Marzipan's Answering Machine

From Homestar Runner Wiki

Marzipan's Answering Machine is probably one of the most overlooked sections on the Homestar Runner website, likely because it has little or no animation. The messages often dive deeper into interpersonal relationships between the characters, with each short message packed with insight. Some mainstays of the section are Strong Bad's unrelenting prank calls, Homestar's constant misunderstandings, and Coach Z's and Strong Sad's depressing ramblings. It also features various other surprise messages and cameos from major and minor characters.
