In the continuity of the [[Homestar Runner universe]], it's often unclear if things are [[History According To Strong Bad|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.

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 most part, so this bizzare, blurred line between fantasy and reality remains one of the great unexplicable mysteries in the Homestar Runner universe.

*[[The Goblin]] and the [[Gremlin]] were made up (by [[Homestar Runner]] and [[Bubs]] respectively) in [[Homestarloween Party]], and became real in [[Where's The Cheat?]] Similarly, [[Strong Bad]] made up the [[Visor Robot]] for the aforementioned Halloween toon, and it became real in [[Senor Mortgage]].
 +
*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 [[The Brothers Chaps]] were doing), not listing bands that already existed in the Homestar Runner universe.
 +
*[[Stinkoman]] from [[20X6]] was originally made up by Strong Bad to describe himself as a [[Japanese cartoon]]. He makes an appearance in [[Free Country, USA]] in the Halloween cartoon [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]]. [[20X6]] was shown to be real in the email [[alternate universe]].
 +
*[[Trogdor]] was drawn by [[Strong Bad]] in the email [[dragon]]. He later became the title character of a real video game, [[TROGDOR!]], as seen in [[Arcade Game]].  Trogdor became a real creature around the time he appeared outside Strong Bad's window in [[Trogday 08]].
 +
*[[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 [[Decemberween Sweet Cuppin' Cakes|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 Sweet Cuppin' Cakes characters, and [[Sweet Cuppin' Cakes Land]], 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 Cardgage 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]].
 +
*[[Da Huuuuuudge]] and [[Sterrance]] were both made up by Strong Bad in [[animal]], but became real in [[alternate universe]].
 +
*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.
 +
*[[Saddy Dumpington]] was originally a folk hero that [[Strong Sad]] claimed to have made up in [[A Folky Tale]], but Saddy appears as a television show in [[Toikey TV]].
 +
*Strong Bad made up [[Brainkrieg]] in [[death metal]] to illustrate how not to write lyrics.  The band later made three reappearances in [[Teen Girl Squad]]-style toons, but in the October 19, 2009 [[FeedBurner#Ween - Brainkrieg Halloween Song|FeedBurner]] entry, Strong Bad implies that the band is real.
 +
*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]].
 +
*[[Blubb-O's]] was first mentioned in the DVD commentary for [[Drive-Thru]], when Strong Bad tried to guess what restaurant the [[Drive-Thru Whale]] has connections with.  Its evolution into a real restaurant was briefly mentioned in [[nightlife]] later.
 +
*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]] and [[Stinkoman 20X6]].
 +
*[[she likes cloth]] was a band Strong Bad made up in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 12]]. It became real in email [[independent]], where the band for Pom Pom's indie film, ''[[city (comma) state]]'', was called "she likes cloth".

This article may need to think of a better commando name. If you have a suggestion, or if you would like to comment on one that may have already been proposed, please see the talk page.
"Wait, is Senor Cardgage real?!"
I kinda black out a lot lately and when I wake up sometimes things I made up in my brain come to life. I practically pee my pants every time a Cheat Commandos comes on.
— Strong Bad, Decomposing Pumpkins FeedBurner description

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 periodically 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 most part, so this bizzare, blurred line between fantasy and reality remains one of the great unexplicable mysteries in the Homestar Runner universe.
