Sundry Sunday: Eggpo Speedrun

Sundry Sunday is our weekly feature of fun gaming culture finds and videos, from across the years and even decades.

To recap. Ten years ago, Disney hired the Brothers Chaps, creators of seminal Flash series Homestar Runner, to make for them a series of Flash shorts for Youtube and (I think?) broadcast as bumpers, called Two More Eggs.

At that time Matt and Mike Chapman already had a working relationship with Disney working on their shows Gravity Falls and Wander Over Yonder, and it was an opportunity to return to their roots making little shorts in Flash. The Two More Shorts are generally brilliant, and one subseries of them that fortuitously strays just inside the borders of our mandated focus is Eggpo, about two Goomba-like minion characters within a video game. We’ve covered five of the seven episodes so far; check out the Eggpo tag for all of them.

In Eggpo #6: Speedrun (2¼ minutes), our underling friends get invested in the success of a speedrunner blazing through their game.
