Homestar Runner

Homestar Runner is an flash-based internet cartoon about characters such as Homestar, Strong Bad, Marzipan and The Poopsmith. The website has been around since 2000. They started out with a few cartoons and a couple of games and now, almost 10 years later, they have hundreds of cartoons on their page, which is one of the most popular flash cartoon sites. On top of being so popular, they don't advertise, all their viewers are because of word of mouth.
One of their most popular features on their site are Strong Bad Emails. Strong Bad, apparently some type of mexican wrestler who always wears boxing gloves, answers fan's emails, making fun of their grammar and spelling as well as throwing in a lot of hilarious one-liners.

The thing i find most interesting about Homestar Runner is that it started as a children's book


Their humor and art style kept me visiting their site every Monday since middle school so I could catch the Strong Bad Email or Toon every once in a while and I still bust a gut every time watch it.
