Some elements of the Homestar Runner body of work draw inspiration from pieces of entertainment involving the iconic comedy group The Three Stooges.
Appearances
- In Search of the Yello Dello — Homestar Runner sings, "Hello Yello Dello", in imitation of The Three Stooges' quote, "Hello, Hello, Hello! Hello hello hello hello hello!"
- Pumpkin Carve-nival (DVD commentary) — The Brothers Chaps describe the end of the toon as being "kind of the classic Three Stooges ending".
- Email lackey — Strong Bad's remark about "Super service", which he says in a Brooklyn accent, refers to the short Violent Is the Word for Curly.
- Email virus — Strong Bad says, "A wise guy, eh?" in imitation of Moe Howard.
- This was repeated in Compy Catalog.
- Email candy product — One of the subjects found in the H*R Junkmail Filta in Edgar's Baby's Daddy is "Shemp vs. Curly Joe". Shemp and Curly Joe were members of the group.
- Email senior prom (DVD commentary) — When discussing old-timey tuxedos at the prom, The Brothers Chaps mention the cartoon gag of "those flap things" coming untucked and smacking the wearer in the face. Mike recalls that that may be in "some Three Stooges or something".
- Teen Girl Squad Issue 13 (DVD commentary) — During the scene with Momkins, The Brothers Chaps make reference to The Robonic Stooges, a short-lived Saturday morning cartoon show about the comedy group as clumsy cyborg superheroes.

- SBCG4AP Dev Blog (24 Apr 2008) — Strong Bad claims to launch a "heat-seeking 3-Stooges eye-poker missile" in his game. The hallmark slapstick comedy of the Stooges often included eye-poking.
- Email hiding — The cover of Scar, Let Moe! portrays Moe as resembling Moe Howard.
- I Killed Pom Pom — After Homestar mistakes the deflated inflatable pumpkin for a dead Pom Pom, he urges the supposed body to "Say a few bubbles!" This may be a reference to a running gag in the Stooges shorts, where an unconscious or injured person is urged by one of the Stooges to "Say a few syllables!"

- Fan 'Stumes 2020 — Strong Bad jokes about a Homestar making Curly's mouth sounds, to which Homestar performs Curly's head slapping (or at least, he thinks he does) and then performs the famous floor spin.
