{Pom Pom is talking on his phone.}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Here go Pom Pom. {to Pom Pom} What's up, Pom Pom? {Pom Pom gestures to his phone} Oh, sorry. {to camera} Pom Pom is definitely the mack around here. And he's my best friend. He's gotten me out of some pretty tight jams. And some pretty tight pants! But that only happened once. {to Pom Pom} Hey Pom Pom—{Pom Pom looks at him angrily and points to his phone} Oh, right. I forgot already. He's probably talking to some fine honey on his celly. {Pom Pom gets out his wallet and shows the camera some pictures of his girlfriends, then tries to put it back in later but a part of it is sticking out, which he shoves it in with more force.} About to get her phone number. Or maybe he already has it. He gets digits like every single day. {to Pom Pom} Isn't that right, Pom Pom? {irritated, Pom Pom snaps his phone shut and bubbles angrily at Homestar} Oh, sorry again man. My bad. I wasn't trying to step to you or anything. We're still cool. {Pom Pom sighs, puts his phone away, shakes his head and bounces away} Pom Pom and I are still cool.

Phone Numbers
Home: (123) 456-7890
Cell: (123) 555-8307
Pager: (718) 555-1059
- Based on the area code for his pager number, Pom Pom has either lived or does business in the outer boroughs of New York City. 123 is not a real area code, as none (in the North American Numbering Plan, at least) begin with the numeral 1.
- Pom Pom's "voice" is the same re-used sound sample of Mike Chapman blowing bubbles into a glass of milk. His is the only voice that is never recorded fresh for every toon (and never has since his first appearance).
- "The Most Mackinest" is a phrase taken from the Beastie Boys' song "Shake Your Rump."
- Pom Pom is the only main character whose parents have been seen on the site, in a picture in Isle of Pom. They are differently-colored Poms there, but Strong Bad hypothetically envisions them as a File Cabinet in Family Resemblence.
- Pom Pom's ringtone is a clip of DJ Teh Cheat's remix of The Geddup Noise, as heard in technology.
