The programming of the long-running children's channel, Nickelodeon, has inspired some short gags in Homestar Runner. Matt Chapman once worked for the channel as a director of the Nick Jr. show Yo Gabba Gabba!; he and Mike had previously animated a cartoon for that show.

- Puppet Time — Homestar Runner drops off a video of Mr. Wizard.
