== Transcript ==

''{Homestar Runner is running across The Field. The singers sing along, as with the [[Old New Intro]].}''

'''SINGERS:''' Everybody! Everybody!

''{The scene starts to skip backwards.}''

'''SINGERS:''' Eh—! Eh—! Eh—!

''{The scene skips backwards faster before a rock version of the Intro takes over. The aspect ratio expands from standard to [[Widescreen|widescreen]]. During the rock intro, it shows [[Xeriouxly Forxe Visuals|slides of the characters]]. In turn, lightning turns the characters into their [[Xeriouxly Forxe Character Variations|Xeriouxly Forxe forms]].}''

'''SINGER:''' Everybody! E-e-e-everybody! 
Everybody! E-e-e-everybody! 
Everybody! E-e-e-everybody! 
Revamped for the nineties! 
So much more exciting!

Pointy elbows and lots of lightning! 
Edgy and angry, so zesty and tangy! 
Reach new demographics 
When nobody asked for it! 

Everybody! E-e-e-everybody! 
Right now!

''{The sides of the screen come together with an explosion. All twelve main characters in Xeriouxly Forxe style appear around the title "HSR Xeriouxly Forxe".}''

'''H. STAR:''' ''{struggling, through gritted teeth}'' Xeriouxly Forxe! ''{turning around}'' Did I xay that right?

'''S. BAD:''' ''{also through gritted teeth}'' Xhut up and just xay your linex! ''{mumbling, in Strong Bad's normal voice}'' Aah, it's really hard to talk like xhix.

''{After a few moments, the viewer is redirected to [[Main Page 21]].}''


== Fun Facts ==


=== Explanations ===

* The whole toon is based on the phenomenon of classic cartoons that have received [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DarkerAndEdgier unnecessarily edgy revamps].


=== Trivia ===

* The [[FeedBurner Page|RSS description]] of this toon is:

<blockquote>Homestar and Strong Bad are BACK like you've never seen them before! Pointier, angrier, pre-teenier!! The 6-12 demographic won't know what hit em when they witness Xeriouxly Forxe, the all-new adventures of Homestar Runner and friends with a bold new look and an edgier style that just screams, "Hey 6-12 demographic! Do you know what hit you? Can you tell our focus group person that you don't know what hit you, please?" With all those X's in the name, it has to be cool!</blockquote>
* This toon marked the first time in nearly five months that [[homestarrunner.com]] received a new toon.
* [[Appearances By All 12 Main Characters|All 12 main characters]] appear in this toon.
* This is the third toon and the first non-[[Strong Bad Email]] toon to be in [[Widescreen|widescreen]] (not counting [[Main Page 22]]).
* This toon has exactly [[666]] frames, though the viewers are redirected to [[Main Page 21]] in frame number 645, and nothing else happens in the extra frames.


=== Remarks ===

* Except for Homsar (who doesn't change at all), every character that normally [[Lack of Visible Arms|lacks visible arms]] gains some sort of appendages (Marzipan gains tentacles) when upgraded.
** The Cheat has the exact opposite happen, as his normal form has visible arms and his "revamped" form does not have limbs of any kind.
* Coach Z and the King of Town have [[Lack of Visible Body Parts|gained visible mouths]].
* Homestar's eyes blink in their usual pattern, even though the video at the beginning is supposedly skipping.
** The background also only slightly skips back and then continues as normal, not matching the audio skip.


=== Goofs ===

* When The Smith raises his axe, a small part of it can be seen through his forehead.


=== Fixed Goofs ===

* After The Poopsmith is transformed, the cutaway to the next character showed The Poopsmith in non-transformed form. This was fixed within a half-hour of release.


=== Inside References ===

* S. Sad has the head of an [[Elephants|elephant]].
* [[Seriously|Xeriouxly]] is in the new name.
* The Cheat used "Ch8t" previously in [[mile]] and [[bedtime story]].
* The [[Teen Girl Squad]] were said to be "revamped for the nineties" in [[HomestarRunner.com: PAY PLUS!]].
* The line "There's new demographics when nobody asked for it" is reminiscent of "The CROSSOVER no one was asking for!" from an Easter egg in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 14]].
* Zoach C's boots bear a similarity to [[Stinkoman]]'s.
* Zoach C's name is a [[Spoonerisms|spoonerism]].
* The [[Explosions|explosion]] behind the logo is the same one used when the [[Visor Robot]] malfunctions in [[Senor Mortgage]].


=== Real-World References ===

* H. Star has [[Doctor Octopus]]-style mechanical arms strapped around his neck.
* S. Bad has a variation of the [[Batman]] emblem on his mask.


=== Fast Forward ===

* Soon after this toon was released, Xeriouxly Forxe got its own Main Page, [[Main Page 26]], where they would give edgy variations to [[Marshie]] and [[The Stick]].


== YouTube Version ==

* A demo of the button effects on Main Page 26 plays after the toon. The "last updated" tag reads "6-19-97", and fake [[Main Page Messages|main page messages]] have been added: "sbemail [[Laserdisc|laserdisc]] sale!", "new coach zmail", "marshie movie trailer", and "[[Styles Upon Styles|styles upon styles]] commercial". The main page buttons in the bottom left corner are no longer visible.
* The [[YouTube]] description for this toon is "Intro to the short-lived 90's reboot of homestarrunner.com."
* The video is titled "HSR Xeriouxly Forxe".
