Fun Facts

Trivia

• The toons menu layout changed on June 22, 2004, and divided all the toons into eight categories. (The old version can be seen here.) It displayed Strong Bad Email, Marzipan's Answering Machine, and Teen Girl Squad in a section called Features. Powered by The Cheat and Puppet Stuff were listed under Shorts.
• The Back button will always go to Main Page 4.
• Homestar Runner's TV is called TeeBee.
• During the sample of The Reddest Radish on the TV, Strong Bad jumps and spins. He does not do this in the actual toon.
• Likewise, during the sample of Kick the Can, The Homestar Runner's body sinks into his legs and his head sinks into his body. Then his head and legs sprout out of the can. This also does not happen in the toon.
• The Strong Bad Email Easter egg comes from an abandoned project called Wireless Bizness.

Goofs

• During the following toon previews, some white noise can be seen on the tv screen:
  • Cool Things

• • Summer Short Shorts
  • 500 The Cheats
  • TrogdorCon '97
  • The Li'l Brudder Show
  • Happy Trogday
  • Snowglobe
  • Homestar vs. Other Little Girl
  • Biz Cas Fri 1, 2 and 3
  • All the Puppet Jams
  • New Boots

Glitches

• Sometimes, on older computers, clicking Toons, Shorts, or Holiday does not open the closed TV Time booklet, so the cover must be click on to open it. All it shows is a blank page with the title "Dennis" on it.
