Some of the YouTube versions of Homestar Runner toons parody the Related Video Thumbnails commonly found in popular videos. Nine fake thumbnails for other videos appear at the official end of the toon, in order to give the effect that the video has ended, after which the Easter eggs are displayed automatically. None of the "videos" shown in the thumbnails have been released as of yet.

Fish Eye Lens

"Don't look for these so much."

The thumbnails were introduced in the YouTube version of Fish Eye Lens. The contents of the thumbnails are as follows:

Coach Z and Strong Sad dancing on the Race Track in outer space A photograph of a CRT television displaying Swordquest: Earthworld. The Videlectrix Guys appear in the lower-left corner, along with the caption "Joystick Wagglin' with Videlectrix" Homestar and a peasant from Peasant's Quest Online? standing in The Field with snow on the ground
A tiny Strong Bad walking up Senor Cardgage's head Homestar standing in an older style Field, with an orange laser beam in place of his head (which is now on the ground) Puppet Homestar and Mike Chapman sitting in front of a curtain with a cup of coffee. The caption reads "COFFEE TOWN WITH HOMESTAR + MIKE, episode 6"
Strong Bad in front of a red-yellow gradient. In place of his legs are several more torsos that continue off the screen, some of which have extra arms, resembling a centipede A small Bubs hovering over the Compé's keyboard on Strong Bad's desk. Bubs is leaving a bouncy, dashed white line behind him, à la Where U Goin' 2? Pom Pom peeking out of a stylized human brain

Halloween Safety

"Don't look for these, too."

Some of the thumbnails are similar to the ones seen in Fish Eye Lens, while others are new.

  • Marzipan's eyes in the middle-right thumbnail blink once.

Almost all of the thumbnails have been reused from the previous toons.

  • In the upper-left hand corner, the thumbnail of Marzipan and Pom Pom from Halloween Safety now displays Marzipan with The Cheat in her throat.
    • Again, Marzipan's eyes blink once.
    • She has two mouths, one in the correct position and one where The Cheat's eyes should be. Both are frowning.
    • Her hair is now misaligned from her head.

Real World References

  • Homestar being beheaded is a reference to Highlander's quickening.
