[[Image:Bloostar.PNG.PNG|thumb|100px|This speaks for itself]]

===''Codename: Kids Next Door''===

===''NFL Films: Game of the Week ('05 NFC Divisional Championship St Louis Rams Vs. Atlanta Falcons)''===
About three-quarters through this hour-long recap of the game (a Falcons' victory), one of the defensive linemen for Atlanta - Patrick Kearny perhaps? - points to his family in the stands.  One of them is holding up a sign that says "GOOD JORB!", an unmistakable reference to Coach Z.

===''The Screen Savers''===
On an episode of The Screen Savers on G4TechTV there was a guest on there that knows how to make Atari 2600 games and he is making a [[Homestar Runner RPG]], which is still in development.

The [http://www.g4techtv.com/screensavers/episodes/3848/Home_Star_Runner_eXeem_LA_Auto_Show.html January 24th episode] of The Screen Savers had [[Screen Savers Interview - 24 Jan 2005|an interview]] with [[The Brothers Chaps]]. Also featured on this episode, puppet Strong Bad made his debut to answer questions from fans. The article also mentions that in order to learn more than one ever thought possible about [[Homestar Runner (flash cartoon)|Homestar Runner]], one can head over to the Homestar Runner Wiki.



===''G4tv.com''===
On [http://www.g4tv.com/g4tv/episodes/3888/Men_are_from_World_of_Warcraft_Woman_are_From_The_Sims.html this episode] of G4tv.com on G4, an unnamed person, playing the role of Laura Foy's date, was seen wearing a "[[Trogdor (character)|Trogdor]]" shirt.

The strange, but funny, videoclip, entitled Gamer Dating Do's And Don'ts is now available for viewing at [http://www.g4tv.com/mediaplayer/index.aspx?video_key=9033 this location.]

===''The Geek Show''===
On "[http://www.thegeekshow.com/ The Geek Show]", [[Strong Bad Email]]s are frequently shown as an example of "What's funny on the internet." They have played both "[[japanese cartoon]]" and "[[dullard]]" on their show.

===''Junkin''===
On the television show [http://www.turnersouth.com/network/shows/junkin/ Junkin'], the host "Dave" has appeared wearing Trogdor and Strong Bad T-shirts.

=== ''Buffy'' ===
In the series finale of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Ep 7x22) Trogdor was used as a creature in a game of Dungeons and Dragons.  The following is a transcript of the reference.

GILES:  I'm &mdash; I'm &mdash; I'm all turned around. You're here?

XANDER:  By the pillar, yeah. I'm protecting this area.

GILES:  That puts me over by the door. Demons around the perimeter. Right! I open the door.

Pan over to show Andrew is also at the table, but he's wearing a red hooded cloak.

ANDREW:  (reading from a book) You go through the door and are confronted by Trogdor the Burninator.

GILES:  Oh, bugger it. Fight. (rolls dice, sips wine)

ANDREW:  Adios to 5 hit points. Trogdor has badly wounded you. 

GILES:  Well, wait a minute. What about my... (puts on glasses) bag of illusions?

ANDREW:  (scoffs) Illusions against a Burninator? Silly, silly British man. (Giles sips his wine again)

AMANDA:  I invoke a time flux on Trogdor.

ANDREW:  (looks at Amanda) Step down, girlfriend, you can't just &mdash; 

AMANDA:  Ninth level sorcerer, and I carry the emerald chalice. Trogdor is frozen in time. Deal with it. (writes something down)

=== ''Angel'' ===
In a season five episode of ''Angel'' entitled "The Girl In Question," (also entitled "An Italian job for Spike and Angel") Angel and Spike were looking for Buffy overseas.  They arrived at the apartment where Buffy lives, but Andrew was the only one there.  He was talking to them about someone named "The Immortal," and he was wearing a black Strong Bad t-shirt.  Later in the episode, Andrew wore the same SB shirt with a pore strip plastered on his nose.

Incidentally, Andrew is the very same character who appeared in the Trogdor-laden ''Buffy'' reference.  Since both shows are the brainchildren of creator/writer/executive director Joss Whedon, we can probably assume that the creator of the Buffyverse is also a fan of Homestarverse.

=== ''Megas XLR'' ===
In an episode called "Breakout", Coop tried to use an attack called Double Deuce by jumping and putting two fists in front of him.

=== ''Pulse Interview'' ===
In early 2004 the show Pulse on G4TechTV talked with the Brothers Chaps, and asked them about their new game that they are developing for the Atari 2600.  They showed many video clips of their Atari game.  The Chaps told about how they record their voices and how successful they have been.  They announced that later this year they are going to release a DVD with the First 100 emails.  Later after the commercial break they went to interview the company that is developing the Homestar Runner game.  The company was Videlectrix of course.  The whole interview was weird because you could tell that the Videlectrix owner was just one of the Brothers Chaps in a mustache but the whole making an Atari game was real.

=== ''Cheat'' ===
On one episode of Cheat on G4TechTV, they were talking about a name generator on "Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic" and if you made names long enough, Homsar's name would show up.

=== ''Survivor: Pearl Islands'' ===
When Ryan Shoulders (known on the show as Ryan S.) picks up some tree mail (the show's system of getting messages to the castaways), he sings the opening to SB Email [[techno]], singing it as "the tree mail, the tree mail, what, what, the tree mail." This may also explain Ryan S.' name appearing in the email "[[theme park]]".

=== ''X-Play'' ===
On an episode of G4TechTV's X-Play, the wrestling game "WWE: Day of Reckoning" is reviewed, and when the "create your own wrestler" mode is being demoed, the created wrestler (presumably created for the show, not by the game's developers) looks suspiciously like Strong Bad, and appears to be named alternately "SB" and "Essbee".

=== ''Invader Zim'' ===

In the episode "Gaz, Taster of Pork," On the Frankin Chokie box there is a picture of Bubs' head on the side.  Though this may be because of the constant use of Bubs-esque faces on just about everything on the show.

=== ''The Tonight Show with Jay Leno'' ===

Leno was showing examples of absurd eBay auctions and having the audience guess whether they sold or not. One of them was a laptop that had been shot with a shotgun. It's subject line said "LIKE USED! SLIGHTLY SHOTGUNNED!" from [[virus]]. It sold.

=== ''The Rock''===
There was also a quote from [[Strong Bad]]'s character page on a La Crosse, Wisconson radio station called "95.7 The Rock." It goes from the part 
where strong bad says, "Ladies form a line to my left for makeouts! Dudes, form a line to my right for high-fives," and stops at the part where Homestar says, "Well, I was going to get a 
high-five, but I see that I'm already here."

=== ''Q98'' ===
On Q98- 98.7 (a radio station in Fargo, ND/Moorhead, MN), The DJ, Stash, said something about checking out something on their website, and he said "... at q98.net, its dot com." Which could be an obvious reference to the First Time Here cartoon where Homestar says "Welcome to HomestarRunner.net ... It's dot com!"

''Everybody to the Limit'' and other Homestar Runner footage might have been part of other Beastie Boys shows during the 2004 Pageant Tour, but no other sightings were reported up until now.
The JumboTron screens were an essential part of the show and were also used during the concert to show live footage of the stage as well as other pop culture reference material like accelerated footage of some Atari 2600 video games gameplay such as Frogger's and scenes from Battlestar Galactica (during their song '''Intergalactic''').

In addition to all of that, if you watch the commentary, it mentions that he got the inspiration for the "Claymation Simulator" from Strong Mad's Doug the Dino, in strong bad email [[the facts]]. Also in Fox Mcloud's arwing, there is a book called "TROGDOR The musical".

(at which the left and right sides of the band formation went wide-screen)

Also, the Yale Anti-Gravity Society's fall 2004 juggling/fire show was basically an entire trogdor narrative: one guy, starring as Trogdor, complete with a huge muscular arm and green clothing, played the Limozeen version of "Trogdor!" while breathing fire-- there was also a peasant involved, who, throughout the course of the show, became on fire like a peasant.
