Current revision as of 04:25, 18 February 2024
Multiple bands throughout the Homestar Runner body of work were introduced in the Strong Bad Email band names.
Asked to help the sender come up with a name for his band, Strong Bad first recommends using "a really cool last name" (citing Van Halen, Dokken and Z'Nuff) before suggesting taking "a really cool word but then spell[ing] it all wrong." He offers four ideas: "Lazor", "Bigg Nife" (an indirect reference to i love you), "Limozeen" and "Taranchula". All four would see later reference as in-universe bands, with widely varying levels of detail and prominence.

[edit] Lazor
- See main article: Lazor
Lazor was the first proposed band name. It was later confirmed to be a real band in Limozeen Live, though they have yet to appear in an actual cartoon or have a full song.
The only known member, guitarist "Crush", gave his top hat to Larry Palaroncini.
[edit] Bigg Nife
- See main article: Bigg Nife
The band name Bigg Nife references the running gag of Big Knives. Introduced with a metal riff and a glam-rock "well all right!" vocal, similar to what Limozeen would become, years later their first full song The Archer instead featured a slower hard rock style. The band has seen brief mentions but has never made an appearance in a toon.
[edit] Taranchula
- See main article: Taranchula
Taranchula first appeared as a proposed band name, accompanied by a heavy metal riff. The band would later be established as a Scandanavian death metal band, sounding very similar to the riff from this email (the same sound byte accompanied their appearance on the Half-Hour Death Metal Dungeon Hour).
[edit] Limozeen
- See main article: Limozeen
Limozeen was the final name proposed by Strong Bad, accompanied by a soft acoustic guitar sound. Later entries in the Homestar Runner body of work would establish Limozeen as a glam metal group, sounding closer to the riffs that accompanied Lazor or Bigg Nife in this toon.
