Oh, check me out, it's the front of my head!

Behind the set of a main page. Everything is flipped around, since we're seeing it from the back, and ink marks where all the buttons are.

Cast (In order of appearance): Homestar Runner, Coach Z, Strong Bad, The Cheat, Strong Sad

Icon: Piece of wood

Page title: "Backstage Pass!"

Date: September 19, 2005

• Toons — Coach Z pops up with a clapboard and says, "Main Page number 23, take one, action!" Homestar delays saying "Toons" until after he's gone.
• Games — A piece of wood falls off of the set, striking Homestar on the head. It reappears where it was after a few seconds.
• Characters — On the first mouse-over, Strong Bad jumps up and says "Oh, check me out, it's the front of my head!" while facing away from the user. On the second mouse-over, Strong Bad jumps up and says "Oh, check me out, it's the back of my head!" while facing toward the user.
• Downloads — The Cheat falls in front of Homestar and walks off.
• Store — Another Homestar walks in front of Homestar and says, "'Sup, man?" Homestar replies, "'Sup?"
• E-mail — A piece of wood, presumably painted with Strong Sad's head on the opposite side, floats across the screen with the words "Wear a Bikini!" written on the back of it. From off screen Strong Sad holds up his tape player into view and presses "Play," causing it to say (in Strong Sad's voice) "I'm the floating head of dooooom!!"

Fun Facts

• Unlike most of the other characters, The Cheat faces toward the screen on this page, meaning that if it was being seen from the "front," The Cheat would be facing backwards.
• When the Homestar clone walks by, he appears from in front of the buttons (for the intended viewer position). This is very unusual, no characters except Homestar usually overlap the buttons in the background.
  • The Cheat is like this, also.
• The Weeklies buttons are not truly flipped. It should go in this order, left to right: Random Toon, Sketchbook, Weekly Fanstuff, then Quote of the Week.
  • This goes for the main pages, too.
• If The Cheat falls while Homestar is walking past, Homestar is in front of The Cheat even though from the perspective he should be farther away.
• If you hold down the tab button on this menu, several hidden items become highlighted. You cannot click on them with your mouse, but you can select them by pressing enter.
  • To the left of the visible recent updates button is another recent updated button.
  • There is a yet another recent updates button where the recent updates button normally is.
  • There is another First Time Here? button on the left side located where the First Time Here? button normally is relative to the recent updates button.
  • There is yet another First Time Here? button off the right edge of where it normally is.
• The support behind Homestar's head would be visible from the front, but doesn't show up on any of the other main pages.
• The parts of the buttons for toons, games, and characters that are sticking out aren't clickable.
• Although the part of the characters button where the "s" would be is partly sticking out, the characters button on other main pages isn't sticking out at all.
