The puppet was created in September 2003. His eyes are made of felt, so they can be moved around if necessary. They are only seen on one side of his head at a time, similar to his [[Flash]] counterpart. His propeller can be spun, and he frequently asks others to "[[Spin My Buzzer|spin his buzzer]]", although it has a tendency to [[Some Puppet Stuff|fall off]]. Being a puppet, his legs are never shown on screen. According to himself in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 17.2]], he has "eight percent more sass than the regular Homestar". He refers to the bottom of his mouth as a "mouth-shelf", which is handy for catching snowflakes.

The first puppet was originally the only Strong Bad puppet before the second was revealed through [[@StrongBadActual]].

The first puppet was created in January 2005. He had a red piece above his mouth that slid up and down as he talked, giving the illusion of his mouth moving, as it does in the toons. His head could rotate, and his arms were usually controlled from below using wires. Unlike most puppets, his legs are visible at times, dangling below his body.

A new Strong Bad puppet debuted in 2016, first seen [[@StrongBadActual Tweets 2016#755523119264116740|from behind in a tweet]]. This puppet is smaller and has a fully opening underbite mouth. It was created by the people at the {{w|Center for Puppetry Arts|Georgia Puppetry Museum}}, as revealed to [[User:Jeffjman|a fan]] when they talked in 2019.

Puppet versions of the two-dimensional characters.

Puppets

Image Description Appearances
"Everybody knows it!"
Puppet Homestar Runner

The puppet was created in September 2003. His eyes are made of felt, so they can be moved around if necessary. They are only seen on one side of his head at a time, similar to his Flash counterpart. His propeller can be spun, and he frequently asks others to "spin his buzzer", although it has a tendency to fall off. Being a puppet, his legs are never shown on screen. According to himself in Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 17.2, he has "eight percent more sass than the regular Homestar". He refers to the bottom of his mouth as a "mouth-shelf", which is handy for catching snowflakes.

"Going on my 7th coffee run!"

"RIP fleshtangle mouth"
Puppet Strong Bad

The first puppet was created in January 2005. He had a red piece above his mouth that slid up and down as he talked, giving the illusion of his mouth moving, as it does in the toons. His head could rotate, and his arms were usually controlled from below using wires. Unlike most puppets, his legs are visible at times, dangling below his body.

A new Strong Bad puppet debuted in 2016, first seen from behind in a tweet. This puppet is smaller and has a fully opening underbite mouth. It was created by the people at the Georgia Puppetry Museum, as revealed to a fan when they talked in 2019.

"Meh."

Meh 2.0
Puppet The Cheat

While a Kick The Cheat doll was used as a puppet in Puppet Time and Some Puppet Stuff, The Cheat also had a similar but unique, handcrafted doll which debuted in Everybody Knows It. The new doll's defining features include more consistent dots on his back, a red-orange colored swirl on his chest, and pure black oval-shaped button eyes.
