Easter Eggs

Homestar likes Marshmallows... in Abe Lincoln's Head
  • If you press L the screen becomes Abraham Lincoln's profile silhouette.
    • This will only work for a lowercase "l". Having Caps Lock on, or holding down Shift, Ctrl or Alt will cancel the effect.

Fun Facts

Trivia

  • This is the first short featuring the early current version of Homestar.
  • Cherry Greg was voiced by co-creator Craig Zobel in this toon. In First Time Here?, he was voiced by Dan Kubis, a friend of the Brothers Chaps.
  • Missy Palmer apparently sang in the ending jingle, as it is possible to make out Marzipan's voice.

Remarks

  • The Marshie shown on the bag of marshmallows in the preview on the TV Time Toons Menu is different from the Marshie shown in the actual toon. The toon version features a normal Marshie, yet the preview shows a completely different Marshie, winking.
  • In some scenes, Homestar doesn't blink at all.
  • This toon has a 2 in the URL. Attempting to load the equivalent without a 2 results in a 404.
  • At the end of the toon in the flash file, there's a clickable space outside the screen at left. Clicking it does nothing.

Glitches

  • Whenever Homestar talks, his hat moves a little at the edge.

Inside References

Fast Forward

  • Homestar similarly flubs his lines in First Time Here?, which is also directed by Cherry Greg and bears many other similarities to this cartoon.

DVD Version

First Commentary Transcript

(Commentary by: Matt Chapman, Mike Chapman)

MATT: Oh, Cherry Greg. Your finest hour.

MIKE: Look at the light grey outline on Homestar's head.

MATT: Yeah, it's a little distracting.

MIKE: And his magenta body.

MATT: Yeah. There's a lot of discussion about his magenta body on these commentaries, I feel like.

MIKE: The light grey outline— I think this might be the only cartoon that has the outline that is quite that light.

MATT: Well, this was the debut of this version of Homestar, right?

MIKE: Yeah, I think from fat— from fat-body Homestar.

MATT: Uh... So our friend, uh... friend and co— co-restore I believe it's—

MIKE: Millionaire gaddabout—

MATT: —Craig Zobel—

MIKE: —our Craig Zobel—

MATT: —is the voice here...

MIKE: He's also the voice of Kevin.

MATT: That's right.

MIKE: On the, umm, answering machine. We used to get emails from teenage girls saying how hot Kevin sounded.

MATT: Yeah.

MIKE: Like, "Who is Kevin? He sounds hot!" We'd always forward those to Craig.

MATT: Yeah, so both Craig and, uh, our friend Dan play, uh, Cherry Greg, different parts.

MIKE: Yeah, 'cause he plays him on the First Time Here—

MATT: Yeah.

MIKE: — is that right?

MATT: Dan, who also is the voice of Łukasz!

MIKE: {laughing} Yeah!

MATT: Eh Łukasz! Cześć, Marzipan! {brief pause} Umm, look s— Homestar's eyes, when he closes his eyes, are just squished versions of his eye symbol.

MIKE: Really?

MATT: We didn't make the, like, closed eye symbol yet.

{pause}

MIKE: Those hills in the background look different from the usual hills, too.

MATT: They're larger.

MIKE: Yeah, I don't know what, uh—

MATT: Or they're bushes. We still haven't decided, yet.

MIKE: They're hills.

MATT: Hill-bushes.

MIKE: Hill-bushes.

MATT: Hill-shes. Shubs. {chuckles}

MIKE: Ah, bird crap.

MATT: It's always funny when there's bird crap. You can hear—

MIKE: You can hear, just noise in the background!

MATT: Yeah! Mike dropped a pencil or something.

MIKE: But this was d— wasn't this done when you were in, uh, Brooklyn?

MATT: I came home one time.

MIKE: Oh, you came home to record it?

MATT: Yeah, and recorded it all. Ooh, they got him. That's a small boom mike.

MIKE: Homestar's very large.

MATT: {laughs} Umm... Oh, Craig and Homestar have had it.

MIKE: Yeah.

MATT: I always feel like he sounds like— right here, when he says "Fluffy-Puffies", he sounds kinda like Janine from Ghostbusters. {in assumed voice} "Ghostbusters, what do you want?" Umm, when she's, like, reciting over the phone the things that she... "Do you believe in the occult, the blahbitta blah," talking to Winston Zeddemore?

MIKE: Yeah. You lost me. And everyone else, I'm sure.

Second Commentary Transcript

(Commentary by: Homestar Runner, Mike Chapman)

HOMESTAR RUNNER: {sings} Oh no, oh no, oh no!

MIKE: Hey, Homestar!

HOMESTAR RUNNER: It's Matt!

MIKE: Uh, yeah. I'm Mike.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Oh, sorry.

MIKE: So, tell me about your light grey outlines here.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Oh Mike, they did a—

MIKE: What's wrong?

HOMESTAR RUNNER: {simultaneously} —terrible job in makeup and wardrobe {accent on second syllable}.

MIKE: Too much pancake?

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Too much pancake, and a little too much pantoine.

MIKE: Pantone.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Pantoine colors. Umm—

MIKE: So how is it, working with Cherry Greg?

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Oh Mike, he's the consommé professional. Cherry Greg is like...

MIKE: Beef consommé?

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Yes. He's like a fine beef consommé... after it's been agèd.

MIKE: Uh, tell me about the hills in the background, Homestar.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: They're... larger, and—

MIKE: Was this a different location than you guys usually shoot at?

HOMESTAR RUNNER: This was to the left of the usual field.

MIKE: Oh, OK.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Yes. Umm, I don't — I don't ever talk about melonade anymore!

MIKE: You—

HOMESTAR RUNNER: I'm off.

MIKE: {simultaneously} I'm— I'm gonna give you a forum right now. Talk about melonade!

HOMESTAR RUNNER: I'm off Melonade, guys.

MIKE: Talk about some marshmallows and melonade for me.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Uh... {in assumed voice} A-marshymellow! A-melonade! Is that what you want to hear? It's what everybody always wants out of me.

MIKE: That's—

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Just the same marshmallow!

MIKE: I don't think it was supposed to be that— {a telephone rings} Oh!

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Oh, who do you think that is? Let's see! I want to answer it, maybe!

MIKE: Go! It's— I hit it!

HOMESTAR RUNNER: {simultaneously} Hello? Hel— Oh! Hello? Hello, who's this? Hello? Hang on, we're recording commentary on the DVD, so hang on. {pause} No, you— but you can talk to me! {pause} Hello? I'm talking to the phone! Who's on the phone? Mike, this— they're not talking. Is this Willy? {pause} It's Willy, Mike!

MIKE: Oh, good old Willy!

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Good old Willy!

MIKE: He's gonna—

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Willy, you're gonna be on the commentary of this DVD! He thought this— I was an answering machine, this whole times!

MIKE: {laughs}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: That's great!

MIKE: {simultaneously} Willy's a really dumb friend.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: No! We gotta take that out!
