"That's a healthy piece of real estate."

The Brothers Chaps tend to toss the letter G around in places one would not normally expect to see it. It seems as if when The Brothers Chaps need to pick a letter, G is usually their choice.

Mispronunciation of G

This James sucks.

The letter G can be pronounced two different ways in English: a hard G (IPA: /g/), as in "good" or a soft G (/dʒ/), similar to J, as in "gin". However, in the Homestar Runner universe, characters will pronounce words with a soft G that normally have the hard G.

G as J

• Email website — Strong Bad is unsure whether to pronounce "gif" with a hard or soft G.
• A Decemberween Pageant — Dr. Christmas pronounces "gold" as "jold".
• Homsar Main Page — Homsar reads "Games" as "james".
• Email the show — Marshie says "hey guys" as "hey juys".
• Email isp — Strong Bad is once again confused about the pronunciation of "gif".
• Email redesign — Sundae Drivin' displays "Your James Over" when Strong Bad loses.
• Main Page 25 — Marshie mispronounces both "guys" and "games" as "juys" and "james".

G as Gr

• Teen Girl Squad Issue 4— Cheerleader says "Grood", which she corrects by claiming it is a portmanteau of "good and great; great and good".
• Teen Girl Squad Issue 14— Upon being exempt from sit-ups, Cheerleader exclaims "Thank Groodness!"
• Teen Girl Squad Issue 15— Cheerleader pronounces it this way three times:
  • "Oh my grosh, gals!"
  • "Again I ask, gresh who got a date for the prom".
  • "I just grot asked to the prom by Cheerleader Brian!"
