Fun Facts

Trivia

  • This, Main Page 7 and Main Page 23 are the only main pages where Homestar does not stand to the extreme right of the screen.
  • By clicking on each icon, dragging your mouse off the Flash section and then letting go, you can turn on all of the different animations at once, and they will stay on.
  • The "Channel 4" logo that appears at the lower-right corner of the screen is called a bug.

Inside References

  • "More than 2 Problems???" is a reference to Spin 'n' Say.
  • Strong Bad's face when you move your mouse over characters ("I shoulda won all those times!") is similar in style (but not color) to the one on the Old Error Page.

Real-World References

  • The projection of the H*R logo onto the sky is a reference to the Batsignal from the Batman franchise.
  • The comment on Melonade being 'over $2 a gallon' is a play on the rising gasoline prices around the world, and the ways news sources report them.
