Character Video Transcript

{Page Title: The Hand-Me-Down Clown!} {Places: The Field}

{The background is upside-down throughout the video, with the blue sky on the bottom of the screen and the green grass at the top.}

HOMSAR: AaAaAaAaAaAaA! Hi, Wonder Mike! I'm Homsar! The captain of the gravy train. {bowler hat pops up and turns into a train conductor's hat} Climb aboard! {hat returns to normal} I've brought my best foot flowered... Pshoooo! (Homsar's hat slides down the back of his head, then snaps back once the "Pshoooo!" sound is over) Sure beats breaking up with me. Don't look now! I'm just a friendly reminder. AaAaAaAaAaAaA! AaAaAaAaAaAaA! {runs around screen backwards and ends up at the top, upside down} Think I won the Powerball.

His hat moves around all on its own every time Homsar speaks, but it always returns to its resting place on his head shortly thereafter, even if Homsar is standing upside-down (except in different town, as Modestly Hot Homsar, and origins). It has also been known to change shape (in his character video) and appear from nowhere (in impression). When Homsar was first created, the hat was much larger and didn't fly as much.

Fun Facts

• "Wonder Mike" is a member of The Sugarhill Gang, famous for the song "Rapper's Delight." In the beginning of "Rapper's Delight", Wonder Mike says "I am Wonder Mike and I like to say hello", so Homsar saying "Hi, Wonder Mike" could possibly be a response.
• "Think I won the Powerball" is a reference to the multistate Powerball Lottery, which is known for having large jackpots.
• The font used on Homsar's shirt is Bauhaus 93, the same one used in the background of the "Come on in" and "Watch Intro" page and on the Downloads button.
• Homsar's character page is the only one with background music.
• Homsar's nonsensical dialogue is nonetheless grammatically correct. This is a trait most commonly found in schizophrenia and is referred to as "word salads."
• Although at the end of his character video he is standing from the top of the screen, he is actually standing right-side up, since the ground is on the top of the screen.
• Mr. Shmallow and Nibbles make the same walking noise as Homsar.
