In the continuity of the Homestar Runner universe, it's often unclear if things are made up or really happen. Occasionally, something that is clearly made up during one toon later appears as a real thing in another toon, without any particular reason or cause. While a fair number of these instances have been fruits of Strong Bad's imagination, the other residents of Free Country, USA have periodicly created something in their heads that later on mysteriously become real. Whether or not the inventors of these mind-bending, reality-defying creatures and creations had anything to do with them, or if they pre-existed their alleged conception, is never revealed nor explained for the mostpart, so this bizzare, blurred line between fantasy and reality remains one of the great unexplicable mysteries in the Homestar Runner universe.
- Both The Goblin and the Visor Robot were made up (by Homestar Runner and Strong Bad, respectively) in Homestarloween Party, and became real in Where's The Cheat? and Senorial Day.
- Trogdor was drawn by Strong Bad in the email dragon and then appeared outside Strong Bad's window in Trogday 08.
- When Strong Bad listed Limozeen and Taranchula in band names, it was implied that he was making them up on the spot (indeed, that's what TBC were doing), not listing bands that already existed in the Homestar Runner universe.
- 20X6 was originally made up by Strong Bad to describe himself as an anime. It has since taken on a life of its own and was shown to be real in alternate universe.
- Sweet Cuppin' Cakes was made up by Strong Bad in response to an email asking him to create a crazy cartoon. Later, Homestar Runner and Strong Bad are seen watching an episode of it on TV. Unlike other instances of this phenomenon, Strong Bad actually notices, and asks "didn't I invent this cartoon?". The characters and place of the cartoon became real in mini-golf.
- Vector Strong Bad was made up by Strong Bad for the game StrongBadZone, but became real in Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 10.2.
- Senor Cardgage was just a creepy comb-over version of Strong Bad until Senor Mortgage came along.
- The TV Time Toons Menu description for Senor Mortgage read: "Wait, is Senor Cartgage real?"
- In army, The Cheat dressed up as Firebert, a character he most likely made up. This later started the Cheat Commandos, an actual television show in Free Country, USA.
- Li'l Brudder and Tendafoot were drawn by Strong Bad, but became a TV show in The Li'l Brudder Show.
- The Wagon Fulla Pancakes was made up by Strong Bad in the email montage. It later appeared in Senorial Day.
- When introduced in animal, the Lappy 486 was a he. In dreamail, Strong Bad imagined it as a she, and she's been that way ever since.
- The SBLOUNSKCHED! bar originally appeared in candy product as Strong Bad's hypothetical candy bar, but Pom Pom later pulls out a bag of Fun-Sized versions of said candy bar in Most in the Graveyard.
- Onion Bubs was first mentioned in original as being a stand-in for the departed Original Bubs, though both Bubs and Marzipan indicate Strong Bad made the whole story up. Nevertheless, Onion Bubs shows up again in Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective and later in Kick-A-Ball.
- Many characters and places from Videlectrix games were made up, but became real in 8-Bit is Enough; most notably elements from Peasant's Quest, Stinkoman 20X6, Halfathalon, Gel-Arshie's Pro Fruitboarder, and Spirits of '76.
