
I love trying to follow Homestar's train of thought sometimes. 0:44 "Oh he probably just flipped the first sounds of their names. He probably meant 'Brenda' and... 'Wambi.' ...Okay never mind."
Homsar is a horror that gives the Jibblies Painting the Jibblies. Unleashing Front-Facing Homsar would bring ruin unto the cosmos akin to Great Cthulhu awakening from his dreaming death!
I actually really hate when the title or description gives away a really funny or intriguing reveal or twist that is best experienced blind. Thanks for the strikingly self-aware 'toon that takes a jab at this very subject in no uncertain terms, and for not letting that gag be the entirety of the joke but the context and launchpad for a number of other jokes jam-packed into the short! 🍕🏆💞
Much as I love watching the Flash version of these 'toons like it's 2004, I always have to watch the RUclips version too, so I can feel like I just watched it WITH people. It's always nice to laugh with the fans. Thanks, The Fans. (And thanks, "zookeepers of the dumb animal characters.")
It's been so many seconds since I last saw an HSR video, but I'm just left smiling the whole way through because not only have you guys not lost a step, it just reminds me of a different time in my life. So now there's this extra layer of happy...grease? Caked on to every episode!
Im so glad yall are still making videos, a lot of my childhood was on yalls website and ill never forget having hours of fun just looking around on each page

True dat.
I think I'm going to lose more sleep now that I know what BACK-facing Homestar looks like.
Technically, he already appeared this way way back in the Marshmallows Last Stand and Theme Song cartoons.

And immediately cursed.

I didn’t know the inventor of crypto was Front-Facing Homestar..
Kripto nothing! *THAT* my young parson, is a Pyramid Scheme.
Stupid front facing man
Hey, its jacknjellify! Huge fan of you and homestar!
Dingle front facing smarty
hi bfdi
The scariest part of this is that Homestar is smart enough to start an MLM.
Don't worry, only Front Facing Homestar is that smart.
*was smart enough, actually! he created those ABD's seminars...
It’s because no one needs an ounce of brain-beans to come up with an MLM - this really just signifies that Front-Facing Homestar is jerkier.
Are we sure that requires smarts?
The scariest part of this is seeing Homestar from the front.
A new Homestar Runner short is the best Valentine's Day gift!

Turns out all those fan 'stumes over the years were of *front facing* Homestar all along! Whoda guessed!
I raised my kids on Homestar Runner. Now they're older than I was when I was doing that...and I can still show them HR cartoons. And they still like that.
This is why I love the internet.
Have you considered the possibility that the Brothers Chaps have turned to AI to make this cartoon?

Can't wait to see how the Homestar Runner wiki addresses this revelation.

Really, soooooo close to The System Is Down joke
@@ErrorWolf That’s what I was going for
"Instances of Front-Facing"
I remember it having 676 articles as if it were yesterday.
I like how this toon just gives Homestar magical powers, but he only uses them for something I think most people would assume he could do without them.
Much like Strong Bad's cap-focused telekinesis.
Kind of like Strong Bad's head-diamond that can open cold ones, and literally serves no other purpose.
it is remarkable that they hadn't already done a toon with this concept. it's as though they've been sitting on this idea for a whole decade or more
this is exactly what I was thinking, surely they've been aware of the limits of designs like these for longer than the average fan
I bet these fiends have been sitting on the concept of front-facing homestar for 24 years
considering they have the hand puppets, especially
i really really think they've shown a front face hamstray briefly before this. i can see it in my minds eye
@@bleepindeadalienbody Methinks it may have been in the trailers for SBCG4AP, their 3d WiiWare games.
Front facing homestar is so cursed
My soul wasn't prepared for front-facing The Cheat. 💀
Yeah, I will not forget the terror I felt when his front facing head came towards the screen. Still a pretty incredible video either way though. ^^
We'll all be dead in 7 days...
At least it's only half as cursed as back-facing Homestar.
That's the point
It's genuinely amazing how well you've aged. Nearly 20 years later and I when you come around it's like an old friend popped in to say "hey". Nothing's changed. I mean, we've changed.

Thanks, Brothers Chaps. I've been scraping up 2003 flash toons off the floor this year just to get by
Front-facing Homestar looks REAL creepy. And did NOT expect it to crush the Main Page or to see Front-facing The Cheat.
As soon as he said 'toons' I chuckled to myself because it reminded me of the episode where they're stuck on the island and saying that makes boats go by.
THEN THE BOAT SHOWED UP ☠️

It still feels like classic homestar after all this time.
That's what happens to a franchise when it's made with ungodly amounts of love and passion
The only thing more disturbing would be front-facing Homsar...
I can not believe, in this the year 2024 of our king of town, we are getting new Homestarrunner videos.
Thank you.
To paraphrase Eddie Valiant, "That lame-brain Multi-Level Marketing idea could only be cooked up by a toon."

He was described as resembling an anvil, so I'd say it tracks.
