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..."

It is difficult to pick a favorite.

Of course I have a fondness for "Dragon."

"Virus" comes to mind as well as a particularly good showcase of Flash animation. Some of the magic is lost now that Flash is dead and you're probably going to view the cartoon in a video player, but as originally presented they really pulled off some great interface screws like having Homestar pick apart the links at the bottom.

I really miss the Flash era, it felt so much more creative. Hell just having "cartoon or game" as a sliding scale was cool; Homestar Runner cartoons were all at least slightly interactive in ways no one does anymore for lack of a suitable media.

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.
