'''"Everybody Everybody"''' is a simple phrase highly connected with [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]], often used to refer to the [[Main Characters|main characters]] or idiosyncratically as a replacement for a single "everybody" in a sentence. The phrase has been variously punctuated with a separating comma, exclamation points after both words, or no special punctuation at all.

The prominence and recognizability of "Everybody, Everybody" is due to its usage in a song of the same name. A simple earworm composed of a brief [[Casio Keyboards|synthesizer loop]] accompanied by childlike voices singing "Everybody, everybody!" (the phrase is repeated six times, for a total of 12 "everybody"s), the song was featured in [[Old New Intro|an introductory animation]] for [[homestarrunner.com]] — at first playing automatically, then prominently linked from the [[Index Page|index page]] — that greeted visitors to the site for nearly 20 years. As explained in [[retroCRUSH Interview|an interview]], the singing is actually [[The Brothers Chaps]]' voices sped up to be higher-pitched, inspired by the Japanese children's chorus in the "<span class="plainlinks">[[Gamera March]]</span>" (which was famously parodied in ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]''). "Everybody Everybody" has frequently been used as a theme song (more so than [[Theme Song Video|another early attempt at a theme song]]) or [[Catchphrases|slogan]] for the site and body of work as a whole.
