== Why? ==

What the crap? Why? {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 07:34, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
: I dunno. Why not? Maybe they just had lots and lots of old The Cheat drawings sitting around. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 07:53, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

I'm with you, thunderbird. -- [[User:TheRealZajac|The Real Zajac]] 00:09, 13 Feb 2006 (PST)
:I believe the answer to the question "Why?" can in this case be answered in two words: "Why not?" {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 08:10, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
::Wow, that was... odd. Feels like a Fanstuff. But I suppose it was because they have so dang many sketches lying around by now that they could edit them into a slideshow—kind of like leftovers casserole. The whole thing felt very Japanese, like the vibe of the [[Super NES|original theme song video]]. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 08:28, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

Weird little toon. Heh. Maybe this was an early... uh... *very* early [[cheatday|The Cheatday]] present? -[[User:YK|YK]] 10:35, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

:Happy mornings. Email later. This will be a good day. Anybody want to count the drawings to make sure there are 500 of them? I'm kidding. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 12:22, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

::<s>There are exactly 498 frames (not including the "loading" and the "done"). Each frame contains one The Cheat, so there should be about 500, if not exactly 498.</s> Hmm. There are exactly 536 frames altogether. Doing it again shows me the first 13 frames are "loading", and the last 23 frames are "done". First 13 frames + last 23 frames = 36. 536 - 36 = 500. Exactly 500 frames, each including one The Cheat, which means there are exactly 500 The Cheats. Yay! {{User:FireBird/sig}} 13:37, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
:::I counted every single little The Cheat in the background (including ones that are usually obscured) and got to 407. - {{User:Joshua/sig}}

Is this the Bros Chaps equivalent of "I got nothin'"?
:This toon was accompanied by a "new email soon" button, which makes me think that they're just giving us a snack before the main course is introduced. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 16:06, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
::That snack was disgusting!!!! &mdash [[User:Young Roy|Young Roy]]
Is this supposed to be a semi-rip of the HamsterDance?
- Kharnellius

== That Was Fast... ==

''Dayum'', you guys are fast. XD

~ [[User:Jessica Ingmann|Jessica Ingmann]]
: I've written plenty of pages before, happened to be around when the 'toon went up, and it's not like there was a whole lot ''to'' this one... --{{User:Jay/sig}} 08:30, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

::I honestly don't think there's any way better to summarize this toon except "What the crap? Why?". You get cupcakes, thunderbird.

== Picture ==

I don't think we should have the image for this toon be the one with the real ghost cheat easter egg enabled. Can we have a different picture? - {{User:Alcnolien/sig}} 14:21, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

:I agree. I'll replace the current one with a new one. {{User:FireBird/sig}} 14:24, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

== i can't hear it LOL ==

i'm in a library and I can't hear the toon till I get home - so, after reading the comments here ... I am convinced that it REALLY DOES suck ... I'm not just prejudging it from the silent version. --{{User:Nerd42/sig}} 15:28, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

:All you're missing is music. Oh, and it doesn't suck. {{User:FireBird/sig}} 15:29, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

::um ... yeah it does. this crap would never survive on Newgrounds --{{User:Nerd42/sig}} 20:46, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
::: No flash survives on Newgrounds unless it satifies one of the following: A.) It's really good. B.) It involves video game characters C.) It involves pooping D.) It involves pot-smoking E.)It involves violence G.) It involves sex. I have seen too many flashes there that satisfy B,C,D,E way too well without satisfying A. - cakeman
::::Yeah. Newgrounds seems to do that. Even though crappiness seems to have no effect. See: Sonic adventure 2 in four minutes; Super mario dumbshine; and super mario dy es. —[[User:Young Roy|Young Roy]]
::::It actually doesn't "suck" ''as much'' when it's accompanied by music. It's got a catchy tune. It's just a little bit of candy that they gave us before the Strong Bad Email. Appreciate that TBC gave you anything at all. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 21:11, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
:::To respond to nerd42: I didn't think it was that bad, myself, and could see it as being something offered on Albinoblacksheep. [[User:Spell4yr|Spell4yr]] 04:05, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

== Unique ==
Are each of the 500 The Cheats unique? Can somebody compare some and see if he can find any matches? (Because showcasing 500 unique Teh C. sketches is probably the point of this short.) - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 16:12, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
*possibly... i thought it repeated every 15 times or so, but im not sure after looking at it. to check,right click on the flash and uncheck play, then hit forward for each frame. do a screenshot of each one, and open them in a picture editor that allows multiple layers. then compare them in that. have fun.{{User:Csours/sig}} 17:53, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

==Music Track Layers==
there are 3 music layers on this thing, the drums, the cheat, and some midi/synthesizer type thing... any of them familiar on their own? {{User:Csours/sig}} 17:56, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
*Definitely the drum loop is from the homestar runner theme song. -[[User:Eman]]

==I agree with Strong Bad now...==
:Too much of a good thing is an awesome thing, but too much of an awesome thing is, um, dumb. And bad. -[[Strong Bad]] &mdash [[User:Young Roy|Young Roy]]
:I don't see why everyone is complaining. I liked it. {{User:Salty/sig}} 03:54, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
== that was crap==
just a load of the cheats and crappy music is all you need to make shit

[[Image:logo.png|thumb|The Homestar Runner logo]]
- '''Homestar Runner''' (often abbreviated '''HR''', '''HSR''' or '''H*R''') is an animated cartoon series available mostly through homestarrunner.com. It has an absurdist sense of humor similar to that found in ''[[Wikipedia:H.R. Pufnstuf|H.R. Pufnstuf]]''. Although originally conceived as [[Original Book|a book written for children]], the site is perhaps most popular with (and has been gravitating toward) young adults, with its short movies, games, charmingly naïve music, and plentiful opportunities for interaction.
==Cartoons==
The [[Toons|cartoons]] nominally center on [[Homestar Runner]], a somewhat dim but goodhearted athlete. The character [[Strong Bad]], however, is often more popular among fans, mostly through his near-weekly updates of [[Strong Bad Email]], short cartoons in which he answers viewer email. Strong Bad works closely with his sidekick [[The Cheat]] and uses his brother [[Strong Mad]] as the muscle in his operations. Together, the three prey on Strong Bad's awkward and constantly depressed brother [[Strong Sad]]. Many of the site's features—[[Songs|music]], [[Games|games]], [[Main Pages|main pages]], etc.—are based on things from the Strong Bad Emails.

Several other characters fill out the [[Free Country, USA|world]]: Homestar's hippie girlfriend [[Marzipan]], his best friend [[Pom Pom]], their coach [[Coach Z]], local [[Bubs' Concession Stand|concession stand]] operator and dancer [[Bubs]], [[The King of Town]], and his [[The Poopsmith|Poopsmith]]. Rounding out the cast is [[Homsar]], a gibberish-speaking character created on account of (and in mock of) [[homsar|a poorly written email to Strong Bad]].

Another popular feature on the website is Strong Bad's crudely drawn comic series ''[[Teen Girl Squad]]''. The comic parodies four archetypal high-school girls and their equally archetypal quest for attractiveness, popularity, and the occasional Pan-Asian Cuisine.

Nearly every Monday, some sort of update (a short, a longer cartoon, a Strong Bad e-mail, a video game, or real-life merchandise like CDs and action figures) is added to the website.

==Background==
The series is the product of [[Matt Chapman|Matt]] and [[Mike Chapman]], who typically call themselves "[[The Brothers Chaps]]." Matt Chapman provides the voices of the male characters, while [[Missy Palmer]] (Mike's wife) does that of Marzipan. Mike Chapman provides the stilted voices for [[Powered by The Cheat|The Cheat's amateurish Flash cartoons]]. Many other [[Contributors|contributors]] help with the series.

Because the Brothers Chaps run their own website, they have a creative freedom that they would not have doing a regular TV show. Though the site sells [[Store|Homestar merchandise]], it has no commercials, and a few of the cartoons parody advertising, with products like [[Fluffy Puff Marshmallows]]. The Internet has allowed them to reach a large audience that they wouldn't have access to otherwise. Originally, they developed Homestar Runner as a labor of love, and for their own amusement. It has grown large enough that merchandise sales pay for all of the costs of running the website. An article in the ''Chicago Tribune'' on July 24, 2003, reports [[Don and Harriet Chapman|the retired parents of the Brothers Chaps]] are spending a lot of time dealing with the business aspects of the website.

The website, built mostly out of [[Wikipedia:Macromedia Flash|Macromedia Flash]] animations, is filled with hidden [[Easter egg]]s: if a certain area on the page is mouse-clicked at the right time, an additional cartoon or screen will appear. For example, in the Strong Bad Email [[studying]], viewers can view a hidden [[Bookazon.com|Web page]] about a book that Strong Bad mentions. Also, at the end of the e-mail [[vacation]], you can click on one of five postcards to hear what Strong Bad thinks of the particular [[Strong Bad's Vacation Spots|place he has visited]].

== Biography ==
'''Homestar Runner''' (middle name possibly [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig|Michael]] or [[time capsule#Commentary Transcript|Hal]]) is the star of his website namesake, but he probably doesn't realize it. Ever the butt of jokes and the recipient of [[Nicknames#Homestar Runner|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. He's not completely stupid, though, and has proven to be remarkably clever in the past, though such occurrences are few and far between. You can never be quite sure whether or not he and [[Marzipan]] are going out, but he sure seems to think they are. According to the toon [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]], he weighs about one hundred pounds.

Homestar is the star athlete on an unspecified sports team led by [[Coach Z]] and keeps it that way via vigorous workouts, as revealed in the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[dullard]]. He is also the colonel (which is always pronounced phonetically) of the inactive [[Homestarmy]], while his best friend remains [[Pom Pom]]. He has some speech impediments (as he says, he has "twouble with his aw's"), and appears to have short-term memory problems, as he frequently forgets things he has just done or said, (for examples, see the [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 12.2|12th Answering Machine]] or [[Homestar Presents: Presents]]). He also tends to "borrow" things from (and return things to) [[Strong Bad]], for example, [[Strong Bad's Fondue Pot|Strong Bad's fondue pot]]. Though he [[Lack of Visible Arms|lacks a visible pair of arms]], he is still able to function as though he has them, being able to carry and throw things and even type proficiently. It's generally accepted that either he ''does'' have arms, but for reasons that are never explained, they are invisible, or that he has limited telekinetic powers. He frequently uses two-syllable exclamations, like "Hi-Ya!", "Highball!", and "Ah-tpoo!".

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 that 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. Another quirk of Homestar is his ability to be easily outsmarted at his own game, and still be completely oblivious and even happy. As Strong Bad put it in email 124, [[secret recipes]], "It's like, even when we win, he wins."

Presently, Homestar works at an unnamed tech company with Strong Bad and [[The Cheat]], but has frequently dabbled in the entertainment industry. He made several [[Fluffy Puff Commercial|commercials]] for [[Fluffy Puff Marshmallows]] along with the product's mascot, [[Marshie]]. He is also the host of an obscure game show named "[[The Show]]", has co-starred in [[Dangeresque]], sung several hit singles such as "[[Everybody Knows It]]", "[[Puppet Jam: Bad Jokes|Bad Jokes]]" and other jams with [[They Might Be Giants]], and "[[montage|Party Party Party]]", revealed that he is considering a career in [[crying|male modeling]], and also guest starred in an episode of [[Caleb Rentpayer]] (in which he shot Caleb). He enjoys running, breaking into Strong Bad's house, and finding the perfect [[Decemberween]] present. Also, he, [[Coach Z]], and [[Bubs]] are the law enforcement in [[Free Country, USA]].

== Character Video Transcript ==
''{'''Page Title:''' Homerun Hitter!}''
''{'''Place:''' [[The Field]]}''

'''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.

''{The next line is chosen at random between the three.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' Don't forget "doofus".

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' Don't forget "moron".

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' Don't forget um... "[[Wikipedia:Lionel Richie|Lionel Richie]]".

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, that too. That's another good one. In closing, I look good in red. Check it out. ''{turns around, sings while shaking his rear}'' Buttdance, buttda-a-ance!

== Homestar's eyes ==
[[Image:TMBG_Homestar_closeup_20040925.jpg|thumb|right|Puppet Stuff straight-on]]
[[Image:Straighton.png|thumb|left|Cartoon straight-on]]
*Homestar's eyes are quite strange. There are many theories about how they work:
**Sometimes they seem to move around his head. Most of the time they're like a flounder's eyes, but they switch sides of 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. Also, in [[Theme Song Video]], the currently absent toon [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]], the old version of [[In Search Of The Yello Dello DVD|In Search of the Yello Dello]] and the [[Homestar Runner and Strong Bad Screensaver|Homestar Screensaver]], you can see his face from the front, which further lends credence to this theory.

*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.
**[[The Brothers Chaps]] actually made the eyes out of felt, so that they can be switched if necessary.

== Homestar's Shirt ==

His shirt seems to most resemble a red skirt with a white star on it. The star can be removed, but Homestar wears it as a mark of pride. Other than his propeller cap, it appears to be his only piece of clothing, as his questionable [[Homestar's Pants|pants]] are a mystery. He also wore a gray version of the shirt (still with a star) in [[impression]] while doing a bad imitation of [[Strong Sad]].

In the original script for [[flashback]], Strong Bad wore a similar shirt until Marzipan gave one to Homestar (to replace his Duckie Shirt). After this point, Strong Bad would have ripped off his shirt, explaining why he never wore one to this day.

A real-life version of the shirt is available for purchase in the [[Store]].

== [[Homestar and Marzipan's Relationship|Homestar & Marzipan]] ==
[[Image:marzipan.png|thumb|Homestar's favorite hippie.]]

Homestar's relationship with Marzipan seems tenuous at best and has deteriorated as the episodes progress. Though Homestar insults her, often without meaning it, and Marzipan breaks up with him frequently, they seem to patch things up in between. Homestar's idiocy seems to be charmed as well as charming, as evidenced by his lucky gift of wire cutters in [[Homestar Presents: Presents]]. It is unclear how their relationship started, but they do seem to care about each other, if only a little bit.

Homestar even appears to miss and need Marzipan's badgering every once in a while. When she was out of town in [[Happy Fireworks|July of 2005]], he carried around a [[Cardboard Marzipan|cardboard cutout]] version of her and provided a voice for it. The cardboard version still made similar comments about violence and Homestar's poor grammar that the actual Marzipan would have, providing Homestar the presumably cathartic opportunity to say "Shut up, Marzipan." Even Homestar's relationship with the "Cardboard Marzi" was tenuous, though, as he voiced her flirting with other gay men (and The Cheat coz he is very gay).
