This page contains links to websites outside of www.hrwiki.org. These websites may contain crude or vulgar language and/or content. Personal discretion is advised.

8-Bit Theater 3

• In the bloopers for 8-Bit Theater 3, The Cheat is "summoned" in one, and Strong Bad appears on a Mega Man 2 boss screen in another.

Albino Black Sheep

On AlbinoBlackSheep.com, there are many sightings embedded in its user-created flash cartoons. For example, on one particular Animutation, there is a screenshot from "StrongBadZone", where you can hear "STINY! GET ME A DANISH!"

Additionally, the filename of the aforementioned Animutation is a giveaway that the creator is a fan of Homestar Runner. [1]

Other animations on the website that have references in them include:

• Elvis Lives,
• Elvis Not Included
• The Fingertips Project (a song by They Might Be Giants).

Also in a user-created animation, The Lost Smurf's Episode, Strong Bad can be found in the background dancing. This is also on funnyjunk.com.

In Animator vs. Animation Strong Bad's Big Knife is drawn then scribbled out.

Albuquerque: Part 1

In part 1 of the Albuquerque (a song by "Weird Al" Yankovic) animutation collabration, watch during the scene where "Jay Jay the Jet Plane" crashes into the ground and there is a shot of all the people who "died" (except for Colin Mochrie who put his chair in the upright position and folded up his tray table), notice that Stinkoman is one of the people who "died".

AMV Hell 3:The Motion Picture

• In this gigantic montage (1 hour!) of humorous and nonsensical anime clips, Ikari Shinji and Kensuke Aida from Neon Genesis Evangelion can be heard singing the song from an Easter egg in Teen Girl Squad Issue 5 in one segment.

• Additionally, earlier in the video, a segment of the CGNU Fight Song from mascot is played with a clip from Azumanga Daioh.

Arfenhouse Teh Movie 4!!!!

After the parody Pac-Man trailer, a Notepad text document icon is seen talking to a Flash file icon. Another Flash file appears on screen with Strong Bad's facial design, and titled SBEMAIL 48572.SWF.

Artificial High 3

In one scene, the message "Computer Over. Virus = very yes" shows up. In another scene, Strong Bad is checking an unknown email.

Bonus Stage

• In "Car" (v1), there is an Easter egg at the end. Click on the note on the box. There is a reference to Homestar Runner on the note.
• In "Recap", there is a passing reference to Strong Bad making video games. This episode came out not long after the email video games, so that's probably what it refers to.
• In "Morbid", Joel dies and goes to hell. Phil and Elly then die so they can rescue him, and while there, they meet Strong Bad, Homestar, and Coach Z. Apparently, Strong Bad got sick of the 'boxing glove emails' and jumped into a lake of fire, and Homestar and Coach Z followed. After they rescue Joel, Phil starts typing on a Compy 386 about how Bubs won the race, and Strong Sad shows up. (This episode was later removed, then changed in order to avoid legal trouble.) Despite the episode being changed, the season 2 intro still features the removed Strong Sad clip.
• In "Rivals", Joel says he wants to move to Atlanta where "the cartoon people" live. He is probably referring to The Brothers Chaps.
• In the Easter egg in "2 Pack", they prank call someone who is supposed to be Strong Bad, but turns out to just be someone doing an impression of Strong Bad.
• In Virtual Candy, there is a commercial for a candy called "Kandy Commandoz". A small disclaimer flashes across the screen proclaiming "Not a ripoff of Homestar Runner", referring to Cheat Commandos.
• In "Five Minute Story Hour", there is a laptop called Lappy.
• In "Joel Fights Crime, Phil Rewrites Time", Phil calls George Washington "Geroge", referring to cartoon.

Bush Bash

On this flash animation at tlchicken.com, you can see a picture of President Bush and a flaming Earth that says "Burninating the Peasants since 2000".

A Cartoon About Nothing!

• In "Stickman Vs. The Dot (New Version)", there are two Teen Girl Squad references. When the shark chomps into the cannon, the caption "Chomp!" is displayed, complete with AhnbergHand font. Also, when The Dot erases the shark, it displays the caption "ERASE'd!"
• In "The Fun, Fun, Fun Cartoon Show!", one of the "subliminal messages" is "Get ye flask." A list of subliminal messages can be seen in an easter egg at the end of the cartoon.

Cartoon'd

The name itself is a reference to Teen Girl Squad, especially its tendency to add a "-'d" to the end of words, and in the second episode the cartoon is affected by a virus. There's a reference to Homestar Runner in which one of the main characters is stuck on a page from StrongBadZone with the caption "Your head a splode" then he is knocked over. Also, another main character is stuck on a desktop where we can see a Homestar icon.

Homestar Runner appeared at the end, mistaking Taco-Man for Strong Bad. The Paper also came down at the end of the cartoon. Watch it here.

• In Ask Taco-Man #3, a parody of the 1940's Public Service Announcements, the narrator tells Billy not to address Taco-Man as "Strongbad."(sic)

Evil Josh & Billy

• In Episode 4, E-vil, the phrase "It's Dot Com!" can be seen written on a wall.
