Oven Mitts

From Homestar Runner Wiki

Oven mitts are gloves used for foods too hot to handle, or as an acceptable substitute for boxing gloves.

Appearances

• Debut: In Search of the Yello Dello — Strong Bad wears them in both versions of the toon. In the old version, they are not commented on. In the new version, Marzipan asks if they are hers, to which Strong Bad replies that they are his "training gloves, probably". He states in the commentary that he "never wore a pair of oven mitts in [his] life", and that the mitts were added "using the most advanced computer magic available". Strong Mad wears them in an alternate version of the scene.
• Homestar Quiz — If you get a perfect score, Prinicpal Strong Bad offers you cookies for a job well done, holding the tray with the oven mitts (subsequently contradicting his statement in the Yello Dello commentary).
• Email halloweener — Strong Bad states that if you can't get boxing gloves for your Strong Bad costume, oven mitts will do. Homestar Runner promptly receives one on his head.
