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”
“No way. You’re just a kid! Maybe when you’re older…”
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.

Everybody to the limit! Everybody to the limit! Everybody come on fhqwhgads!
And I will never ever ever ever ever write a song about the Sibby.

Techno. My son does too. He throws light switch raves.
Or Crazy Cartoon. Or Japanese Cartoon.
No, no, it’s Virus. Tough to understand the jumping off the screen or popup gags these days, though.

Did you get a virus? No… Did you get 400,000 viruses? Yes, very yes.
Drop a train on em Edgar
Another vote for “Virus.” Lots of 4th wall breaking. Also, the anti-virus report from “Edgar”
“Computer over? Virus = Very Yes?”
It’s in a better place now. Actually, it’s in the same place, but with a big hole in it!
You murderer! You killed my brother! I mean, computer!
My daughter’s 8th grade French teacher was the writer of one. I felt brushed by fame.
“Virus.”
Computer over?
Virus = very yes?
That’s not a good prize!
I put the EdgarWare jingle into 8088 Tetris Attack.
“Very yes” has become an unironic part of my vocabulary.
It is difficult to pick a favorite.
Of course I have a fondness for “Dragon.”
“Virus” comes to mind as well as a particularly good showcase of Flash animation. Some of the magic is lost now that Flash is dead and you’re probably going to view the cartoon in a video player, but as originally presented they really pulled off some great interface screws like having Homestar pick apart the links at the bottom.
I really miss the Flash era, it felt so much more creative. Hell just having “cartoon or game” as a sliding scale was cool; Homestar Runner cartoons were all at least slightly interactive in ways no one does anymore for lack of a suitable media.
“And the dragon comes in the …NIIIIIIIIIGH”
The intro to #41, Invisibility, has always been a favorite. Don’t need this anymore. Don’t need THIS anymore ‘smacks computer off desk’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7YdvkSJUjM
For behold, the 386! A spectacle of graphics and sound!

“Hello, my name is Trevor. I am a vampire and…”
I am a vampire and what? I am a vampire and… here’s a million dollars?
Strongbad email maybe from a female.
My favorite is Kids’ Book. “Some people are very tall and merciless, Quincy is destroying San Antonio.”
Strongbad email maybe from a female.
That was the “sisters” sbemail, where Strong Bad gets a message from Ali asking if he has a girlfriend, and that there’s two of them, implying she has a sister. Strong Bad talks in a romantic voice, and ends up accidentally deleting Ali’s message.
I couldn’t remember what one that was, thank you. I knew it wasn’t kids book bit thats one of the things I still say all the time
Deleted!? WHAT? Wait, what happened!? No, undeleted! UNDELETED! I didn’t mean to do that! Aw, maaaaaan!
COME BACK, ALI…! Come back Ali’s sister…!
Idk if it was an sbemail or not but I love the news report one where strongmad is throwing the cheat up in there air for a helicopter live update
