Marzipan's Answering Machine #17

Everybody, everybody calls to leave Marzipan a message!

[@lululuvscats]

I'm actually kind of glad they finally acknowledged that abandoned plot point about Marzipan being the King of Town's daughter.

Homestar being so enthusiastic about the fads of the past 2010s is *so* on-character

This update is such a great reminder of how brilliant Homestar Runner humor is. A mixture of pop culture, wordplay, absurdity, speech impediments, and sublime timing.

[@lucky12297]

+SteventheThorn Homestar Runner seems to fit into any time it finds itself, as topical in 2016 as it was in 2002.

[@Alucard-A-La-Carte]

Also entirely without irony or mean-spiritedness. It's really adorable how positive this series has stayed over a decade of internet irony.

[@negascoot23]

@@Alucard-A-La-Carte And it's not just positive, it's smart and cool😊 So much "clean" entertainment comes across like it was originally filled with profanity and violence and other naughtiness--and then it was gutted by censors. Either that, or you can sense the places where the writers WANTED to add something "adult", and held back. Not H*R: it is effortlessly, brilliantly clean--inoffensive without ever being bland, and NEVER treacly or condescending. And has remained so for 20 years. Maybe some would say that a creative work shouldn't be applauded simply for NOT being packed with gratuitous sex and violence...and they have a point. What's astonishing is this is the internet: there are basically no rules. You can produce and post anything legal short of hardcore porn (if you're not posting ON a porn site), and the most you'll have to do is mark it as Adults Only (which in no way prevents anyone who wants to from seeing it). And there were even fewer rules 20 years ago... So the Brothers Chaps--smart, creative, funny individuals--had a green light to make a series without any of the limits television and film have to conform to... ...and Homestar Runner is what they made. Not because they HAD to make it this way, but because they wanted to 😊

I kind of feel like this video contains a lot of ideas that were going to be used for toons between 2010 and 2015, but were scrapped. Well, it makes me happy to see them all today.

[@MaxOfFewTrades]

Did... did we just get an answer to what happened to most of the characters over the past 7 years? This is a very surreal experience. And, I'm not sure what to take from this. Is this a return to form? Or a softer send off, the amount of jokes deconstructing your other jokes gives it that feeling. If, by some chance the Bros. behind this actually see this. You've seen the reaction from the internet, we want these characters back, and if you put yourselves back into it, we would be here for it every time. But if you think its past its sell by date and only want to update once or twice a year, well we can't stop you. But thank you for shaping my, and many others childhoods. Homestar means more to people then you even know.

Fan Theory: Homsar is intoxicated by some kind of Void Juice or other hyperpowerful mind affecting substance in this phone call, because in "2 emails" (sbemail71) and SBCG4AP episode 1 Homsar is proven to talk illegibly even on the phone and most of his warblings have a deeper meaning (that can be decoded by the pylon in SBCG4AP Episode 2) so I think Homsar has simply been downgraded to a mortal mind temporarily.

Just in case you didn't listen to the whole thing let me summarize what's been going on with everyone from 2009-2016 *Strong Bad* decided to make a sequel to his numba-one jam "Everybody to the Limit" called "Let's Fhqwhgads Again" (even though everyone told him it was an awful idea) all while continuing to deliver masterfully minded prank calls to Marzipan; including creating a new girl character that looks like a coat rack *Homestar Runner* was doomed to wallow in the shadow of fads that quickly died out while claiming they'd be around forever, and eventually he became so last year he reverted back to 1999 (all while getting it on with Marzipan's sister) *Coach Z*'s creepiness finally landed him in prison (hey, three square meals a day), where he would be tried as a minor with Bubs as his lawyer. He also lost his habit of mispronouncing words, but not his creepy crush on Marzipan *Bubs* tried to come up with a new catch-phrase while defending Coach Z in court. He realized Coach Z was 100% guilty and he shouldn't have been a lawyer, since he switched John Grisham novels with Michael Crichton, and therefore his defense centered around DINOSAURS. He also opened a new "organic" section of the Concession Stand; specializing in "pertaining to the illegal selling and trade of human organs" *Strong Sad* tried to make a new name for himself until a jodhpurs incident landed him in jail. He also realized he had become less depressed over the years and found happiness in reconnecting with his depressing nature *Homsar* finally realized he could speak coherently over the phone *Kevin* asked Marzipan to help him find his Trivia Pursuit 80's edition *Visor Robot* tried to convince Marzipan to confirm how terrible an idea Strong Bad's sequel was *The Poopsmith* openly questioned his choices in life; about his vow of silence and his job at smithing poop (all while sounding like John Linnell) *The King of Town* finally discovered that section in the Old Characters Page where Marizpan was his daughter. Also, we might need a new KOT. *sloshy* broke up again and pawned their instruments, so now they do their tracks over the phone *Puppet Homestar* realized he was sassier than the real Homestar, and his buzzer was spun *Limozeen* tried to make a sequel to their hit song "Nite Mamas" called "Let's Night Mamas Again" *Tucker Donaldson* chastised the Cool Tapes for causing a riot on campus. *Humidbot* tried to expand his personality beyond saying his name AND FINALLY *Marzipan* let her answering machine build-up for years so she could finally get back at Strong Bad :3

[@ragepoweredgamer]

If this is a joke of a "goodbye forever", then it came a bit too late. I grew up, got engaged, got a car, dropped out of school, had two jobs and now have a five year old son. Top comment (at time of typing this) said it very well, but I feel it needs repeating. HSR shaped my childhood. This is what we would go to in middle school when we were supposed to be using computers to be working. Pre-youtube internet was the best internet. You had to know where to go to find the good stuff, and the good stuff was this. Trogdor and the other classics STILL play parts in my life today. I would be first in line to watch new cartoons that came out. You inspired animators like Arin Egoraptor Hansen to make things, and even the jokes therein, and put permanent marks in the sense of humor that the internet has today, and with the most important generation: the ones who cherished the internet instead of taking it for granted. You go, guys. I don't know what you're going to be making after this, but I hope I don't miss it.

I usually remember everything this website has done, but that is something I haven't heard in the longest time!

I mean he is basically completely unable to have a meaningful interaction and everyone thinks he’s some weirdo because of it. Am I looking to deep into this? Yes, yes I am.

This video literally made me cry. I hope life is treating you well. There will always be a special place in my heart for Homestarrunner and pals.

I'm 10 minutes in and this is the greatest thing that has ever. EVER. happened in history

[@Solinaru]

IT'S A APRIL-WEEN MIRACLE!

[@Strumstar]

The actually good scam prank call from Strong Bad for once and the Ouya joke slayed me.

[@Darthzim950]

SO MUCH HAPPENED! I CAN'T COMPREHEND! AAAAH!!!So, Coach Z is in prison for... something (#freecoachz), Homsar speaks properly over the phone, the Poopsmith is having a midlife crisis, Homestar keeps backing the wrong horse, Strong Sad is even more pathetic than usual, Strong Bad getting REAL desperate for his prank calls, Limozeen is making another freaking comeback, SLOSHY still sucks, and we got an address to the "Is Marzipan really the King of Town's daughter"?! This was wonderful. I'm so glad to see/hear these characters again, I missed them. But I have one question...What happened to Senor Cardgage?

[@sayhibobbi]

+IDA Official He finally got to go to Chik-Fil-A.

[@Darthzim950]

***** Yeh, but just a voice. I wanna know where Cardgage went. He was weird, but I missed him.

[@SonofMrPeanut]

+Robert Leu He told me Bethany finally came to fetch the Dodgers.

Lol @ "This prank call has not been my finest, execution."

[@vap1dw817]

"Vince NapMaker from "The World Is My Butt...'" That made me laugh way harder than it should have.

[@cuddlemari]

Awww, everyone but Strong Bad and Homestar sees Marzipan as a safe person to talk to about their personal problems! No wonder Marzipan cares so deeply about her friends and what she stands for.

[@MaximumMadnessStixon]

Where is everyone getting the idea that this is the end of Homestar Runner? It just seemed like a bit of silly fun making light of the fact that the site only gets sporadic updates lately and hasn't had too much action the past seven years. Nothing in this video screams "No more Homestar Runner!" like everyone seems to think.

[@MaximumMadnessStixon]

This was the best one ever guys, good job. Thou when you cut back to 2001 homestar that made me super nostalgic and just thinking back to watching this on my parents computer. You guys are crazy, keep it up!

So Strong Bad can type with boxing gloves, but he can't dial?

[@slendy9600]

well to be fair phone buttons are smaller than keyboard keys but yeah i see what u mean

[@Suchega_Uber]

He didn't know Marzi's number.

[@annabellethepitty]

Nah it is just too hard to animate.

[@joeywomer]

I feel like he could at *least* dial the phone with one of his thumbs.

[@Paul-A01]

He can type with boxing gloves? How?

[@JessieBerrie]

I have neither the time nor the number of words to express how much I really enjoyed this cartoon! I've been hoping for a good April Fool's Day cartoon, plus I was wondering when a 17th answering machine would happen. This is only a glimpse of 7 years' amazingness. Glad that Two More Eggs could tide me over, but welcome home, Brothers Chaps. Welcome home.

[@gankhef5564]

"pound you into the salt...patch." XD They still got it.
