| Compy, Inc is the name of the company that manufactured the Compy 386 and the Lappy 486. The name probably has multiple real-world references. The loading screen for the game Population: Tire indicates a parody of Commodore International. The name "Compy" and the overall look of the computer itself is somewhat evocative of Compaq Computer Corporation. The logo is reminiscent of the IBM logo. | various emails |

| Discount Flashback Warehouse, run by Strong Bad, deals in flashbacks at low prices. You can get flashbacks from "this season, last season, even stuff (he) just made up!". At some point in '04, there was a special sale in the Homestar Runner Store, "Strong Bad's Weekend Bargains." On the page explaining the sale, it said, "I'm like Discount Bargains Warehouse over here," obviously a reference to the DFW. | flashback, Store |

| Freshley's is a Free Country, USA shoe company. The box for Freshley's shoes is white with the words "Freshley's" written in orange. According to Strong Bad, the name is appropriate, because they are "about the freshest shoes you can imagine." It is unknown if they are related to Mrs. Freshley's pastries. The logo resembles that of the Shaw's grocery chain, as well as the logo for FreshDirect, an online grocery purveyor. | anything, time capsule |

| Kertified Klown Kare is a medical service devoted exclusively to treating clown-related injuries.

According to their business card, they provide services for pie injuries, giant foot problems, wacky malaria, and grease paint poisoning. | long pants |

Manolios has a flair for sales, except his stock is somewhat less than functional: he showcases a broken VCR and a smashed VHS tape in his Easter egg "commercial" for Lectro-pawn. His catchphrase, muttered in tiny letters after his more bold sales pitches, is "or something like that." | Teen Girl Squad Issue 10 |
| Metalmation is the company responsible for the first (and only) episode of Limozeen: "but they're in space!".
