Several of the made-up words in the Homestar Runner universe feature multiple consecutive consonant clusters. Most of them are formed in Strong Bad Emails and have more consonants than any other real word in the English language, usually making them slightly difficult to pronounce. Most of the consonants are also part of consonant blends. The words strengths and lengths have five consonants in a row, more than any other in the English language.
Examples
- Strong Sad's Lament and email retirement — Strong Sad refers to his feet as "soolnds". This has four consonants in a row.
- Email candy product — The name of Strong Bad's candy bar is "SBLOUNSKCHED!", which has five consonants in a row.
- Sbemail 169 Deleted Scene — When asked to spell any word, Coach Z makes Strong Bad type "pfargtl", which has four consonants in a row. It is supposedly an animal.
- Email fan club — Strong Bad's made-up word, "engsmsplode", has seven consonants in a row.
