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"

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!

Computer over. Virus = very yes

FLAGRANT SYSTEM ERROR

Computer over.

Virus = Very Yes.

"Computer over"? "Virus = very yes"!? That's not a good prize!

Dude, sbemail #118 - virus is pure meta brilliance.

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..."

[–] HotWheelsVroom@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That was the "sisters" sbemail!

"Well, Ali. There's ONE of me. A-deleted..."

"DELETED!? WHAT?! WAIT, WHAT HAPPENED? NO! UNDELETED! UNDELETED!"

[–] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 month ago

Holy crap, I was convinced I'd never get to see it again! That's exactly the one, watched it just now! Thanks!

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Then he'd dream about who's hotter. Ali or Ali's sister. And you could click on the pictures and they would cycle through women from Leisure Suit Larry.

Small world!

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 9 points 1 month ago

We put that second lightswitch in so that you could turn the lights on and off

[–] dbilitated@aussie.zone 9 points 1 month ago

I often quote light switch rave 😁

[–] NutWrench@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 month ago

Another vote for "Virus." Lots of 4th wall breaking. Also, the anti-virus report from "Edgar"

"Computer over? Virus = Very Yes?"

Checkin' my email hopin' it's from a female

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

"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!)

children's book (? Title? - no two kids are not on fire!)

Numbah 84 - Kids Book

Damn near pissed myself laughing the first time I saw it.

Techno:

I was never a huge fan of the series, only watched a few animations, but this stuck with me.

i think this oc is relevant .

You just keep doin your thing man.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 6 points 1 month ago

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.

Man, "japanese cartoon" really was the birth of a legend. Can't forget the fond memories of playing that Stinkoman video game!

[–] TedZanzibar@feddit.uk 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Routhinator@startrek.website 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Trogdor is definitely my number one sbemail.

[–] NataliePortland@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I little email

Some you and me-mail

Haha that’s about as much as I can remember, aside from Trogdor

"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."

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Whats homestar runner? I looked it up but didn't understand very quickly so I figured fans could tell me in a shorter way than a websearch can

[–] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 11 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

It’s a website from the early 2000’s that had absurdist flash animations centered around weird cartoon characters in a fiction small town. It was kind of like a weird interactive TV show for a while.

I liked the one where he drank a whole bottle of soy sauce and tried to fly Bubs' concession stand.

"The Cheat is one handsome fellow!

...

That was definitely an ugly bird."

"Spring Cleaning" felt like a turning point to me, in a good way! I feel so fresh, so clean!

"Kid's Book" was absolutely my favorite.
