Transcript
{Homestar Runner is running across The Field. The singers sing along, as with the Intro.}
SINGERS: Everybody! Everybody!
{The scene starts to skip.}
SINGERS: Eh-! Eh-! Eh-!
{The scene skips faster before a rock version of the Intro takes over. During the rock intro, it shows slides of the characters. Then, lightning turns the characters into their HSR Xeriouxly Forxe forms.}
SINGER: Everybody! E-e-e-everybody!
Everybody! E-e-e-everybody!
Everybody! E-e-e-everybody

Edgy and angry, so deadly and jangly!

{The sides of the screen come together with an explosion. All twelve main characters in Xerioxly Forxe style appear around the title "HSR Xeriouxly Forxe".}
H. STAR: {struggling, through gritted teeth} It's Xeriouxly Forxe! {turning around} Did I say that right?
S. BAD: {also through gritted teeth} Xhut up and juxt xay your linex! {mumbling, in Strong Bad's voice} Aw, it's really hard to talk like xhix.
{After a few moments, the viewer is redirected to Main Page 21.}
Fun Facts
Explanations
- The toon is a parody of the practice of taking an older property and doing a redesign in an effort to appealing to a younger audience (for example, taking Looney Tunes characters and producing Loonatics Unleashed). In recent years, these redesigns have often involved more angular lines, flashy effects, and a darker tone.
Trivia
- This toon marked the first time in five months that homestarrunner.com received a new toon.
- The RSS description of this toon is:
Homestar and Strong Bad are BACK like you've never seen them before! Pointier, angrier, pre-teenier!! The 6-12 demographic won't know what hit em when they witness Xeriouxly Forxe, the all-new adventures of Homestar Runner and friends with a bold new look and an edgier style that just screams, "Hey 6-12 demographic! Do you know what hit you? Can you tell our focus group person that you don't know what hit you, please?" With all those X's in the name, it has to be cool!
Remarks
- Except for Homsar, every character that normally lacks visible arms gains some sort of arms when upgraded. However, The Cheat loses them as Ch8t.
Fixed Goofs
- After The Poopsmith is transformed, the cutaway to the next character showed The Poopsmith in non-transformed form. This was fixed within a half-hour of release.
Inside References
- S. Sad has the head of an elephant.
- Xeriouxly is in the new name.
- The Cheat used "Ch8t" previously in mile.
- All 12 main characters appear in this toon.
Real-World References
- H. Star has Doctor Octopus-style arms strapped around his neck.
