Fun Facts
- The Spanish dialog that Homestar Runner says translates to "Welcome to Homestarrunner dot com. Do you know Michael? Yes! We are good friends!" It is the kind of phrase one would see in an introductory Spanish text book.
- Homestar Runner wears a different costume in Take 25 each time you watch, including:
- Nothing (Naked!)
- Witch
- Sailor
- Clown
- By the time they get to take 126, the clapslate states that they are on roll 11. Assuming that they are filming with standard 400-ft, 35mm rolls, which average about ten minutes of footage per roll, by this point they would have been trying to film scene one for nearly two hours. This makes sense because it is take 126, and each take would probably be a minute or less.
- Some Homestar Runner fans actually started a website with the domain name, but this has since reverted back to the domain sponsor.
- The site "something.com" does exist, but the only content as of July 28th, 1995 [1] is the word Something.
- "homestarrunner.net", "usshomestarrunner.com" and "imabigmoronwhocantrememberhislines.com" have all been real fansites. However, at this time the only active at this time is "usshomestarrunner.com".
- Strong Bad's line, "You don't know it yet, but I'm the reason you're here," is a reference to the fact that the character of Strong Bad has long been more popular than Homestar Runner himself.
- The line "Its dot com" has a typo in it. "It's" has an apostrophe in it, for it is a contraction of "It is".
