Wouldn't you like to ride in my beautiful balloon?

Homestar Runner is upside down and falling through the sky.

Places: The sky

Icon: Clouds

Page title: "What's so great about Homestar Runner?"

Toons — The Strong Bad Balloon passes. Strong Bad sings, "Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon?"
Games — A zeppelin on fire (probably the Hindenburg, see below) passes by.
Characters — Homestar stops falling, with a "SCREECH!" braking noise.
Downloads — The star on his shirt starts to peel off. When you move your cursor away from the button, his star returns to its original position.
Store — He starts falling up.
Email — The Yello Dello flies by.

The Yello Dello is also falling at the same speed as Homestar.
This is the first main page to have Homestar in his regular clothes.
Relative to the clouds, Strong Bad's hot air balloon is actually sinking pretty quickly.

Sometimes when Homestar stops falling, the propeller on his hat is still blurred.
When Strong Bad is singing, his lips aren't moving.

The page title "What's so great about Homestar Runner?" may be a reference to the page title of Main Page 1, "What's not to love about Homestar Runner?"

The zeppelin on fire is a reference to The Hindenburg. It is also used as cover art for some Led Zeppelin albums.
"Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon?" is a line from "Up, Up and Away" by the group Fifth Dimension.
