"Hey, Coach! Check me out! I've got bad zits!"

The Homestar Runner (body of work) contains many references to acne, a skin disease common in adolescents.

Appearances

haircut — Strong Bad adds acne and a buttchin to the Big Ol' Eyebrows to make Strong Mad one hundred and ten percent lady-proof.
pom pom — After Strong Bad repeatedly pokes him in the face with a pin, Homestar imitates a teenager to Coach Z "Hey, Coach! Check me out! I've got bad zits!"
theme song — When Shaheen writes in to say it bugs him that the email show doesn't have a theme song, Strong Bad tells him "It bugs me how your face doesn't have a not tons of acne. If it did have a not tons of acne, you would be a whole lot cooler."
imaginary — Strong Mad is depicted as a teenager: sporting acne, orange hair, a small moustache, glasses, and an orange "M".
licensed — Strong Bad receives an email from "Pilmple-Faced Bill from receiving" and asks him to tell "grody Blackhead-Flaced Janice" to update her records.

Homestar Ruiner Teen Girl Squad — When the mirror item is used, its recipient teen girl says "Gotta make sure my cover-up isn't flaking. Nope, horrible scarring acne is safely concealed."
Thy Dungeonman 3 — If Thy Dungeonman attempts to communicate with the Annoying Whiner Bird, he finds that "his morbling is rusty and he hasn't ganched since he was but a pimple-faced dungeon teen"
Peasant's Quest — If Rather Dashing tries to scare Poor Gary, he may do so by telling him the story "about the kid who pops this big zit he has and all these baby spiders come out."
Blue Laserdisc Challenge — The Announcer proclaims that the game will "take quick wits, lightning reflexes, and more quarters than you or your zit-faced friends could possibly have... in your zit-faced pockets."
