Allegedly Real Things
From Homestar Runner Wiki
Many times, objects or people are specifically (and often awkwardly) described as real or actual when it's plainly obvious that they are not.
[edit] Examples
- Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 6.0 — Strong Bad excessively embellishes the claim that his girlfriend is real.
- Email credit card — The writers of the email "promise that [they] are real and not just trying to steal [Strong Bad's] money".
- Email 50 emails — Homestar Runner posts a fake error message after crashing the Compy 386. The error message's title bar reads "This is real."
- The System is Down, Sbemail 100 Fakeout, and Main Page 22 — Similar fake error messages to the above appear with "This is real." in the title bar.
- Email unused emails (Easter egg) — Bubs's spam message insists "THIS IS NOT A JOKE!! THIS IS REAL!!!"
