Homestar Runner now bears my full endorsement. Early on, I found it objectionably pointless. I thought Homestar was basically just a Brak clone, while arguably Strong Bad looks like Brak and talks and acts like Triumph the Insult Comic Dog.
I have come around. I think the primary virtue of H*R, in a word, is persistence. It's a whole that's bigger than the sum of its parts over time. It's like a really big painting where any idiot (Flash skill aside) could produce each individual stroke, but it takes dedication, creativity, and smarts to put the pieces together into a satisfying whole.
So check it out. Seriously.
