Welkom op de Homestar Runner Wiki!

Hallo daar, welkom op de Homestar Runner Wiki, een samenwerkingsproject dat als doel heeft te schrijven over alles wat met Homestar Runner te maken heeft! Aangezien jij Nederlands praat, willen we jullie een speciaal welkom geven! Hoewel al onze artikels in het Engels geschreven zijn, hebben een aantal vrijwilligers een hoopje Homestar Runner toons ondertiteld zodat je ze gewoon in je eigen taal kan kijken! Een van onze doelen is om Homestar Runner toegankelijk te maken voor internationaal publiek, dus we zijn blij dat je deze pagina hebt gevonden en hopen dat het je zal helpen om plezier te beleven aan onze favoriete internetcartoon. Als je vragen hebt, stel ze dan in het Engels of Nederlands op deze pagina. Merk ook op dat hoewel dit artikel in het Nederlands geschreven is, ongeveer alle links naar Engelse artikels leiden.

Een inleiding op Homestar Runner

Strong Mad, Strong Bad, De Cheat, en Homestar Runner

Homestar Runner (vaak afgekort als HR, HSR of H*R) is voor het grootste deel een geanimeerde Flash-cartoon die bekeken kan worden op homestarrunner.com. De site werd in 1999 gemaakt door Mike en Matt Chapman.

De cartoons gaan meestel over het personage Homestar Runner, een ietwat rare atleet met een goed hart. Het personage Strong Bad daarentegen echter is populairder bij fans van de site, vooral dan door zijn bijna-wekelijkse Strong Bad E-mails, korte cartoons waarin hij echte e-mail van kijkers beantwoordt. Strong Bad werkt nauw samen met zijn sidekick De Cheat en laat zijn broer Strong Mad al het vuile werkt doen. Samen zitten ze voortdurend Strong Bads vreemde en voortdurend depressieve broer Strong Sad te irriteren. Vele onderdelen van de site—|muziek, spellen, hoofdpagina's, enzovoort—zijn gebaseerd op dingen uit Strong Bad E-mails.

Verschillende andere personages zijn vaak te vinden in de wereld: Homestars natuur-liefhebbend vriendinnetje Marzipan, wiens antwoordapparaat een geliefd doelwit is voor pesttelefoontjes, Homestars beste vriend Pom Pom, de verbaal mindervalide coach Coach Z, de eigenaar van de buurtwinkel Bubs, en zijn Poopsmith. Daarnaast is er nog Homsar, een raar pratend personage dat ontstaan is uit een typfout in een slecht geschreven mail naar Strong Bad. Veel van deze personages hebben tegenhangers.

Another popular feature on the website is Strong Bad's crudely drawn comic series Teen Girl Squad. The comic parodies four archetypal high-school girls and their equally archetypal quest for attractiveness, popularity, and love, which is continually frustrated by their violent deaths in every episode.

The website, built mostly out of Flash animations, is filled with hidden Easter eggs: if a certain area on the page is mouse-clicked at the right time, an additional cartoon or screen will appear. For example, in the Strong Bad Email studying, viewers can view a hidden Web page about a book that Strong Bad mentions. Also, at the end of the e-mail vacation, you can click on one of five postcards to hear what Strong Bad thinks of the particular place he has visited.

Nearly every Monday, some sort of update, such as a short, a longer cartoon, a Strong Bad email, an online Flash game, or real-life merchandise like DVDs and action figures, is added to the website.

How to watch toons with subtitles

The recommended way to watch the subtitles is using the Greasemonkey All-in-one script. You need to install Firefox and Greasemonkey for this. This script will give you the option to automatically display subtitles when you watch Homestar Runner cartoons. For installation and setup instructions for this script, see below.

If you don't want to install anything on your computer, you can use our local viewer to watch most subtitled toons.

Once you've decided whether to install the All-in-one script or use the local viewer, you can visit the list of toons with Dutch subtitles to select a toon to watch. Any toon on this page has been translated into Dutch. If you've installed the Greasemonkey script, click on the name of the toon to watch it, or if you want to use the local viewer, click the link labeled "local viewer" next to the name of the toon. If you would like to watch toons without translated subtitles, you can find them at the toons menu at homestarrunner.com.

Then, just click on this link to install the script.

To upgrade a new version when it's updated, just click the install link again – it'll automatically replace the old version. The script will automatically check for updates for you if the option is enabled.

Configuring preferences

Once you've installed the script, navigate to homestarrunner.com. You should see an icon in the upper left-hand corner of the window. Click this to bring up a preferences menu — it should look similar to the one at the right.
