For years, Mike and Matt Chapman (and tech guru Ryan Sterritt) have sent out a consistently sharp and funny weekly short film/email, in which the tempestuous Strong Bad responds to questions sent in by viewers. In addition to Strong Bad, the characters of the HR universe—Free Country USA—include Homestar Runner himself, Strong Mad, Strong Sad, Coach Z, The Cheat, Marzipan, Pom Pom, Bubs, The Poopsmith, and The King of Town. Before the word “webisode” had cluttered the e-waves, Homestar Runner was doing its own thing with tender irreverence. The Brothers Chaps have a special ability to satirize and poke fun at anything you could imagine—music, caffeine, video games, sleepovers, movies, computer viruses, funerals, public radio, theme parks, and even animation itself—without ever coming across as snarky or bitter. There’s an inherent sweetness to their humor that makes Homestar Runner that rarely encountered pleasurable family friendly treat.
But back to the main reason for this post. Recently, the Brothers Chaps decided to sharpen their hilarious sharp blades on our very own industry. That Coach Z was inspired by site co-creator Craig Zobel (Great World of Sound) is only more proof that Strong Bad is up to the challenge of breaking down this ultra-sensitive dilemma to its core.
