Mr. Bland
From Homestar Runner Wiki
Mr. Bland is a character from the original book, which started the Homestar Runner body of work. In the book, he entered the Strongest Man in the World contest. He has a white, rounded head similar in shape to Strong Sad's, white arms ending in four-fingered hands, and white legs ending in shoe-shaped feet similar to Homestar Runner's. He is always seen in black shorts and a brown short-sleeved shirt and always seems to be holding his arms outward. According to Strong Bad, Mr. Bland was one of the most popular characters until he was crushed by a falling Bubs' Concession Stand along with Señor (seen in origins).
In Strongest Man in the World, a Flash remake of the original book, he was given a voice for the first time. For over a year, the Wiki incorrectly reported that Mr. Bland's voice in Strongest Man in the World was provided by Mike Chapman. This was corrected after Matt Chapman revealed that this was a mistake during the hidden creators' commentary of Strongest Man in the World on the DVD Everything Else, Volume 3.
