While almost all of the [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] body of work is hosted on [[homestarrunner.com]] or available for [[Store|purchase]], [[The Brothers Chaps]] have uploaded most of their [[Toons|toons]] to '''[[Wikipedia:YouTube|YouTube]]''', some of which are not viewable anywhere else. It is also the platform for some of their [[Side Projects#YouTube|side projects]], such as [[Two More Eggs]]. Their main channel for uploads of Homestar Runner cartoons is called "homestarrunnerdotcom", but a few others were created before it became active.

 

homestarrunnerdotcom was first registered on October 1, 2007, but remained inactive until early 2009 when it began to see uploads of DVD versions of [[Toons|toons]], including a few that were previously DVD exclusives. It was proven that the account is official when an alternate version of [[independent]] was released there exclusively. Most animations are provided in 720p HD, however some are supplied in 480p or 1080p.

 

The channel was active until December 17, 2009, and was inactive until September 24, 2014, when a new icon, a One Channel banner, and a few playlists ("[[Strong Bad Emails]]", "[[Halloween|Halloween Cartoons]]", "[[Teen Girl Squad]]", "[[Decemberween|Decemberween Toons]]", "[[Puppet Stuff]]", "[[Live Action]] [[Crap]]", and later "[[Skills of an Artist]]") were added. Strong Bad Emails were also renamed to include their numbers. In more recent uploads, [[Easter egg]] scenes featured in toons at the end were added, alongside [[YouTube Related Video Thumbnails|fake thumbnails]] in order to fake an ending to the video.

 

 

Cartoons and more from the website [[HomestarRunner.com]] featuring waggly, animated [[Dumb Animal Characters|animal characters]] like [[Homestar Runner]], [[Strong Bad]], and [[Cherry Greg]]. Also [[Trogdor]]! We should probably mention Trogdor, right? Oh man, this description is getting totally great! You can even PAUSE these videos unlike that busted old website! Also they have better [[Sound Quality|quality sound]]! But none of those hidden [[easter eggs]]. YouTube doesn't know how to do that yet. Hey! That's one reason to keep [[Flash]] around! ONE!

The phrase "'''for to'''" is a phrase used by the [[characters]] in the [[Homestar Runner universe]] that is used in the place of "for" or "to". Initially used in reference to [[Wikipedia:Super Mario 64|Super Mario 64]], the phrase has been used more broadly in later appearances.

 

*[[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 8.0]] &mdash; [[Strong Bad]] mentions that he's waiting in the bushes "for to give <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[Marzipan]]<nowiki>]</nowiki> the million punches in the face".

While [[reptiles]] are frequently mentioned in the [[Homestar Runner universe]], one '''turtle''' in particular has been spotted several times, usually associated with [[Strong Bad]]. It first appears when [[Other Character Variations#Buckethand Strong Bad|Buckethand Strong Bad]] uses his bucket hand to dump [[oatmeal]] on it. A boy named Geoff found the turtle in his shoe, claiming its name was Slowbie, and renaming it Mr. Shoe, as shown in a newspaper clipping from [[time capsule]]. It appears in [[3D Character Variations|3D]] in Homestar Ruiner, when it is one of the obstacles that you need to jump over in the [[Tri-Annual Race to the End of the Race]]. Strong Bad flips it upside down (along with [[Strong Mad]]) in [[sbemail206]], as an [[April Fools Day]] prank.

*Email [[anything]] &mdash; [[Coach Z]] compliments [[Homestar Runner]] on his "fresh kicks" (shoes made out of Freshley's shoeboxes).

=Ghosts=

[[File:bad graphics ghost.png|thumb|100px|Bad Graphics Ghost]]

'''[[Wikipedia:Ghost|Ghosts]]''' are frequently mentioned and seen in [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] cartoons and appear in many different forms throughout the series. They are most often mentioned in [[Halloween]] toons.

=Other The Papers=

 

{| border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=4 style="border-collapse:collapse" width="100%"

 

|[[File:Supra Modern Telegram.png|200px|"The Future...Sorta!"]]

|'''[[Supra Modern Telegram]]''' is the [[Old-Timey]] version of The Paper. It is only seen in the DVD version of [[little animal]], during an Old-Timey [[Easter egg]]. It is a gray paper that reads "-the end-" below its slogan, "The Future...Sorta!". The sides of the paper have darker gray boxes with letters and numbers inside of them.

|[[little animal]] (DVD version)

 

|-id="Powered by The Cheat"

|[[File:PBTCPaper.png|200px|"Preeor..."]]

|'''[[Powered by The Cheat]] The Paper''' has been seen in two Powered by The Cheat-themed emails. Most of the time, it has the same text as The Paper, but in badly-formed letters. In [[Store#CDs and DVDs|DVD]] versions, [[YouTube]] versions, and [[Crazy Cartoon]] (its only non-email appearance), it reads ">>>The End<<<". It makes a vocalized "[[preeeeow]]"-like sound when it comes down.

 

|[[File:crumbled paper.png|200px|We the people...]]

|In Strong Bad's dream email aboard the [[Nuclear Class Submarine "Soccermom"]], he uses an upside-down copy of the '''[[Wikipedia:United States Constitution|United States Constitution]]''', with the email address written at the top in red. The paper is beige and looks old, with small tears and wrinkles.

 

|[[File:LetterPaper.png|200px|An envelope... That's all.]]

|The '''Envelope Paper''' is an interdepartmental [[Wikipedia:Manila folder|Manila envelope]] with "click HERE to email [[strong bad]]" written on its flap. Only the section marked "HERE" is actually clickable. The Envelope Paper's tenure was short-lived, only being used in one email alongside the [[Corpy NT6]] after [[The Paper]] and/or [[New Paper]] disintegrated in the [[Lappy 486]]'s [[explosion]] in the previous email, [[hremail3184]]. In [[independent]], Strong Bad began using his new [[Compé]] for checking his email and the Envelope Paper was replaced with the [[Compé-per]].

 

 

In the [[Skills of an Artist]] episode [[Cartoon Characters]], [[Strong Bad]] draws himself and [[Homestar Runner]] with crude, simple, stick-figure-like designs, and names them Character 1 and Character 2, respectively. He speaks in a calm, soothing tone similar to that of [[wikipedia:Bob Ross|Bob Ross]], frequently using phrases such as "far out" and "that's right". This eventually inspired the toon [[Characters from Yonder Website]], the debut of '''Yonder Website'''.

 

Yonder Website features [[Yonder Website Character Variations|Characters 1 through 8]] (and possibly [[Homsar|Character 12]], who has only been mentioned on Strong Bad's [[@StrongBadActual|Twitter account]]), simple versions of the [[Characters#Main characters|main characters]] with black wiggly outlines, white colors, and no shading. They speak in [[tvtropes:Main/SpeakingSimlish|unintelligible sounds]] in their voice, which are understood by Strong Bad as the narrator. The setting is blue, with lighter blue bushes resembling those of [[The Field]], drawn in a blurry watercolor-like style. <nowiki>[[Gumption]]</nowiki> and "spice of life" are considered very important in Yonder Website, and a chime regularly informs everyone to bend at the knees. A "spice of life" appears to be a picture within a thought bubble, and each person's is different.

 

The [[TV show]] itself is described as "unbelievably soothing children's programming". It is implied to be a hallucination by the main characters as a result of drinking ten-year expired [[Smarty Juice]]. Smarty Juice is also one of the show's sponsors, along with [[environment|GreenCheat]] and [[Minor Companies|Faceless Megacorp]]. The show is very similar to Trauncles, a series from one of [[The Brothers Chaps]]' [[The Brothers Chaps' Side Projects|side projects]], [[Two More Eggs]]. Like Characters from Yonder Website, Trauncles features crude stick-figure characters who speak unintelligibly, but are understood by a calm narrator.

*[[Cartoon Characters]] &mdash; The debut of Characters 1 and 2, Strong Bad's narrator voice, Smarty Juice, and the music.

*[[Characters from Yonder Website]] &mdash; The only full cartoon.

*[[Haunted Photo Booth Teaser]] &mdash; Character 2, Strong Bad's narrator voice, and the music make appearances.

*[[The Next April Fools Thing]] (YouTube version) &mdash; The [[YouTube Related Video Thumbnails|fake autoplay thumbnail]] shows "Falling Asleep Great with Character 1 from Yonder Website".

*[[Final Hours Playthrough]] &mdash; [[Puppet Character Variations#Puppet Strong Bad|Puppet Strong Bad]] occasionally uses his soothing narrator voice, and [[Matt Chapman]] does the voice of Character 3.

=Gumption=

[[File:Gumption.png|thumb|Commit to it!]]

'''Gumption''' is a quality frequently mentioned in the [[Homestar Runner universe]], often at unexpected times.

*Email [[replacement]] &mdash; During the dance contest montage, dancing music plays over clips of everyone dancing. The music stops abruptly at the last clip, [[Homestar Runner]] singing instead of dancing.

*[[Haunted Photo Booth]] &mdash; Music plays over a montage of everyone taking pictures in the [[Photo Boooth|photo booth]]. When [[The King of Town]] enters, the music stops abruptly, accompanied by a long pause before the montage and music resume.

*[[Six-Sadded, Die: Don't Make Daddy P.O.'d]] &mdash; Board game commercial music plays during a montage of [[Strong Sad]] and [[Lucky Yates]] making up the rules of <nowiki>[[Don't Make Daddy P.O.'d]]</nowiki>. In the middle of the montage, the music stops abruptly as Strong Sad talks to Lucky about his [[soolnds]]. After a long pause, the montage and music resume.

=Worldbuilders=

[[File:GeekdoingGoodGoat.jpg|thumb|"His charity gives people goats!"]]

'''[http://worldbuilders.org Worlbuilders]''' is a charity organization run by [[wikipedia:Patrick Rothfuss|Patrick Rothfuss]]. Since 2015, [[The Brothers Chaps]] have helped support and raise awareness about their fundraisers.

*[[@StrongBadActual]] &mdash; June 1, 2015 &mdash; @StrongBadActual linked to a Worldbuilders fundraiser, and edited a drawing of [[Aliases Used in Prank Calls#Strong Bad|Goatface]] from [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 12.2]] to look like Patrick Rothfuss, due to the charity giving people [[goats]].

*[[Strong Bad Classics!]] &mdash; This toon was announced as a $500,000 goal for Worldbuilders. Upon achieving that goal, the [[Strong Bad reads "The Ocelot and the Porridge Maiden" (Teaser Trailer) - Worldbuilders 2014|teaser trailer]] was released on Worldbuilders's [[YouTube]] channel, and the toon was released a few months later.

*[[@StrongBadActual]] &mdash; November 29 - December 13, 2017 &mdash; @StrongBadActual promoted the Worldbuilders fundraiser, and gave away original [[Skills of an Artist]] drawings, discontinued [[Store]] items, and more to people who donated.

[[File:TrogdorTheBoardGameWebsite.png|thumb|"A cooperative game of burnination, majesty, and consummate V's."]]

A '''webpage''' was created to promote '''[[Trogdor!! The Board Game]]'''. It was linked to on the [[Index Page]] until the Kickstarter campaign began on July 17, at which point the website stopped updating.
