A Bit of a Fun DBZ Parody?

Jerseymilk · Post by **Jerseymilk** » Thu Apr 01, 2004 5:19 pm

I happened to stop by the Homestar Runner site and they've got an April Fool's joke going their homepage for today. It's a parody on the anime genre and while it's not specifically DBZ, a lot of it reminds me of it, especially the black and white stills and the movements. I find that "Stinkoman" almost sounds like a cross between Chris Sabat's Vegita and Yamucha. Check it out if you care to and let me know your opinion.

Haha, it wouldn't load on the computers at school, so I had to fucking wait for hours with no other thought in my head. Awesome.

I don't know much about voice acting, but Stinkoman is awesome. Especially when he cosplays as the Speed Racer guy and goes Akira on my doorstep. (If you have no idea what I'm talking about, just look through the halloween cartoons for secrets)

Which one do you find that in Zacko? There are at least two or three Halloween ones. Is it the one where you get to pick what treats you'll give to everybody?

Pom-Pom's language is all bubbles (or as Strong Bad says: Bubbly Bubbly...) , but everyone can understand him anyway. If you've seen an old halloween cartoon, he narrates it in bubble speak and you can only SEE what he's talking about... great.

It's either the latest or second latest, Jersey, it's not the one where they all go to your doorstep but the one where they bring back that doorstep game for one group of people... You click on a pumpkin or something.

Actually, if you go back to the original doorstep game, you can do that as well... however, it's Homsar instead of Stinkoman.

I am the master of Homestar Runner.

Thanks for the tip.

You know, funny thing is, I saw a guy wearing a TROGDOR THE BURNINATOR sweatshirt today... Homestar's popularity never ceases to shock me.

I want to get a shirt but the Stinkoman one isn't available in baby doll form.

I'm still trying to decide on another StrongBad choice.

EDIT: Hey Zacko just watched the cartoon, that Speed Racer/Akira parody was great!

I'm assuming you know about the hidden Easter egg of Homesar as dressed as Ghost Dog in the Halloween pumpkin contest feature? I just found it tonight. I love the fact that I'm always finding new "secret bits" I didn't know about.

You know, it's weird. The store section on the site says there's a babydoll Stinkoman, but once you get onto the Yahoo page there's no mention of it.

I would have bought that CD... but I'm not paying that much for shipping. Stupid Yahoo.

I know. Once you click on it though, it says there aren't any available in that style. Weird.

Yes they have a merchandise section on the website. They have shirts, figurines, even a CD of StrongBad's stupid songs. They're even putting out a DVD, hopefully soon.
