Quote of the Week

From Homestar Runner Wiki

Revision as of 01:17, 2 March 2007

The old, the new, the newer, and the loading.

The Quote of the Week is a sound bite from the Homestar Runner universe. These are found by clicking on the Q at the top of the Main Pages, and are generally updated each week on Thursday. Here is a list of all Quotes of the Week collected since this feature started on January 10, 2002, under the name "Quote of the day". Since early 2004, the Quote of the Week was updated with more regularity. For some time before then, the quote of the week was a "what's new?" ovular button; it was labeled "Quote of the Day", but rolling over it would change the title to "Quote of the Week", and clicking would change it to "Quote of the Month", to denote its irregular updates (The original quote box read also read "Quote of the Day (or so)", as shown in the image). The dates of some quotes are estimated on the basis of the file-modified date.

For the July 29–November 11, 2004 quotes, the quote was only available as a .zip file. As of the November 22 quote, however, the download option appears to only be as a straight MP3, and The Brothers Chaps appear to be deleting each quote of the week as soon as the next one is released.

Quotes after November 11, 2004 are transcribed on the website. Directly saving and opening the Flash file produces some odd results; the standard Homestar image will appear along with a default message, as shown on the right.

On July 27, 2006, a "loading" box was added for while the quote was loading, probably due to the unusual length of that day's quote. The following week, on August 3, 2006, the loading box was removed.

Fun Facts

• If there is a problem finding the weeklies XML file, the text (which has no sound) is Homestar saying:

  "Oh Haldo! This is my
  funniest word style
  ever times that I've
  said! Hope all is on
  to it even more
  lately! And I wish the
  chicken & msg place
  was open on
  Somedays"

  • This makes references to Peasant's Quest (Haldo), for kids (all is on), Teen Girl Squad Issue 3 (MSG), and monster truck (Somedays).
• Formerly, the text was:

  "Oh Hello! This is my
  funniest word style
  ever that I said! Hope
  you're into it!"

• Occasionally, some quotes will be used twice.
  • Homsar's "I'm the human wedgie" quote was used twice. Although the two sound bites were identical, the text used in both cases were slightly different. (The first time it was "I'm" whereas the second was "AAAaaaAAh'm").
  • Homestar's "The good times are over!" quote was also used twice, with spelling differences (lower-case letters instead of caps.) However, this probably was an accident or a placeholder, as it was changed the following day.
  • Although it wasn't identical, Bubs had a line as well, "Everybody knows me. Mine name Cornbread.", that is very similar to "I got it-I got everything you wan know. Everybody know me, my name Cornbread."
  • The Homestar Runner's quote had only one difference; there was a colon on March 31, 2005, while ellipses were used on November 30, 2006.
• In Bubs' quote from June 30th, 2005, "Check it out" was said 16 times.
• Strong Bad's quote from June 10th, 2005, was never featured on the site. Instead, it was said in "Where the Crap Are We?", which is an Easter egg in Macromedia Central.
• February 9, 2006's quote calls the feature "Quote of the Day" rather than its typical name "Quote of the Week".
• When using a character head that hasn't been added yet, Homestar's head is used until the appropriate character's head is uploaded. This has happened several times.
• The May 4, 2006 quote spelled the name of Strong Bad's imaginary girlfriend as "Delelilia". However, in senior prom, her name was spelled "Delilelia".
• In the June 29, 2006 quote, "Circle gets the square" is a reference to the game show Hollywood Squares, which is based on tic-tac-toe; the accompanying phrase is "X gets the square." Shadoe Stevens was the announcer for two incarnations of the show (the John Davidson and Tom Bergeron hosted versions), and occupied a square on the Davidson version.
• The November 17, 2006 quote is titled as an "outtake" when played in Windows Media Player. The quote may have originally been an outtake, then added to the toon as an Easter Egg.
• The December 14, 2006 quote mentions "Montelbon", probably a reference to Ricardo Montalbán.
• On December 21, 2006, only the Quote of the Week was updated; the Weekly Fanstuff and Sketchbook were not.
