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: the character may later appear alive, often with no explanation.
Appearances
- 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. The Heavy Lourde is dropped on him again on the Homsar Main Page.
- In the Strong Bad Email origins, he and Marzipan are glued together and "left for dead" at The Stick, even though neither one actually dies.
- In the Strong Bad Email pom pom, Kevin wonders what would happen to Pom Pom if he was poked with a pin. Strong Bad decides to try this, except that 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. He even wrote his parents a letter of condolence.
- 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.
- Pom Pom's ghost flies out of his grave on Main Page 7.
- In the Strong Bad Email pom pom, Bubs mentions having "almost died the 15th time."
- In Sample of Style, Mike Chapman rips the cardboard tube that "produces" Bubs' voice. Matt Chapman says that they will have to kill off Bubs, "just like Homeschool Winner". A picture of Bubs' grave then appears.
- In the Strong Bad Email army, Frank Bennedetto "dies", after being kicked by Strong Bad. He is later seen alive in Labor Dabor.
- 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, and sometimes later in the same issue, as seen with Cheerleader in Teen Girl Squad Issue 7.
- 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.
- Homestar is in heaven on Main Page 6 and is seen in a zombie-like form on Main Page 7.
- 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".
- 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 Bad is in heaven on Main Page 6 and he rises from his grave on Main Page 7.
- Strong Bad's computers often meet with untimely demises, as seen in gimmicks, virus, and Biz Cas Fri 3. The Tandy 400 returned in ghost form in ghosts.
- According to the e-mail origins, Señor and Mr. Bland were by far the most popular characters until they were crushed by a falling Bubs' Concession Stand.
Strong Sad's Imagined Death
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.
- Strong Sad reveals that he himself dreams of his own death (over and over and over...).
- 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
- As Strong Bad imagines what it would be like if he used fake fingers, you can see a dead Strong Sad behind the couch in one scene. Also, two Easter eggs during this sequence show Strong Sad 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".
- A picture on the first screen shows The Cheat serving a platter with Strong Sad's head on it to Strong Bad.
