. . .and by the number 3

Within Homestarrunner.com there are a number of references to PBS or to shows which appear on PBS:

  • Email autobiography - Strong Bad's intro ("This email is brought to you by a grant from The Cheat and the support of Viewers Like You") comes from the start of most Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) television programs.
  • Email for kids - This e-mail is based on a number of ideas from PBS television shows. Some of the references include:
    The noise Homsar makes when he teleports around are similar to noises on the PBS show Boohbah.
    The Guitar Playing Man bears a striking resemblance to folk singer James Taylor. Taylor has made numerous appearances on the children's TV program Sesame Street, often singing educational songs.
    Homsar asking the kids if they want to "hear of (the song) 50 times more" may be a reference to the PBS show Teletubbies, in which whenever a "real-life" clip is shown, it is always repeated per request of the Teletubbies.
    The "letter of the day" feature in Homsar's show is reminiscent of Sesame Street, which ends each show with the mock sponsorship, "Sesame Street was brought to you ... by the letter __!"
  • Email morning routine - Strong Sad says he wants to "watch that show on public broadcasting hosted by that British guy."
  • Email disconnected - Bub's repetition of the phrase "twicely fresh" is reminiscent of the Sesame Street character and host of Mysterious Theater Vincent Twice's repetition of his own name.
