Within the Homestar Runner body of work, there are a number of references to the long-running educational children's show Sesame Street.
Appearances
- Email lures & jigs — The Fish Show With Strong Bad and Coach Z is a spoof on a skit seen on Sesame Street involving Bert and Ernie called, "Bert and Ernie Go Fishing," in which Ernie gets fish to leap into the boat by calling, "Heeeere fishy fishy fishy!" Bert eventually tries this technique, too, raising his voice louder and louder, until a shark jumps in and says, "You called?"
- Email for kids — This email, which already contains numerous references to PBS shows, contains two references to Sesame Street in particular on Homsar's show, Whaddaya Know, Haddi-Man?:
- The Guitar Playing Man bears a striking resemblance to folk singer James Taylor. Taylor has made numerous appearances on Sesame Street, often singing educational songs.
- The "letter of the day" feature in Homsar's show is reminiscent of Sesame Street, which themes a number of sketches from each show to a specific letter.
- Jibblies 2 — Homsar's Halloween costume is the Noony Noony Noo Typewriter Guy from Sesame Street.
- Homestar Ruiner — After the player collects four trophies for in-game achievements, Strong Bad imitates Count von Count by saying, "Four! Four outrageous trophies! Ah ah ah!"
