I hate hushpuppies.

In the Homestar Runner universe, many inanimate objects are treated as characters. Not only are they treated as characters by the main cast, but they also act like characters in that they talk, move, and interact with the cast and the audience. Many of these "pseudocharacters" are Strong Bad's computers. This is evidenced mainly in cliffhangers and retirement.

Strong Bad is not the only one to treat technology as human, however. The members of the Homestarmy consider Frank Benedetto to be a real member, and to have truly died in the Battle of Strong Badia.
