'''Hremails''' (a contraction of "Homestar Runner Emails") are installments of an email show by [[Homestar Runner]], similar in nature to [[Strong Bad Email]] (with which it frequently overlaps). Homestar's computer was the [[Happy 8600]], which is modeled after the [[Wikipedia:OLPC XO-1|XO-1]] computer for the [[Wikipedia:One Laptop Per Child|One Laptop Per Child Program]]. The first time a hremail was officially seen was in the 200th Strong Bad Email, [[email thunder]]. [[Hremail 49]] (which receives a passing mention by Homestar in the Sbemail) and [[Hremail 24]] were also released as [[secret pages]]. In email thunder, [[Strong Bad]] interrupted a hremail, vowing to ruin the program after learning of its existence. Strong Bad does this by sending a fake email to Homestar, asking for a tour of his "[[Not X|not-in-front-of-your-computer]]" (AKA [[The Field]]). After Homestar leaves, Strong Bad uses a super-sized bottle of [[Mountain Dew]] to ruin Homestar's Happy 8600, similar to Homestar pouring Mountain Dew on the [[Compy 386]] in the email [[anything]].

This guy reads an email

Hremails (a contraction of "Homestar Runner Emails") are installments of an email show by Homestar Runner, similar in nature to Strong Bad Email (with which it frequently overlaps). Homestar was first seen checking emails on the Happy 8600, a laptop modeled after the XO-1 computer for the One Laptop Per Child Program. The first time a Hremail was officially seen was in the 200th Strong Bad Email, email thunder, in which Strong Bad vowed to ruin the show after learning of its existence. Hremail 49 (which receives a passing mention by Homestar in the Strong Bad Email) and Hremail 24 (which is mentioned in Hremail 49) were also released as secret pages. Both of these Hremails were included in strongbad_email.exe Disc Six as Easter eggs in the DVD version of email thunder.

On January 26, 2009, Hremail 62 was made in full and was followed by Hremail 2000 the following week. The present Hremail format is similar to a television program and takes place in the Hremail Room. Homestar Runner now reads out the email from a sheet of paper and the Happy 8600 has been replaced with a talking microfiche reader called the Arturo 9000.

Prior to the post-Flash site update, the full-length Hremails were only listed in the New Stuff menu, with the exception of Hremail 3184; due to it being Strong Bad Email 201, it was also listed on the Strong Bad Email menu. After being removed from the New Stuff menu, Hremails 62 and 2000 were added to the Shorts menu on January 20, 2021 and Hremail 7 was added on January 24, 2021.

In email thunder, Homestar states that Hremails had existed "since forever", to Strong Bad's surprise. In Hremail 7, it is suggested that they began during or before 2001, actually predating Strong Bad Emails.

This is not the first time Homestar has been seen checking emails. He substituted for Strong Bad in anything and 50 emails, and must have had a computer to email Strong Bad during the time of credit card. It is unknown if these qualify as Hremails.

Other Hremails

In email thunder, Homestar describes several Hremails, two of which took place during the Strong Bad Emails caper and long pants, and another in which Homestar dressed up as Coach Z. The same Strong Bad Email also shows Homestar checking an email before Strong Bad interrupts, and later checking an email sent by Strong Bad. In 8-Bit is Enough, Homestar mentions a Hremail similar to japanese cartoon, though Strong Bad claims that it's actually his own email. Their numbers are unknown.

Subject: My Inbox Runneth Ova!

Oh, hello everyone! For some unknown reason I'm getting this big cavalcanche of emails all of the sudden. They're filling up the basement and I'm running out of paper towels! Just sit tight and hremails will be back to normal before you know it. And thanks again to everyone who participated in Bacon Pretend Week! Ron Staple you are a GENIUS! Okay bye, Homestar Runner
