Wouldn't you like to ride in my beautiful balloon?

Homestar Runner is upside down and falling through the sky.

Places: The sky

Icon: Clouds

Page title: "What's so great about Homestar Runner?"

Toons — A hot air balloon made in the likeness of Strong Bad's head passes, with Strong Bad riding in it. Strong Bad sings, "Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon?"
Games — A zeppelin on fire passes by.
Characters — Homestar stops falling, with a "SCREECH!" braking noise.
Downloads — The star on his shirt starts to peel off. When you move your cursor away from the button, his star returns to its original position.
Store — He starts falling up.
Email — The Yello Dello flies by.

The Yello Dello is also falling at the same speed as Homestar.
This is the first main page to have Homestar in his regular clothes.
Relative to the clouds, Strong Bad's hot air balloon is actually sinking pretty quickly.

Sometimes when Homestar stops falling, the propeller on his hat is still blurred.
When Strong Bad is singing, his lips aren't moving.
Strong Bad's line gets cut off before he should finish singing, making it sound like he's saying "balloo".
Homestar's propeller is the propeller from his old design.
When the mouse is moved off of Downloads, Homestar's star goes down, and then pops back up for a second.
When Homestar reverses direction, his propeller continues to move in the same cycle. However, it should start spinning in the opposite direction.

The page title "What's so great about Homestar Runner?" may be a reference to the page title of Main Page 1, "What's not to love about Homestar Runner?"

The zeppelin on fire is a reference to the Hindenburg.
"Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon?" is a line from "Up, Up and Away" by the group The Fifth Dimension.
