Button Effects

  • Toons — Homestar holds up a vision testing chart.
  • Games — Pulsating red dots appear onscreen. Homestar says, "Hey, are you okay? How many fingers am I holding up?"
  • Characters — Homestar's shirt changes — first to a Peacey P shirt, then to a blue Fila shirt, then to his duckie shirt, then back to his original star shirt.
  • Downloads — Strong Bad walks through the Field in his underwear shouting, "My pants! Come here, my pants! Has anybody seen my pants?"
  • Store — Glasses are placed on the viewer, allowing for better vision. Homestar's shirts are still blurred.
  • Email — Strong Sad appears, holding up Strong Bad's pants and saying, "Well, lookie what I found!"

Fun Facts

Explanations

  • The page title, "20/200", is the visual acuity measurement used as the threshold for legal blindness.
  • The eye chart held up by Homestar is known as a "Tumbling E" chart.
  • When the glasses are put on, Homestar's shirt logos are still blurred because logos, trademarked designs, and certain words on clothing are often obscured by the producers of visual media (usually television or music videos) when they don't want the logos, designs, or words visible in the final product.

Trivia

  • The vision chart Homestar holds up reads:
E W M
3 M E W E
WME3WEW

3MWEM3EMEW3WEM

Remarks

  • By using the Store button after selecting a button which triggers an animation (or by using the main page glitch), you can watch the scene unblurred.
  • The main page has been redesigned slightly:
    • The buttons have a new, shinier look.
    • There is a little more space in the center.
    • The colors on the striped sides are darker and their gradient is more prominent.
    • The shadows are larger and more realistic.
  • During the Games effect, Homestar's mouth animation is off.
  • The sky's design is the one used in the chair and Drive-Thru.
  • This main page lacks a loading screen.
  • The weeklies' pop-up windows are not blurred.
  • Strong Bad is seen wearing underwear, but in New Boots, he claims he doesn't wear them. However, he does wear underwear in senior prom and stand-up.
  • This main page does not appear to be included in the Main Page randomizer.

Fixed Goofs

Goofs

Legs?
  • The Weeklies buttons' text, when rolled over, are not in the correct spot.
  • The logos on Homestar's shirt extend outside the shirt.
  • On Main Pages 15, 22, and 24, at the main page quick links button (in the bottom left corner), the main page 24 button overlaps the white stripe.
  • As the glasses are being put on and taken off, the scene is unblurred even outside the lenses.
  • Strong Bad's legs don't go through the holes in his underwear, but instead seem to go behind his torso.

Glitches

  • The newbutton.swf file slightly overlaps the frames of the glasses.
  • Main Page 24 is the only main page that currently does not function correctly on the Nintendo Wii and PlayStation 3's web browsers. The text on the links on the left side of the screen is missing, and the links are not clickable. The links also do not produce the roll-over effects either. The Main Page selection in the bottom left-hand corner is missing entirely. All of the buttons on the top right-hand corner are missing as well. Homestar also lacks the star on his shirt, and the blur effects are not visible (but the page is slightly faded). Strong Bad is also legless.
    • This is due to the Wii and PS3's web browsers only supporting Flash Player 7 and lower content, while Flash 8 or higher is necessary to do the blurring effects found here.
  • Even when the glasses are 'on', Homestar's shirt still appears blurry.
