Many times, objects or people are specifically (and often awkwardly) described as real or actual when it's plainly obvious that they are not.
Examples
- Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 6.0 — Strong Bad excessively embellishes the claim that his girlfriend is real.
- Email credit card — The writers of the email "promise that [they] are real and not just trying to steal [Strong Bad's] money".
- Email 50 emails — Homestar Runner posts a fake error message after crashing the Compy 386. The error message's title bar reads "This is real."
- The System is Down, Sbemail 100 fakeout, and Main Page 22 — Similar fake error messages to the above appear with "This is real." in the title bar.
- Email unused emails (Easter egg) — Bubs's spam message insists "THIS IS NOT A JOKE!! THIS IS REAL!!!"
- Email autobiography — Strong Bad specifically notes that the description of his alleged girlfriend was a true part.
- Email technology (Easter egg) — Bubs advertises wireless extensions cords as being "lightweight, existent, and shockproof!"
- Email senior prom — Strong Bad's fake answering machine (an alarm clock with a cassette on top of it) has a sign reading, "an answering machine (trust me)".
- Decemberween Short Shorts — Coach Z tells Homestar Runner that he's having "all kinds of real people over to [his] house for a coupla real people parties".
- Email diorama — Strong Bad's book, a "real book that exists", is allegedly written by "Ronmartin Realdude" (who insists that he is "a living, breathing person, not a cat") and printed by the "Actual Publishing Company". Coach Z talks to "Ronmartin Realdude" via a notepad with a cell phone drawn on it.
- Sickly Sam's Big Outing — The Homestar Runner receives an "honest telegram" from The Sneak.
- Email shapeshifter — When Strong Bad asks Bubs, "How much for that Lamborghini hot tub you got back there?", Bubs answers, "Oh, that Lamborghini hot tub! It sure is back here!"
- Email imaginary — Strong Bad claims that Coach Z had an imaginary friend named "Real Live Actual Mr. Blangcaster Next Door".
- I Killed Pom Pom — Homestar speaks into a fake cell phone made of cardboard, then turns to The King of Town and The Poopsmith and says, "You guys hear that legitimate conversation I was just having? So legitimate."
