Homestar Runner and Bubs's relationship is often a good and steady friendship. Homestar usually talks to Bubs nicely while buying from or just hanging out at his concession stand. Rarely have these two gotten into arguments, unless it was personal.

Bubs later exchanges the cool shades for "something of lesser or much lesser value", which was a bag of four grapes.

• 3 Times Halloween Funjob — Homestar brags that he could get a million pounds of candy while trick-or-treating, but Bubs is unimpressed by it. At Marzipan's House, Bubs laughs at Homestar for getting "bum candy" from The Poopsmith.
