{Homestar Runner stands in a field, with a clapperboard obstructing the view. The screen is overlaid with a video camera frame including a blinking red "Record" light.}

[edit] Fun Facts
[edit] Trivia
- Cherry Greg was voiced by long-time collaborator Dan Kubis in this toon. In Fluffy Puff Commercial, he was voiced by co-creator Craig Zobel.
- All of the incorrect URLs Homestar mentions in the toon actually exist, or have at some point; most were created by fans in response to this toon.
- something.com, established in the 1990s, usually contains nothing but the text "Something." on an otherwise blank index page.
- usshomestarrunner.com was a Homestar Runner fansite and later a forum, until mid-2011 when the domain name was not renewed. The domain was held by an unrelated site until 2020. It currently redirects to the homepage for Come On, Fhqwhpods!, a Homestar Runner fan podcast.
- imabigmoronwhocantrememberhislines.com was a Homestar Runner fansite created by a Hofstra University web design student hosted on the University's server. It was briefly updated from 2003 to 2004, going offline in 2008. The URL is currently used by a website unrelated to Homestar Runner.
- homestarrunner.net was initially a simple landing page directing fellow fans to homestarrunner.com. The site later expanded to hosting a Homestar Runner fan forum from January through August 2003, even interviewing Matt Chapman in May 2003, before shutting it down and reverting to a simple landing page. In 2007, the site was revamped as a fansite network. As of 2008, the URL redirects to the Homestar Runner Wiki.
- The Spanish dialogue that Homestar Runner says translates to "Welcome to Homestarrunner dot com. Do you know Miguel? Yes! We are good friends!" It is the kind of phrase one would see in an introductory Spanish textbook.
- Homestar Runner wears a randomly selected costume in Take 25, including:
- Naked (pixelated)
- Witch
- Sailor
- Clown
[edit] Remarks
- The Clapper Loader may lack visible arms because the clapperboard appears to operate without anyone holding it.
- When Homestar talks in Spanish, his speech impediment is much lighter. For example, when he says, "homestarrunner.com", he does so without a problem.
- In the same take, "Miguel" may be referencing Mike Chapman, considering that Miguel is the Spanish equivalent of Michael.
- By the time they get to take 126, the clapperboard states that they are on roll 11. Assuming that they are filming with standard 1000-ft, 35mm rolls, which average about ten minutes of footage per roll, by this point they would have been trying to film scene one for nearly two hours. This makes sense because it is take 126, and each take would probably be a minute or less.
- Homestar's shirt contains the earlier design color.
- At the very end of the toon, there are 21 extra frames that don't do anything.
- In the Spanish dialogue, Homestar should pronounce the name "Homestar Runner punto com", as "punto" is the Spanish name for the period mark.
[edit] Goofs
- When "Its dot com" appears on the screen, it contains a punctuation error: It should be "It's dot com" because "It's" is a contraction of "It is".
[edit] Inside References
- The format of this cartoon is very similar to Fluffy Puff Commercial, where Cherry Greg also has problems getting Homestar to read his lines correctly.
- This is another instance of Homestar Runner peeking.
[edit] DVD Version
- You can choose which costume Homestar wears in Take 25 by using the angle button:
- Clown
- Witch
- Naked
- Sailor
[edit] YouTube Version
- The video is titled "Welcome Speech".
- All of Homestar's alternate costumes play in sequence. Take 25 is the clown outfit, followed by the witch (take 29), sailor (take 36), and finally naked Homestar (take 43). Cherry Greg says a variation of "no" each time, and Homestar only replies "What?" after the last one.
- The A Jorb Well Done and Homestar Talker icons are replaced with Fish Eye Lens and TROGDOR!, respectively.
