Two More Eggs
From Homestar Runner Wiki
Two More Eggs is a mini-series of shorts produced by The Brothers Chaps for Disney XD's YouTube channel under the production company Citywide Hoop Champs Inc..
The series debuted on June 23, 2015 with the release of the first three episodes, a trailer, an official press release, and coverage on multiple media outlets. It was announced that each new episode would be released on Tuesday of every week. Mostly being over a minute long, each episode centers on an individual character (e.g. "Dooble" or "Hot Dip") or a group of characters (e.g. "CGI Palz" or "Hector & Kovitch" or "Trauncles") and has no overarching plot or complexity. Matt Chapman claims that he and Mike worked with Disney with the same autonomy as with Homestar Runner.
On March 4, 2016, it was announced that Two More Eggs was renewed for a second season, which premiered June 13, 2016.

- This short was released one day late; most likely due to the announcement of the 24-hour marathon of Two More Eggs on Disney XD.
- This short was released one day early.
- This short was "released" for the Huffington Post on December 22, 2015 as a first look.

Fun Facts
Trivia
- On December 22, 2015 at 12:00am ET/PT, Disney XD aired a 27-hour marathon of all of Two More Eggs season one on repeat, with eleven of them debuting during the marathon.
- In Vox Interview - 6 Oct 2015, The Brothers Chaps say that "Dooble: Dooblie Doo" wasn't actually the first Dooble cartoon they made. His name wasn't Dooble, and when he sang the song in "Dooble: The Driver", they made the song into its own cartoon.
- This implies that the shorts were released out of order.
- Matt Chapman mentions The Joshow Show in the same interview, before the short was released, saying it was about "a down-on-his-luck dad trying to do YouTube videos". He says it's their "first foray into live action".
- It is likely that Disney XD is writing the video descriptions, as there have been a few mistakes.
- Dooble's quote in "Cake Show", "Can you still see me?", is misquoted as "Can you see [me] now?".
- The band "Beard-antler" from "Dooble: She Whispered", is misspelled as "Beard-Antler".
- Francis Sweetmouth is said to be a hamster in the video description, but he is actually a gopher, revealed in "Dooble: Cake Show".
Dubbed Versions
French: Quoi 2 n'œufs ?
- Despite having the exact same dialogue, "Dooble: Dooblie Doo" is given a French dub.
- The phrase "Not 4 Momz" is essentially translated to "Not for Adults".
- "Hector & Kovitch: Buy This Game" is based on the US version.
- In "Dooble: Newscarsting", Meredith is silent.
- In the English version of "Hot Dip: Sitcom", Brianca's dialogue at the end is subtitled. However, the French dub blurs the text out rather than adding the translated subtitles used for other visual gags.
Greek: Δύο Αυγά Μάτια
- The titles of the episodes remain in English. Interestingly, "Dooble: Newscarsting" has been correctly spelled as "Newscasting", and "Trauncles: Not Done" is lowercased to "Not done".
- The Greek dub of "Hector & Kovitch: Buy This Game" uses the video from the US version, but the audio is translated from the UK version.
