'''Frank Bennedetto''' is a [[Popcorn|popcorn]] machine who joined the [[Homestarmy]]. He suffered grave injuries during [[The Battle of Strong Badia]], and his image has been used to advance the cause of the Homestarmy.

As a [[Pseudocharacters|pseudocharacter]], Bennedetto does not speak and rarely, if ever, moves of his own volition. Characters like [[Homestar Runner]] still treat him as a person, interpreting his popcorn-making as [[Puke|upchuck]].

Bennedetto appears to be a vintage model of a [https://www.gopresto.com/products/products.php?stock=04820 Presto 04820 PopLite] [[popcorn maker]].

Real life Frank

Bennedetto was seen among the ranks of the Homestarmy in 2004, although he had not paid the customary five-bucks enlistment fee. Frank, unfortunately, was the lone [[Death|casualty]] of [[The Battle of Strong Badia]] in the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[army]] — kicked by [[Strong Bad]], a crashing sound was heard when he landed (albeit without any visible damage).

Although Homestar believed Bennedetto to have died, later toons have been ambiguous as to his status:

* In [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]], he is seen behind a fence as part of a collection of stolen goods.
* The [[2011 Calendar|January page of the 2011 calendar]] features a parody of the [[National League of Families POW/MIA flag|Prisoners of War/Missing In Action flag]], depicting Bennedetto silhouetted in black in front of Strong Badia, surrounded by the words "BENNEDETTO: Neva Forgive Action".
* A "memorial statue" of Bennedetto was at the Homestarmy's booth at the Vaguely Military Career Fair in [[more armies]]; this 'statue' is indistinguishable from Bennedetto himself.
* In [[Strong Badia the Free]], Homestar states that he does not want to see one of the Bennedetto siblings [[Strong Badia the Free Responses (Marzistar)|die like his brother Frank]].

* On [[Decemberweenvent Calendar|day 24]] of the [[Decemberweenvent Calendar]], Bennedetto appears as an angel in Homestar's update to the [[Labor Dabor]] song.

Bennedetto has additionally been featured in propaganda posters for the Homestarmy. A [[Wallpaper|wallpaper]] featuring several Homestarmy posters includes one with several shadowy figures standing above his corpse, with the words "DON'T LET THEM!" written above.

The [[Puppet Character Variations|puppet version]] of Bennedetto is a Presto PopLite of the same variety the toon version is modeled after. Holding the rank of Third-[[Style]] Private, he joined Colonel Homestar Runner in an effort to ensure that "nobody or their brother does any type of work at all" on [[Holidays|Labor Day]].

== <span class="mw-headline"> Family </span> ==

The popcorn popper was presumably taken from [[Marzipan]], as Homestar returns to her kitchen to deliver the news of Frank's injuries to his mother, [[Mrs. Bennedetto]] (Marzipan's microwave).

Several more members of the Bennedetto family are seen on the draft board in [[Strong Badia the Free]]. Little Johnny (a toaster) and Ramon (a waffle maker) are said by Homestar to be brothers of Frank. Tom (a blender), Marty (a 4h pencil) and Hank "the Tank" (a refrigerator) are also present, relation unknown.
