   I….Don’t get it. Sorry guys ^_^; …….But I really like playing Trogdor on Guitar Hero II, does that count for anything? *Edit*: After looking up Burninate and realizing it’s related to Trogdor, the comic is pretty funny. Guess it would be funnier if I was a fan of Homestar Runner/Strong Bad. Reply to this comment.

   I got the joke. I meant to say: “Well, over and against what dj says, I understand and enjoy this comic so I will give it five stars and a NCG.” Reply to this comment.

   I think a better strongbad reference would have been to have Sam be “the cheat” and maybe even draw him. But either way this comic rocks! Reply to this comment.

   Having knowledge of both is required for the humour to appear. Fortunately, I fit that category and loved it. Comics like these won’t appeal to everyone, but its great for the ones that get it. Reply to this comment.

   I have watched several strong bad emails and vaguely know what the bunny and dog thing is. I got the comic though - it was really funny! (love the Lappy 486 that he’s using). NCG!!

    @Tristan: Commenting has been closed on it sadly. That’s a really stupid thing of him to say “The Wii isn’t a “pure” gaming console because of lack of a “real” controller.” Yeah, I guess that’s what everyone was saying when Nintendo brought out that one control a long time ago with the….you know….D-pad!!! And when Nintendo brought out the joystick with the N64. Reply to this comment.

    I don’t get this one either guys. God, you guys used to be good! *jks* I should really get back into the whole gaming scene before I read anymore of your comics. The comics are obviously funny it’s just my ignorance ruining ur topical humour. Reply to this comment.

15. 15 lwelyk Posted: Apr 17th, 2008 at 8:22 am

    Weren’t you wondered how that made Sam & Max feel? Yes I was wondered that. : P I don’t know much about Homestarrunner, but I am obsessed with Sam and Max. And I think you did it this way so you wouldn’t have to actually draw Sam. : P Reply to this comment.

16. 16 Jon M. Posted: Apr 17th, 2008 at 10:31 am

    Dude, I totally loved Sam & Max back in the day! I’d play it again if I could find it. I could never get past that freaking giant ball of twine where you swing Max off that balcony with all the fish heads flying past him, though. Did not know what to do… Reply to this comment.

The comics are obviously funny it’s just my ignorance ruining ur topical humour. Dont’ worry, I don’t really get it either. I don’t think Homestar Runner really has much to do with games though, and Sam & Max is a PC game that I also now nothing about(aside from the two characters). So yeah……..this ones kind of obscure. Maybe Tim & Ray are going through a “let’s use stuff from obscure games(Ikaruga)/stuff(Homestar Runner) so that everybody doesn’t get it” phase. Reply to this comment.

18. 18 Andrew Posted: Apr 17th, 2008 at 1:43 pm

    Telltale is releasing both sam and Max for Wii and “Strong Bad’s Cool Game for Attractive People” for WiiWare. Two episodic games for wii. Of course, you kinda had to have read that news for this to be funny. Reply to this comment.

    Maybe Tim & Ray are going through a “let’s use stuff from obscure games(Ikaruga)/stuff(Homestar Runner) so that everybody doesn’t get it” phase. And I love them for it. While its true that it alienates some readers, being able to get away with more obscure jokes like this is part of the beauty of the internet. Since its online it is able to reach the crowd that will be able to appreciate it. Besides, both Sam & Max and Homestar runner aren’t really all that obscure (especially HR), and with both of them having episodic games coming out from the same company, it made sense to include the two in a joke. Besides, 2P Start’s comics always have this feeling of that its more about what Tim + Ray thought would be funny, and less about appealing to any particular people. In the end, they have achieved a fanbase that appreciates this. Reply to this comment.

    NCG! While I didn’t get the joke until later, it got me to look up this “Homestar Runner” thing on YouTube, and I think I may have gotten an addiction or something. So thanks, guys! Reply to this comment.

    @Andrew: Don’t hate cause I’m having a good time playing online. @Baka: Yeah, I guess you’re right. But still, being one of the people who doesn’t get the comic isn’t a good situation to be in. It’s one thing if I don’t find the comic funny, but for the comic to be so obscure that not many people will have the prior knowledge to understand where the joke comes from is a different thing entirely. Especially considering that the majority of the rest of the comics haven’t been geared towards a specific group of people or as obscure, so to start doing it now(not that I’m suggesting that that’s Tim and/or Ray’s plan for the comic) would only alienate the fans that have already become loyal readers. And what the heck is Black n White’s avatar? It looks like a horse’s nostrils. Or some kind of Lamb/Sheep creature. Sorry, but I’ve been staring at it while I was writing this comment.

    Luckily, I am one of the ones who knows both references quite well I loved Sam and Max as a kid, but never played any of the TellTale Games (never got into it unfortunatly…) As for Strongbad, I occasionly watch the e-mails, and know what they’re all about. So yeah… hilarious. PS: Third Panel = Wallpaper of Awesome. Reply to this comment.

    Author Comment It’s one thing if I don’t find the comic funny, but for the comic to be so obscure that not many people will have the prior knowledge to understand where the joke comes from is a different thing entirely. Sorry DJ, but you’ve got to jump on the Homestar Runner bandwagon, because it’s NOT obscure in the least. Coupled with the news of a WiiWare game and the very popular Sam & Max games, I can’t call this an obscure comic. From Wikipedia (regarding Homestar Runner): “The site is one of the most popular Flash cartoons on the Internet…The site receives several million hits a month, and almost a thousand emails a day.” Reply to this comment.

    @Everybodies: I guess it’s my bad then ^_^; , but I had never even heard of Homestar Runner until I looked up Trogdor. I guess I’ve been playing online too much. You know what that’s like, right Andrew ? And I refuse wagons!! Especially those of the musical variety. Reply to this comment.

    I guess I’ve been playing online too much. You know what that’s like, right Andrew ? Oh, how you mock me. !!! And no one I’ve asked knows what Homestar Runner, or Strong Bad is. I’ve asked computer/WoW gamers, game store employees, and my friends. Nobody. So it might be obscure like I thought, but still, maybe it’s not quite as prevalent as you all think. Just saying. I’m done now. Now. Wait, now! No now. Yeah….>_> Reply to this comment.
