The '''Quote of the Week''' is a sound bite from the [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] body of work. Quotes may be a selection from a recently-released toon, an outtake not included in a toon's final release, or a QotW-exclusive phrase. These were once viewed by clicking on the {{u|qotw}} ''Q'' button at the top of the [[Main Pages]], and were generally updated on Thursdays from 2004 through late 2009.

This feature began on January 10, 2002, under the name "Quote of the day(or so)". From early 2004 to 2009, the Quote of the Week was updated with near-weekly regularity. For some time before then, the quote of the week was a "[[Main Page Messages|what's new?]]" oval button. The dates of some quotes are estimated on the basis of the file-modified date. The feature stopped updating on October 22, 2009; this [[hiatus]] was briefly broken in 2014, but no new quotes have been shared since October 30 of that year. Since the [[post-Flash site update]] on the last day of 2020, the button no longer works.

The '''Quote of the Week''' is a sound bite from the [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] body of work. These are found by clicking on the ''Q'' at the top of the [[Main Pages]], and were generally updated each week on Thursday when Homestar Runner was more active. Here is a list of all Quotes of the Week collected since this feature started on January 10, 2002, under the name "Quote of the day". From early 2004 to 2009, the Quote of the Week was updated with more regularity. For some time before then, the quote of the week was a "[[Main Page Messages|what's new?]]" oval button. The dates of some quotes are estimated on the basis of the file-modified date.

| Marzipan is quoting {{w|Anton Chigurh}}, the antagonist in the 2007 film ''{{w|No Country for Old Men (film)|No Country for Old Men}}''. The [[Halloween Safety]] teaser and the [[Sketchbook 2014#SK-2014-10-30|Sketchbook released the same day]] as the quote revealed that [[The Brothers Chaps]] had [[Rejected costumes|considered making Marzipan dress as Chigurh]] for [[I Killed Pom Pom]].<br/>The specific phrasing of "Call it, friendo" is from [http://youtu.be/A0oNrgumrlE?t=22 the film's trailer] {{--}} in the movie proper, "friendo" and "call it" are from two separate lines of dialogue.

| This is the [[YouTube:YOohAwZOSGo|trailer]] version of a line spoken by Anton Chigurh, the antagonist in the 2007 film ''{{w|No Country for Old Men (film)|No Country for Old Men}}'', who was portrayed by {{wp|Javier Bardem}}. The line is actually a combination of two lines from the same scene. As Chigurh visits a filling station, he says to the proprietor, "What business is it of yours where I'm from, friendo?" Later in the scene, he allows the proprietor to choose his fate by a coin toss but only tells him to call it and doesn't say "friendo" again. The [[Halloween Safety]] teaser and the [[Sketchbook 2014#SK-2014-10-30|Sketchbook released the same day]] as the quote revealed that [[The Brothers Chaps]] were considering making Marzipan dress as Chigurh for [[I Killed Pom Pom]].

| Coach Z mentions "Paughkeegan", which might be referring to {{w|Waukegan, Illinois|Waukegan}}, a suburb of Chicago. [[Coach Z's accent]] includes elements of the {{w|North-Central American English|Upper Midwestern dialect}}, which makes it quite plausible that he'd know a person from Waukegan (or "Paughkeegan").

| Although it isn't identical, this quote is very similar to Bubs's quote for [[#QW-2005-03-25|25 Mar 2005]] ("Everybody knows me. Mine name Cornbread."). Additionally, the start of this quote is similar to the start of Bubs's quote in the email [[myths and legends]], which was the newest toon at the time.
