Ever noticed a little red exclamation point (!) next to an edit listed on the [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] page? Did you know you can remove those exclamation points by patrolling edits? The idea is that having a group of people patrolling edits should reduce spam and vandalism.

To mark an '''edit''' as patrolled, click the "diff" link next to an unpatrolled edit, survey the edit to be sure it isn't spam or vandalism, then click the "Mark as patrolled" link near the top right of the page.

It's a different process to mark a '''new page''' patrolled. Since there is no "diff" link, you instead click on the article name. The link to patrol says, "Mark this article as patrolled", and it appears at the bottom right corner of the article.

If you'd like to help out in the effort of patrolling recent changes, put your name on the list below. Adding your name to the list constitutes a commitment of time to patrolling. This page will serve as a hub for patrollers to get in contact with one another. Feel free to list any questionable edits at the bottom of this page to call them to the attention of other patrollers. For an example of how this page might serve our community, see the [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:RC patrol|Recent changes patrol]] on Wikipedia.

Hello. I have been a [http://www.homestarrunner.com Homestarrunner] fan for quiet a while. About three years. My friend introduced it to me, and since then I have always loved it. I have decided thatt since I always used this website for help, that I should help it out a little. I have seen the website grow for a while, and have a lot of knowledge of it. I hope to be able to be an important part of the Hrwiki, as I learn more about it's functions. I'm only on the weekends, except on holidays though and on the average for only two hours each day. I will have more about me later.

Thanks~

Yogiman: Peasants

Peasants are the figures in brown robes you smoosh in the game [[Trogdor]]. They apparently smell, and need to be on fire to go and try to destroy the dragon, as reaveled in the game [[Peasants Quest]]. They are normally poor, and live in small, brick cottages. Trogdor's main hobby in setting them on fire though, so the peasants have a deep grudge against him.

[[Image:newboots02.png|thumb|"PURPLE boxing gloves?!?"]]

'''Purple''' is a color that recurs quite frequently in the [[Homestar Runner (Flash cartoon)|Homestar Runner]] universe.

*'''Email [[sibbie]]''' — Strong Bad says that one of the demands of email senders is for him to "put on a purple thing and dance around."
*'''[[New Boots]]''' — The Cheat had created Strong Bad as wearing purple boxing gloves, instead of red, much to the real Strong Bad's irritation.
*'''[[Teen Girl Squad Issue 7]]''' — Baby Cheerleader claims she can count to purple backwards.

*'''[[The Cheatar]]''' — The door in the back is purple.
*'''[[for kids]]''' — Some of the flowers in the Whaddya Know Haddi-man scene are purple.
*'''[[The Interview]]''' — Homestar's silhouette is purple.
*'''[[Fan Costume Commentary]]''' — One of the fans is wearing a purple cap.
*'''[[Stinkoman 20X6]]''' — one of the planets in the sky is purple.

==Delete==
Well-done article on the first edit, MHarrington, but I have to say this. These appearances are not related to each other, nor is purple anything special or unusual. I vote delete, for I see no running gag here. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 02:07, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
:Yeah, and if we give purple an article, to be fair we have to give blue and red and yellow and green and brown and orange and black and white and tan and pink and every other color a page. Which would be red-iculous.-[[User:LordQuackingstick|LordQuackingstick]] 02:10, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
::Agree, '''delete'''.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 07:15, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
:::I'd like to give this page some more time. If no other reference to purple comes, it should be '''deleted'''. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 23:37, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
::::Yeah, what they said. Unless we want to waste our time making countless color pages (red, yellow, green, brown, scarlet, black, ochre, peach, ruby, olive, violet, fawn, lilac, gold, chocolate, mauve, cream, crimson, silver, rose, azure, lemon, russet, gray, ''purple'', white, pink, orange, and blue to name a few), let's just cut it short with this one. -{{User:Brightstar Shiner/sig}} 23:53, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
:::::I'd argue that purple is not an adequate concept for a running gag. As LQ said, yellow is equally deserving of a page, as are other colors. I'm not prepared to have a page for each color and where it's mentioned, so this article is the beginning of a slippery slope. '''Delete.''' {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 23:55, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
::::::I c'n just see these other colour pages now: "Strong Bad says he has a big old red head in [[do over]]"... "Homestar refers to The Cheat as a yellow dog in [[army]]"... "In [[big white face]], Strong Bad says Bubs is of the blue-headed persuasion"... And so on. Articles like that wouldn't be that great. Purple is only used so often in strange ways because it's a funny word (and has no rhyme, except maybe "burp'll"). --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 00:04, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
:::::::If there were more instances like the TGS one ("I can count to purple backwards"), then I could see this being a running gag. However, I don't think the other mentions of "purple" are very unusual. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 00:08, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

== Biography ==
'''Homestar Runner''' (middle name either [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig#Transcript|Michael]] or [[time capsule#Commentary Transcript|Hal]]) is the star of his namesake website. The subject of jokes and the recipient of [[Nicknames#Homestar Runner|nicknames]], Homestar is an earnest character with a pure heart and nothing but love for the rest of mankind. Unfortunately, his absolute cluelessness and clumsiness keep him from realizing his full potential. As Strong Bad stated in [[TrogdorCon '97]], he has an "unbelievably loose grasp on the world around [him]". He's not ''completely'' stupid, though (he once correctly stated [[Wikipedia:Coulomb's law|Coulomb's law]]; albeit after being asked what two plus two is), and has proven to be remarkably clever in the past, though such occurrences are few and far between. He and most of the other residents of [[Free Country, USA]] speak English, but as seen in his [[First Time Here?|welcome speech to homestarrunner.com]], he is also able to speak Spanish, though it is unknown exactly how much. According to the toon [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]], he weighs about one hundred pounds.

Homestar is the star athlete on an unspecified sports team led by [[Coach Z]] and keeps it that way via vigorous workouts, as revealed in the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[dullard]]. He is also the colonel (which is always pronounced phonetically) of the [[Homestarmy]], while his [[Homestar Runner and Pom Pom's Relationship|best friend]] remains [[Pom Pom]]. He has some [[Wikipedia:Rhotacism|speech impediments]] (as he says, he has "[[Puppet Jam: Vitamins/Celebrities|twouble with [his] aw's]]"), and appears to have [[Homestar Runner and Homestar Runner's Relationship|short-term memory problems]], as he frequently forgets things he has just done or said, (for examples, see the [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 12.2|12th Answering Machine]] or [[Homestar Presents: Presents]]). He also tends to "borrow" things from (and return things to) [[Strong Bad]], for example, [[Strong Bad's fondue pot]]. Though he [[Lack of Visible Arms|lacks a visible pair of arms]], he is still able to function as though he has them, being able to carry and throw things and even type proficiently. It's generally accepted that either he ''does'' have arms, but for reasons that are never explained, they are invisible, or that he has limited telekinetic powers. He frequently uses two-syllable exclamations, like [[montage|"Hi-Ya!"]], [[radio|"Highball!"]], and [[Homestar Presents: Presents|"Ah-tpoo!"]].

Although he is often the target of pranks by Strong Bad, Homestar believes that he is friends with the "[[wrestleman]]" and tries to win his favor, often with bad results that Homestar completely misunderstands. Occasionally, he and Strong Bad will be on pleasant terms, usually participating together in a Strong Bad Email or watching TV at Homestar's house. As a whole, Homestar seems to be too dim to realize when people are being mean to him, or when he's being mean to other people. He often unintentionally insults his friends or steps on their feelings and is unable to understand their resulting feelings of anger or why he seems to get on their nerves. Another quirk of Homestar is his ability to be easily outsmarted at his own game, and still be completely oblivious and even happy. As Strong Bad put it in [[secret recipes]], "It's like, even when we win, he wins."

[[Image:Homestarteeth.png|thumb|130px|Yes, he does have teeth.]]

Homestar has behaved arrogantly on various subjects, often caused by discussions of tender subjects, misunderstanding the topic at-hand or his general ignorance of the present situation. While arrogant, he acts single minded and in extreme instances, violently, in a side of his character not often shown on the website, before coming down into upset and exhausted state, such as in [[Happy Fireworks]], when he refuses to acknowledge Marzipan's lack of presence, or in [[long pants]], where he is indignant about the suggestion that he does not, in fact, wear long pants.

At present, Homestar works on the [[isp|help desk]] at an [[The Office|unnamed tech company]] with Strong Bad and [[The Cheat]], but has frequently dabbled in the entertainment industry. He made several [[Fluffy Puff Commercial|commercials]] for [[Fluffy Puff Marshmallows]] along with the product's mascot, [[Marshie]]. He is also the host of an obscure talk/game show named "[[The Show]]", has co-starred in at least one ''[[Dangeresque (film series)|Dangeresque]]'' movie, sung several hit singles such as "[[Everybody Knows It]]", "[[Puppet Jam: Bad Jokes|Bad Jokes]]" and other jams with [[They Might Be Giants]], revealed that he is considering a career in [[crying|male modeling]], and also guest starred in an episode of [[Caleb Rentpayer]] (in which he shot Caleb). He enjoys running, breaking into Strong Bad's house, singing, and finding the perfect [[Decemberween]] present. He also seems to really like [[bread]], as seen in [[origins]] and [[disconnected]]. Other favored foods are [[Fluffy Puff Marshmallows|marshmallows]], [[Bronco Trolleys]], [[melonade]], and supposedly [[Wikipedia:Hot Pockets|Hot Pockets]], according to the email [[dullard]]. His most prized possession is his propeller-cap and its [[Spin My Buzzer|"buzzer"]]. He might be a fan of the [[Wikipedia:NHL|NHL]]'s [[Wikipedia:Boston Bruins|Boston Bruins]], as he is seen wearing a Bruins shirt in [[Superbowl Dealie]].

He, [[Coach Z]], and [[Bubs]] appear to be the current law enforcement in [[Free Country, USA]], as seen in [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]] and [[road trip]] (In the latter, Strong Bad refers to Homestar as "Officer Cheese-for-butt," which suggests that Homestar may be some sort of officer.) The King of Town calls upon his and Pom Pom's assistance in [[The King of Town DVD]], suggesting higher authority and/or credibility. However, he is also seen as a thief in [[candy product]], stealing a pair of half-eaten "choco-pants".

== Character Video Transcript ==
''{'''Page Title:''' Homerun Hitter!}''
''{'''Place:''' [[The Field]]}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, hello. Greetings, one and everyone. Welcome to me.... Homestar!... Runner!... Homestar Runner. Um... what else? I pretty much run the show around here. I date the only girl, and have the only propeller cap. ''{propeller cap twirls}'' And can run, and jump, and kick the fastest, highest and like nobody's business. If I had to pick one word to describe myself, it would probably be... Fluffy Puff Marshmallows. Or Homestar. Either one, really. They both fit.

''{Strong Bad sticks his arm into the scene.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{says one of the following lines, picked randomly}''
*Don't forget "doofus"!
*Don't forget "moron"!
*Don't forget um... "[[Wikipedia:Lionel Richie|Lionel Richie]]"!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, that too. That's another good one. In closing, I look good in red. Check it out. ''{turns around, sings while shaking his rear}'' Buttdance, buttda-a-ance!

===Fun Facts===
*Homestar shows off his [[Buttdance|butt dance]] again multiple times.
*Homestar could only hold his breath for about 3 seconds in [[Halloween Fairstival]], but in the older [[Yearbook Character Page]], he could hold his breath for about 11 seconds.
*Homestar also appears to have a nervous twitch, which would be revealed in later cartoons, as his head repeatedly snaps back and forth while talking.

== Homestar's Eyes ==
[[Image:Straighton.png|thumb|Cartoon straight-on]]
[[Image:TMBG_Homestar_closeup_20040925.jpg|thumb|right|Puppet Stuff straight-on]]
Homestar's eyes are quite strange.
*Sometimes they seem to move around his head. Most of the time they're like a flounder's eyes, but they switch sides of his face whenever he turns. In the [[Old Intro 2]], you can sort of see Homestar's eyes moving as the camera circles around him. Also, in [[Theme Song Video]], the currently absent toon [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]], the old version of [[In Search Of The Yello Dello DVD|In Search of the Yello Dello]], the [[Homestar Runner and Strong Bad Screensaver|Homestar Screensaver]], and the [[Eggs_%28toon%29|Eggs toon]], you can see his face from the front, which further lends credence to this theory.
**It is possible that Homestar's eyes are in fact on the front of his head, but his generally accepted stature always has him facing slightly to the side. Because he is a cartoon character, the three-dimensional shape of his head and face are not shown, so the viewer is left to infer the eyes' correct positions based on which direction Homestar appears to be facing. (Note that an explicit "front view" of Homestar Runner has not been seen since Old Intro 2.)

*His puppet and his two figurines, on the other hand, have eyes stuck on one side of his head. Occasionally you can get a peek at the other side of Puppet Homestar's face.
**[[The Brothers Chaps]] actually made the eyes out of felt, so that they can be switched if necessary.

*Homestar's eyes almost always blink at regular intervals (once every approximately 3.9 seconds), even when the cartoon is paused or has stopped, and in some special cases such as where he appears on a magazine cover (as seen in the Email [[modeling]]). This is explained by the fact that his eyes are animated as a Flash movie clip, which generally animates continuously.

==Homestar Runner's Hat==
:''Main article: [[Homestar Runner's Hat]]''
[[Image:Homestarhat.png|thumb|It's my buzzer!]]
Homestar Runner usually wears a blue and red propeller cap, commonly called a beanie. He calls the propeller a "buzzer." In an interview with [[Wonkavision Magazine Interview|Wonkavision Magazine]], he claimed that he was born with his hat on. He is occasionally seen without it. He had lost his hat in [[Where My Hat is At?]] and apparently [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]] (according to the DVD commentary) as well. In the email [[super powers]], Strong Bad managed to make the hat pop off of Homestar's head. In the email [[car]], Homestar had his hat "tricked out" with features such as hydraulics and underglow neon. He also claimed that if Strong Bad [[Spin My Buzzer|spun his "buzzer"]], it would play the theme from ''[[Wikipedia:Night Court|Night Court]]'', but it was obvious Homestar hummed it himself. Homestar dressed as himself in [[TrogdorCon '97]], and wore two hats as a result.

== Homestar's Shirt ==

[[Image:Homestar's Legs and shirt in the middle.PNG|50px|thumb|In the middle]]
[[Image:Onetwo_hrfoot.PNG|50px|thumb|left|The bottom of his feet]]

Homestar's shirt seems to most resemble a red skirt with a white star on it. [[Strong Bad]] stole the star in [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]] and used it to coax Homestar and [[Pom Pom]] into wrestling [[Strong Mad]] and himself. Despite the brothers' loss to Homestar and Pom Pom, Strong Bad tore up the star, and only by kicking Strong Bad and taking one of the stars floating around his head was Homestar able to return his shirt to its original glory. The only other times Homestar's star has been removed were in [[different town]], in which Strong Bad imagined Homestar angrily tearing the star off his shirt and stamping on it when he "called it quits", and [[hygiene]], when he takes it off and blows his nose in it as John. Clearly, the star is a mark of pride to Homestar Runner.

In the original script for [[flashback]], Strong Bad wore a similar shirt until Marzipan gave one to Homestar (to replace his Duckie Shirt). After this point, Strong Bad would have ripped off his shirt, explaining why he never wore one to this day.

A real-life version of the shirt is available for purchase in the [[Store]].

Other than his propeller cap, Homestar's shirt appears to be his only piece of clothing, as his questionable [[Homestar Runner's Pants|pants]] are a mystery. In [[long pants]], Strong Bad claims that Homestar doesn't have shoes, but has blue soles glued to the bottom of his feet. He wore a gray version of his shirt in [[impression]] while doing a bad imitation of [[Strong Sad]].

Note that the shirt is also straight compared to the eyes on the unfinished toon, [[Tis True, Pom Pom, Tis True]].

==Homestar & Marzipan==

[[Image:marzipan.png|thumb|Homestar's favorite hippie.]]

:''Main article: [[Homestar Runner and Marzipan's Relationship]]''
Homestar's relationship with Marzipan seems tenuous at best, and it has appeared to deteriorate over time. Although Homestar frequently (and usually inadvertently) insults Marzipan, and she claims to have broken up with him several times, the two still seem to stick together. It is unclear how their relationship started, but the fact that their relationship is never truly broken suggests that they really do love each other.

Homestar appears to greatly value their relationship; on the ''rare'' occasion that he realizes that their relationship is in jeopardy, he will spring into a desperate ploy to patch things up. He also seems to miss and need Marzipan's badgering every once in a while. When she was out of town in [[Happy Fireworks|July of 2005]], he carried around a [[Cardboard Marzipan|cardboard cutout]] version of her and provided a voice for it. The cardboard version still made similar comments about violence and Homestar's poor grammar that the actual Marzipan would have, providing Homestar with the presumably cathartic opportunity to say "Shut up, Marzipan." Even then, Homestar's relationship with the "Cardboard Marzi" appeared to be tenuous, as he voiced her flirting with other men. (This could be due to lasting paranoia and suspicion following a series of [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 3.0|answering machine messages]] in which both Bubs and Coach Z tried to ask her out on a date.) Cardboard Marzipan returned in [[No Hands on Deck|August of 2006]], where she was slightly more positive with Homestar, and said she was proud of his unusually constructed deck.

In [[Date Nite]], Marzipan went out with The Cheat, much to Homestar's dismay. Though the date went well, Marzipan did not stay with The Cheat. She later went out with Bubs, to Coach Z's dismay.

*Homestar's eyes almost always blink at regular intervals (once every approximately 3.9 seconds), even when the cartoon is paused or has stopped, and in some special cases such as where he appears on a magazine cover (as seen in the Email [[modeling]]). This is explained by the fact that his eyes are animated as a Flash movie clip, which generally animates continuously.

==Homestar Runner's Hat==
:''Main article: [[Homestar Runner's Hat]]''
[[Image:Homestarhat.png|thumb|It's my buzzer!]]
Homestar Runner usually wears a blue and red propeller cap, commonly called a beanie. He calls the propeller a "buzzer." In an interview with [[Wonkavision Magazine Interview|Wonkavision Magazine]], he claimed that he was born with his hat on. He is occasionally seen without it. He had lost his hat in [[Where My Hat is At?]] and apparently [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]] (according to the DVD commentary) as well. In the email [[super powers]], Strong Bad managed to make the hat pop off of Homestar's head. In the email [[car]], Homestar had his hat "tricked out" with features such as hydraulics and underglow neon. He also claimed that if Strong Bad [[Spin My Buzzer|spun his "buzzer"]], it would play the theme from ''[[Wikipedia:Night Court|Night Court]]'', but it was obvious Homestar hummed it himself. Homestar dressed as himself in [[TrogdorCon '97]], and wore two hats as a result.

== Homestar's Shirt ==

[[Image:Homestar's Legs and shirt in the middle.PNG|50px|thumb|In the middle]]
[[Image:Onetwo_hrfoot.PNG|50px|thumb|left|The bottom of his feet]]

Homestar's shirt seems to most resemble a red skirt with a white star on it. [[Strong Bad]] stole the star in [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]] and used it to coax Homestar and [[Pom Pom]] into wrestling [[Strong Mad]] and himself. Despite the brothers' loss to Homestar and Pom Pom, Strong Bad tore up the star, and only by kicking Strong Bad and taking one of the stars floating around his head was Homestar able to return his shirt to its original glory. The only other times Homestar's star has been removed were in [[different town]], in which Strong Bad imagined Homestar angrily tearing the star off his shirt and stamping on it when he "called it quits", and [[hygiene]], when he takes it off and blows his nose in it as John. Clearly, the star is a mark of pride to Homestar Runner.

In the original script for [[flashback]], Strong Bad wore a similar shirt until Marzipan gave one to Homestar (to replace his Duckie Shirt). After this point, Strong Bad would have ripped off his shirt, explaining why he never wore one to this day.

A real-life version of the shirt is available for purchase in the [[Store]].

Other than his propeller cap, Homestar's shirt appears to be his only piece of clothing, as his questionable [[Homestar Runner's Pants|pants]] are a mystery. In [[long pants]], Strong Bad claims that Homestar doesn't have shoes, but has blue soles glued to the bottom of his feet. He wore a gray version of his shirt in [[impression]] while doing a bad imitation of [[Strong Sad]].

Note that the shirt is also straight compared to the eyes on the unfinished toon, [[Tis True, Pom Pom, Tis True]].

==Homestar & Marzipan==

[[Image:marzipan.png|thumb|Homestar's favorite hippie.]]

:''Main article: [[Homestar Runner and Marzipan's Relationship]]''
Homestar's relationship with Marzipan seems tenuous at best, and it has appeared to deteriorate over time. Although Homestar frequently (and usually inadvertently) insults Marzipan, and she claims to have broken up with him several times, the two still seem to stick together. It is unclear how their relationship started, but the fact that their relationship is never truly broken suggests that they really do love each other.

Homestar appears to greatly value their relationship; on the ''rare'' occasion that he realizes that their relationship is in jeopardy, he will spring into a desperate ploy to patch things up. He also seems to miss and need Marzipan's badgering every once in a while. When she was out of town in [[Happy Fireworks|July of 2005]], he carried around a [[Cardboard Marzipan|cardboard cutout]] version of her and provided a voice for it. The cardboard version still made similar comments about violence and Homestar's poor grammar that the actual Marzipan would have, providing Homestar with the presumably cathartic opportunity to say "Shut up, Marzipan." Even then, Homestar's relationship with the "Cardboard Marzi" appeared to be tenuous, as he voiced her flirting with other men. (This could be due to lasting paranoia and suspicion following a series of [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 3.0|answering machine messages]] in which both Bubs and Coach Z tried to ask her out on a date.) Cardboard Marzipan returned in [[No Hands on Deck|August of 2006]], where she was slightly more positive with Homestar, and said she was proud of his unusually constructed deck.

In [[Date Nite]], Marzipan went out with The Cheat, much to Homestar's dismay. Though the date went well, Marzipan did not stay with The Cheat. She later went out with Bubs, to Coach Z's dismay.

== Biography ==
'''Homestar Runner''' (middle name either [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig#Transcript|Michael]] or [[time capsule#Commentary Transcript|Hal]]) is the star of his namesake website. The subject of jokes and the recipient of [[Nicknames#Homestar Runner|nicknames]], Homestar is an earnest character with a pure heart and nothing but love for the rest of mankind. Unfortunately, his absolute cluelessness and clumsiness keep him from realizing his full potential. As Strong Bad stated in [[TrogdorCon '97]], he has an "unbelievably loose grasp on the world around [him]". He's not ''completely'' stupid, though (he once correctly stated [[Wikipedia:Coulomb's law|Coulomb's law]]; albeit after being asked what two plus two is), and has proven to be remarkably clever in the past, like in sbemail98 [[Stupid Stuff]] when he tricked [[Strongbad]] into saying something dumb, though such occurrences are few and far between. He and most of the other residents of [[Free Country, USA]] speak English, but as seen in his [[First Time Here?|welcome speech to homestarrunner.com]], he is also able to speak Spanish, though it is unknown exactly how much. According to the toon [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]], he weighs about one hundred pounds.

Homestar is the star athlete on an unspecified sports team led by [[Coach Z]] and keeps it that way via vigorous workouts, as revealed in the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[dullard]]. He is also the colonel (which is always pronounced phonetically) of the [[Homestarmy]], while his [[Homestar Runner and Pom Pom's Relationship|best friend]] remains [[Pom Pom]]. He has some [[Wikipedia:Rhotacism|speech impediments]] (as he says, he has "[[Puppet Jam: Vitamins/Celebrities|twouble with [his] aw's]]"), and appears to have [[Homestar Runner and Homestar Runner's Relationship|short-term memory problems]], as he frequently forgets things he has just done or said, (for examples, see the [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 12.2|12th Answering Machine]] or [[Homestar Presents: Presents]]). He also tends to "borrow" things from (and return things to) [[Strong Bad]], for example, [[Strong Bad's fondue pot]]. Though he [[Lack of Visible Arms|lacks a visible pair of arms]], he is still able to function as though he has them, being able to carry and throw things and even type proficiently. It's generally accepted that either he ''does'' have arms, but for reasons that are never explained, they are invisible, or that he has limited telekinetic powers. He frequently uses two-syllable exclamations, like [[montage|"Hi-Ya!"]], [[radio|"Highball!"]], and [[Homestar Presents: Presents|"Ah-tpoo!"]].

Although he is often the target of pranks by Strong Bad, Homestar believes that he is friends with the "[[wrestleman]]" and tries to win his favor, often with bad results that Homestar completely misunderstands. Occasionally, he and Strong Bad will be on pleasant terms, usually participating together in a Strong Bad Email or watching TV at Homestar's house. As a whole, Homestar seems to be too dim to realize when people are being mean to him, or when he's being mean to other people. He often unintentionally insults his friends or steps on their feelings and is unable to understand their resulting feelings of anger. Another quirk of Homestar is his ability to be easily outsmarted at his own game, and still be completely oblivious and even happy. As Strong Bad put it in [[secret recipes]], "It's like, even when we win, he wins."

[[Image:Homestarteeth.png|thumb|130px|Yes, he does have teeth.]]

Homestar has behaved arrogantly on various subjects, often caused by discussions of tender subjects, misunderstanding the topic at-hand or his general ignorance of the present situation. While arrogant, he acts single minded and in extreme instances, violently, in a side of his character not often shown on the website, before coming down into upset and exhausted state, such as in [[Happy Fireworks]], when he refuses to acknowledge Marzipan's lack of presence, or in [[long pants]], where he is indignant about the suggestion that he does not, in fact, wear long pants.

At present, Homestar works on the [[isp|help desk]] at an [[The Office|unnamed tech company]] with Strong Bad and [[The Cheat]], but has frequently dabbled in the entertainment industry. He made several [[Fluffy Puff Commercial|commercials]] for [[Fluffy Puff Marshmallows]] along with the product's mascot, [[Marshie]]. He is also the host of an obscure talk/game show named "[[The Show]]", has co-starred in at least one ''[[Dangeresque (film series)|Dangeresque]]'' movie, sung several hit singles such as "[[Everybody Knows It]]", "[[Puppet Jam: Bad Jokes|Bad Jokes]]" and other jams with [[They Might Be Giants]], revealed that he is considering a career in [[crying|male modeling]], and also guest starred in an episode of [[Caleb Rentpayer]] (in which he shot Caleb). He enjoys running, breaking into Strong Bad's house, singing, and finding the perfect [[Decemberween]] present. He also seems to really like [[bread]], as seen in [[origins]] and [[disconnected]]. Other favored foods are [[Fluffy Puff Marshmallows|marshmallows]], [[Bronco Trolleys]], [[melonade]], and supposedly [[Wikipedia:Hot Pockets|Hot Pockets]], according to the email [[dullard]]. His most prized possession is his propeller-cap and its [[Spin My Buzzer|"buzzer"]]. He might be a fan of the [[Wikipedia:NHL|NHL]]'s [[Wikipedia:Boston Bruins|Boston Bruins]], as he is seen wearing a Bruins shirt in [[Superbowl Dealie]].

He, [[Coach Z]], and [[Bubs]] appear to be the current law enforcement in [[Free Country, USA]], as seen in [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]] and [[road trip]] (In the latter, Strong Bad refers to Homestar as "Officer Cheese-for-butt," which suggests that Homestar may be some sort of officer.) The King of Town calls upon his and Pom Pom's assistance in [[The King of Town DVD]], suggesting higher authority and/or credibility. However, he is also seen as a thief in [[candy product]], stealing a pair of half-eaten "choco-pants".

== Character Video Transcript ==
''{'''Page Title:''' Homerun Hitter!}''
''{'''Place:''' [[The Field]]}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, hello. Greetings, one and everyone. Welcome to me.... Homestar!... Runner!... Homestar Runner. Um... what else? I pretty much run the show around here. I date the only girl, and have the only propeller cap. ''{propeller cap twirls}'' And can run, and jump, and kick the fastest, highest and like nobody's business. If I had to pick one word to describe myself, it would probably be... Fluffy Puff Marshmallows. Or Homestar. Either one, really. They both fit.

''{Strong Bad sticks his arm into the scene.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{says one of the following lines, picked randomly}''
*Don't forget "doofus"!
*Don't forget "moron"!
*Don't forget um... "[[Wikipedia:Lionel Richie|Lionel Richie]]"!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, that too. That's another good one. In closing, I look good in red. Check it out. ''{turns around, sings while shaking his rear}'' Buttdance, buttda-a-ance!

===Fun Facts===
*Homestar shows off his [[Buttdance|butt dance]] again multiple times.
*Homestar could only hold his breath for about 3 seconds in [[Halloween Fairstival]], but in the older [[Yearbook Character Page]], he could hold his breath for about 11 seconds.
*Homestar also appears to have a nervous twitch, which would be revealed in later cartoons, as his head repeatedly snaps back and forth while talking.

== Homestar's Eyes ==
[[Image:Straighton.png|thumb|Cartoon straight-on]]
[[Image:TMBG_Homestar_closeup_20040925.jpg|thumb|right|Puppet Stuff straight-on]]
Homestar's eyes are quite strange.
*Sometimes they seem to move around his head. Most of the time they're like a flounder's eyes, but they switch sides of his face whenever he turns. In the [[Old Intro 2]], you can sort of see Homestar's eyes moving as the camera circles around him. Also, in [[Theme Song Video]], the currently absent toon [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]], the old version of [[In Search Of The Yello Dello DVD|In Search of the Yello Dello]], the [[Homestar Runner and Strong Bad Screensaver|Homestar Screensaver]], and the [[Eggs_%28toon%29|Eggs toon]], you can see his face from the front, which further lends credence to this theory.
**It is possible that Homestar's eyes are in fact on the front of his head, but his generally accepted stature always has him facing slightly to the side. Because he is a cartoon character, the three-dimensional shape of his head and face are not shown, so the viewer is left to infer the eyes' correct positions based on which direction Homestar appears to be facing. (Note that an explicit "front view" of Homestar Runner has not been seen since Old Intro 2.)

*His puppet and his two figurines, on the other hand, have eyes stuck on one side of his head. Occasionally you can get a peek at the other side of Puppet Homestar's face.
**[[The Brothers Chaps]] actually made the eyes out of felt, so that they can be switched if necessary.

*Homestar's eyes almost always blink at regular intervals (once every approximately 3.9 seconds), even when the cartoon is paused or has stopped, and in some special cases such as where he appears on a magazine cover (as seen in the Email [[modeling]]). This is explained by the fact that his eyes are animated as a Flash movie clip, which generally animates continuously.

== Biography ==
'''Homestar Runner''' (middle name either [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig#Transcript|Michael]] or [[time capsule#Commentary Transcript|Hal]]) is the star of his namesake website. The subject of jokes and the recipient of [[Nicknames#Homestar Runner|nicknames]], Homestar is an earnest character with a pure heart and nothing but love for the rest of mankind. Unfortunately, his absolute cluelessness and clumsiness keep him from realizing his full potential. As Strong Bad stated in [[TrogdorCon '97]], he has an "unbelievably loose grasp on the world around [him]". He's not ''completely'' stupid, though (he once correctly stated [[Wikipedia:Coulomb's law|Coulomb's law]]; albeit after being asked what two plus two is), and has proven to be remarkably clever in the past, like in sbemail98 when he tricked [[Strongbad]] into saying something dumb, though such occurrences are few and far between. He and most of the other residents of [[Free Country, USA]] speak English, but as seen in his [[First Time Here?|welcome speech to homestarrunner.com]], he is also able to speak Spanish, though it is unknown exactly how much. According to the toon [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]], he weighs about one hundred pounds.

Homestar is the star athlete on an unspecified sports team led by [[Coach Z]] and keeps it that way via vigorous workouts, as revealed in the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[dullard]]. He is also the colonel (which is always pronounced phonetically) of the [[Homestarmy]], while his [[Homestar Runner and Pom Pom's Relationship|best friend]] remains [[Pom Pom]]. He has some [[Wikipedia:Rhotacism|speech impediments]] (as he says, he has "[[Puppet Jam: Vitamins/Celebrities|twouble with [his] aw's]]"), and appears to have [[Homestar Runner and Homestar Runner's Relationship|short-term memory problems]], as he frequently forgets things he has just done or said, (for examples, see the [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 12.2|12th Answering Machine]] or [[Homestar Presents: Presents]]). He also tends to "borrow" things from (and return things to) [[Strong Bad]], for example, [[Strong Bad's fondue pot]]. Though he [[Lack of Visible Arms|lacks a visible pair of arms]], he is still able to function as though he has them, being able to carry and throw things and even type proficiently. It's generally accepted that either he ''does'' have arms, but for reasons that are never explained, they are invisible, or that he has limited telekinetic powers. He frequently uses two-syllable exclamations, like [[montage|"Hi-Ya!"]], [[radio|"Highball!"]], and [[Homestar Presents: Presents|"Ah-tpoo!"]].

Although he is often the target of pranks by Strong Bad, Homestar believes that he is friends with the "[[wrestleman]]" and tries to win his favor, often with bad results that Homestar completely misunderstands. Occasionally, he and Strong Bad will be on pleasant terms, usually participating together in a Strong Bad Email or watching TV at Homestar's house. As a whole, Homestar seems to be too dim to realize when people are being mean to him, or when he's being mean to other people. He often unintentionally insults his friends or steps on their feelings and is unable to understand their resulting feelings of anger. Another quirk of Homestar is his ability to be easily outsmarted at his own game, and still be completely oblivious and even happy. As Strong Bad put it in [[secret recipes]], "It's like, even when we win, he wins."

[[Image:Homestarteeth.png|thumb|130px|Yes, he does have teeth.]]

Homestar has behaved arrogantly on various subjects, often caused by discussions of tender subjects, misunderstanding the topic at-hand or his general ignorance of the present situation. While arrogant, he acts single minded and in extreme instances, violently, in a side of his character not often shown on the website, before coming down into upset and exhausted state, such as in [[Happy Fireworks]], when he refuses to acknowledge Marzipan's lack of presence, or in [[long pants]], where he is indignant about the suggestion that he does not, in fact, wear long pants.

At present, Homestar works on the [[isp|help desk]] at an [[The Office|unnamed tech company]] with Strong Bad and [[The Cheat]], but has frequently dabbled in the entertainment industry. He made several [[Fluffy Puff Commercial|commercials]] for [[Fluffy Puff Marshmallows]] along with the product's mascot, [[Marshie]]. He is also the host of an obscure talk/game show named "[[The Show]]", has co-starred in at least one ''[[Dangeresque (film series)|Dangeresque]]'' movie, sung several hit singles such as "[[Everybody Knows It]]", "[[Puppet Jam: Bad Jokes|Bad Jokes]]" and other jams with [[They Might Be Giants]], revealed that he is considering a career in [[crying|male modeling]], and also guest starred in an episode of [[Caleb Rentpayer]] (in which he shot Caleb). He enjoys running, breaking into Strong Bad's house, singing, and finding the perfect [[Decemberween]] present. He also seems to really like [[bread]], as seen in [[origins]] and [[disconnected]]. Other favored foods are [[Fluffy Puff Marshmallows|marshmallows]], [[Bronco Trolleys]], [[melonade]], and supposedly [[Wikipedia:Hot Pockets|Hot Pockets]], according to the email [[dullard]]. His most prized possession is his propeller-cap and its [[Spin My Buzzer|"buzzer"]]. He might be a fan of the [[Wikipedia:NHL|NHL]]'s [[Wikipedia:Boston Bruins|Boston Bruins]], as he is seen wearing a Bruins shirt in [[Superbowl Dealie]].

He, [[Coach Z]], and [[Bubs]] appear to be the current law enforcement in [[Free Country, USA]], as seen in [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]] and [[road trip]] (In the latter, Strong Bad refers to Homestar as "Officer Cheese-for-butt," which suggests that Homestar may be some sort of officer.) The King of Town calls upon his and Pom Pom's assistance in [[The King of Town DVD]], suggesting higher authority and/or credibility. However, he is also seen as a thief in [[candy product]], stealing a pair of half-eaten "choco-pants".

== Character Video Transcript ==
''{'''Page Title:''' Homerun Hitter!}''
''{'''Place:''' [[The Field]]}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, hello. Greetings, one and everyone. Welcome to me.... Homestar!... Runner!... Homestar Runner. Um... what else? I pretty much run the show around here. I date the only girl, and have the only propeller cap. ''{propeller cap twirls}'' And can run, and jump, and kick the fastest, highest and like nobody's business. If I had to pick one word to describe myself, it would probably be... Fluffy Puff Marshmallows. Or Homestar. Either one, really. They both fit.

''{Strong Bad sticks his arm into the scene.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{says one of the following lines, picked randomly}''
*Don't forget "doofus"!
*Don't forget "moron"!
*Don't forget um... "[[Wikipedia:Lionel Richie|Lionel Richie]]"!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, that too. That's another good one. In closing, I look good in red. Check it out. ''{turns around, sings while shaking his rear}'' Buttdance, buttda-a-ance!

===Fun Facts===
*Homestar shows off his [[Buttdance|butt dance]] again multiple times.
*Homestar could only hold his breath for about 3 seconds in [[Halloween Fairstival]], but in the older [[Yearbook Character Page]], he could hold his breath for about 11 seconds.
*Homestar also appears to have a nervous twitch, which would be revealed in later cartoons, as his head repeatedly snaps back and forth while talking.

== Homestar's Eyes ==
[[Image:Straighton.png|thumb|Cartoon straight-on]]
[[Image:TMBG_Homestar_closeup_20040925.jpg|thumb|right|Puppet Stuff straight-on]]
Homestar's eyes are quite strange.
*Sometimes they seem to move around his head. Most of the time they're like a flounder's eyes, but they switch sides of his face whenever he turns. In the [[Old Intro 2]], you can sort of see Homestar's eyes moving as the camera circles around him. Also, in [[Theme Song Video]], the currently absent toon [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]], the old version of [[In Search Of The Yello Dello DVD|In Search of the Yello Dello]], the [[Homestar Runner and Strong Bad Screensaver|Homestar Screensaver]], and the [[Eggs_%28toon%29|Eggs toon]], you can see his face from the front, which further lends credence to this theory.
**It is possible that Homestar's eyes are in fact on the front of his head, but his generally accepted stature always has him facing slightly to the side. Because he is a cartoon character, the three-dimensional shape of his head and face are not shown, so the viewer is left to infer the eyes' correct positions based on which direction Homestar appears to be facing. (Note that an explicit "front view" of Homestar Runner has not been seen since Old Intro 2.)

*His puppet and his two figurines, on the other hand, have eyes stuck on one side of his head. Occasionally you can get a peek at the other side of Puppet Homestar's face.
**[[The Brothers Chaps]] actually made the eyes out of felt, so that they can be switched if necessary.

*Homestar's eyes almost always blink at regular intervals (once every approximately 3.9 seconds), even when the cartoon is paused or has stopped, and in some special cases such as where he appears on a magazine cover (as seen in the Email [[modeling]]). This is explained by the fact that his eyes are animated as a Flash movie clip, which generally animates continuously.

==Homestar Runner's Hat==
:''Main article: [[Homestar Runner's Hat]]''
[[Image:Homestarhat.png|thumb|It's my buzzer!]]
Homestar Runner usually wears a blue and red propeller cap, commonly called a beanie. He calls the propeller a "buzzer." In an interview with [[Wonkavision Magazine Interview|Wonkavision Magazine]], he claimed that he was born with his hat on. He is occasionally seen without it. He had lost his hat in [[Where My Hat is At?]] and apparently [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]] (according to the DVD commentary) as well. In the email [[super powers]], Strong Bad managed to make the hat pop off of Homestar's head. In the email [[car]], Homestar had his hat "tricked out" with features such as hydraulics and underglow neon. He also claimed that if Strong Bad [[Spin My Buzzer|spun his "buzzer"]], it would play the theme from ''[[Wikipedia:Night Court|Night Court]]'', but it was obvious Homestar hummed it himself. Homestar dressed as himself in [[TrogdorCon '97]], and wore two hats as a result.

== Homestar's Shirt ==

[[Image:Homestar's Legs and shirt in the middle.PNG|50px|thumb|In the middle]]
[[Image:Onetwo_hrfoot.PNG|50px|thumb|left|The bottom of his feet]]

Homestar's shirt seems to most resemble a red skirt with a white star on it. [[Strong Bad]] stole the star in [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]] and used it to coax Homestar and [[Pom Pom]] into wrestling [[Strong Mad]] and himself. Despite the brothers' loss to Homestar and Pom Pom, Strong Bad tore up the star, and only by kicking Strong Bad and taking one of the stars floating around his head was Homestar able to return his shirt to its original glory. The only other times Homestar's star has been removed were in [[different town]], in which Strong Bad imagined Homestar angrily tearing the star off his shirt and stamping on it when he "called it quits", and [[hygiene]], when he takes it off and blows his nose in it as John. Clearly, the star is a mark of pride to Homestar Runner.

In the original script for [[flashback]], Strong Bad wore a similar shirt until Marzipan gave one to Homestar (to replace his Duckie Shirt). After this point, Strong Bad would have ripped off his shirt, explaining why he never wore one to this day.

A real-life version of the shirt is available for purchase in the [[Store]].

Other than his propeller cap, Homestar's shirt appears to be his only piece of clothing, as his questionable [[Homestar Runner's Pants|pants]] are a mystery. In [[long pants]], Strong Bad claims that Homestar doesn't have shoes, but has blue soles glued to the bottom of his feet. He wore a gray version of his shirt in [[impression]] while doing a bad imitation of [[Strong Sad]].

Note that the shirt is also straight compared to the eyes on the unfinished toon, [[Tis True, Pom Pom, Tis True]].

==Homestar & Marzipan==

[[Image:marzipan.png|thumb|Homestar's favorite hippie.]]

:''Main article: [[Homestar Runner and Marzipan's Relationship]]''
Homestar's relationship with Marzipan seems tenuous at best, and it has appeared to deteriorate over time. Although Homestar frequently (and usually inadvertently) insults Marzipan, and she claims to have broken up with him several times, the two still seem to stick together. It is unclear how their relationship started, but the fact that their relationship is never truly broken suggests that they really do love each other.

Homestar appears to greatly value their relationship; on the ''rare'' occasion that he realizes that their relationship is in jeopardy, he will spring into a desperate ploy to patch things up. He also seems to miss and need Marzipan's badgering every once in a while. When she was out of town in [[Happy Fireworks|July of 2005]], he carried around a [[Cardboard Marzipan|cardboard cutout]] version of her and provided a voice for it. The cardboard version still made similar comments about violence and Homestar's poor grammar that the actual Marzipan would have, providing Homestar with the presumably cathartic opportunity to say "Shut up, Marzipan." Even then, Homestar's relationship with the "Cardboard Marzi" appeared to be tenuous, as he voiced her flirting with other men. (This could be due to lasting paranoia and suspicion following a series of [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 3.0|answering machine messages]] in which both Bubs and Coach Z tried to ask her out on a date.) Cardboard Marzipan returned in [[No Hands on Deck|August of 2006]], where she was slightly more positive with Homestar, and said she was proud of his unusually constructed deck.

In [[Date Nite]], Marzipan went out with The Cheat, much to Homestar's dismay. Though the date went well, Marzipan did not stay with The Cheat. She later went out with Bubs, to Coach Z's dismay.

Well-done article on the first edit, MHarrington, but I have to say this. These appearances are not related to each other, nor is purple anything special or unusual. I vote delete, for I see no running gag here. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 02:07, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
:Yeah, and if we give purple an article, to be fair we have to give blue and red and yellow and green and brown and orange and black and white and tan and pink and every other color a page. Which would be red-iculous.-[[User:LordQuackingstick|LordQuackingstick]] 02:10, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
::Agree, '''delete'''.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 07:15, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
:::I'd like to give this page some more time. If no other reference to purple comes, it should be '''deleted'''. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 23:37, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
::::Yeah, what they said. Unless we want to waste our time making countless color pages (red, yellow, green, brown, scarlet, black, ochre, peach, ruby, olive, violet, fawn, lilac, gold, chocolate, mauve, cream, crimson, silver, rose, azure, lemon, russet, gray, ''purple'', white, pink, orange, and blue to name a few), let's just cut it short with this one. -{{User:Brightstar Shiner/sig}} 23:53, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
:::::I'd argue that purple is not an adequate concept for a running gag. As LQ said, yellow is equally deserving of a page, as are other colors. I'm not prepared to have a page for each color and where it's mentioned, so this article is the beginning of a slippery slope. '''Delete.''' {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 23:55, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
::::::I c'n just see these other colour pages now: "Strong Bad says he has a big old red head in [[do over]]"... "Homestar refers to The Cheat as a yellow dog in [[army]]"... "In [[big white face]], Strong Bad says Bubs is of the blue-headed persuasion"... And so on. Articles like that wouldn't be that great. Purple is only used so often in strange ways because it's a funny word (and has no rhyme, except maybe "burp'll"). --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 00:04, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
:::::::If there were more instances like the TGS one ("I can count to purple backwards"), then I could see this being a running gag. However, I don't think the other mentions of "purple" are very unusual. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 00:08, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
::::::::Agree to all. '''Delort.''' --{{User:Theyellowdart/sig}} 00:21, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
:::::::::Whoever made this is a colorist. That's right, I said it! You obviously think that purple is better than other colors, are you a sexist and a racist also? You disgust me! ... In all seriousness though, i think that this page is irrelevant. Burninate it. [[User:DeFender1031|DeFender1031]] 18:24, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
When I first saw the page title, I thought "This seems like an actual running gag for a change!" Unfortunately, I think that no longer. Honestly, it's a bunch of barely connected coincidences. Delort. {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 18:36, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
