Easter Eggs
- 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.
- Missy apparently sang in the ending jingle, because you can clearly make out Marzipan's voice.
Remarks
- The Marshie shown on the bag of marshmallows in the preview on the 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.
- In "Jumping Jack Contest", the Cheat asks Homestar if he wants 147 glasses of Melonade.
Glitches
- Whenever Homestar talks, his hat moves a little at the edge.
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.
- The Abe Lincoln silhouette would later be seen in Everybody to the Limit and in An Open Forum.
DVD Version
- The DVD version features two hidden creators' commentaries. To access them, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.
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.
