On more than one occasion The Brothers Chaps have made reference to plenty of television game shows on the Homestar Runner website. Homestar's own show, The Show, spoofs many of these shows, especially those made in the 1970s. However, this article also explains other references to game shows beyond just The Show.

Family Feud
- Email invisibility — While invisible, Strong Bad is watching TV, which is apparently showing a game show, and he says, "Survey says... you're an idiot!"
- Homestar Ruiner — When Strong Bad is about to delete an email message, he says, "Survey says... deleted!"
- He also references this show in the same way on later SBCG4AP games, including Baddest of the Bands and 8-Bit Is Enough.
Hollywood Squares
- Email the show — Homestar says, "Pom Pom, for the block..." The term "block" refers to preventing one from getting three X's or O's in a row.
- Email geddup noise — Homestar refers to the center square. On this show, this is where famous comics would often sit for long periods at a time.
Jeopardy!
- Email 12:00 — Strong Bad's email intro goes thus: "I'll take Strong Bad Email for a thousand, please."
Match Game
- Email the show — The commercial bumper music is partly lifted from this show's theme music.
Press Your Luck
- Email redesign — When Strong Bad is cycling through different color schemes for his redesigned No Loafing Sign, he says, "No Whammies, no Whammies!"
- Homestar Ruiner — When Homestar is in the shower at the locker room, he occasionally says, "No Whammies, no Whammies, no Whammies..."
The Price Is Right
- Email the show — Homestar's mic resembles the mic used by Bob Barker on this show.
- Strong Badia the Free — When Coach Z is chosen for the draft, he remarks, "I think they've all overbid! One dollar! One dollar!"
