    Guess my favorites..!

    "THE SYSTEM, IS DOWN. THE SYSTEM, IS DOWN. THE SYSTEM, IS DOWN. THE SYSTEM, IS DOWN. The Cheat! Is grounded!"

    "What is this? Did the quadratic formula explode? I see a 'Strong ba' in there, but it's getting eaten, by some... Linux or something."

    "BACK OFF BABY"

    "No way. You're just a kid! Maybe when you're older..."

    Another vote for "Virus." Lots of 4th wall breaking. Also, the anti-virus report from "Edgar"

    "Computer over? Virus = Very Yes?"

    The one about techno is probably my favorite. I still have that song stuck in my head and I haven't heard it in probably 10+ years. I'll randomly say THE SYSTEM IS DOWN every now and then

    I caught my kids to throw light switch raves, but they don't know the context. It's spread to their friends, also context-less.

    But really, I don't think anything can top that one email where Compy gets Old Yellered.

      "We had that lightswitch installed for you so you could turn the lights on and off. Not so you can throw lightswitch raves!

      Now let's go break open that glowstick and pour it into Homestar Runner's Mountain Dew."

    I was never a huge fan of the series, only watched a few animations, but this stuck with me.

    I still refer to energy drinks as caffeinergy sauce.

    Can't remember specifics, but I do remember playing the point and click adventure game on Steam, that was a blast

    Whats homestar runner? I looked it up but didn't understand very quickly so I figured fans could tell me in a shorter way than a websearch can

    Some of the very first ones were great; Trevor the vampire, and the one that birthed Homsar (possibly the very first one?). Stuck with it for all the classics; lightswitch rave, Trogdor, teen girl squad, 20X6, Sweet Cuppin' Cakes (I still bring up Eh, Steve! to this day).

    Eventually they started getting longer and longer and lost a lot of the punchiness and I stopped watching.

    I think my favourite is probably Trogdor. The way Strong Mad has just carved 'DAGRON' into the table always makes me chuckle for some reason.
