Poor Acting
From Homestar Runner Wiki
Despite the substantial number of budding actors in Free Country, USA, many of the main characters appear to have poor acting abilities. In many commercials and stage-productions, the actors talk awkwardly and with little enthusiasm, and may occasionally laugh unconvincingly.
Appearances
- A Decemberween Pageant — Most of the characters speak flatly throughout the pageant. Homestar Runner is unaware that he is on stage when he talks to Marzipan at the beginning. Bubs mishears one of Strong Bad's lines and later mispronounces the word "gold". Strong Bad is later "attacked" by a squid and reacts unenthusiastically. In one scene, Strong Bad, Bubs and Marzipan attempt to ad lib, but do so with much difficulty.
- Email stunt double — All of the characters seem to speak quite slowly during the clips.
- Email dangeresque 3 — Most of the dialogue in this movie can be considered to be clichéd. Coach Z misses his cue, speaks awkwardly on the phone and manages to muddle his line before asking the director, "How was that?" Strong Bad and Homestar seem to forget their lines during the racquetball scene, requiring them to ab lib, and laugh unconvincingly near the end.
- Blubb-O's Commercial — Strong Bad and Homestar Runner act unenthusiastically during this advert. Also, Strong Bad, The Cheat and Strong Mad laugh forcibly near the beginning.
- SBCG4AP Gameplay Trailer — For the entire duration of this trailer, Strong Bad and Homestar speak unconvincingly and with little enthusiasm.
- Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People — In the tutorial segments, Bubs forgets his part at first. When reminded, he speaks very flatly and unemotionally when he's supposed to be sad. Strong Bad and Strong Sad also say their lines rather impassively. All three characters break out of their parts and speak to each other normally throughout the tutorial.
- Email being mean — Coach Z's Nicetown Players, consisting of Coach Z, Marzipan and Strong Mad, act poorly during their sketch about being nice; many of their lines are non sequiturs, Strong Mad misses his cue and later breaks character to tease Coach Z.
