New Homestar Runner video

[Mark84]

So, I just came across a new Homestar Runner video on YouTube titled “Diaper Sunrise.” If you’re unfamiliar with Homestar Runner, it was basically a website with tons of funny cartoon Flash videos about this character (and many others), and they’re so random and hilarious, and I think, really influenced a lot of humor on the internet. Anyway, here it is, lol.

That was deliciously absurd.

Lol! It reminds me of the time homestar went as H.I. from Raising Arizona for Halloween.

My daughter visiting my office one day drew Trogdor on my whiteboard.   It stayed up there until we moved out of that building.   I didn't know what it was at first, but one of my younger guys sent me the link to the video it's from.

Amusingly, we had a division in Texas that had called an intelligence package Project Lonestar.    When they decided to rejigger it for Homeland Security, someone decided to call it Project Homestar.   I pointed out that this might NOT be a good idea.

Pleasantly surprised to see this. I wasn't expecting to see new Homestar Runner. Did their creator at least convert all their work to a modern vector graphics format? I haven't really kept up with web tech. or Homestar for that matter. I really wish flash were still around. So much lost, including Ishkur's Electronic Music Guide, before he "streamlined" it.

Not sure about the graphics format. I only just discovered that they were still making videos a couple years ago.

They embedded the "ruffle" viewer which emulates Flash without the problematic browser extension.    You can put a ruffle extensioin into the popular browsers if you want, but it doesn't need it (and certainly it's not necessary for the homestar stuff).
