Transcript

{The setting: "www.homestarrunner.com is coming soon! This domain is reserved through thoraxcorp.com". An animated stick figure in a yellow "Under Construction" diamond shovels diligently. Stinko Man appears at the bottom of the screen and leaps into the air, performing an anime fighting pose before landing.}

STINKO MAN: {to stick figure} Hey, stickly man. Whaaaaat are you doing?

{"Stickly Man" stands up, tosses his shovel into the air, leaps out of his diamond, performs a mid-air flip, lands, deftly catches his shovel and assumes a fighting stance.}

STINKO MAN: Correct me if I'm wrong, but are you asking for a challeeeeeeeeenge?! {assumes fighting stance}

{Stickly Man spins his shovel and Stinko Man executes another pose. They dash toward each other and leap simultaneously into the air in slow-motion. Freezeframe of Stinko Man striking Stickly Man. Stickly Man lands on his feet in the background; Stinko Man lands in the foreground in a kneeling stance. After a pause, Stickly Man drops his shovel, wavers a bit, and falls flat on his face. Cut to close-up of Stinko Man.}

{A subtitle which reads Template:". . ." appears.}

STINKO MAN: Dot dot dot.

{Zoom out to whole page.}

STINKO MAN: 20X6! I twenty-exty-sixted you good.

{20X6 Homestar and Pan Pan enter.}

20X6 HOMESTAR: Did we miss a challenge?

STINKO MAN: Where ya been, ladies? I had to take care of Stickly Man myself!

20X6 HOMESTAR: Well, so how was it?

STINKO MAN: Ahh, it was okay. The fighting was decent, but it wasn't much of a challenge. {lays down}

{Pan Pan bounces.}

STINKO MAN: Wha-aa? Good question, Pan Pan. I don't know what he was digging for.

{Stinko leaps into the yellow diamond and tastes the mound that Stickly Man was shoveling.}

STINKO MAN: Hey, this isn't dirt, i-it's pudding!

20X6 HOMESTAR: I want pudding! {A green glob descends from his nose.}

STINKO MAN: We deserve a break. To eat pudding with a spoon! {produces a spoon from nowhere}

{Pan Pan falls from above and crushes 20X6 Homestar.}

Fun Facts

  • Stickly Man is almost certainly a reference to the popular Flash cartoon series Xiao Xiao, in which stick figures kill eachother in elaborately-choreographed fight scenes. See Newgrounds Presents: Xiao Xiao.
  • The entire fight scene is completely pulled from the popular original Nintendo game, Ninja Gaiden, which has an introduction sequence of two ninjas having a duel. The freeze-frame during the jump, the "...", everything! You can check out screen shots of the fight sequence from Ninja Gaiden at Ninja Gaiden Screens.
  • The first listing in the credits reads "Executive Producer H. Yamauchi." Hiroshi Yamauchi was the former president of Nintendo and appeared in the credits as executive producer in many of Nintendo's older games. There are a few other names that are also Nintendo employees, namely S. Miyahon and Ten Ten. These are people who worked on the original Legend of Zelda game. These credits also appeared at the end of japanese cartoon.
  • The "..." part is supposed to be a pause where all that you can hear is heavy breathing. This is from a time when they couldn't dub video games..
  • The three boxes at the bottom of the site contain some pretty funny advertisements. They are of the same quality you'd expect from Thorax Corporation Here they are:

  • At the end, if you click on the back button it will always go back to the 20X6 Main Page.
  • In the credits, "Elevator Action" is a reference to the Taito game of the same name. "Crotchety Gnomes" may be a reference to Zelda II: Adventure of Link, which had a totally inexplicable crotchety gnome guarding the triforce
