[edit] Transcript
{Open to a nighttime scene featuring a silhouette of a small hill with a crescent moon above. Music from the older intro is playing. A silhouette of Homestar runs in from the right and starts running up the hill. The words "EVERYONE LOVES HOMESTAR RUNNER" drop in at the top of the screen. Homestar reaches the top of the hill and stops running. The words "HE IS A TERRIFIC ATHLETE" slide in from the left at the bottom of the screen. The words move offscreen as the camera zooms in on Homestar and spins around him, with the scene brightening as the moon moves offscreen and the sun passes by, and ending with a closeup of his head inside a circle. The Homestar Runner logo appears below the circle. The music stops.}

[edit] Fun Facts
[edit] Remarks
- Clicking the close button after the toon leads to a blank light blue page. Right-clicking at this page will give the message "movie not loaded...". This is because it is trying to redirect to the Old Flash Stuff menu, where all content is embedded.
- The brim of Homestar's hat is blue when he turns around, but the rest of him remains the same.
[edit] Inside References
- "Everyone loves Homestar Runner. He is a terrific athlete" adapts the opening lines of the Original Book.
- Notably, the character is no longer referred to as "The Homestar Runner".
[edit] Fast Forward
- There have been several references to a silhouetted Homestar Runner running over hills:
- In Pumpkin Carve-nival, Strong Bad (dressed as Homestar) walks over the hills at the beginning.
- In Ballad of the Sneak, a shadowed The Sneak runs over hills at the end of the instrumental.
- In an Easter egg in the email mile, a silhouetted Powered by The Cheat-style Strong Bad cartwheels over hills.
- In the Homestar running scene in Bug in Mouth Disease, for a moment he is shadowed.
- In Most in the Graveyard, The King of Town runs away from Strong Bad over hills.
