From Homestar Runner Wiki

"A dorky chef's hat threatens to tear them apart..."

Homestar Runner and Marzipan, although officially dating, have a rather tenuous relationship, as has been evidenced several times. Homestar frequently insults Marzipan (although he may not realize that he is doing so), and Marzipan occasionally treats Homestar with contempt. Occasionally, they even break up or mention breaking up. Nevertheless, they always end up together again. Their relationship seems to be the opposite of that between The Homestar Runner and Old-Timey Marzipan, who are seldom seen apart.
