505 Unbelievably Stupid Web Pages

On page 125 of this book, "Strongbad E-Mail" is listed as link number 256. The writer claims "...the answers to these questions require as much thought as you'd expect from a baboon."

BigStuf Camp

The youth camp program "BigStuf" held in Panama City, FL every year is home to several Homestar Runner sightings: The violin player in the camp's band consistently wears various Homestar Runner shirts, and a Homestar Runner character is always thanked on the last day of camp every year. In 2004, it was Homestar Runner. In 2005, it was Coach Z.

Celebration 3

Homestar on X-Wing

Before Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, the official fan club held a convention in the Indiana Convention Center, where they showed cars modeled after several ships from the Star Wars universe. One of the X-Wing cars had a Homestar Runner cling sticker on it.

Great Teacher Largo Panel, Otakon

At the GLT panel, during the question and answer session, someone asked how Largo "typed with boxing gloves on". Largo replied that he was not Strong Bad, but he does "rock out like Trogdor" and sometimes his computer gets "burninated".

Macromedia Flash 8 Conference

H*R in Flash Player 8

As part of the first showing of the unreleased at the time Macromedia Flash Player 8, a graphical demo was shown with various effects that will be available in the new player being applied to both graphics, text, animations and movies on the fly. Of all the animations on the web, the Macromedia developers decided to feature both Homestar Runner and an animated The Homestar Runner, showing the new effects being applied to their forms.

This was the first use of Homestar Runner by Macromedia, the later being the short, Where the Crap Are We?, which appeared as an easter egg in the about dialog of Macromedia Central.

Pumpkin!

Around Halloween 2004, at "The Old Spaghetti Factory" restaurant in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, they had a large collection of carved pumpkins all over the place, and one prominently placed pumpkin near the entrance had a (excellently carved) likeness of Homestar in it. This is quite significant, considering "The Old Spaghetti Factory" is a fairly large chain, and a higher class restaurant.

Super Size Me

In the movie Super Size Me, there are a group of kids at the computer watching an old Tandy era Strong Bad Email.
