Bad Sportsmanship

From Homestar Runner Wiki

Revision as of 07:29, 9 December 2018

"I hear our friend The Robot is about to do a set of his acoustic numbers."

A few times here and again, some of the characters in the Homestar Runner universe show poor sportsmanship. Such can include yelling at other characters, cheating, or other. The Cheat has shown this by, of course, cheating, mostly for Strong Bad. Although this has occurred often, it's mainly from Strong Bad and The Cheat.

Appearances

• Strongest Man in the World:
  • It is implied that Pom Pom swears due to Homestar's and Strong Bad's reactions.
  • Homestar Runner gets angry at The Cheat for helping Strong Bad lift his grapes, saying "At first it was cute, but this is just borderline unsportsmanlike!". He later gets angry with Pom Pom for not giving him the trophy, saying that he "sportsmanliked" everyone.

He also places a performance enhancing drug in Pom Pom's locker to get him disqualified.
• Baddest of the Bands — Strong Bad sabotages all the other bands within the "Baddest of the Bands" contest so he could win.
• Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective — After Dangeresque agrees to play Perducci in a card game to win his evil plans, both Perducci and Dangeresque cheat several times - Perducci by repeatedly rigging the deck so that he gets the best card or pulling things out that are better than that, and Dangeresque by trying to get his hands on these items to try and win. Eventually, Perducci refuses to let Dangeresque play any further games with him.
• Kick-A-Ball — Strong Bad accuses Homestar Runner of cheating. When Homestar Runner's team says, "Good game", Strong Bad's team says in reply, "Yeah right."
