The Yello Dello
From Homestar Runner Wiki
- This article is about the character. For the toon, see In Search of the Yello Dello.
The Yello Dello (sometimes hyphenated The Yello-Dello) is, according to the Steve Irwin-like host of the Discover Network, "the most rare and beautiful bird in this entire cartoon", and according to Strong Bad, "one hot bird". Found only in North-Eastern Potamia, the Yello Dello is a large, yellow ostrich-like creature with inexplicably human legs ending in red high-heels. She eats clam meat and seems to live atop a large mountain.
She is capable of intelligent speech (and does so in a New York accent), but is more inclined to turn vicious than to talk things out, as Homestar found out to his cost. Despite her masculine-sounding voice, Marzipan and Strong Sad refer to the Yello Dello as a female.
Homestar Runner, Pom Pom, and Strong Sad embarked on a quest to acquire her as a gift for Marzipan's birthday. Although they considered shooting her, Homestar and Pom Pom were able to capture her alive after Strong Sad bored her to sleep. Unfortunately, Strong Bad had told Marzipan of Homestar's present ahead of time, and Homestar made the mistake of greeting Marzipan with a roast turkey. Believing the turkey to be the Yello Dello, Marzipan slapped Homestar and stormed off.
