With such an expansive bank of cartoons that rely so heavily on whimsical humor, it would be near impossible for [[The Brothers Chaps]] to keep the [[Homestar Runner universe]] completely consistent and have total continuity between cartoons.  Because of this large size and humorous nature, various '''inconsistencies''' occur throughout the [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|body of work]].  These are usually very minor. According to the site's [[FAQ]], people often ask The Brothers Chaps about inconsistencies; to these questions they answer that "It was either done on purpose or [[TVTropes:Main/MST3KMantra|it's just a cartoon and you probably shouldn't worry about it]]."

** When trying to recruit The Cheat to assist him in overthrowing the King of Town, Strong Bad can ask The Cheat to remember the good times they've had, such as stapling a grilled cheese sandwich to Homestar's face earlier that day. Shortly after, Homestar can be seen in the background with the sandwich in question stuck to his face. However, Homestar had been clearly featured in the episode prior to that moment, with no sandwich on his face. The only possible time when this action could have taken place was between Strong Bad's rally, the last time Homestar had been featured on screen, and Strong Bad's conversation with The Cheat, during which neither would have had the opportunity to pull off this prank.

Is Bubs' right? Or is it left?
There's no style guide. We don't have a continuity person working on set.
Matt Chapman, geddup noise commentary
We're gonna play "Name That Inconsistency" later on if you want to join us.
Strong Sad, Sbemail 200 Fakeout

With such an expansive bank of cartoons that rely so heavily on whimsical humor, it would be near impossible for the Brothers Chaps to keep the Homestar Runner universe completely consistent and have total continuity between cartoons. Because of this large size and humorous nature, various inconsistencies occur throughout the body of work. These are usually very minor. According to the site's FAQ, people often ask the Brothers Chaps about inconsistencies; to these questions they answer that "It was either done on purpose or it's just a cartoon and you probably shouldn't worry about it."
