"You never gave me the five bucks!"

In the Homestar Runner universe, there are several instances of a character's death or near death. As in many cartoons, such deaths are often impermanent, when the character later appears alive, often with no explanation.

Appearances

• Homsar

In the Strong Bad Email homsar, Strong Bad "kills" him with the Heavy Lourde at the request of Vinnie C. Although The Brothers Chaps intended at first for him to be killed, he was later revealed to be alive but seriously injured, in Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 5.

In the Strong Bad Email origins, he and Marzipan are glued together and "left for dead" at The Stick, even though neither actually die.

• Pom Pom

In the Strong Bad Email pom pom, Kevin implies that Pom Pom would be harmed if he was poked with a pin. Strong Bad decides to try this, except he would also be blindfolded and Pom Pom would be set on fire with the BMW Lighter. He believes that Pom Pom exploded in "a big fiery ball that was visible from space", when in reality he got a "severe pummeling" by Pom Pom.

In Where's The Cheat?, Strong Bad calls Marzipan and pretends to be Homestar Runner, and he tells her that he got mad and killed Pom Pom.

• Bubs

In the Strong Bad Email pom pom, Bubs mentions having "almost died the 15th time."

• Frank Bennedetto

In the Strong Bad Email army, Frank Bennedetto "dies", after being kicked by Strong Bad. He is later seen alive in Labor Dabor.

• Teen Girl Squad

The main characters in Teen Girl Squad are killed off nearly every episode in a variety of ways, yet they always come back alive in the next issue.

• Homestar Runner

In the Strong Bad Email the show, Homestar says, "But it turned out I didn't die."

In Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 2.0, Strong Bad as "Detective Everybody" said Homestar was shot for being too stupid.

• The Cheat

The Cheat has his own song, The Cheat is Not Dead.

In the Strong Bad email bedtime story, The Cheat's vitals are tested after being bug-bombed in order to go to sleep. Strong Bad also says "If we're lucky, the Cheat will wake up alive the next morning".

• Old-Timey

In Parsnips A-Plenty, Old-Timey Strong Bad falls off a cliff. He is later revealed to be in Hell in an Easter egg.

In That A Ghost, all of the main characters are reduced to skeletons, and Old-Timey Bubs pokes his head out of a grave asking Strong Man to "please keep it down".

Strong Sad's Imagined Death

Is he dead?

Strong Sad's Imagined Death is a running gag throughout the Homestar Runner universe, in which various characters either imagine or believe that Strong Sad has died.

• In Search of the Yello Dello Commentary

Strong Sad reveals that he himself dreams of his own death (over and over and over...).

• A Folky Tale

Strong Sad "faints", making Coach Z believe he killed him.

• Email caffeine

Strong Bad concludes that his "test subject" was dead, and also adopted.

• Email impression

In complimenting The Cheat's costume, Coach Z says "It's as if Strong Sad was still alive and with us today!"

• Email fingers

In two Easter eggs that take place in Strong Bad's imagination, you can see a dead Strong Sad behind the couch, and later stuffed inside a locker and a soapbox.

• Email personal favorites

Strong Bad types "I swear on Strong Sad's grave" in the unaired email "Tape Leg 2".
