Biography
Pom Pom (also spelled Pom-Pom) is a Pom from the Isle of Pom. Pom Pom, like all Poms, appears to be inflated. He talks by making bubbly noises and can store stuff by absorbing objects into his body, suggesting that he's made of some sort of carbonated/gelatinous substance. Pom Pom is Homestar Runner's best friend, but Pom Pom sometimes also hangs out with Strong Bad. He is often on his cell phone talking to his many girlfriends and taking karate. He was going to have a dog named Trivia Time, but this concept seems to have been abandoned. He also has a "wicked Pom Pilot". Pom Pom's parent's names are General and Fraulein Pom Pom, as seen in an Easter egg in the Strong Bad E-mail pom pom. Pom Pom has such an open mind that he has even made friends with such characters as the King of Town and The Poopsmith.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Here go Pom Pom. {to Pom Pom} What's up, Pom Pom? {Pom Pom gestures to his phone} Oh, sorry. {to camera} Pom Pom is definitely the mack around here. And he's my best friend. He's gotten me out of some pretty tight jams. And some pretty tight pants! But that only happened once. {to Pom Pom} Hey Pom Pom—{Pom Pom looks at him angrily and points to his phone} Oh, right. I forgot already. He's probably talking to some fine honey on his celly. {Pom Pom gets out his wallet and shows the camera some pictures of his girlfriends} About to get her phone number. Or maybe he already has it. He gets digits like every single day. {to Pom Pom} Isn't that right, Pom Pom? {irritated, Pom Pom snaps his phone shut and bubbles angrily at Homestar} Oh, sorry again man. My bad. I wasn't trying to step to you or anything. We're still cool. {Pom Pom sighs, puts his phone away, shakes his head and bounces away} Pom Pom and I are still cool.

Phone Numbers
Home: (123) 456-7890
Cell: (123) 555-8307
Pager: (718) 555-1059
- Based on the area code for his pager number, Pom Pom has either lived or does business in the outer boroughs of New York City. 123 is not a real area code, as none (in the North American Numbering Plan, at least) begin with the numeral 1.
- Pom Pom's "voice" is the same re-used sound sample of Mike Chapman blowing bubbles into a glass of milk. His is the only voice that is never recorded fresh for every toon (and never has since his first appearance).
- "The Most Mackinest" is a phrase taken from the Beastie Boys' song "Shake Your Rump."
- Pom Pom is the only main character whose parents have been seen on the site, in a picture in Isle of Pom. They are differently-colored Poms there, but Strong Bad hypothetically envisions them as a File Cabinet in Family Resemblence.
- Pom Pom's ringtone as heard in technology is a clip of the geddup noise as performed by DJ Teh Cheat.
