Although he is often the target of pranks by Strong Bad, Homestar believes that he is friends with the "[[wrestleman]]" and tries to win his favor, often with bad results that Homestar completely misunderstands. Occasionally, he and Strong Bad will be on pleasant terms, usually participating together in a Strong Bad Email or watching TV at Homestar's house. As a whole, Homestar seems to be too dim to realize when people are being mean to him, or when he's being mean to other people. He often unintentionally insults his friends or steps on their feelings and is unable to understand their resulting feelings of anger. Another quirk of Homestar's is his ability to be easily outsmarted at his own game, but still be completely oblivious and even happy. As Strong Bad put it in [[secret recipes]], "It's like, even when we win, he wins." It should also be noted that Homestar's psychology may account for his sleepwalking behavior, as exhibited in the Strong Bad Email [[nightlife]]. | Although he is often the target of pranks by Strong Bad, Homestar believes that he is friends with the "[[wrestleman]]" and tries to win his favor, often with bad results that Homestar completely misunderstands.

He, Coach Z, Bubs, and Pom Pom, appear to be the current law enforcement in [[Free Country, USA]], as seen in [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]] and [[road trip]]. The King of Town calls upon his and Pom Pom's assistance in [[The King of Town DVD]], suggesting higher authority and/or credibility. However, he is also seen as a thief in [[candy product]], stealing a pair of half-eaten "choco-pants". In the October 2007 special [[Jibblies 2]], he saves his friends by agreeing to stay inside the [[Jibblies Painting]] for "eternity". | He, Coach Z, Bubs, and Pom Pom, appear to be the current law enforcement in [[Free Country, USA]], as seen in [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]] and [[road trip]].

- | + | Homestar's eyes are quite strange. | |
- | + | *Sometimes they seem to move around his head. Most of the time they're like a flounder's eyes, but they switch sides of his face whenever he turns. In the [[Old Intro 2]], Homestar's eyes seem to move as the camera circles around him. Also, in [[Theme Song Video]], the currently absent toon [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]], the old version of [[In Search Of The Yello Dello DVD|In Search of the Yello Dello]], the [[Homestar Runner and Strong Bad Screensaver|Homestar Screensaver]], [[action figure]], [[Eggs (toon)|Eggs toon]], [[Costume Commercial]], and [[Hremail 7]] he faces to the front, which further lends credence to this theory. | |
- | + | **It is possible that Homestar's eyes are in fact on the front of his head, but his generally accepted stature always has him facing slightly to the side. Because he is a cartoon character, the three-dimensional shape of his head and face are not shown, so the viewer is left to infer the eyes' correct positions based on which direction Homestar appears to be facing. | |

+ | **[[The Brothers Chaps]] actually made the eyes detachable, so that they can be switched if necessary. | ||
- | *Homestar | + | *Homestar's eyes almost always blink at regular intervals (once every approximately 3.9 seconds), even when the cartoon is paused or has stopped, and in some special cases such as where he appears on a magazine cover (as seen in the email [[modeling]]). This is explained by the fact that his eyes are animated as a Flash movie clip, which generally animates continuously. |

+ | Homestar Runner usually wears a [[Homestar Runner's Hat|blue and red propeller cap]], commonly called a beanie. He calls the propeller a "buzzer". In an interview with [[Wonkavision Magazine Interview|Wonkavision Magazine]], he claimed that he was born with his hat on. He is occasionally seen without it. He had lost his hat in [[Where My Hat is At?]] and apparently [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]] (according to the DVD commentary) as well. In the email [[super powers]], Strong Bad managed to make the hat pop off of Homestar's head. In the email [[car]], Homestar had his hat "tricked out" with features such as hydraulics and underglow neon. He also claimed that if Strong Bad [[Spin My Buzzer|spun his "buzzer"]], it would play the theme from ''[[Wikipedia:Night Court|Night Court]]'', but it was obvious Homestar hummed it himself. Homestar dressed as himself in [[Trogdor Con '97]], and wore two hats as a result. | ||
- | + | Homestar's shirt seems to most resemble a red skirt with a white star on it. [[Strong Bad]] stole the star in [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]] and used it to coax Homestar and [[Pom Pom]] into wrestling [[Strong Mad]] and himself. Despite the brothers' loss to Homestar and Pom Pom, Strong Bad tore up the star, and only by kicking Strong Bad and taking one of the stars floating around his head was Homestar able to return his shirt to its original glory. The only other times Homestar's star has been removed were in [[different town]], in which Strong Bad imagined Homestar angrily tearing the star off his shirt and stamping on it when he "called it quits", and [[hygiene]], when he takes it off and blows his nose in it as John. Clearly, the star is a mark of pride to Homestar Runner. In [[Hremail 62]], Homestar shows off some of his apparently older stars, which he calls "Homestars." A real-life version of the shirt is available for purchase in the [[Store]]. | |
- | + | In the original script for [[flashback]], Strong Bad wore a similar shirt until Marzipan gave one to Homestar (to replace his Duckie Shirt). After this point, Strong Bad would have ripped off his shirt, explaining why he never wore one to this day. [[The Homestar Runner Gets Something Stuck In His Craw]] offered the alternative explanation that the star shirt somehow became stuck in his craw while he somersaulted around the world fifty times. | |
- | + | Other than his propeller cap, Homestar's shirt appears to be his only piece of clothing, as his questionable [[Homestar Runner's Pants|pants]] are a mystery. However, a Homestar costume is available in [[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]] as separate shirt, white pants, and white shoes with blue soles. He wore a gray version of his shirt in [[impression]] while doing a bad imitation of [[Strong Sad]]. In [[Costume Commercial]], Homestar is seen wearing pants when trick-or-treating as Bubs at Strong Bad's house. | |

Several times, however, this has been disproven, as in [[New Boots]] [[The Cheat]] [[Powered by The Cheat|animated]] Homestar's shoes being unambiguous objects. This was confirmed in [[Hremail 2000]], where he was shown holding his shoe, though the same hremail shows a close up of his foot with warts and hair, and no clear distinction between shoe and foot. He also has two larger shoe sizes; sizes 18 and [[Strong Mad]]. |
- | + | Note that the shirt is also straight compared to the eyes on the unfinished toon, [[Tis True, Pom Pom, Tis True]]. | |

Homestar's relationship with Marzipan seems tenuous at best, and it has appeared to deteriorate over time. Although Homestar frequently (and usually inadvertently) insults Marzipan, and she claims to have broken up with him several times, the two still seem to stick together. It is unclear how their relationship started, but the fact that their relationship is never truly broken suggests that they really do love each other. | Homestar's relationship with Marzipan seems tenuous at best, and it has appeared to deteriorate over time.
