Indiana Jones, a series following the globetrotting adventures of the eponymous archeologist, has been referenced in Homestar Runner. Starting as trilogy of movies meant to throw back to 1930's adventure serials, it went on to become a major franchise with comics, various point and click video games, a TV series and two further sequel movies.
References
- Email morning routine — Strong Bad calls Strong Sad "Interruptor Jones".
- The System is Down — Strong Bad explaining "We've got our top men working on it 'round the clock" is a reference to what the government representative tells Indiana Jones about the status of the Ark of the Covenant at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark.
- Email best thing (DVD commentary) — Strong Bad compares his research on four-armed Grimace to the Grail diary, Dr. Henry Jones Sr.'s research on the Holy Grail from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
- Halloween Potion-ma-jig — One of the fake options in the opening is "I'm selling these fine leather jackets..." a quote originally from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: The Graphic Adventure and referenced in several later LucasArts titles.
- Email pizza joint — In response to the lengthy name of "Strong Bad's Strong Badian Pizz—", The Ugly One (in a sarcophagus) declares "I belong in a museum!", referencing Jones' refrain from Last Crusade that ancient artifacts "belong in a museum".
- Homestar Ruiner — Strong Bad's refrigerator is completely empty except for a jar of Fluffy Puff Mayo. This is most likely a reference to Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, where Indy's refrigerator only had a lone jar of mayonnaise as well.
- Strong Badia the Free — While in the Homsar Reservation, asking Strong Sad about the tuning fork will prompt him to respond "It belongs in a museum!"
- Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective —
- Dangeresque says that the paintings in the office "belong in a museum!"
- Renaldo saying "All we want is the girl!" is a reference to Jones negotiating for Marion's release in Raiders.
- Dangeresque says "Ahh, Venice!", a line Jones repeats while visiting the city in Last Crusade.
- Uzi Bazooka shoots Dadgeresque in a manner very similar to when Indiana Jones's father is shot in Last Crusade.
- 8-Bit is Enough — When asking Strong Bad to help him find his lucky quarter, Homestar comments, "I hear you're the best digger in Cairo", a modified quote from Raiders.
- Cheat Commandos: Two Part Episode: Part 2 — Subtlefuge's description of Swampslash's abilities is similar to Indiana Jones' exaggerated description of Marcus Brody in Last Crusade: "He speaks a dozen languages[...] He'll blend in, disappear..."
- Halloween Hide & Seek —
- Examining the Cheat's silhouette has Homestar mistake him for Mullet Indym'n Jones.
- Asking Strong Bad about The Cheat will result in Strong Bad quoting the same Indiana Jones statement about Marcus Brody used in Cheat Commandos: Two Part Episode: Part 2, verbatim.
- @StrongBadActual Tweet (13 Jan 2023) — The Cheat provides an alternative to "tired old Indym'n Jones gifs": an animation of Strong Sad rapidly aging into a skeleton, mirroring Walter Donovan's fate in Last Crusade.
