Revision as of 22:49, 28 November 2009

This article may need to think of a better commando name. If you have a suggestion, or if you would like to comment on one that may have already been proposed, please see the talk page.

"As Seen on TV"

The names of many items within the Homestar Runner universe will be given unusually long names where a simpler title would be acceptable.

Appearances

• Fall Float Parade — Coach Z describes Bubs as "Good old [his] favorite type o' guy who [he is] just all the time hangin' around and doin' stuff with, Bubs".
  • Later, when Strong Sad thought that his and Strong Bad's float theme was going to be "Celebrating our nation's covered bridges", Strong Bad corrects him by saying that the theme is "Sticking-you-in-a-fake-snowman-and-beating-you-senseless-with-nunchucks... covered bridges."
