'''Frank Bennedetto''' is a [[popcorn]] machine who joined the [[Homestarmy]]. He suffered grave injuries during [[The Battle of Strong Badia]], and his image has been used to advance the cause of the Homestarmy.
+
-
As a [[pseudocharacter]], Bennedetto does not speak and rarely, if ever, moves of his own volition. Characters like [[Homestar Runner]] still treat him as a person, interpreting his popcorn-making as [[puke|upchuck]].
+
'''Frank Bennedetto''' was once [[Marzipan]]'s popcorn machine, who joined the [[Homestarmy]] before or during January 2004. Frank, unfortunately, was the lone [[Death|casualty]] of [[The Battle of Strong Badia]] depicted in the Strong Bad Email [[army]]. At that time, he was believed to have died and left behind a debt of five bucks, payable to [[Homestar Runner]]. Homestar attempted to collect the aforementioned bucks from Frank's mother, [[Mrs. Bennedetto]] (a.k.a. Marzipan's microwave).
-
Bennedetto appears to be a vintage model of a [https://www.gopresto.com/products/products.php?stock=04820 Presto 04820 PopLite] {{w|popcorn maker}}.
+
It has later been shown that Frank Bennedetto has not actually perished in combat. His status was upgraded to "POW" in the [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]], as he was seen behind a fence as part of a collection of stolen goods.

He now seems to have been freed, and is once again a proud member of the Homestarmy, where he holds the rank of Third-[[Style]] Private. Some time after receiving this title, he joined Colonel Homestar Runner in an effort to ensure that "nobody or their brother does any type of work at all" on Labor Day. He is also a posterboy for the Homestarmy as seen in [[HR:wallpapers/armywallpaper3.jpg|armywallpaper3.jpg]] where he is featured in a poster to the right of Homestar's.

Bennedetto was seen among the ranks of the Homestarmy in 2004, although he had not paid the customary five-bucks enlistment fee. Frank, unfortunately, was the lone [[Death|casualty]] of [[The Battle of Strong Badia]] in the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[army]] {{--}} kicked by [[Strong Bad]], a crashing sound was heard when he landed (albeit without any visible damage).

-
Although Homestar believed Bennedetto to have died, later toons have been ambiguous as to his status:
+
However, Bennedetto was later seen at the Homestarmy's booth at the Vaguely Military Career Fair in [[more armies]], where a sign described him as a "memorial statue". This may mean that his death at the Battle of Strong Badia was real, although it could also just be a commemoration of his service in the Homestarmy.

*In [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]], he is seen behind a fence as part of a collection of stolen goods.

-
*The [[2011 Calendar#January|January page of the 2011 calendar]] features a parody of the {{w|National League of Families POW/MIA flag|Prisoners of War/Missing In Action flag}}, depicting Bennedetto silhouetted in black in front of Strong Badia, surrounded by the words "BENNEDETTO: Neva Forgive Action".
+
-
*A "memorial statue" of Bennedetto was at the Homestarmy's booth at the Vaguely Military Career Fair in [[more armies]]; this 'statue' is indistinguishable from Bennedetto himself.
+
-
*In [[Strong Badia the Free]], Homestar states that he does not want to see one of the Bennedetto siblings [[Strong Badia the Free Responses (Marzistar)#Draft Wheel → Little Johnny Benedetto|die like his brother Frank]].
+
-
*On {{Decemberweenvent Calendar|day|24}}, Bennedetto appears as an angel in Homestar's update to the [[Labor Dabor]] song.
+
In all likelihood, Bennedetto is a [http://www.epinions.com/hmgd-review-E38-1DE3023B-3A4906CE-prod4 Presto 04820 PopLite Popcorn Maker].

Bennedetto has additionally been featured in propaganda posters for the Homestarmy. A [[wallpaper]] featuring several Homestarmy posters includes one with several shadowy figures standing above his corpse, with the words "DON'T LET THEM!" written above.

-
The [[Puppet Character Variations|puppet version]] of Bennedetto is a Presto PopLite of the same variety the toon version is modeled after. Holding the rank of Third-[[Style]] Private, he joined Colonel Homestar Runner in an effort to ensure that "nobody or their brother does any type of work at all" on [[Holidays#Labor Day (first Monday of September)|Labor Day]].

The popcorn popper was presumably taken from [[Marzipan]], as Homestar returns to her kitchen to deliver the news of Frank's injuries to his mother, [[Mrs. Bennedetto]] (Marzipan's microwave).
+

+
-
Several more members of the Bennedetto family are seen on the draft board in [[Strong Badia the Free]]. Little Johnny (a toaster) and Ramon (a waffle maker) are said by Homestar to be brothers of Frank. Tom (a blender), Marty (a 4h pencil) and Hank "the Tank" (a refrigerator) are also present, relation unknown.
