Rejected Characters
From Homestar Runner Wiki
Contents |
Unnamed Girl
An Unnamed Girl appears in the background of the Dancin' Bubs Game. Who this character was intended to be remains a mystery.
Homeschool Winner
The mysterious character of Homeschool Winner came about when a friend of The Brothers Chaps was unable to recall Homestar Runner's name. In the Club Aquatica Interview, Matt recalls that his friend said: "What's your website, HomeschoolWinner.com?" Homeschool is described as "a big nerd, with maybe a creepy edge to him." It has been speculated that he may be Homestar Runner's long lost brother.
The character seems to have been aborted, with few appearances to date. Humorously mentioned in the Sample of Style video on the DVD, Mike breaks the tube Matt uses to make Bubs' voice, and Matt says: "Great. Now we have to kill off Bubs. Just like Homeschool Winner." This seems to be the rejected character with the most fanbase.

The Unguraits
The Unguraits are Nintendo style bandits that are seen in a set of cards (that are no longer found on HomestarRunner.com) along with Homeschool Winner. TBC has apparently considered using them for the forces of Blue Laser in Cheat Commandos toons, but they have not yet appeared in this capacity.
Dijjery-Doo
Dijjery-Doo is a The Cheat-like character that was abandoned in the design phase because it was obviously too similar to The Cheat. For the longest time only seen in the Museum Sketchbook, but a possible rendering was used in the Strong Bad Email for kids.
Fun Fact
A didgeridoo is a traditional Australian Aboriginal instrument.

Trivia Time
Trivia Time is Pom Pom's dog. Although there are some concept sketches in the Museum, he's never appeared directly in a Homestar cartoon. A cookie jar with his likeness is in a few toons, and in the Homestarloween Party, one of the girls' dog "Chris" looks a lot like Trivia Time.
