Transcript
KIDS: {background music, continues throughout intro} Everybody! Everybody! Everybody! Everybody!
{A lit version of Homestar Runner, similar to graphics seen on sports scoreboards, runs in place. A smaller version of Homestar runs across the top of the screen, leaving the letters "H O M E S T A R" from left to right, then runs offscreen. He re-enters at the bottom right leaving the letters "R U N N E R" from right to left, then runs off the left side of the screen. Appearing slightly larger from the left, he runs across the middle of the screen, causing the words "HOMESTAR" and "RUNNER" to scatter. He leaves his logo behind as he runs. The star from the logo elongates itself into a star-shaped tunnel, alternating in red, white and blue. Homestar then is zoomed upon and stands in front of a blue background with light blue stripes emanating from the center.}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: {out of sync with the background music} Everybody! Lah-dee-dah-dee-dah! {background music fades out} Everybody! Lah-dee-dah-dee-dah!

Trivia

- The lightbulbs that make up the outline of Homestar's picture are miraculously capable of having only a fraction of them glow.
- The intro will only take you to Main Pages 1 through 14.
