The first full-length Strong Bad cartoon in 4 years was just posted

Emily St. James
Emily St. James was a senior correspondent for Vox, covering American identities. Before she joined Vox in 2014, she was the first TV editor of the A.V. Club.

Look, there’s a new Strong Bad video over at HomeStarRunner.com. Just like the Brothers Chaps, the series’ directors and writers, promised over the summer. And it features Coach Z! You probably forgot all about Coach Z, but there he is.

This is a music video dedicated to the wonder of the Fish Eye Lens. If you don’t know what a Fish Eye Lens is, then you are about to get educated in song, which is the very best kind of education, isn’t it? Strong Bad and Coach Z appear, but there are cameos from a number of your favorite Homestar Runner characters.

Oh, just watch it already.
