Who would have ever thought I would have paid cash money for what is routinely given away. Granted, I do this every single time I buy a DVD of a film that will most likely come to Starz and I could just record them but when it's an internet thing you don't have that sort of option. Regardless, it's fantastic!
For those living under a rock for the last 8 years or so, Strong Bad is a some form of Lucha Libre wrestler who has boxing gloves for hands and gets in front of his outdated computers and answers emails from fans who write in, usually belittling them before it leads into a comedic skit. The first few take a while to get going but once the Brothers Chaps got the formula down around 20 or so, there's rarely one you'll feel like skipping.
The content may be free online but the DVDs have enough extras to keep you busy. There are some bonus emails as well as interviews and some weird karaoke things. My brother and I are both big fans of the website and thus had a blast with these. Now we have to watch Discs 4 and 5 (sold separately from the first 100) as well as the Everything Else discs.
If I have any complaints it's that the Easter Eggs work better on the site as opposed to on the DVD.
