* Strong Bad says Homestar never graduated from anything in his life. The position of his tassel, over the right eye, traditionally signifies that a person has not received a degree (yet).
* Strong Bad saying that Homestar probably can't read is incorrect, for Homestar shows his reading and writing skills in several places, including [[credit card]], [[anything]], and [[email thunder]]. Homestar's literacy is also tested in [[Arcade Game]], [[Cool Things]], and [[Homestar Ruiner]].
* The statement that the King of Town really lives in a run-down two-room building next to the [[House of the Brothers Strong]] is directly contradicted by later toons.

Personally, I don't know what he's doing not wearing his hat, because, he looks kinda creepy whe—when he doesn't wear his baseball hat. Or whatever that hat is, you got the propeller on it, I mean...

I didn't trust that guy any farther than I could throw him.

STRONG BAD: Oh, and Homestar wearing the graduate cap... I'll tell you what, I mean, Homestar never graduated from anything in his life. And, uh, that little X he just made... To tell you the truth, I don't think that he could tell you that it was an X because I'm pretty sure he doesn't know the alphabet and I'm almost positive that he can't read, so. Oh yeah, everyone has a good laugh...

STRONG BAD: And that place, the King of Town does not live in that castle! I can tell you that right now. I mean, like, he lives in like some two bedroom job, like, next door to me. It's kinda run down and creepy, actually. Yeah, you don't want to go over there, man.
