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]].
