With such an expansive bank of cartoons, it would be near impossible for The Brothers Chaps to keep the Homestar Runner Universe completely consistent and have total continuity between cartoons. Because of this large size, various inconsistencies occur throughout the website and the DVDs. These are usually very minor.

Appearances of Inconsistencies

  • Strong MadHis height seems to be constantly questionable.
  • The King of Town DVD Commentary — Strong Bad claims The King of Town "lives in like some two bedroom job, like, next door to me", when in Where's The Cheat, the bet, and numerous other places, The King is shown living in his castle, not in the house Strong Bad proclaimed.
  • The King of Town DVD Commentary — Strong Bad also claims that Homestar can't read, and doesn't know the alphabet. But Homestar reads and writes in a number of toons, including Arcade Game, 50 emails, and Cool Things.
