In all its hangingoutitude!

This article is about the hangout spot and pseudocharacter. For the wiki's community portal, see HRWiki:The Stick.

The Stick, whose name includes an integral article, is a largish stick poking out of the ground (or perhaps a prematurely dead tree) in an otherwise nondescript field.

It is typically referenced as a meeting point, especially by Strong Bad and his cohorts; they've considered it an excellent place to hang out ever since they drove Homestar Runner and his bread sing-alongs away from the area, as related in origins. Nonetheless, for reasons that are unclear, Strong Bad and Homestar both express hatred for The Stick in Jibblies 2 (though it may have just been because of its Halloween costume). The Stick participates in other festivities as well, such as being a Decemberween tree or being placed on a snowman.

Fun Facts

According to origins, The Stick presently rates a 10 in hangingoutitude, but was considerably lower in hangingoutitude during the period it was the site of Homestar Runner's bread sing-alongs. It was also the place where the On Point Kings spray-painted Marzipan, then glued her to Homsar and left them for dead.
In Main Page 16, The Stick is decorated with tinsel, ornaments, and a star for Decemberween.
In labor day, Strong Bad accidentally breaks part of The Stick off while giving it a high-five. Curiously, the piece that broke off was never seen before that particular toon, and hasn't been seen since.
In army, when Homestar gives his troops a pep-talk by The Stick, The Cheat mysteriously pops out from the side of The Stick, though the viewer previously had no idea he was there.
In different town, Strong Bad imagines the Stick as a "Big Ol' Tree" that would try to eat everyone except The Cheat and himself (and possibly Strong Mad).
In Cheat Commandos, The Stick is made up to look like a satellite dish.
In Happy Hallow-day, The Stick is referred to as a twig by Marzipan.
In Jibblies 2, The Stick is dressed as Lowly Worm from the Busytown books for Halloween. Strong Bad and Homestar both inexplicably state their hatred of The Stick to it.
In hiding, The Stick is shown as Strong Mad's preferred hiding spot.
In Homestar Ruiner, Strong Bad calls the Stick "beautiful".
In Strong Badia the Free, The Stick briefly becomes a minor country known as Sticktenstein.
In Baddest of the Bands, Strong Bad covers The Stick with Z-covered toilet paper in order to make Coach Z look responsible for vandalism, calling back to one of his songs with the Two-O Duo, "Let's TP The Stick".
In Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective, it plays the last surviving specimen of the Stickanee Tree, whose flower is needed for a formula to save the rainforest. Strong Bad as Dangeresque has to cut off a piece of The Stick so that he can grow another flower for Sultry Buttons.
In A Death Defying Decemberween, The Stick is placed on top of a snowman that some of the characters are building.
In imaginary, a younger The Stick is seen sporting a single green leaf.
