Strong Bad episodes

I am a fan of Strong Bad and I was wondering which episode is the best one, cause I really don't feel like shelling out $50 for all of the episodes....and is there any sort of story? If I would get say episode 3 first, would I be lost?

No, you would not be missing out on anything if you played them out of order. For me number 3 and 5 stick out as the best in the group.

I looked over the descriptions of the episodes, and the 5th one seems the most interesting, the 3rd seems alright too.....i might just buy the 5th one and see how I like it, and then if I like it, I'll probably just buy the 3rd one and wait till later to buy the others.

Episode 1 is really the only weak link, and even then its good. Episode 5 offers the most variety, Episode 4 is my personal favorite and the only one thats its own true seperate story (since its Dangeresque 3), Episode 3 was fine, but it got pretty repetitive, Episode 2 is also awesome and I definitely laughed the hardest with it.

I'd recommend all of them.
