"Scar, Let Moe!"

Some elements of the Homestar Runner body of work draw inspiration from pieces of entertainment involving the 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!"
• 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 were brothers, members of the group.
• Teen Girl Squad Issue 13 (DVD commentary) — The Brothers Chaps, during the scene with Momkins, make reference to The Robonic Stooges, which was a short-lived Saturday morning cartoon show about the comedy group as clumsy superheroes.
• SBCG4AP Dev Blog - Apr. 24, 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 — When Strong Bad mocks, "Scarlet, MO", it spawns a book title of the same name, featuring, on the cover, Moe resembling Moe Howard.
