What really gets me is that Homestar doesn't know the context of Bubs saying 296. So he didn't know that that was the number of bricks on one of his walls. He was just impressed by the sheer size of the number.
I just love how many of us have so been influenced by the residents of Freecountry, USA, that we've incorporated their phrases and mannerisms into our own.
Arguably my most favorite of the lot. I've legit been so bored when out with friends, we've fully reenacted this in our rooms down to the tiniest detail. Oh, the bonds that were forged over this sbemail on the laziest, mind-numbingest of summer sundays. "I remember learnin' that... in school!"
In all seriousness though, this is one of the best emails. I love how the Brothers Chaps can truly make anything funny, even if they make their toons as intentionally uninteresting as possible.
I get that the video has only been out for about two hours by this time but I managed to read all the comments by the time Strong Sad appeared, anyway, I have now watched this at 0.25 speed.
When SB said he was gonna take really tiny steps, I was like "Ok, I actually wanna see that. That sounds pretty funny." Strong Bad's steps did not disappoint.
1:25 Fun Fact,Bubs was 16 bricks away from counting that entire wall..if you measure the bricks out that are visible you will see that the brick count is 11 across by 24 down which makes Bubs,strongbad and everyone else short ...the standard brick including mortar all around is approx. 3 1/4" height × 24 = which is 6 ft 6 inches. now think about how many times you've seen all of them at Bub's concession stand like now..there only a little over halfway up which means they are probably im n the area of 4 ft tall...now unless you take into account having some kind of basement..with the side wall dimensions being 7 1/3 '(the length of the average bricks with mortar are 8" multiply by 11) and the height being 6 1/2' that makes Bubs place pretty small width wise...which makes it impossible for him to sell the items he has sold in 130 emails at this point which also makes Bubs answer of 298 inaccurate..hows that for bordem....
You assume the bricks are a standard size, though. It's possible that Bubs' Concession Stand is crafted of bricks of different dimensions , which leads to a different number of bricks.
I remember this being the first email I didn’t completely like. I think it was the fact I had to load the flash file for 10-something minutes to watch it, then I was given something paced about the same speed.
The Tape-Leg one was my personal least favorite. It just left me there saying: “Okay...? What’s the joke here? He’s got tape on his leg? How’s that funny?”
@PyroRock814 You're not alone. "Tape-Leg" is considered to be one of the worst sbemails by a significant number of fans. The Brothers Chaps seem to be aware of this, as it has been referenced and made fun of by them several times ("What, you think everybody's logging on to see 'tape-leg?" Yeah, that's a good one." - unusually sassy Homestar to Strong Bad).
Batman's Left Nostril Another one of my least favorites is ‘I Rule’. I mean, it’s cool that Strong Badia originated from this email, but the problem is, IT’S TOO SHORT! It’s only 45 seconds long and nothing really happens in it.
There was a $2000 question on Jeopardy tonight about a Danish physicist. I called out Niels Bohr and now my family thinks I'm a genius. ... ........ yeah it's actually because I'm a Homestar Runner nerd......
Yes! I'm so glad we finally have this one uploaded on the official channel in high quality. such a classic. i love the way they animate strong bad's head slowly moving.
I actually like the background music used here a lot. I love a lot of the instrumental soundtracks used in HSR and I wonder if the Bros C would ever consider releasing a bunch of their music samples, the ones that are really short could be extended like at least by a minute or so...I am sure people would enjoy it.
If you wanted to be *really* technical, you could justify that by presuming he is including homonyms: "Use" can be two different words, as in: _"Do you know how to use that?_ As opposed to: _"I have no use for that"_ The former is a verb, the latter a noun. Same spelling, different words. Same with "Man": it can mean an adult human male, or to operate something (as in _"Man the controls"_ ) Two different words ☺️
No you misunderstand. These "boring" practices, if practiced enough, may just be a way of healing physical ailments. I've been trying it lately. Results may very, but I've observed small, yet notable changes in my senses.
Huh, I didn't know there was such a person as Niels Bohr nor did I know he was danish AND a physicist. And they say you can't learn anything from cartoons, shows what you know DAD!
this was the first sb email i ever saw since i was 7 yrs old, altough i didnt rly understand english back then becuz im norwegian and still learning english at school, but still watch the hell out of it, now im 21 yrs old.

Hahaha good point
I remember learning that. In school.
296? That's just a little less. Than 300.
WA-WA-WA-WAIT! YOU GUYS YOU GUYS I STRUCK GOLD ON THE ALIEN SPACESHIP I THINK IT GAVE ME SUPER POWERS THERE WERE WOOD DAVERS EVERYWHERE!!!
Notice Strong Bad accidentally wrote the world's worst perfume ad?
_"Try 'Wet Cod'...For Her"_
Ebb egg goo
To this very day, I will sometimes find myself starting a conversation with "What craziness is going on over here?"

This is definitely one of my most quoted sbmails. I ALWAYS say “Bees careful!”
This one just has so many good lines
When I was a kid, I thought this was the last email. I actually thought the brothers ran out of ideas
I'm not entirely convinced that the Brother's chaps started running out of steam for the site.
But those are real emails from real people across the world
Still better than tape-leg. (which I do like, myself)
How old were you at the time?
Arguably my most favorite of the lot. I've legit been so bored when out with friends, we've fully reenacted this in our rooms down to the tiniest detail. Oh, the bonds that were forged over this sbemail on the laziest, mind-numbingest of summer sundays.
"I remember learnin' that... in school!"
Oh!
Strong Bad!
You startled me!
Bob, are you just on every single Homestar video ever?
This email has an unnecessarily fast paced email intro song for what it is.
agreed
Had to get to the good part
What I love is probably how no one reacts to Hyperactive Strong Sad jumping in out of nowhere to ramble about aliens and wood-davers.
I've been saying "be's careful" ever since this email came out.
I have too, and I even forgot where I first heard it from until now.
Same here
Are you always be's do'sing that?
I'm saying it to a lot of people I see these days.
I don’t think you can enjoy this email and NOT say Be’s careful for the rest of your life.
"Be's careful" has been one of my catchphrases of all time thanks to this
Is there anything more motivational than watching Homestar truly applying himself in the great quest for a blink?
Always be be'sing and do'sing, never cheesing or choosing.
@@HellecticMojo What the fuck does "cheesing" mean?
@@hamursh Outside of South Park, I have no idea.
The best part is you can easily imagine him doing the same thing in a normal-paced cartoon.
Sitting around and doing nothing/ being cheesy.
In all seriousness though, this is one of the best emails. I love how the Brothers Chaps can truly make anything funny, even if they make their toons as intentionally uninteresting as possible.
Finding the hilarious within the mundane has got to be one of my favorite aspects of H*R as a whole. And this is a prime example of that.
That Bubs' face jumpscare still gets me.

True Homestarrunner fans slow this video down to 0.25 speed.
I get that the video has only been out for about two hours by this time but I managed to read all the comments by the time Strong Sad appeared, anyway, I have now watched this at 0.25 speed.
If you watch it at 1.5x speed, the slow part is normal speed. 😃
True TRUE Homestar Runner fans still try to click on the Easter eggs.
@@chaddickhaut140 I think that might be the most impressive thing about speed controls right now
Oh my, this is so high tier
Wah-wah-wah-wait! 🔥You guys! You guys! I struck gold on the alien spaceship-I think it gave me super powers! There were wood-davers everywhere!
Rengh-engh
The sound when Homestar closes his eyes is so gross lol
When SB said he was gonna take really tiny steps, I was like "Ok, I actually wanna see that. That sounds pretty funny." Strong Bad's steps did not disappoint.
"Now I see what all the fuss is about" is one of those phrases that has never left my brain
All we need is Strong Sad to host a wood-davers tutorial, while he's high.
Mathew Swift Gotta love it when he’s high on caffeine.
High up in the alien spaceship, mining for gold.

@@agen335 record scratch
why is this genuinely soothing to me? is this what ASMR feels like??
It's wonderful the chap brothers are restoring SBemail for youtube for us to enjoy forever ^^
The sudden cut to the close-up of Bubs' face gets me every time
This is more exciting than most days of my life. At least SB had people to talk to.
There was a $2000 question on Jeopardy tonight about a Danish physicist. I called out Niels Bohr and now my family thinks I'm a genius.
...
........ yeah it's actually because I'm a Homestar Runner nerd......
There's a beautiful simplicity to this one.
I love the sounds
Rewatching all these old sbemails has really made me realize how much I've been quoting them in daily life these past fifteen years.
Fifteen. That's just a little less... than twenty.
This was oddly soothing.
1:52 - possible foreshadowing of Bubs' involvement in the Be's-Do'sing Movement?
He’s sticking with Leg Boats (Not Kayaks)
I remember watching this in school.
Even today, I say "Be's careful!".
All the time!!
I will probably say that for the rest of my life to anyone, even strangers
I hoped that they release the background music for this SBEmail. It's so calming.
0:48 is one of the best moments in cinematic history
Playing this at 2x speed makes everyone talk like Christopher Walken
It needs more cowbell.
2:04
Didn't want to get caught with the "do-ing vs doing" thing again.
Yeah, this was supposed to be boring, but the joke's on you. I watch Ingmar Bergman films and sometimes enjoy them!
damn that's a deep cut
I was checking to see if anyone else made a Bergman reference before I did😁
Oh hi strongsad
Yes! I'm so glad we finally have this one uploaded on the official channel in high quality. such a classic. i love the way they animate strong bad's head slowly moving.
You know, this would fit almost perfectly as a Joe Pera Talks to You segment.
Ahhh, a true...classic...I think...I've seen...this email...about 97 times.
Wow. 97
That’s a little less than 100.
@@otaconguy Yep...I remember learning that in school.
I actually like the background music used here a lot. I love a lot of the instrumental soundtracks used in HSR and I wonder if the Bros C would ever consider releasing a bunch of their music samples, the ones that are really short could be extended like at least by a minute or so...I am sure people would enjoy it.
They did.
I want the noise homsar makes when he moves.
If I had that sound on demand I would never again be sad.
Sadly, this song doesn't seem to be in the tracks they've released. I'd totally love a playlist of all the really chill background music like this.
This is what it feels like to have adhd and do something you REALLY don’t want to.
2:57 OK, who slipped caffeine into Strong Sad's drink again?
I quote "I remember learning that...in school" constantly to myself.
The way he says "pie" at 4:24 sounds like he's dying for some pie
Because of this email, I just now realized a whole bunch of those three-letter words are all backwards AND forwards ones!
I love the dvd commentary on this one:
"It really is boring!" "We weren't faking the funk!"
With lots of _groan_ ...
Coach Z stopped Strong Bad at 'job', but I'm surprised no one called him out on using 'man' and 'use' twice on his list.
If you wanted to be *really* technical, you could justify that by presuming he is including homonyms:
"Use" can be two different words, as in:
_"Do you know how to use that?_
As opposed to:
_"I have no use for that"_
The former is a verb, the latter a noun. Same spelling, different words.
Same with "Man": it can mean an adult human male, or to operate something (as in _"Man the controls"_ )
Two different words ☺️
No you misunderstand. These "boring" practices, if practiced enough, may just be a way of healing physical ailments. I've been trying it lately. Results may very, but I've observed small, yet notable changes in my senses.
I wish I could close my eyes. I haven't been able to close my eyes in 5 years. Please end my suffering.
I constantly say "I remember learning that in school" thanks to this cartoon
I also say "more like _I_ see" a lot even though it never makes sense
I laugh at this one too much. Honestars blank happy expression, Strong Sad on caffeine again, and Homestar struggling to blink is comedy gold.
"What are you ... um ... doing" continues to be the highlight of this episode if you ask me.
2:22 I still sue "more like... I see" to this day
2:26
When I wake up after forgetting to take out my contacts
1:52 *_be’s careful!_*
Look at that tiny beetle like stride. Truly the Chad Strong Bad.
Coach Z needs to listen to that tape Strong Sad made for him again if he forgot how to say "job."
that tiny steps animation always cracks me up
I remember there was an easter egg at the end if you clicked on err and it introduced me to Groo the Wanderer
I would love a three hour loop of whatever soft synth song is playing in the background
Strong Bad taking the teeny tiny steps always gets me.
I want a loop of that music.
it's prombambly in that recent release they did of all the background musics!
I remember getting a detention for making that Niels Bohr joke in high school.
I love these so much! Thank you so much for posting these. It brightens my day every time I see them.
I'm from lake Jackson Texas and this pretty much sums up the town
oh god....that closing eye sound....oh god....
Somehow, Strong Bad managed to say "man" twice, but not "end," even though it was right above his head
3:57 "cod...for..." CoD 4? What didn't these guys predict?
be's careful!
Woah, Strong Bad got himself a Karateka floppy
I dare you guys and gals to watch this with the playback speed at 0.25
I did that and clicked 2x when Strong Sad showed up.
Hey, he got the secret word in there near the end. Now Bubs has to give him a free lunch.
Are you talking about sbu? I don't think I know that one
"More like, I, see." Still gets me.
Might be one of Homestar's best lines.
To this day, it is said that Strongbad is still naming 3-letter words...
Huh, I didn't know there was such a person as Niels Bohr nor did I know he was danish AND a physicist.
And they say you can't learn anything from cartoons, shows what you know DAD!
2:46 The close captioning just gave up around strong sad.
I was just thinking about that Niels Bohr joke last week!
I still wonder how they created the sound effect of homestar struggling to close his eyes, or how the effect nailed the sound so perfectly
1:48

This and "crying" are my two favorites.
