Biography

Homestar is the star of the show, but he probably doesn't realize it. Ever the butt of jokes and the recipient of nicknames, Homestar is an earnest character with a clean heart and nothing but love for the rest of mankind. Unfortunately, his absolute cluelessness and clumsiness keep him from realizing his full potential. You can never be quite sure whether he and Marzipan are going out or not, but he sure seems to think they are. He weighs about 100 pounds, according to the toon Marshmallow's Last Stand.

Homestar is the star athlete on an unspecified sports team led by Coach Z. He is also colonel of the inactive Homestarmy. His best friend remains Pom Pom. He has some speech impediments; as he says, he has "twouble with his aw's." He also likes to borrow things from (and return things to) Strong Bad, particularly without the latter's knowledge.

Although he is often the target of pranks by Strong Bad, Homestar believes that he is friends with Strong Bad and tries to win his favor, often with bad results which Homestar completely misunderstands. As a whole, Homestar seems to be too dim to realize when people are being mean to him, or when he's being mean to other people. He often unintentionally insults his friends or steps on their feelings and is unable to understand their resulting feelings of anger.

Character Video Transcript

{Page Title: Homerun Hitter!}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Oh, hello. Greetings, one and everyone. Welcome to me... Homestar... Runner... Homestar Runner. Um... what else? I pretty much run the show around here. I date the only girl, I have the only propeller cap (propeller cap twirls). And can run, and jump, and kick the fastest, highest and like nobody's business. If I had to pick one word to describe myself, it would probably be... Fluffy Puff Marshmallows. Or Homestar. Either one, really. They both fit.

STRONG BAD: {offscreen} Don't forget doofus/moron/um...Lionel Richie. {The last word Strong Bad says is selected at random}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Yeah, that too. That's another good one. In closing, I look good in red. Check it out. {turns around, sings} Butt dance, butt da-a-ance!

Homestar's eyes

  • Homestar's eyes move around his head. Most of the time they're like a flounder's eyes, and they switch sides on his face whenever he turns. In the Old Intro 2, you can sort of see Homestar's eyes moving as the camera circles around him.
  • His puppet and his two figurines, on the other hand, have eyes stuck on one side of his head. Occasionally you can get a peek at the other side of Puppet Homestar's face, which looks pretty creepy without any eyes.
  • The Brothers Chaps actually made the eyes velcro, so they can be switched if necessary.
