Icon. Showstoppah. Main Eventah.

Yes, it is in all lower case and it annoys the hell out of me. Still, what an awesome unexpected find on Swapadvd.com. I like Strong Bad, but I’d never pay for the SB emails (Even though I paid for a T-shirt and a stuffed The Cheat) so when this showed up I grabbed it immediately.

Although it was a bit hard at times to watch 100 Strong Bad emails in a row, this collection has some memorable moments including:

* The first appearance of Homesar
* Stinkoman
* The origin of TROGDOR!
* Trevor the Vampire!
* The origins of TEEN GIRL SQUAD and more

The emails are pretty short and the entire set is only five hours long, even with 100 different emails, so you could finish these in a single “hang out with buds while drinking and laughing” session, although I’d personally get crazy restless before then. The quality of these range from short and boring, to incredibly hilarious and it’s interesting to see how Strong Bad has gone from a minor antagonist to the main character in the Homestar Runner world. This is definitely a keeper because, hey, when am I ever going to see it again, and it will be fun to bust out an email or three from time to time without having to watch it on my computer. Great fun for any Homestar Runner fan.

is it Worth Keeping? Yes
