Fun Facts

Trivia

  • This is the first main page to have Homestar in his regular clothes.
  • Homestar's propeller is the propeller from his old design. His mouth is also from an earlier design, which would not be fixed until Main Page 16.

Remarks

  • The Yello Dello appears to be falling at the same speed as Homestar.
  • Relative to the clouds, Strong Bad's hot air balloon is actually sinking pretty quickly.

Goofs

  • Sometimes when Homestar stops falling, the propeller on his hat is still blurred.
  • When Strong Bad is singing, his lips aren't moving.
  • Strong Bad's line gets cut off before he should finish singing, making it sound like he's saying "balloo".
  • When the mouse is moved off Downloads, Homestar's star goes down, and then pops back up for a second.
  • When Homestar reverses direction, his propeller continues to move in the same cycle. However, it should start spinning in the opposite direction.

Inside References

  • The page title "What's so great about Homestar Runner?" may be a reference to the page title of Main Page 1, "What's not to love about Homestar Runner?"

Real-World References

  • The zeppelin on fire is a reference to the Hindenburg. However, the Hindenburg disaster happened while docking rather than in mid-flight.
  • "Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon?" is a line from "Up, Up and Away" by the group The Fifth Dimension.
  • The sound when Homestar stops falling is the tire-screech noise to simulate stopping used by Hanna-Barbera.
