Hero!
Kids will love it, and adults with an eclectic off-beat sense of humor will enjoy it too. Homestar Runner is a Flash cartoon series. It mixes an absurdist sense of humor with references to 1980s and 1990s pop culture, notably video games, classic television and popular music.
Although originally conceived as a book written for children, the site is perhaps most popular with (and has been gravitating toward) young adults, although it does have its share of youth and preteen fans.

HomestarRunner Hits a Homer
Every Monday morning, a bare-chested Flash cartoon creature with an indeterminate accent, a potbelly and a Mexican wrestling mask entertains almost 300,000 people with antics like composing an impromptu techno song.
Not everyone gets it, but enough people flock to Mike and Matt Chapman's HomestarRunner website that its stars, Strong Bad, Homestar, Marzipan and The Cheat are gaining cult status with pre-teens, the Gen-X crowd and everyone in between. To boot, the Atlanta-based brothers have made a tidy business selling T-shirts featuring their creations.
Wired News interviewed the twenty-something Chapman brothers, with contributor Melissa Palmer, who is the voice of Marzipan.
