Awesome post! We love Trogdor and we are not alone judging by the video full of fan submissions. Thanks. Glad I didn't miss it.
Also, everyone please help phrontist find his sence of humor.

I just think it's amazing, or actually pathetic, that somebody got a Trogdor tattoo.

I didn't see an FPP for Stinkoman's birthday. What gives?

I once saw two frozen shrimp stuck together that looked like something. I forget what.

Well I liked this post. Better than all the politics crap thats about.

WolfDaddy is right — chiaroscuro shading is where it's at. (And #58 is one of the awesomest emails ever.)

Didn't we used to have a kinda loose policy that, except in cases like spam and self-links, we didn't crap all over posts we didn't like? Sheesh. Who peed on *your* thatched roof cottages this morning?

Damn. I'm, like, getting royalties and bylines for my one-lines.

It's a as almost good as a cold ones.

So people keeping sending me to that site -- and I sit through these badly animated cartoons -- and I don't laugh once!

What's the joke? I really like humour! I laugh hugely at least once a day!

If I don't get an FPP for my birthday, I'm going to flag this. And then cry. And then eat a cupcake with a single candle by myself.

For you, allen.

When I closed the tab for that first link, the audio kept playing. I had to quit Firefox to get it to stop. This made me unhappy.

I'm assuming this is one of those cultish internet running jokes and will pretend to get it. That said, I kinda wish I could be a dragon with a single Popeye arm. Someday. Someday...

A friend of mine got arrested for arson. He was wearing a trogdor sweatshirt.

brundlefly, perhaps Strongbad's excellent dissections of two musical styles will help you along your way to Strongbadia.

I named by boy lizard Trogdor. He loves burninating things in his cage. He will also be 3 very soon.

Happy Birthday, Trogdor.

Thanks for those links WolfDaddy, I’d seen the first but not the second.

If Trogdor is not the best of the web, I do not know what is.

Of course, the fact that I do not know what the best of the web is has been demonstrated elsewhere as well.

Wow, 3 years! Consummate excellence.

If I like this, does it mean I'm easily amused? Anyway, is there already a name for these little fan submitted flash-movie-centered-around-one-silly-meme thingies? You know, like this one or the eternally remembered All Your Base? Also, it seems, the memes these movies are based on are getting increasingly random.

Happy Birthday to the Burninator!

Trogdor is the best of the web. What that says about the web, I leave as an exercise to the reader.

I made (and wore) a StrongBad mask for Halloween this year. Three people, out of the, oh, 400 or so that I encountered that night, got it. I've chosen to believe that I'm way cooler than the 400, instead of feeling way geekier than them.

MrMoonPie - That is a pretty excellent Strongbad mask. Mind if I ask what the other mask was?

I'm an Elder at our church. The Lead Pastor and his wife gave me a Strongbad t-shirt for my birthday last year to match his Homestar t-shirt. We later wore our matching coolness to a cocktail party at their place.

At the party, his 7-year-old daughter recited:

"The scroll, the scroll,
the buttons, the buttons,
Scrolling so smoove like
tha butta on tha muffins!"

I wish more churches were like ours...*sigh*

Anyways...Happy B-day, Burninator!

They just don't get humor in some places of this country.

Happy birthday, Trogdor! Burninate the birthday cake!
