Running Gag

I have begun an article on Homestar's pants or the perceived lack thereof. (It is currently a stub; feel free to expand it.) I believe it is a running gag in the H*R universe and as such deserves a page. Does anyone agree or disagree? — It's dot com 14:52, 12 Aug 2005 (UTC)

• I agree. This is definitely a running gag, one which could eventually reach the level of Strong Bad's typing with boxing gloves on (especially if we wrote in to ask if Homestar actually does wear pants). #Point7Q 15:06, 12 Aug 2005 (UTC)
• I like this page a lot. I say keep. Homestar Coder 15:18, 12 Aug 2005 (UTC)
• I agree. When first saw long pants, my first thought was what homestar said in Not the 100th Email!!!. There was never a doubt in my mind that this was a running gag. invisible robot fish
• Totally a running gag. Like, for real. ...I really can't think of anything else to say aside from that. --DorianGray
• If this gag was any more running, it'd be...er...um...
  ...pretend I said something witty. -GG Crono

I've added a link to this page from every cartoon listed in the article (not including lady...ing, which is still STUFFed) — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 11:26, 13 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Update: the STUFF passed by more than 3 to 1, so the running gag has also been added to lady...ing. — It's dot com 01:28, 16 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Third option

In addition to the possibility of white tight pants, or painted-on feet, shouldn't we mention the possibility (see his "long-pants" rant) that he's wearing perfectly normal long pants, but they're as invisible as his arms? --Forgot my username on this site.

General Pants?

I'm wondering if this article should be renamed "Pants" and include other references to pants (mostly Coach Z's). If you take a look at Coach Z's page, there is a fairly long list of places where he's made a comment about pants, and I think that list should be moved to a separate page on that subject. What do you all think? —  KieferSkunk (talk) — 17:14, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

The combined page seems, I dunno, watered down somehow. References to Homestar's pants are quite different from references to pants in general. I think we should consider splitting this page into two pages, like how the related concepts Crap and Crapfully Yours each have a page. — It's dot com 03:55, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

I think we should create an alternate reality in which this page is called Watered Down. Seriously though, I think Dot com's right here. The references to Homestar and the unresolved questions concerning his pants, or his lack thereof (Daisy Dukes aside) are really a different gag than Coach Z's rather disturbing references to his own pants. Coach Z's pants could probably fit with the other references, though. Heimstern Läufer 03:59, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

I agree too. Homestar's pants are a real and true running gag and some fun speculation and debatable mystery. Coach Z's references are just because "pants" is a funny word and makes for amusing, somewhat random quotes. --DorianGray
