'''[[Marzipan]]'s Answering Machine''' is probably one of the most overlooked sections on the [[Homestar Runner (Flash cartoon)|Homestar Runner website]], likely because it has little or no animation. The messages often dive deeper into interpersonal relationships between the [[Characters|characters]], with each short message packed with insight. Some mainstays of the section are [[Strong Bad]]'s unrelenting prank calls, [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]]'s constant misunderstandings, and [[Coach Z]]'s and [[Strong Sad]]'s depressing ramblings. It also features various other surprise messages and cameos from major and minor characters.

'''[[Marzipan]]'s {{w|Answering Machine}}''' is a collection of audio messages left for Marzipan on her [[Marzipan's House|home]] phone. A stylistic departure from the usual toon format on [[homestarrunner.com]], animation is very limited and the series is primarily audio-based. The messages often dive deeper into interpersonal [[Character Relationships|relationships]] between the [[characters]], with each short message packed with insight. Some mainstays of the section are [[Strong Bad]]'s unrelenting [[Aliases Used in Prank Calls|prank calls]], [[Homestar Runner]]'s constant misunderstandings, [[Coach Z]]'s odd habits and tendencies (especially towards Marzipan herself), [[Strong Sad]]'s depressing ramblings, and surprisingly frequent calls from [[The King of Town]]. It also features various other surprise messages and cameos from major and minor characters.

The PhoneTime XL800

Marzipan's Answering Machine is a collection of audio messages left for Marzipan on her home phone. A stylistic departure from the usual toon format on homestarrunner.com, animation is very limited and the series is primarily audio-based. The messages often dive deeper into interpersonal relationships between the characters, with each short message packed with insight. Some mainstays of the section are Strong Bad's unrelenting prank calls, Homestar Runner's constant misunderstandings, Coach Z's odd habits and tendencies (especially towards Marzipan herself), Strong Sad's depressing ramblings, and surprisingly frequent calls from The King of Town. It also features various other surprise messages and cameos from major and minor characters.
