== Biography ==
'''The King of Town''' is the ruler de jure of [[Free Country, USA]]. However, nobody wishes to acknowledge this; it's therefore possible that this character is a satire on the obsolescence of monarchy. He is not considered funny or cool by anyone. One of his main problems is that he is a glutton and will eat anything in front of him (aside from [[Peas|peas]] and [[Whatsit|whatsit]], except possibly in [[virus]]). His favorite food is butter. He employs [[The Poopsmith]] and a [[:Category:King's Servants|few other characters]]. His age is known to be somewhere in his 60's. He also leads the K.O.T.H.S. Junior Varsity Marching Band during the [[Fall Float Parade]]. According to a message he left on [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 13.2]], he can play the guitar, and along with [[The Cheat]], he has a cut a remix demo called "Not Talkin' About Butter".

== Character Video Transcript ==
''{'''Page Title''': Go Go Cookie Dough!!}'' ''{'''Place:''' [[King of Town's Castle]]}''

''{The King of Town is standing outside next to his castle. One of his sheep stands behind him.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN''': Hello, my loyal subjects. I am The King of Town. Please remain standing while I finish my speech and consume the contents of this bowl. ''{holds up a bowl momentarily}'' Now, despite rumors to the contrary, I did not just buy a crown at the costume palace and ask people to start calling me The King of Town. I earned my title the same way I earned a free combo meal: by purchasing one of equal or lesser value. I also did not ever try to eat my own moustache. I live in yon castle ''{gives a nod to his castle}'', and employ a Poopsmith for reasons I don't care to disclose. And furthermore, now I'm going to eat this bowl of corn dog batter. ''{picks up a bowl of corn dog batter and begins to eat it}''

== Fun Facts ==
* An [[Old Characters Page]] claimed he was [[Marzipan]]'s father, but [[The Brothers Chaps]] have said they dropped this idea early on. "That was just something that we just toyed around with there briefly, but then decided that’s not the way we wanted it to go. We just put that up, but most people don’t visit the [[Museum]], so hopefully it doesn’t cause too much mass confusion." — [[Matt Chapman]]
* At the end of the clip, the sheep continues chewing, even though [[The VCR|the VCR]] is paused. This is because the sheep was created as a movie clip, which animates independently of the main timeline.
*The King claims he got his title (and a value meal) by purchasing one of equal or ''lesser'' value. This is contrary to most value purchases which give you something free when you purchase a similar item of equal or ''greater'' value.
*According to [[A Decemberween Pageant]], a [[The King of Town (Decemberween)|King of Town]] was involved in the discovery of the first [[Decemberween]]. It is not clear, however, whether that King of Town and the current one are the same individual.
* The King slightly resembles the [[Wikipedia:Mister Rogers' Neighborhood|Mister Rogers' Neighborhood]] character on PBS-TV named "King Friday XIII," who rules the [[Wikipedia:Neighborhood of Make-Believe|Neighborhood of Make-Believe]].
*He was once slim and trim, but according to [[flashback]], he got his weight from the lifetime supply of fishsticks because nobody claimed them.
*Apparently, the King has a ham for a heart, as shown in [[Halloween_Fairstival|Halloween Fairstival]].
*The king is very proud of his 200-Pound bag of Awwww Gratin Potatoes, as seen in [[the bet]].

TV Time Toons Menu

JacoIII — Sun, 30 Apr 2006 03:45:22 GMT

JacoIII: /* Easter Eggs */

{{about|toons menu itself}} {{for|list of all toons|Toons}}

[[Image:toons screenshot.PNG|thumb|300px|The current Toons menu]]

The menu in which all the [[Toons]] are listed on a [[Wikipedia:TV Guide|TV Guide]]-like ("TV time") booklet.

'''Place:''' [[Homestar's House]]

'''Page Title:''' Fun in the Living Room!

==Easter Eggs==

*By placing the mouse over the tape "[[Joy of Painting]]" you will see a small clip of Marzipan dolled up as [[Wikipedia:Bob Ross|Bob Ross]] painting with a palette knife.
*Clicking on the top left corner of the T.V. Time will close it and show one of four different covers.
**'''Cover 1'''
***Picture -- The entire Homestar Runner cast (except [[Homsar]])
***Title -- [[Homestar Runner]] and Company: Eating [[Pie]] and Getting [[Glossary#D|Doppy]]
**'''Cover 2'''
***Picture -- [[Homestar Runner]]
***Title -- Homestar Runner: Ummm ... Seriously
**'''Cover 3'''
***Picture -- [[Strong Bad]]
***Title -- Strong Bad: The Last Great Guy?
**'''Cover 4'''
***Picture -- [[Strong Mad]] hugging [[The Cheat]]
***Title -- Strong Mad & The Cheat: The Next Bosom Buddies?
*By placing the mouse over "Strong Bad Email" and holding it there for a short while, you will see Strong Bad sitting at [[Tandy 400|the Tandy]] soundlessly checking his email, receiving the following message:
<blockquote class="tandy email">Dear Strong Bad, 
I drank too much salty plum soda. 
 
 
-Stu</blockquote>
to which Strong Bad replies "No such thing, Stu. No such thing."

==Fun Facts==

===Trivia===

*The toons menu layout changed on June 22, 2004, and divided all the toons into eight categories. You can see the old version [http://www.homestarrunner.kitkorp.com/toons-pre-new-remote.html here]. It displayed [[Strong Bad Email]], [[Marzipan's Answering Machine]], and [[Teen Girl Squad]] in a section called [[Features]]. [[Powered by The Cheat]] and [[Puppet Stuff]] were listed under Shorts.
*Pressing the Back button will always take you to [[Main Page 4]].
*[[Homestar Runner]]'s TV is called [[TeeBee]].
*During the sample of [[The Reddest Radish]] on the TV, [[Strong Bad]] jumps and spins. He does not do this in the actual toon.
**Likewise, during the sample of [[Kick the Can]], [[The Homestar Runner]]'s body sinks into his legs and his head sinks into his body. Then his head and legs sprout out of the can. This also does not happen in the toon.

===Goofs===

*During all of Puppet Jam previews, a little bit of the "white noise" can be seen underneath the clapperboard.

===Glitches===

*Sometimes, on older computers, when clicking "toons, shorts or holiday" it does not open the TV guide, so you can still click on the cover to open it. All it shows is a blank page with the title "Dennis" on it.
**"Dennis" is a reference to [[Thy Dungeonman]].

The '''Stop Sign''' proclaims the population of [[Strong Badia]] to all who look at it. It is currently held up by the [[Cinderblock]], but according to the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[2 years]], the two would go their separate ways by September 2005. So far, this has not come to pass.

As revealed in the Strong Bad Email [[monument]], a grand statue of [[Strong Bad]] was to be constructed with the Stop Sign and Cinderblock as part of the right foot. In the email, Strong Bad says, "It's got all the rightness of a foot, without all the footdom of a right." The left foot would be represented by a cinderblock holding up some other sign reading "NO WAY!".

Stoppy the Sign is one of the [[Mount RidesPlace USA Mascots]].

'''Current Population''': [[Tire]]

'''Predicted Population in September of 2005''': [[Tire]], a Bundt Cake Pan, and [[Coach Z]]

Kick the Can

'''Kick the Can''' is a series of [[Old-Timey]] toons in which The Homestar Runner kicks his [[Can of Water Soup|soup can]] along the ground, with strange results. Each of the 15 different versions of this cartoon has a different ending.

According to the DVD Commentary, these toons were created shortly after the website was put up in early 2000. [[Mike Chapman]] claimed that a few of the short toons were created approximately a year later after an initial ten were created.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' {{Film|The Homestar Runner}}, {{Film|Old-Timey Strong Bad}}

'''Places:''' [[The Old Movie Reel Room]], [[The Field]] (Old-Timey)

'''Date:''' 2000 ([[1936]])

'''Running Time:''' 0:22 (each) / 5:30 (total)

'''Page Title:''' old

== Transcript ==
For each stack of film reels, number 1 is the reel on top of the stack, 2 is the one below it, and so on and so forth.

The song "The Entertainer" plays throughout each of the toons, unless you're watching the [[#DVD Version|DVD version]]. Each one starts out the same way, with the exception of [[#Kick_that_Can|Kick that Can]]. There's a countdown and then a title screen that reads:

''The Homestar Runner''
''In''
''A "Cartoon" for Kids''

'' 'Kick the Can' ''
''copyright 1933''
''Free Country USA''

Then the cartoon starts, with The Homestar Runner kicking a soup can along the ground. Then he stops...and what happens from there depends on which film reel you clicked.

===Left Stack===
#His head pops off, and he kicks the can up into his body. His head comes back down and squashes his body so that he's just his head and legs. He kicks his legs about frantically.
#His head pops off, and he kicks the can up into his body. His head comes back down and disappears into his body, and a big can pops up in where his head should be.
#Same as before with the head, only it lands on his body and then he shoots fire from his mouth.
#Same deal with his head. It lands on his body, and then his legs bend backwards.
#He kicks the can into the chimney of a nearby factory. He runs into and through the factory, and then pops up outside with the can in his mouth.

===Stack of 2===
#He gets hit in the back of the head with a cinder block, falling down with his head propped up on the can. He catches the block on his foot and then falls asleep.
#A huge can comes up from behind and kicks Homestar away.

===Tall Stack (Back Right)===
#His head hinges backwards, and he kicks the can up into his body again. His body then swings upwards and reattaches to his head, and he flies offscreen.
#He kicks the can and it bounces all around the screen, landing in his mouth. The star on his shirt burns away and is replaced with "herbert hoover?"
#Old-Timey Strong Bad pops out of the can, and then his head disappears. The Homestar Runner jumps into the can, which Strong Bad puts in place of his head.
#He stands atop the can on one foot. Then, at the very end, his body starts spinning around like a pinwheel.
#This one is titled "Kick that Can." The can spins around on the ground after Homestar stops. He looks down at it, and then a pile of bricks falls on him. The can pops out and continues spinning.

===Short Stack (Front Right)===
#His head pops off and he kicks the can up into his body again. When his head comes back down, the can pops out his rear end. He looks at it and runs away.
#Again with his head popping off. It lands upside down, and a face appears on his neck and says "gosh!"
#He kicks the can into his mouth. His body unhinges from his head and a bunch of cans fall out. His body reattaches, and then rockets away.

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
* The dates in the "Old-Timey" era predate the current year by 67 years. These toons were made in 2000, hence the [[1933]] dating.
*If you view the [[HR:menuswfs/menu_old.swf|preview]] for Kick the Can on the [[Toons Menu]], The Homestar Runner's body sinks into his legs and his head sinks into his body. Then his head and legs sprout out of the can.

===Remarks===
*The very bottom reel in the Tall Stack is not clickable.

===Goofs===
*Short Stack is partially underneath the last clickable reel in the Tall Stack.
*None of the cartoons in the tall stack have the Old-Timey visual scratch effect applied.

===Real-World References===
*Tall Stack, Reel Two ends with "herbert hoover?" (sic) on The Homestar Runner's shirt. [[Wikipedia:Herbert Hoover|Herbert Clark Hoover]] was the 31st president of the United States from 1929 to 1933.
*Stack of Two, Reel One (falls asleep) shows Homestar getting hit in the head with a brick and then falling asleep. This is a reference to the old comic [[Wikipedia:Krazy Kat|"Krazy Kat,"]] in which Ignatz the Mouse was always clobbering Krazy Kat upside the head with bricks.
*The music is [http://www.mutopiaproject.org/cgibin/piece-info.cgi?id=263 "The Entertainer"], written by [[Wikipedia:Scott Joplin|Scott Joplin]] in 1902.

===Fast-Forward===
*On the advice of [[Pom Pom]], present-day Homestar kicks a can to make himself feel better in [[The Reddest Radish]].
*In [[20X6 vs. 1936]], when The Homestar Runner walks in, he's kicking the can. [[Stinkoman]] acknowledges this by questioning what the can is.
*The can is from Bubs' picture in the [[Yearbook Character Page]].

== DVD Version ==
*The music is an edited version of the music heard in [[Parsnips A-Plenty]] instead of ''The Entertainer''.
*All of the versions of the cartoon play one after another.
*The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

===Commentary Transcript===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Mike Chapman]], [[The Homestar Runner]], [[Old-Timey Strong Bad]], [[Sickly Sam]], [[Old-Timey Bubs]], and [[Matt Chapman]])

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Hey!

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Why hello.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Old-Timey Homestar, my favorite!

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' It is. Am I your flavorite, Mike?

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Yeah. Uh, so tell me about um, how old you were when you filmed these 72 years ago.

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, I was getting on in years.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Yeah. So what about now?

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' My— my friend of years, my friend of tears.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' ''{laughs}'' So we're just going to watch all these "Kick the Can" toons run back to back. We'll have to watch this little countdown every time and the title sequence.

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's fantastic.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' That's gonna be fun. That's gonna be the majority of this... is just us watching the title and countdown.

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay Mike, whatever you say.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Let's see what happens here!

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I lost my marbles.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Can you still breathe fire there?

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Makes a "froosh" sound, imitating fire}''

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Ooh! Oh! It's hot in here!

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, don't—

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' You just burned the microphone!

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Don't get me goin'! I'll rattle you down!

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' ''{laughs}'' Um, so I don't really know what else to talk about with you, Old-Timey Homestar, so I'm just gonna start asking you questions about your family.

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay then.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Uh, tell me about your sister.

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No..?

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' ''{laughs}'' Uh, all right. ''{counting with the countdown}'' 5, 4, 3, 2. Okay.

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All these am-in-ations was filmed in the factory/circus district.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' ''{laughs}'' That's all there is there, huh?

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Back in those days that's all we had.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' What happens here? Oh. ''{barks}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I call that the Shamanga Shimmy.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' ''{laughs}'' So these— These were done in two batches. I think there were maybe nine of them done and then probably— maybe a year later, I made another batch.

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I once knew a hobo called Two Batches.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' ''{laughs}'' Yeah?

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yes.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' What happened— What ever became of him?

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' He got run o'er by a train.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Run o'er? Doesn't that— ''{laughing}'' That seems like a little bit further back, uh talking than— uh, than you would normally be.

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well—

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Like maybe from the 1700s instead of the 1930s?

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Sometimes I—

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Oooh!

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, monster sup.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' ''{laughs}'' I wonder how many more of these things we've got, Old-Timey Homestar.

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I sure hope it ends soon, Mike.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' ''{laughs}'' Yeah, the idea was that uh, listening to this commentary might make this more fun to watch than, you know, just having to sit there and listen to this stupid song over and over again.

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I think it's a horrible failure.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' ''{laughs}'' Yeah, I don't think we're cuttin' it. You and I's chemistry isn't quite what I thought it would be.

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Maybe I can remedy the situation!

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Oh, great.

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Yes!

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Old-Timey Strong Bad.

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Yes, you storefellow!

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' ''{laughs}'' Storefellow. Well, all right, I think you appear—

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Why am I not in one of these cra-toons!

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' I thought you did appear in one, but maybe, maybe not.

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' You lie! You are lying!

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' ''{laughs}'' Is that— Uh, is that your factory?

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' That's my factory and my circus, my circus tent!

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' What kind of acts preformed in the circus?

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' We had nothing but freaks!

''{Mike laughs}''

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' All sort of two-legged ''{laughs, voice becomes more like Matt's for a moment}'' women!

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' ''{laughs}'' Two-legged women. Those are—

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Yes!

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' —quite an oddity.

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Yes! And a ''{laughs}'' bearded fellow!

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' ''{laughs}'' Wow, that's uh... gosh!

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' ''{laughing}'' He was in the freak show too!

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' I wonder how many more we got.

'''SICKLY SAM:''' I hope you shoot me in the face.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Sickly Sam. Matt! Please just come— come out of hiding! I need— I need help. I'm struggling. I'm drowning here doing these "Kick the Can" commentaries.

'''OLD-TIMEY BUBS:''' Maybe I can help! ''{Makes the sound when Sickly Sam disappears in a puff of smoke.}''

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Disappear.

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Oh boy, Mike.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' How many— This could be it. Maybe it's over. ''{The countdown begins again.}'' Uh, no, forgot.

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' It's not over.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' At least one more. Got at least one more. Uh, maybe one of them— Yeah, this is the one that's called "Kick ''that'' Can."

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Instead of "Kick the Can."

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' This was— Uh, they did some test marketing and "Kick the Can" just wasn't going over well with kids so they crushed Homestar Runner with bricks.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Maybe it's over. Maybe it's over. ''{groans as countdown begins again}''

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' 5, 4, 3, 2, ''1'', Mike!

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' There's one where it says something about Herbert Hoover. ''{laughs}'' I haven't been watching. So...

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' I haven't watched a single one so I don't know if that happened yet. Let's see. He stands on it.

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Oh!

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' He spins!

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' No he doesn't.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Yeah he does. ''{as The Homestar Runner begins to spin on top of the can}'' Ah! He spins.

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' I forgot. He showed some serious poise in that.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' All right, I think this is Herbert Hoover. I think this is gonna be— See ya Willy.

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Willy's taking off you guys.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Willy's leaving. Um...

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Come on, Herbert Hoover. Where you at?

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' So these were pretty early though.

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Yeah, we made these very early.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Within the first—

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' ''{As Old-Timey Strong Bad appears}'' Oh! We were all wrong!

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' What— Where is he now?

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' What happened to my website?!

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' I think—

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' I'm trying to wind down at the end of each one in case it's the last one. We have no idea how many we made.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' I think these were done within the first... month or so of the website.

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Yeah, we— we quickly latched on making a fake, uh, mythology behind our cartoons.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' There's "herbert hoover". This has got to be the last one. Bye guys!

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' ''{makes Sickly Sam's "disappearing" noise}''

''{both groan as the countdown begins again}''

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' I was trying to end it with the "pah". ''{makes noise again}'' Um...

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' So the "'cartoon' for 'kids'" in quotes, you know, misused quotes.

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' ''{hastily}'' Oh! There was a— Crap! There's some moving company or something and it says "We're glad you called" and "glad you called" was in quotes. ''{makes Sickly Sam's "disappearing" noise, gets cut off}''

Fourth Wall Breaks

JacoIII — Sat, 29 Apr 2006 22:32:37 GMT

JacoIII: /* Strong Bad Emails */

[[Image:fourthwalling.png|thumb|Good morning, reality!]]

Sometimes, the [[Characters|characters]] "'''break the [[Wikipedia:Fourth wall|fourth wall]]'''" by displaying awareness that they are in an Internet cartoon.

Fourth wall breakages are common in [[Strong Bad Email]]s; Strong Bad often addresses the viewers, and references to his "email show" are made. Excluding Strong Bad Emails that involve a character addressing the viewers, here is a list of fourth wall breakages in the toons.

Addressing the viewer, however, isn't neccesarily breaking the fourth wall. Strong Bad may believe that he has a [[Wikipedia:webcam|webcam]] that follows him around during the email show. Just because the characters realize they are being shown on a website doesn't mean they are breaking the fourth wall. A fictional character speaking into a fictional camera to a future audience hasn't necessarily broken the fourth wall. If they were to refer to being in a cartoon or to refer to being cartoon characters, '''''that''''' would be breaking the fourth wall. This is because the fictional character Strong Bad may be actually talking to a fictional audience that only exists in his mind. But this theory may be wrong because Strong Bad often addresses viewers in "sbemail" and never replies (send_email.exe). Also, go back to the first email: Strong Bad SAYS not TYPES "and send me some good ones next time".

== Fourth Wall Breakages ==

=== Big Toons ===

*[[Where's The Cheat?]]: While reassuring Strong Mad, Strong Bad says "Don't worry, big guy. We'll cut to a montage."
*[[In Search of the Yello Dello]] and [[The King of Town DVD]]: Characters doing commentaries and being in previews for the toons that are DVDs show that they know it was a cartoon. Strong Bad even calls one of the toons a cartoon several times.
*[[In Search of the Yello Dello]]: The TV announcer says that [[The Yello Dello|the Yello Dello]] is "the most rare and exotic bird in this entire cartoon."

=== Shorts ===

*[[Cheat Commandos]]: There are many breakages, such as [[Gunhaver]] saying "Buy all our playsets and toys," "Next episode, Blue Laser," and "Into the action figure storage vehicle!"
*[[The System is Down]]: Here are references to both the [[Error Page]] and [[Homestar Runner (Flash cartoon)|Homestarrunner.com]] being down.

=== Holiday Toons ===

*[[More Fan Costumes]]: Strong Bad comments that [[Coach Z]], [[King of Town]] and [[Marzipan]] are the least popular ''Homestar Runner'' characters.
*[[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]]: Throughout the cold open, Homestar directly addresses the viewer. When he comes upon [[Homsar]], he remarks "Oh, great. The secret guy" and then comments on the choices that Homsar "gives" him. Then when he reaches the [[Cliffs#Creepy Cliff|Creepy Cliff]], he refers to it as a "cool new background." Finally, in the [[The Goblin|Goblin]] ending, Marzipan declares the end of the scene.
*[[Homestar Presents: Presents]]: Strong Bad informs the viewers that Homestar runs around frantically from [[Decemberween]] to New Year's, then, in the Easter egg, there is a poster on the wall that reads, "Left Out Characters' Support Group & Buffet."
*[[3 Times Halloween Funjob]]: When [[Bubs]] shows frustration that Coach Z mangles his words yet again, Coach Z replies that "It's a crowd-pleaser."
*[[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]]: During the end discussion, Homestar comments first whether the viewers have voted yet (a feature for that year's toon), and then requests that the characters repeat stuff they have already said to freak "them" out, indicating that the characters know they are being watched.

=== Strong Bad Emails ===

*[[candy product]]: Strong Bad says he'll have a candy product "by the end of this email".
*[[narrator]]: Strong Bad said that Strong Sad had made corrections in three emails in a row, the first two being [[secret identity]] and [[technology]]
*[[highschool]]: Strong Bad says that he was "probably just like other cartoons" in his high school days.
*[[bottom 10]]: After the end of the email, Strong Bad acknowledges that there are no Easter eggs at the end.
*[[part-time job]]: Strong Bad peeks around the edge of the black on his way to [[Bubs' Concession Stand|Bubs']].
*[[animal]]: Strong Bad says that a man with a laptop computer comes "from the right side of the screen."
*[[virus]]: [[The Virus]] opens most of the characters' minds to realize that they are in a cartoon.
*[[old comics]]: Strong Bad says he and Homestar were used in a comic that was printed at least 60 years ago. Since they are obviously not that old, he is pointing out the fact that he and Homestar are unaging cartoon characters.
*[[dangeresque 3]]: Strong Bad asks the audience to resist the urge to throw full wine bottles at the screen.
*[[flashback]]: The size of the display area is purposefully extended and Homestar Runner is "behind the black." Also, at the end, Perry from [[Limozeen]] points out to Larry that their band's name is at "The Top Of The Screen". However, [[Limozeen]] is not a cartoon (in this instance) so it may just be a reference to Larry's ability to not know what's going on.
*[[monument]]: Homestar peeks out from behind the black as he sings "Here comes the Thnikkaman!".
*[[video games]]: Strong Bad turns and yells directly at the camera saying "Cus' you can't control me!"
*[[couch patch]]: Strong Bad points out that the couch patch is visible in Homestar's flashback, and Homestar says he got confused about the title of the e-mail.
*[[the process]]: Strong Bad spends the whole cartoon explaining how his other emails were/would be done.
*[[huttah!]]: [[The Cheat]] actually watches the email on his own computer.
*[[island]]: When Yami Yugi asks what Strong Bad would do if he were stuck on a desert island, Strong Bad nonchalantly replies, "I suspect it would be like most cartoons". Later, [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]] imitates [[Main Page 3]], with similar effects.
*[[your friends]]: Strong Bad states that he's giving the fans what they want.
*[[little animal]]: Strong Bad talks about the people watching the e-mail at home.
*[[stand-up]]: Strong Sad tells you to come with him.

=== Not Quite Strong Bad Emails ===
*[[Not the 100th Email!!!]]: References to the 404 page and the user poking around the site.
*[[Sbemail 150?!?]]: Strong Sad has prepared storyboards to help Strong Bad with the email.

=== Special Toons ===

*[[First Time Here?]]: Sets the stage for fourth wall breakages, especially when Strong Bad shows up to let you know why you're here.
=== Marzipan's Answering Machine ===

*[[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 8.0]]: Homestar says "This is Homestar Runner from Homestarrunner.com".

=== Games ===

*[[Thy Dungeonman 3]]: If you talk to some of the characters, they mention stuff that happened "screens" ago.
*[[Stinkoman 20X6]]: When [[1-Up]] requests Stinkoman's help, Stinkoman says that he already helped him in Level 4. At the beginning of Level 6, Stinkoman appears to be playing his own game. At the beginning of Level -0, Stinkoman addresses the player while he's stuck inside the wall. Also, at the end of Level -0, Stinkoman says he has to get through Level 9 and Level 10 to get to 1-Up and [[Pan Pan]]. Then, at the opening cinematic of level 9, the [[Shadowy Figure]] says "So he thinks he can get to level 10, eh?"
*[[Peasant's Quest]]: If you talk to the [[Dongolev|second]] "[[Unusual Greetings#Haldo|Haldo]]" brother and say "Haldo" without talking to the [[Mendelev|first one]] (the one at the booth), he will say, "What'd you read that in PQ Stragedy [''sic''] Guide? Go talk to my brother first." On a related note, if you type "throw baby" before you actually ''get'' the baby, the game will say that you must have "misread the walkthrough on [[Wikipedia:GameFAQs|GameFAQS]]." Also, if you type "get broom" in Naked Ned's house, the game will say "No no. The broom is in the foreground and you can't take things in the foreground. You don't see me all typing "get browser window", do you?"

=== Character Pages ===

*[[Strong Sad]]: On Strong Sad's character page, he complains about making a "character page", and later runs his finger down the left side of the screen.

===DVDs===
*[[strongbad_email.exe]] (all discs): Homestar walks by an FBI warning. Strong Mad asks if you said Bonus Stuff. Also, Strong Bad says your time is up on Bonus Stuff.
*[[strongbad_email.exe Disc One]]: Strong Bad says his mouth tastes like DVDs. When he sits down, he tells [[The Paper]] to show these morons what to do. Then, The Paper will tell you to make up your choice.
*[[strongbad_email.exe Disc Three]]: Homestar and Strong Bad wait for you to come back; Strong Bad askes where you are, Homestar suggests that perhaps you are making a sandwich, and Strong Bad orders you to bring them some cold ones.
*[[strongbad_email.exe Disc Four]]: The [[Female Lappy 486]] asks Strong Bad what's taking them so long.
*[[Everything Else, Volume 1]]: Strong Bad says there are no emails on the DVD. Homestar tells you to make up your choice.

===Other===
*[[Podstar Runner]] (emails only): Strong Bad asks "what am I doing in this tiny box?" and shatters the screen trying to get out.
*[[Store]]: Most of the [[Store Thank You Messages|thank you messages]] break the fourth wall, especially [[Store Thank You Messages#Back Door Message|the "bonus" message]].

Fourth wall breakages are common in [[Strong Bad Email]]s; Strong Bad often addresses the viewers, and references to his "email show" are made. Excluding Strong Bad Emails that involve a character addressing the viewers, here is a list of fourth wall breakages in the toons.

Addressing the viewer, however, isn't neccesarily breaking the fourth wall. Strong Bad may believe that he has a [[Wikipedia:webcam|webcam]] that follows him around during the email show. Just because the characters realize they are being shown on a website doesn't mean they are breaking the fourth wall. A fictional character speaking into a fictional camera to a future audience hasn't necessarily broken the fourth wall. If they were to refer to being in a cartoon or to refer to being cartoon characters, '''''that''''' would be breaking the fourth wall. This is because the fictional character Strong Bad may be actually talking to a fictional audience that only exists in his mind. But this theory may be wrong because Strong Bad often addresses viewers in "sbemail" and never replies (send_email.exe). Also, go back to the first email: Strong Bad SAYS not TYPES "and send me some good ones next time".

== Fourth Wall Breakages ==

=== Big Toons ===

*[[Where's The Cheat?]]: While reassuring Strong Mad, Strong Bad says "Don't worry, big guy. We'll cut to a montage."
*[[In Search of the Yello Dello]] and [[The King of Town DVD]]: Characters doing commentaries and being in previews for the toons that are DVDs show that they know it was a cartoon. Strong Bad even calls one of the toons a cartoon several times.
*[[In Search of the Yello Dello]]: The TV announcer says that [[The Yello Dello|the Yello Dello]] is "the most rare and exotic bird in this entire cartoon."

=== Shorts ===

*[[Cheat Commandos]]: There are many breakages, such as [[Gunhaver]] saying "Buy all our playsets and toys," "Next episode, Blue Laser," and "Into the action figure storage vehicle!"
*[[The System is Down]]: Here are references to both the [[Error Page]] and [[Homestar Runner (Flash cartoon)|Homestarrunner.com]] being down.

=== Holiday Toons ===

*[[More Fan Costumes]]: Strong Bad comments that [[Coach Z]], [[King of Town]] and [[Marzipan]] are the least popular ''Homestar Runner'' characters.
*[[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]]: Throughout the cold open, Homestar directly addresses the viewer. When he comes upon [[Homsar]], he remarks "Oh, great. The secret guy" and then comments on the choices that Homsar "gives" him. Then when he reaches the [[Cliffs#Creepy Cliff|Creepy Cliff]], he refers to it as a "cool new background." Finally, in the [[The Goblin|Goblin]] ending, Marzipan declares the end of the scene.
*[[Homestar Presents: Presents]]: Strong Bad informs the viewers that Homestar runs around frantically from [[Decemberween]] to New Year's, then, in the Easter egg, there is a poster on the wall that reads, "Left Out Characters' Support Group & Buffet."
*[[3 Times Halloween Funjob]]: When [[Bubs]] shows frustration that Coach Z mangles his words yet again, Coach Z replies that "It's a crowd-pleaser."
*[[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]]: During the end discussion, Homestar comments first whether the viewers have voted yet (a feature for that year's toon), and then requests that the characters repeat stuff they have already said to freak "them" out, indicating that the characters know they are being watched.

=== Strong Bad Emails ===

*[[candy product]]: Strong Bad says he'll have a candy product "by the end of this email".
*[[narrator]]: Strong Bad said that Strong Sad had made corrections in three emails in a row, the first two being [[secret identity]] and [[technology]]
*[[highschool]]: Strong Bad says that he was "probably just like other cartoons" in his high school days.
*[[bottom 10]]: After the end of the email, Strong Bad acknowledges that there are no Easter eggs at the end.
*[[part-time job]]: Strong Bad peeks around the edge of the black on his way to [[Bubs' Concession Stand|Bubs']].
*[[animal]]: Strong Bad says that a man with a laptop computer comes "from the right side of the screen."
*[[virus]]: [[The Virus]] opens most of the characters' minds to realize that they are in a cartoon.
*[[old comics]]: Strong Bad says he and Homestar were used in a comic that was printed at least 60 years ago. Since they are obviously not that old, he is pointing out the fact that he and Homestar are unaging cartoon characters.
*[[dangeresque 3]]: Strong Bad asks the audience to resist the urge to throw full wine bottles at the screen.
*[[flashback]]: The size of the display area is purposefully extended and Homestar Runner is "behind the black." Also, at the end, Perry from [[Limozeen]] points out that their band's name is at "The Top Of The Screen". However, [[Limozeen]] is not a cartoon (in this instance) so it may just be a reference to Larry's ability to not know what's going on.
*[[monument]]: Homestar peeks out from behind the black as he sings "Here comes the Thnikkaman!".
*[[video games]]: Strong Bad turns and yells directly at the camera saying "Cus' you can't control me!"
*[[couch patch]]: Strong Bad points out that the couch patch is visible in Homestar's flashback, and Homestar says he got confused about the title of the e-mail.
*[[the process]]: Strong Bad spends the whole cartoon explaining how his other emails were/would be done.
*[[huttah!]]: [[The Cheat]] actually watches the email on his own computer.
*[[island]]: When Yami Yugi asks what Strong Bad would do if he were stuck on a desert island, Strong Bad nonchalantly replies, "I suspect it would be like most cartoons". Later, [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]] imitates [[Main Page 3]], with similar effects.
*[[your friends]]: Strong Bad states that he's giving the fans what they want.
*[[little animal]]: Strong Bad talks about the people watching the e-mail at home.
*[[stand-up]]: Strong Sad tells you to come with him.

=== Not Quite Strong Bad Emails ===
*[[Not the 100th Email!!!]]: References to the 404 page and the user poking around the site.
*[[Sbemail 150?!?]]: Strong Sad has prepared storyboards to help Strong Bad with the email.

=== Special Toons ===

*[[First Time Here?]]: Sets the stage for fourth wall breakages, especially when Strong Bad shows up to let you know why you're here.
=== Marzipan's Answering Machine ===

*[[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 8.0]]: Homestar says "This is Homestar Runner from Homestarrunner.com".

=== Games ===

*[[Thy Dungeonman 3]]: If you talk to some of the characters, they mention stuff that happened "screens" ago.
*[[Stinkoman 20X6]]: When [[1-Up]] requests Stinkoman's help, Stinkoman says that he already helped him in Level 4. At the beginning of Level 6, Stinkoman appears to be playing his own game. At the beginning of Level -0, Stinkoman addresses the player while he's stuck inside the wall. Also, at the end of Level -0, Stinkoman says he has to get through Level 9 and Level 10 to get to 1-Up and [[Pan Pan]]. Then, at the opening cinematic of level 9, the [[Shadowy Figure]] says "So he thinks he can get to level 10, eh?"
*[[Peasant's Quest]]: If you talk to the [[Dongolev|second]] "[[Unusual Greetings#Haldo|Haldo]]" brother and say "Haldo" without talking to the [[Mendelev|first one]] (the one at the booth), he will say, "What'd you read that in PQ Stragedy [''sic''] Guide? Go talk to my brother first." On a related note, if you type "throw baby" before you actually ''get'' the baby, the game will say that you must have "misread the walkthrough on [[Wikipedia:GameFAQs|GameFAQS]]." Also, if you type "get broom" in Naked Ned's house, the game will say "No no. The broom is in the foreground and you can't take things in the foreground. You don't see me all typing "get browser window", do you?"

=== Character Pages ===

*[[Strong Sad]]: On Strong Sad's character page, he complains about making a "character page", and later runs his finger down the left side of the screen.

===DVDs===
*[[strongbad_email.exe]] (all discs): Homestar walks by an FBI warning. Strong Mad asks if you said Bonus Stuff. Also, Strong Bad says your time is up on Bonus Stuff.
*[[strongbad_email.exe Disc One]]: Strong Bad says his mouth tastes like DVDs. When he sits down, he tells [[The Paper]] to show these morons what to do. Then, The Paper will tell you to make up your choice.
*[[strongbad_email.exe Disc Three]]: Homestar and Strong Bad wait for you to come back; Strong Bad askes where you are, Homestar suggests that perhaps you are making a sandwich, and Strong Bad orders you to bring them some cold ones.
*[[strongbad_email.exe Disc Four]]: The [[Female Lappy 486]] asks Strong Bad what's taking them so long.
*[[Everything Else, Volume 1]]: Strong Bad says there are no emails on the DVD. Homestar tells you to make up your choice.

===Other===
*[[Podstar Runner]] (emails only): Strong Bad asks "what am I doing in this tiny box?" and shatters the screen trying to get out.
*[[Store]]: Most of the [[Store Thank You Messages|thank you messages]] break the fourth wall, especially [[Store Thank You Messages#Back Door Message|the "bonus" message]].

The Sneak

with a rodent-like physique."]]

'''The Sneak''' (aka "[[The Dapper Swindler]]") is the [[Old-Timey]] version of [[The Cheat]]. The Sneak looks like an [[Wikipedia:Didelphimorphia|opossum]], and since he is always silent he communicates by waving his nose. He's the [[Strong Man|Strong Man's]] greatest pal, who also loves to cause catastrophe with the [[Old-Timey Strong Bad]]. He likes to do the hully-gully both on the [[Wikipedia:Panama Canal|Panama Canal]] and a barrel that is not the Panama Canal. [[DaVinci's Notebook]] wrote a song for him, called the [[Ballad of The Sneak]], that was made into a cartoon of the same name. The lyrics in that song tell us that The Sneak is in fact yellow in color (just like his present day double), despite the black and white nature of the Old-Timey cartoons. Oddly enough, he is only known as The Sneak in Canada (or rather the Northwest Territories) as shown on his wanted poster.

== Biography ==
[[Image:modernthecheat.gif|thumb|Yeah, he's The Cheat.]] [[Image:thecheat physiology.png|thumb|Yet another biological mystery]] [[Image:Cheatdrums.jpg|thumb|Break it down]]'''The Cheat''', whose name is actually "The Cheat", with an [[Integral Article|integral article]], is at knee-height (1' 2" ''et'' 18lb.), and covered with yellow fuzz. The Cheat presents an adorable figure that is marred only by his large [[The Cheat's Gold Tooth|gold tooth]], which he is hesitant to show, as seen in his interview. He speaks entirely in a language of high-pitched squeaks and growls, which is actually called "The Cheat", that other characters apparently understand just fine. According to his [[Yearbook Character Page]], his motto is "No rule is solid". He is what you could call [[Strong Bad|Strong Bad's]] "sidekick" and [[Strong Mad|Strong Mad's]] best friend.

The Cheat is loyal to Strong Bad for many reasons. In [[privileges]], The Cheat earns points for doing things that amuse Strong Bad, and when he gets enough points, he earns extra privileges (e.g. use of the mute button on the remote control). Strong Bad pays The Cheat for his services; in [[lackey]], he reveals that The Cheat thinks that pencil shavings are legal tender, only for The Cheat to trick [[Bubs]] into accepting the shavings as cash. Strong Bad coerces and bullies The Cheat into being his lackey to a certain extent, and the two share a somewhat abusive relationship, particularly since Strong Bad is fond of [[Kicking The Cheat|kicking him]]. It's possible that Strong Bad's bullying has given The Cheat an almost murderous hatred at times (as seen near the end of the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[disconnected]]). Finally, The Cheat sees Strong Bad's brother Strong Mad as a source of protection, as seen in The Cheat's character video. While The Cheat is more than willing to help Strong Bad in his schemes of obvious illegitimacy, it must be noted that he isn't very good at it. Whenever he and Strong Bad try to pull off a heist, prank, etc., The Cheat usually screws something up and thus causes the plan to fail. A few examples of this are in [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]], [[A Jumping Jack Contest]] (he is discovered behind a Strong Bad mask), and [[caper]].

The Cheat is an amateur Flash animator in his spare time, creating [[Powered by The Cheat]] cartoons and music videos on his orange iMac computer, [[Tangerine Dreams]]. These animations sometimes make their way into [[Strong Bad Email]]s, often even blurring "reality" with The Cheat's fantasy. He's also a master of many instruments; he plays the piano and [[The Cheat's keyboard|keyboard]] (from [[Everybody Knows It]], [[sibbie]], and [[Strong Bad Sings]], and referenced in [[guitar]]), the drums (in the toon [[Cool Things]]), and his [[The Cheat's Record Player|record player]]. He also is a music producer, doing remixes for The Geddup Noise ([[geddup noise]]) and the King of Town's New Jam, "Not Talkin' 'bout Butter" ([[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 13.2]]) under the name "DJ Teh Cheat." His less admirable qualities include being [[Smoking#The Cheat's Smoking|addicted to cigarettes]], and extensive use of [[Internet Slang|Leetspeak]] on the computer. His [[Characters' Contacts|AIM screenname]] is ''Cheatachu72''.

The Cheat lives in the [[The King of Town]]'s grill which, according to [[Strong Sad]], is a nice place. The Cheat works at an unspecified tech company with [[Homestar Runner]] and Strong Bad, probably tech support. Strong Bad's retelling of how he met The Cheat in [[flashback]] professes that he hatched from a giant [[Eggs|egg]] (possibly making him a [[Wikipedia:Monotreme|monotreme]], an egg-laying [[Wikipedia:Mammal|mammal]]) containing a lifetime supply of fishsticks, though it's not clear if it can be taken as truth or not.

According to [[Matt Chapman]] in [[Club Aquatica Interview - 29 Oct 2003|this interview]], The Cheat does all the voices in his Flash cartoons. Apparently he normally can speak only in squeaks, but can impersonate the other characters speaking English remarkably well (for a The Cheat). Apparently, as explained in [[bottom 10]], The Cheat has a foul stench when he is wet.

The Cheat also seems to possess [[The Cheat's Head Exploding|explosive properties]], which can cause his head to explode with no apparent lasting effects. It is debated exactly what triggers it, since The Cheat's anatomy provides no information about the subject. It could be triggered chemically (ie [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats|carbonated drinks and Pop Rocks]] or [[Happy Fireworks|when agitated]]), when the brain is being overworked, such as in [[pizzaz|states of confusion]], or even for [[couch patch|no apparent reason]]. The most spectacular display was in [[Happy Fireworks]], when he was shaken by Strong Mad and thrown into the air. This provided a huge explosion resembling fireworks.

The Cheat also had a recent battle with insomnia, as Strong Bad recounted in [[bedtime story]], due to watching a shockumentary about gingivitis. To go to sleep, he needs [[The Denzel]], a glass of [[Suudsu|suudsu]] and a story about him and [[Moses Malone]], followed by a chainsaw lullaby. Failing that, two or three [[Roach Killa!|roach foggers]] are used.

As a side note, no one knows when The Cheat's birthday (or cheatday) actually is, so it is celebrated on April 18, the date on his [[cheatday|Scandinavian fake ID]], since it's the most likely day that his birthday isn't.
