The Brothers Chaps have participated in several side projects independent of Homestar Runner, especially during hiatuses.
Websites
- Mellow Mushroom — Mike and Matt designed this website in 2001 for a chain of pizza restaurants headquartered in Georgia. The layout, navigation, and sound effects are similar to that of Homestar Runner, and the voices of the brothers and Missy Palmer are very distinctive.
- Thorax Corporation — The Brothers Chaps, primarily Matt, created this website for a fictional company, and hid a link to the site in one of the Fortune Cookies. The Thorax Corporation is made up of stereotypical, overly aggressive domain-name owners who offer domain-name registration services while bombarding visitors with popups and ads.
- The Great World of Sound — The Brothers Chaps made this fake website to promote the film they produced of the same name (see [#Film below]). According to Craig Zobel, it was somewhat inspired by the Thorax Corporation website (see [#Thorax above]).
- Eric Conveys an Emotion — The Brothers Chaps guest-starred in two of Eric's "Adventure Edition" photo galleries, "The Football Game" and "The Interview".
- Ron Planet — A comic strip written by Matt Chapman and Craig Zobel. Accessible from the Videlectrix site's game gallery, by clicking on the Ron Planet blurb on the Duck Guardian 2 box.
- Happy Holidays, Mike Chapman Style — On December 16, 2011, Mike created an animated customer story for email marketing service MailChimp.
- Rick and Morty's Rushed Licensed Adventure — Mike and Jonathan Howe helped create this Rick and Morty Flash game for the Adult Swim website. Similar to Dangeresque Roomisode 1: Behind the Dangerdesque, it is a retro-styled point-and-click adventure game released in four episodes.
- Cosmic Scoundrels
content warning — Starting in early 2014, Matt created this ongoing webcomic along with Andy Suriano. The comic contains Easter eggs in the traditional Homestar style, offsetting the darker, sketchier tone of the other illustrations.
