Jesus Christ, nothing makes me reminisce about college quite as much as homestar runner.

That site was the beginning of my love affair with all things weird and esoteric on the internet.

I got scroll buttons as the day is long.

First video podcast I ever got on my iPod. Amazed I could watch movies. At least I think I got it from iTunes, might have been limewire. Who knows. Reading this thread is great. I’m sharing the classic viral videos with a younger person now. Going through the classics like: -double rainbow “look at that rainbow!”, -GI joe PSA “hey kids I’m a computer, stop all the downloading”, and, -End of the world “hoookay here’s is ze world, ROUNDDD,…” and now am remembering more by reading comments here. Many of these videos aged just fine in the era of polished-to-attract-advertising influencer “viral videos.” Reading the quotes below, I’ll have to go back and catch H*R , seems like something I didn’t know to appreciate at the time.

[Solvency]

Little compudah

[adamrezich]

what H*R quotes do you find yourself unconsciously quoting to this day?

for me it's "dag, yo"

and, whenever I see "Ontario": "On-tah-REE-oh, CAH-nah-da—ooh, a little south of the border flavor"

[andygcook]

Top quote I say has to be, "Nice jorb, the Chort!" and top mental sound bite I play in my head is "404'd!" whenever a page throws a 404 error.

[TimTheTinker]

To my kids when they do something well: "you did a good jarb"

[smokel]

"Email, I hope it's from a female!" And I often hum the "fhqwgads" tune, and go "boop boop" on an imagined keyboard.

[kridsdale3]

I said uh come on fhqwgads come on fhqwgads push it to the limit everybody to the limit

[bombcar]

I still say “eaten by some kind of Linux” anytime I accidentally cat a binary file.

[erik_seaberg]

“Can we just call you fhqwhgads?” when someone sends a Yubikey code over Slack.

[pjot]

“First draw an S, okay now a more different S”

[I_Am_Nous]

"I'll improve on your technique!"

[pjot]

“I said consummate v's! Consummate!”

[dwighttk]

guy wouldn't know majesty it it bit him in the face

[fknorangesite]

Maybe not a quote per se, but every time I go to the gym and put my boxing gloves on, I think something to the effect of “How am I going to be able to type in these?”

[I_Am_Nous]

I believe I remember "dorito" being used in the context of "deleting something" so I always say to dorito something. If I have misplaced my hat, "where my hat is at?"

Perhaps more because H*R is a brainworm which refuses to leave :)

[colanderman]

My wife despises HR but isn't familiar with that bit, and I misplace my hat on a daily basis, so that quote is my private in-joke in my household.

[archagon]

Baleted!

[mattgreenrocks]

"what what, the email"

"...oh trevor, I pine for you!"

"..ohhh, there's TWO of them"

"how's it hangin, texas?"

[gsuuon]

Whenever anything is down: "The system.. is down.. The system.. is down"

[MandieD]

“Burninatin”… and telling my toddler off for throwing a light switch rave.

[smcl]

There's so much in that sbemail that I love. I recently remembered his second attempt at the dragon, saying "Let's put one of those beefy arms back on him for good measure. That looks really good ... coming out of the back of his neck there" and was chuckling to myself. And the little music video at the end where the drawings all feature nicely shaded drawings like the one Strong Sad made that got burned. God what a site :D
