Revision as of 13:55, 11 December 2007
With such an expansive bank of cartoons, it would be near impossible for The Brothers Chaps to keep the Homestar Runner universe completely consistent and have total continuity between cartoons. Because of this large size, various inconsistencies occur throughout the website and the DVDs. These are usually very minor. According to the site's FAQ, people often ask The Brothers Chaps about inconsistencies, to these questions they answer that "It was either done on purpose or it's just a cartoon and you probably shouldn't worry about it."
