Caleb Rentpayer
From Homestar Runner Wiki
Caleb Rentpayer is a TV show of which Strong Bad is a fan. It was first overheard in the Strong Bad Email "secret recipes," as it was being watched by The King of Town, but had a more prominent role in Bug In Mouth Disease. Even more information was revealed in the toon's audio commentary.
The show features the trials and tribulations of Caleb, a renegade who somehow acquires a lot of money, and his butler, Tucksworth. Caleb is normally very disrespectful of Tucksworth, while Tucksworth is often skeptical of Caleb's schemes. He, at one point, was nearly run down by "The same truck that tried to kill my dad!" Said truck was apparently sentient or at least without the aid of a driver, as Caleb believes it was the truck, not the driver, attempting murder.
In a whodunit cliffhanger for which Strong Bad duct taped his head to the TV, it was revealed that Homestar Runner had shot Caleb, a parody of the famous Dallas episode "Who Shot J.R.?" It is uncertain whether Caleb survived, although Tucksworth made a later appearance in winter pool.
The show is likely a parody of soap operas, which often have befuddled dialogues and dramatic musical scores to go along with them.
