Which way is up again?

On April Fool's Day 2006, The Brothers Chaps changed the site so that every toon was upside down.

Contents

Fun Facts

Remarks

Glitches

  • Any time that a second Flash file is overlayed on the first (like the "What's New" button on the main page) it is not flipped.
  • Many of the rollover button effects on the Main Pages do not work.
  • Several toons that are not the usual 550x400 resolution are not centred properly:
  • Some pages have invisible or missing text:
  • The Eject button on the Characters page (which normally makes Homsar's video come out of the VCR) does not work.
  • The video clips in HomestarRunner.com PAY PLUS! repeat themselves automatically.
  • The rando link on the navbar does not work.
  • The Strong Bad Email list does not appear, and the "random.bat" does not work.
    • Additionally, the ripples on the Lappy 486 appear and disappear much faster than normal, and do not stay if the mouse button is held down.
  • TROGDOR! doesn't load up properly - the game itself takes up only the bottom right quarter of the usual frame, and the rest is filled in with gray.

Real-World References

  • The Flash file that causes the pages to be flipped contains the phrase "They call him Flipper", which is one of the lyrics to the Flipper theme song.
