Several of the made-up words in the Homestar Runner universe feature multiple consecutive consonant clusters. Most of them are formed in Strong Bad Emails and have more consonants than any other real word in the English language. Most of the consonants are also part of consonant blends. The words strengths and lengths have five consonants in a row, more than any other in the English language.

Examples

  • Email i love you — The mailer's name is "fhqwhgadshgnsdhjsdbkhsdabkfabkveybvf", which has groups of six, sixteen, three, three and four consonants, in that order. Strong bad manages to read the whole word once, but then decide to shorten it to just Fhqwhgads, which still has six consonants in a row.
  • Email candy product — The name of Strong Bad's candy bar is "SBLOUNSKCHED", which has five consonants in a row.
  • Email fan club — Strong Bad's made-up word, "engsmsplode", has seven consonants in a row.
  • Sbemail 169 Deleted Scene — When asked to spell any word, Coach Z makes Strong Bad type "pfargtl", which has four consonants in a row. It is supposedly an animal.
