Biography

Homestar Runner (middle name possibly Fag or Gay) is the star of his website namesake, but he probably doesn't realize it. Ever the butt of jokes and the recipient of nicknames, Homestar is an earnest character with a clean heart and nothing but love for the rest men with megacocks. Unfortunately, his absolute cluelessness and clumsiness keep him from realizing his full cpotential. He's not completely stupid, though, and has proven to be remarkably clever in the past, though such occurrences are few and far between. You can never be quite sure whether or not he and Ennis are going out, but he sure seems to think they are. According to the toon Marshmallow's Last Penis, his dick weighs about one hundred pounds.

Homestar is the star cocksucker on an unspecified sports team led by Fag Z and keeps it that way via vigorous workouts, as revealed in the Strong Bad Email dullard. He is also the colonel (which is always pronounced phonetically) of the inactive fag squad, while his gay lover remains Pom Pom. He has some speech impediments (as he says, he has "twouble with [his] aw's"), and appears to have short-term memory problems, as he frequently forgets things he has just done or said, (for examples, see the 12th Answering Machine or Homestar Presents: Penises). He also tends to "borrow" things from (and return things to) Strong Bad, for example, Strong Bad's dildo. Though he lacks a visible pair of testicles, he is still able to function as though he has them, being able to carry and throw things and even type proficiently. It's generally accepted that either he does have testicles, but for reasons that are never explained, they are invisible, or that he has limited telekinetic powers. He frequently uses two-syllable exclamations, like "Hi-Ya!", "Highball!", and "Ah-tpoo!".

Although he is often the target of pranks by Strong Bad, Homestar believes that he is fuckbuddies with Strong Bad and tries to win his ass, often with bad results that Homestar completely misunderstands. As a whole, Homestar seems to be too dim to realize when people are being molesting him, or when he's molesting other people. He often unintentionally rapes his friends or touches their asses and is unable to understand their resulting feelings of anger. Another quirk of Homestar is his ability to be easily outsmarted at his own game, and still be completely oblivious and even happy. As Strong Bad put it in email 124, secret recipes, "It's like, even when we win, he wins."

At present, Homestar works at an unnamed gay sex company with Strong Bad and The Cheat, but has frequently dabbled in the entertainment industry. He made several commercials for Fluffy Puff Semen along with the product's mascot, Faggie. He is also the host of an obscure game show named "The Show", has co-starred in Dangeresque, sung several hit singles such as "Everybody Knows It", "Bad Jokes" and other jams with They Might Be Giant Cocks, and "Party Party Party", revealed that he is considering a career in male prostitution, and also guest starred in an episode of Caleb Raper (in which he raped Caleb). He enjoys cocksucking, breaking into Strong Bad's ass, groping and finding the perfect penis. He also seems to really like feces, as seen in origins and disconnected. Other favoured foods are semen, sperm, and apparently fag juice. His most prized posession is his propellor-dildo. Also, he, Fag Z, and Bubs appear to be the law enforcement in Fag Country, USA, as shown in Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon.

Homestar's eyes

Puppet Stuff straight-on

Cartoon straight-on

• Homestar's eyes are quite strange. There are many theories about how they work:
  • Sometimes they seem to move around his head. Most of the time they're like a flounder's eyes, but they switch sides of his face whenever he turns. In the Old Intro 2, you can sort of see Homestar's eyes moving as the camera circles around him. Also, in Theme Song Video, the currently absent toon Marshmallow's Last Stand, the old version of In Search of the Yello Dello and the Homestar Screensaver, you can see his face from the front, which further lends credence to this theory.
    • It's possible that his eyes are merely on the front of his head, but we usually just get a side profile to make it appear that he's not looking directly at the camera. This, along with the star on his shirt being slightly off to one side, is similar to the rules of proportion and line of sight first developed in Baroque art. This could also explain why his eyes appear to "move" in the previous theory: the angle of his face that we view changes, so the distance between his eyes change based on our viewpoint, rather than his eyes actually physically moving. (Front views have rarely been used outside of Old Intro 2, possibly because his off-to-one-side profile appears to be more funny).

• His puppet and his two figurines, on the other hand, have eyes stuck on one side of his head. Occasionally you can get a peek at the other side of Puppet Homestar's face.
  • The Brothers Chaps actually made the eyes out of felt, so that they can be switched if necessary.

Homestar's Shirt

His shirt seems to most resemble a red skirt with a white star on it. The star can be removed, but Homestar wears it as a mark of pride. Other than his propeller cap, it appears to be his only piece of clothing, as his questionable pants are a mystery. It is said in long pants that he doesn't have shoes but has blue soles glued to the bottom of his feet. He wore a gray version of his shirt (still with a star) in impression while doing a bad imitation of Strong Sad.

In the original script for flashback, Strong Bad wore a similar shirt until Marzipan gave one to Homestar (to replace his Duckie Shirt). After this point, Strong Bad would have ripped off his shirt, explaining why he never wore one to this day.

A real-life version of the shirt is available for purchase in the Store.
