| - | '''Shark-Tooth Bubs''' is a plush doll prototype of [[Bubs]] that sharply deviates from his character design. Rather than two [[mismatched eyes]], one black and one blue with a white ring, he has two black eyes and a large protruding white-ringed horn; his teeth are pointed and shark-like rather than rectangular. | + | [[4 branches]]: '''HOMESTAR:''' Chinese b- |

| - | The plush toy was created by a company in {{w|Hong Kong}}, during the pre-production of the [[Kick The Cheat]] dolls. To demonstrate their ability to adapt [[The Cheat]] to three dimensions, the toy company produced sample plush dolls of [[Strong Bad]], [[Homestar Runner]], [[Marzipan]], and Bubs (the first two of which [[Puppet Character Variations#Not Quite Puppets|have also been shown]]). Though the first three were created largely on-model, the manufacturer "[[theme park#Commentary Transcript|misinterpreted pretty much everything]]" about Bubs's [[dumb animal characters|odd design]], resulting in the inclusion of [[fangs]] and a horn.

| - | '''Inconsistencies''' large and small occur throughout the toons portraying the [[Homestar Runner universe]]. The [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] body of work is primarily created independently by [[The Brothers Chaps]], without use of a dedicated style guide or {{w|Script supervisor|continuity supervisor}}, allowing for discrepancies to accumulate over [[Timeline of Homestar Runner|the 20-plus years of production]]. | + | [[from work]]: '''HOMESTAR:''' -veges. It helps |
| | | | |
| - | Furthermore, Homestar Runner relies heavily on whimsical, surreal, and absurd humor. Much like comedic inspirations ''[[Looney Tunes]]'' or ''[[The Three Stooges]]'', toons are largely independent of one another; though some elements remain as constants, various minor facets of settings or characterization may be changed or ignored to better tell a joke or set a scene. Because Homestar Runner is not narrative-driven, complete consistency and total continuity are not goals and very minor inconsistencies are common between cartoons. The site's [[FAQ]] recommends that fans remember "[[TVTropes:Main/MST3KMantra|it's just a cartoon and you probably shouldn't worry about it]]."
