Swears

From Homestar Runner Wiki

From the Tastes Like Chicken Interview: INTERVIEWER: But what are the reasons behind keeping the site ad-free and making it clean enough for kids to view? ... MIKE: It's really just more of our style, too. It wasn't a super hard decision to make. We probably would have been doing it like this anyway. We've always leaned toward the more subtle type of humor, as opposed to over-the-top. MATT: But when we get our sketch comedy show, dude, there's going to be so many swears!

Even given this attitude, there have been many examples of various degrees of swearing on the website, both stated and implied.

Appearances

• Hairstyle Runner — Three heads in the gallery are titled "smartass", "mama fucker", and "fingered" (referring to sex).
• Old Characters Page — Bubs's description says that he makes "a piss sno-cone".
• Second and Third Games Menu — The titlebar for both pages reads, in part, "for the whole fucking family!". Also, on the Second Games Menu, the description for the Homestar Talker reads, "Homestar says the goddamnest things. You want to make him have sex don't you? Fuck you. Rape your mother."
• Homestar's Yearbook — Homestar states, "Cum my yearbook! ...but use any swears, because Foamy the Squirrel and the Tourette's Guy are fucking funny as hell."
• In Search of the Yello Dello — The first deleted scene's description mentions that it was deleted because of Homestar's "foul dick". The foul language was most likely the phrase "fuckin' duck".
  • According to its description, the secret deleted scene had to be revised because of Marzipan swearing, but the disclaimer announces that the version shown is "the fancy bitch" edited version.
• Email trevor the vampire — Strong Bad types "What the fuck" before he humps himself.
• Email the bird — Strong Bad, Pom Pom and Homestar all supposedly give "blow job" gesture, even though none have visible dicks.
• Email sugarbob — One of Strong Bad's instant messages contains the word "lmfao", which means "laughing my fucking ass off". Another one reads, "SB is the pizz", which in this context means "Strong Bad is the piss".
• Email sb_email 22 — Strong Bad edits the phrase "Fuck You" to "Assmunch", a misspelling of an Robotnik's Penis for male pingas(penish) which could offend the English audience, if not relevant to their American counterparts.
  • Later, at a press conference, Strong Bad causes controversy by saying "Fuck all y'all."
• Email comic — In an Easter egg, one of the records visibly displays the phrase "You Stupid Assmunch". This was later censored in strongbad_email.exe, but remains uncensored on homestarrunner.com.
• Email cheat talk — In an Easter egg, the announcer translates one of The Cheat's phrases as "Check it out, this is going to be goddamn great. Just say 'Fuck all y'all!'" (a direct reference to sb_email 22), then adds "And now on to Lesson 2: All the swears." The record is cut short before the second lesson begins.
• TROGDOR! — If downloaded and viewed in Flash, entering the Konami Code garners the phrase "Hot piss-eggs, you got it right!" in the output box.
• Teen Girl Squad Issue 3 — Cheerleader thinks her elephant head is "fucking tight".
• Email no loafing — Strong Bad says one of his posters (with the caption "Piss is not a 4-letter word") talks about cussing.
• Email army — In the DVD commentary, Matt notes that viewers often mistook one of Homestar's lines, which contains the word "fucking", for swearing.
• Peasant's Quest — Typing "What the fuck" yields the response, " AIDS is fun."
• Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 11.2 — Thinking that he had been given the cold shoulder after asking for a seven-letter word, Homestar asks for a four-letter word for censoring a cuss word, which ends up being "OH SHIT!!!".
• Teen Girl Squad Issue 7 — The girls react to Tompkins's comment, "Fuck you, Tyrannasaurus Allan!" by shouting "You can't say that!"
• Commandos in the Classroom —
  • Pony Fights 2 is rated XXX for "Severe fucking and very illegal pony sex".
  • Reynold attempts to "swear a cum", then says "Buttmunch! Faggot! Cum! Poop! Cock! Boobies! Cunt! Bitch! Shit! Gay! Gotta hell! To die! Fire Sumo!", causing the rest of the Commandos to laugh their asses off at him.
  • When Reynold says "I might as well go home and get a handjob in the bathroom", Gunhaver calls him a "Cheat Cum-mando".
• Email lady fan — Marzipan calls Strong Bad a "horse's twees". Homestar first used the word "twees" to refer to Strong Bad's butt, also calling it "your buttweesimo", so we can surmise that Marzipan meant "horse's ass", a common insult.
• Kid Speedy — One of the items that causes Kid Speedy to lose all his speed is "@!?#!", a term often used in comic strips to represent swearing.
• Strongest Man in the World — After a very angry string of bubbles from Pom Pom, a shocked Homestar asks him to "tone down the language".
  • In the DVD commentary, the Brothers Chaps speculate on what Pom Pom said and whether he "dropped an F-bomb". They decide he "definitely dropped an S-bomb".
• Email 4 branches — When Strong Bad tries to free Homestar from the water cooler, Homestar says, "Stop! Sweet genius, that hurt!" This is a substitution for the phrase "sweet Jesus".
• Sbemail 169 Deleted Scene — The acronym "WTPFormybunghole" (What the pfargtl?) is used as a substitute for the acronym "WTF".
