From: TrogdorCon '97

50K Starrunner

Homestar Runner's chant of "left, right, left, right, right, right, no—" is similar to the description of 50K Racewalker on the Videlectrix games catalog page.

From: TrogdorCon '97
Posted on: 07:05, 6 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Arguments for:

  • It is slightly reminiscent of the "Left, right, left, right" Racewalker mantra.
  • Homestar messes up in a similar fashion to the description of the game.

Arguments against:

  • However, it is more likely Homestar just being Homestar and not remembering exactly how to walk.
  • This isn't a reference to 50K Racewalker. It's a reference to the Y2K episode of Family Guy.
    • If Homestar had said "foot" after left or right, then yes, it would have been. But I can't remember anyone saying "right foot, right foot" in that episode.
  • It's a reference to him being clumsy and not being able to walk correctly....wait, that's not a reference.

Additional comments:

  • Quotes:
    • HOMESTAR RUNNER:{walking slowly and staring at his feet} Left, right, left, right, right, right, no—left, right, left, right
    • VIDELECTRIX DESCRIPTION: Left, Right, Left, Right, Left, Right, Left, Right, Left, Right, Left, Right, Left, Right, Right... OOPS!!! You lose!! Alternate left right for about five hours without messing up and you could win the gold!!
  • Note: This item is currently on its way to being accepted, but it was not quite right as originally written. The item has been revised slightly to make it more "correct." If anyone who previously accepted it has a serious problem with the new wording, leave a note and we'll figure something out.
  • In spite of what one of the ArgsAg says, Homestar isn't normally clumsy. He's a "terrific athlete," remember? Just insanely clueless.

Nerdiest Diapey

The diaper reference is from the Alphonse Elric character in Fullmetal Alchemist where his apron has been mistaken by the others for a diaper.

From: TrogdorCon '97
Posted on: 17:37, 5 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Arguments for:

Arguments against:

  • This is a very long stretch.
  • It was probably just some guy wearing a diaper, or something like it.
  • This is also the case for other animation characters, such as Samurai Jack.
  • There is not enough evidence to prove that the fan in question had dressed up as Alphonse Elric.
  • If this is a reference to anything, isn't it more likely a reference to Li'l Strong Bad's "Dirtiest Diapey" in "record book"?

Additional comments:

  • Instead, have a fun fact that this refers to the common mistake of Samurai (or something) outfits being mistaken for diapers, or something like that.
