Easter egg

From Homestar Runner Wiki

An Easter Egg of a Homestar Runner cartoon is a hidden feature that is only accessible by a hidden mouse click, a keypress or by waiting a while after the toon is apparently over.

Most of the recent Homestar Runner flash animations feature Easter Eggs. These are most prominent in Strong Bad Emails, but are becoming more common in all cartoons on the site. Most are activated by clicking a specific spot of the video.

Finding Easter Eggs

The easiest way to find these easter eggs is by following a few simple steps:

• Click on the video so keypresses are accepted by the video.
• Continually press, or hold down, the "Tab" key on your keyboard to cycle through all click zones.

When a border surrounds an unexpected part of the animation, it is probably a hot spot for an Easter Eggs. Either press the "Enter" (or "Return") key or click on the spot to activate the Easter Egg.

Note that some Easter eggs do not do anything immediately. Almost all the Halloween cartoons include Homsar in a later scene. Some, such as dragon, also include the egg in a later scene.
