This is a personal project. I am collecting all of the things Homsar has said since his introduction on the Homestar Runner website, and attempting to identify the context of each line. This is mainly to determine if Homsar's speech counts as word salad.
Homsar's Speech in Chronological Order (oldest first)
| Quote | Toon | Context | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| "DaAaAa, what ees it, Strong Bayaad!" | Email homsar (2001) | Responding to Strong Bad, who had just gotten his attention. | Simple greeting |
| "DaAAahhh, hello, Marzypa-yun. It's Homsar! Dahhh, I was just calling to thank you for the flowers you sent me while I was in the hospital. Daahh, I'm feeling much better now, but I still can't feel my leeegs. Okay, bye-dee-bye." | Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 5.0 (Dec. 2001/Jan. 2002) | Presumably recovered from having the Heavy Lourde dropped on him. | Basically perfect (if exaggerated) English |
| The House That Gave Sucky Treats (Oct. 27, 2001) | Homsar's intro, and then his lines after being handed Shavin' Creem, Black and Orange, and Taffy Wrench, respectively. | His intro references his costume. His responses to the treats are weird, but they do make some sense. |
| Where's The Cheat? (Feb. 25, 2002) | Playing Connect Four with Strong Sad, and then speaking to Bubs. | Homsar's line does reference two games (although not Connect Four, which Strong Sad remarks on), and he almost gets Bubs' name right. |
| "AaAaAaAaAaAaA!!! I'm saving the best for last!" | Email your friends (Oct. 14, 2002) | During the montage, Strong Bad buries Homsar and covers him with scorpions. | Perfectly legitimate phrase with no real discernable connection to the situation. Not really a word salad, though. |
| Homestar Runner: What do you have to say for yourself, little man? Homsar: {unusually dejected voice} I'm the ghost of Christmas past. Homestar Runner: Wow. You set a new standard for last place. You don't get a ding. Homsar: And also with you. | Pumpkin Carve-nival (Oct. 29, 2002) | Homestar and The Cheat walk up to Homsar, whose "pumpkin" is an eggplant with a spoon taped to it. | Homsar's first response references A Christmas Carol, while his second line is a common response in many religious prayers. Neither one qualifies as a word salad - both have some connection to the scene. |
| No line | | N/A | N/A |
| "Nowowowow, this is the thrill of a lifetime." | Happy T! (Nov. 28, 2002) | This Easter egg was found by clicking on the bottom-right corner of the page. | The other characters all said some variation of "Happy T!", but Homsar's line could still be construed to make some sense. |
| "I do what I'm told..." | Email dragon (Jan. 13, 2003) | Strong Bad had just told him to get outta his house. | Seems pretty coherent given the situation. |
| Email interview (Feb. 10, 2003) | These are Homsar's actual lines in this email. The other "lines" were spoken by Strong Bad. | Homsar's first line makes enough sense that Strong Bad, as well as the viewer, can figure out he's talking about Strong Sad. The second line is a comedic repetition of one of Strong Bad's lines. |
| Toons: "ToOoOoOons!" Games: "James!" Characters: "Kelsey Grammer!" Downloads: "Thank youuuuu." Store: "Legitimate business." Email: "AaAaAaAaAaAaA!" | Homsar Main Page (Feb. 10, 2003) | Homsar reads off the main navigation buttons in his own unique way. | None of these really qualify as word salads, though he does seem to go further and further out of context with each button. |
| "AAAaaaAAAaaa-I'm just in time for the murder mystery!" | Email suntan (Jun. 16, 2003) | A "Celebrity(?) Testimonial" of Strong Bad's Ab-Abber 2000. Homsar had used it to draw a calculator with the word "SALAd" on his shirt. | Homsar's line makes absolutely no sense in this scene, but the sentence itself is coherent. Doesn't qualify as a word salad, but one may wonder what he was thinking. |
| "I'm crying on the inside..." | Email impression (Aug. 25, 2003) | Homsar had just been disqualified from the Strong Sad Lookalike Contest because he looked exactly like Strong Sad. | This line makes perfect sense for two reasons: It sounds like something Strong Sad would say, and Homsar himself may have been sad he was disqualified. |
| 3 Times Halloween Funjob (Oct. 29, 2003) | |||
| "You gotta get yours, I gotta get mine." | Email army (Jan. 5, 2004) | Responding to Homestar's call to action for the Homestarmy. | This line makes some sense in this context - it could be construed that Homsar really is in the Homestarmy for personal reasons. |
| No line | | N/A | N/A |
| "I'm forever your girl." | Email different town (Feb. 23, 2004) | As Modestly Hot Homsar. It should be noted that this took place in Strong Bad's imagination. | Makes perfect sense, considering Homsar was just transformed into a female figure. |
| "It's time for tasteball!" | Email theme park (May 25, 2004) | Responding to Coach Z and Homestar, who were discussing their mascot costumes. | This line had no connection whatsoever with the other two characters and their costumes, and by itself it doesn't really make much sense at all. This is a somewhat loose example of a word salad. |
| No line | | N/A | N/A |
| Email for kids (Aug. 9, 2004) | |||
| Halloween Fairstival (Oct. 29, 2004) | |||
| Homestar Presents: Presents (Dec. 20, 2004) | |||
| Email origins (Jan. 31, 2005) | |||
| No line | | N/A | N/A |
| Email rampage (Apr. 11, 2005) | |||
| No line | | N/A | N/A |
| Email record book (Jul. 25, 2005) | |||
| No line | | N/A | N/A |
| Halloween Potion-ma-jig (Nov. 1, 2005) | |||
| "Let's sing a song of Pennzoil!" | Fall Float Parade (Nov. 21, 2005) | Homsar and a clone of himself drive through the parade. | Could be construed as a product endorsement. Pennzoil has sponsored many such parades in the real world. |
| No line | | N/A | N/A |
| Weclome Back (Jul. 3, 2006) |
