Nationality Confusion

From Homestar Runner Wiki

The characters of the Homestar Runner universe sometimes get nationalities confused, most often Strong Bad.

Appearances

• Email action figure — Strong Bad says his action figure would come with Chinese throwing croissants despite them being a French pastry. He may also be referring to "Chinese throwing stars", when shuriken are Japanese in origin.
• Email anything — Reading the abbreviation "FL", Homestar Runner suspects that the sender is from the Far Off Lands instead of Florida.
• The Theme from Dangeresque II — Dangeresque is said to keep a bunch of Chinese stars under the bed with a length of pipe. Again, shuriken are Japanese. The flag of China has several stars printed on it, but even then, they'd be useless to keep under the bed.
• Email secret recipes — Strong Bad mistakes the abbreviation of New Jersey (NJ) for Nigeria.
• Email theme song — Strong Bad thinks On-ta-rio, Can-ada is "south of the border".
• Date Nite — Strong Bad pretends to be an Italian chef at a French restaurant, completely falling apart when trying to correct it.
• The Limozeen Advantage — Larry Palaroncini mistakenly believes Advantage are from the French Nebula when they're actually from New Jersey.
• Homestar Ruiner — Strong Bad takes the sender of the email for French as he came from Frenchtown, California.
• Donut Unto Others — Homestar claims to have dreamt that "[he] was a French long jump champion with eight wooden legs" but from what we see, he's a Mexican high-jump champion with only one leg.
• Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective — After finding out his father is in Venice, Dangeresque declares to Renaldo that they're going to France, before a jump-cut corrects it to Italy.
• Haunted Photo Booth — Strong Bad calls Strong Sad's Hercule Poirot costume "Frenchy Detective" when the character is Belgian.
