Though The Homestar Runner Enters the Strongest Man in the World Contest was created in 1996, it was scanned and digitally colored in 1997. This is why the first stage in the "Evolution of Homestar" wallpaper is dated to '97 instead of his origin in 1996.

In the "Everybody, Everybody" wallpaper, The Poopsmith's lower arms are orange, while his upper arms are stained.
Viewing the Flash file of the wallpaper pop-up (http://www.homestarrunner.com/hsicons/wallpaper.swf) instead of going through the Downloads page causes the links to not work. They come up as http://www.homestarrunner.com/hsicons/wallpapers/armywallpaper2.jpg instead of http://www.homestarrunner.com/wallpapers/armywallpaper2.jpg (for example).

The Homestarmy poster initially lacked the letter "m", reading "Homestary." A few hours after being up, the design was fixed.

Strong Bad's message "Every time that I look at myself, I can't believe how awesome I am!!!" is a quote from Strong Bad Sings.

The Homestarmy poster is an obvious play on the iconic Uncle Sam recruitment poster reading "I want you for U.S. Army".
- The Homestarmy poster and those flanking it are all based on war propaganda posters disseminated by the U.S. government during World War II.
The Municipality "We're Onto You" design is evocative of "Big Brother is watching you" from Nineteen Eighty-Four.
