I feel like I can’t let this blog exist without mentioned the existence of Strong Bad. He’s this old-internet comedy series character (part of the Homestar Runner series) who’s bits included reading the email he gets from viewers. From Wikipedia:
n 2021, Polygon declared Strong Bad an icon. In a tribute, they note that “Strong Bad Email was far and away the most popular segment on Homestar Runner”
He recently had a new one, which is amazing since it’s like 25 years old.
Agree with Andy Baio:
I love that they’re still making these in Flash, played with the Ruffle emulator
If you ever make fun of people’s grammar in emails as you read them, it might be a thing you do that got stuck in your brain after watching Strong Bad do it in your formative years.
