	The '''Homestar Runner universe''' is the [[Fictional universe\|fictional realm]] in which the characters of the [[Homestar Runner (body of work)\|Homestar Runner]] body of work live and breathe, as created chiefly by [[The Brothers Chaps]]. Within the main universe are [[Homestar Runner]], [[Strong Bad]], and the other main characters living in [[Free Country, USA]]. Their universe is much like our own; for example, they live in houses, eat food, go to work, watch TV, use the Internet, play sports, celebrate [[Holidays\|holidays]], and do other normal things. At the same time, there are certain elements of the universe that show that they are in a cartoon; for example, through [[cartoon physics]], [[Homsar]] can survive being crushed by a [[Heavy Lourde\|giant weight]], objects can appear from [[Hammerspace]], characters can [[Fourth Wall Breaks\|break the fourth wall]], and sometimes [[Duplicate Characters\|more than one of the same character]] are on the screen at the same time. In a body of work as large as The Brothers Chaps have created, complete continuity throughout every cartoon is almost impossible to maintain, leading to various [[Inconsistencies within the Homestar Runner universe\|inconsistencies]].

Variations of the main Homestar Runner universe feature the main characters in altered versions of themselves. It is strongly implied that the [[Old-Timey]] and [[20X6]] variations exist as the past and future histories within the continuity of the main universe. The [[Teenage Character Variations|high school]], [[Middle School Character Variations|middle school]], and [[Free Petry Dish, USA Character Variations|microscopic]] variations may be an extension of this, depending on how reliable Strong Bad's so-called doodle memory is. However, the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[alternate universe]] blurs the lines between the main universe, the sub-universes, and the universe variations, featuring them as existing all at once.

* [[Old-Timey]] — Cartoons in the style of 1930s black-and-white animation.
* [[20X6]] — The Homestar Runner universe as a stereotypical [[Anime|anime]], featuring futuristic technology and [[Challenge|challenges]].
* [[Puppet Stuff]] — The main characters are occasionally featured as [[Puppet Character Variations|puppet versions]] of themselves.
* [[Storybook World]] — The entire body of work began with the characters in book form. This alternate version of the main universe depicts the characters in the [[Storybook Character Variations|style]] of the [[Original Book]] written by [[Mike Chapman]] and [[Craig Zobel]]. Strong Bad often tells stories in this world in his attempts at [[History according to Strong Bad|historical revisionism]].
* [[Powered by The Cheat]] — The Cheat's poorly animated version of the main universe in which everything always works out well for him. He apparently does the voices for his toons.
* [[The Homestar Runner Mysfit-steries]] — A [[Hanna-Barbera]]-esque cartoon representing Strong Bad's memories of [[high school]].
* [[Xeriouxly Forxe]] — The eponymous toon presents [[Xeriouxly Forxe Character Variations|"darker and edgier"]] versions of all the main characters.
* [[Yonder Website]] — A parody of children's programming, featuring [[Yonder Website Character Variations|simplistic character designs]] and soothing narration from Strong Bad.
* Several other [[Minor Character Variations|minor character variations]] have also been created over time.
