Store Footer

The footer

The store footer was a small animation at the bottom of every store page. It featured Bubs at his concession stand, doing his "checkitout checkitout" dance from Lookin at a Thing in a Bag (but without sound). The animation changed throughout the day and year. If you clicked on the 'D' in "BUBS' CONCES5ION STAND", Homestar Runner would run in, do his part of the dance, and leave. In the winter theme, Homestar wore his hat from The Best Decemberween Ever.

Images




Flash Scenes

  • After buying something, you were once taken to one of several short Store Thank You Messages. They stopped playing on October 9, 2008.
  • When you looked at your shopping cart, various items would randomly generate small Flash scenes with text on the page, with links to other popular items:
    • Strong Bad standing alone with a "GARBAGE SALE" sign
      STRONG BAD: Oh yeah?! You think that stuff is so great? Well, check out this other crap!!
    • Flicking the lightswitch, with a glowstick:
      THE CHEAT: "They told me to tell you that you'd also like these things.* Meh!" (*translated from the cheat)
    • Dancing at the concession stand:
      BUBS: If you like that stuff, check this junk out!
    • Trogdor chasing a peasant, both drawn in pixel art
      TROGDOR: This other stuff'll really burninate your cottage, peasant.
    • Running in place:
      HOMESTAR RUNNER: Oh hello. Umm... you forgot to buy this other stuff that you like.

Other Places To Buy

Local Business Area Stores

According to a former page on the Store, independent comic book, music/video, and other specialty shops would now have an opportunity to sell H*R merchandise (The Brothers Chaps say that they must never have a sale on the products or have the prices lower than TBC have them marked, to keep sales good). They used to be found with the store locator.

Google Product Search

If you searched for Homestar Runner at Google Shopping (formerly Froogle, then Google Product Search), you could see H*R products being sold at various other stores.

Magazines

Homestar merchandise also turns up in the occasional issue of Previews Magazine (limited on-line version can be seen here), which lists upcoming items available for purchase through local comic stores.

Comic Cons

Some seriously nerdy stuff

Merchandise was available for sale at Comic Conventions and shows around the country throughout 2005. The Homestar Runner booth was staffed by Strong Dad and The Mother Chaps. Those who attended had a chance to win door prizes consisting of autographed merchandise. Freebies were included within every purchase.

DragonCon

Merchandise was also sold at booth #101 in the Exhibitor's Hall for all 4 days of DragonCon in Atlanta, Georgia. The Homestar Runner booth was staffed by the Brothers Chaps, the Family Chaps, and other members of the Homestar crew.

This location was parodied in the short toon TrogdorCon '97.

Telltale Store

Following the Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People announcement, certain items of Strong Bad related merchandise were added to the Telltale Games online store.

Fun Facts

Trivia

  • While loading the musical shirt selection, a message flashed, reading "loading shirtfun".

    • The main pages continued to link to the domain the store sat at in 2004 (http://www.homestarrunner.com/store.html) rather than the current URL.

  • When looking at your shopping cart, the link for Kick the Cheat was still on, instead of it being taken out. However, instead of going to its page, you would get redirected to the shop homepage.
  • There was a typo in the laptop skins description which said "slightly shutgunned".

Inside References
