Fun Facts

Remarks

• This and Main Page 3 are the only two main pages to have just "Homestar Runner" as the page title.
• The rain is always behind everything else in the shot, other than the background, with no regard for perspective.
• The yodeler, like Homestar, does not seem to have visible arms to hold up the horn.

Inside References

• Homestar wears Strong Sad's lederhosen in the toon In Search Of The Yello Dello DVD, quite possibly the inspiration for this main page.

Real-World References

• Ricola is a brand of cough drops from Switzerland, whose commercials actually used to feature people hollering the brand name from the top of a mountain. While the Alpenhorn held by the yodeler is also a nod to the Ricola commercials, the commercial featured one yodeler to yell the brand name and another to play the horn from atop a hill.

Fast Forward

• The alps scene is used as a backdrop in the show.
• A Powered by The Cheat-style background of the alps is shown in Experimental Film.
• The clothes Homestar wears reappear in original.
