so how good or more importantly, age-appropriate would you say HR is? I've never seen it.

Glad you asked!

As for quality:
Homestar Runner, like all shows that run this long, goes up and down in quality. The early Strong Bad Emails are fine but not nearly as good as what comes later in the series. In my opinion, the series was at its best in the mid-2000s, but the recent cartoons are really funny. Especially after Matt Chapman returned from his writing stint on Gravity Falls, you could feel the quality of the writing increase and the jokes becoming more clever.

As for age-appropriateness:
Homestar Runner is much more age-appropriate than what Common Sense Media says (which is 16+ for some reason). The worst that the series gets is occasional references to making out and occasional use of VERY VERY mild language (barely a concern honestly but still worth mentioning). Violence is a bigger issue, while it's mostly childish slapstick, characters can get seriously injured and on the rarest of occasions some blood is visible. If you watch Cartoon Network it's probably nothing you haven't seen before.

Tl;dr - Homestar Runner is really good and it's probably appropriate for ages 12 and up.

I got introduced to HR as a wee lad by some obscure Disney show called Two More Eggs

Found out when I was older that they were made by the same people

Also, the Strongbad game by Telltale isn't bad, I would recommend it.

Didn't they make like ten of them?

No, I'm pretty sure there were just 5 episodes, but forgive me if I confused you. I usually just think of them as one game.

I just started watching Homestar Runner the other day and it's really good.
My favorite quote so far has to be:
“Explain to me how drowning them wouldn't ruin their date.”

That's one of my favorite toons. Every line in that is gold
