(I'm willing to concede Mark Lemke as an inside joke, but despite his frequent appearances, I don't think John McEnroe counts.) |

A commonly referenced figure in the Homestar Runner universe, John McEnroe is a former professional tennis player from the United States. During his career, he held the world No. 1 ranking in both singles and doubles simultaneously; McEnroe's records are still among the winningest in the sport of tennis.
In addition to his tennis skills, McEnroe gained pop-culture prominence for his temper — most famously his argumentative shout of "You cannot be serious!" — and long, curly hair held in place with a headband. Both of these characteristics have been parodied in Homestar Runner.
