		+	== History ==
		+	[[File:New Toons Menu.png\|thumb\|The TTTM in 2016. Note the differences in buttons on the remote, format of listings in the guide, and tapes in the cabinet.]]
		+	*Originally, the toons menu only listed four categories: Toons, [[Features]] (a section containing [[Strong Bad Email]], [[Marzipan's Answering Machine]], and [[Teen Girl Squad]]), Shorts, and Holiday. (This version can be seen [http://www.homestarrunner.kitkorp.com/toons-pre-new-remote.html here].)
		+	*The toons menu layout changed on June 22, 2004, dividing all the toons into eight categories. [[Powered by The Cheat]] and [[Puppet Stuff]] sections were added, and the Features were divided into their own sections at the bottom.
		+	*On February 12, 2007, a "[[New Stuff]]" tape replaced one of the (non-interactive) "Joy of Painting" videos. When clicked, it listed the toons released from 2007 onward.
		+	*The toons menu layout changed again for the [[post-Flash site update]] on December 31, 2020. The menu was recreated in HTML, with GIF previews instead of SWF files. New Stuff was changed to Latest Stuff, Powered by The Cheat was merged with Shorts, and Teen Girl Squad and Answering Machine were given their own sub-menus instead of linking to other pages. While prior versions of the menu had all information for each item in plain sight, the updated version's menu items show the Channel ID, title, and links, with the description, release year, and length revealed upon clicking the title or ID. Some previously [[YouTube]]-exclusive content was added, such as [[Skills of an Artist]]. The back button was also removed.
		+	**Two weeks later, on January 15, 2021, a "Video Stuff" category was created for content that is primarily [[live action]] but does not qualify as Puppet Stuff. This includes the [[Peasant's Quest Movie Trailer]] and Skills of an Artist, which were previously shorts.
