''From the [[modeling]] [[modeling|DVD commentary]]:''

<blockquote>'''MATT:''' I sing that "Can you handle my style no you can't handle my style" song a lot. I think maybe I sang it ''before'' it was a Strong Bad Email song even.<br />
'''MIKE:''' Probably. You tend to sing songs with lyrics that have "style" in them.<br />
'''MATT:''' Styles upon styles, Mike.</blockquote>
The word '''"style"''' is frequently used in [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]], carrying a variety of meanings. Although regularly used with the standard definitions of "manner of doing something" or "design and fashion", "style" is just as often appended to adjectives (in a manner similar to -[[Type|type]]) or used as a noun with a positive connotation but indeterminate meaning. Its consistent presence in the vernacular makes it one of the most common word [[Running Gags|running gags]].
