Fun Facts
Trivia
- Cherry Greg was voiced by long-time collaborator Dan Kubis in this toon. In Fluffy Puff Commercial, he was voiced by co-creator Craig Zobel.
- All of the URLs mentioned in the toon actually exist, or have at some point:
- something.com usually contains nothing but the word "Something." on the index page; it currently reads "Please get vaccinated, and wear a mask."
- usshomestarrunner.com was a fansite and later a forum, until mid-2011 when the domain name was not renewed. The domain was held by an unrelated site until 2020. It currently redirects to the homepage for Come On, Fhqwhpods!, a Homestar Runner podcast.
- imabigmoronwhocantrememberhislines.com was a fansite created by a Hofstra University web design student hosted on the University's server. It was briefly updated from 2003 to 2004, going offline in 2008. The URL now mirrors the unrelated Slorum forum.
- homestarrunner.net currently redirects to the Homestar Runner Wiki. It used to host a forum and a fansite network, both of which can been seen at the Internet Wayback Machine.
- The Spanish dialogue that Homestar Runner says translates to "Welcome to Homestarrunner dot com. Do you know Miguel? Yes! We are good friends!" It is the kind of phrase one would see in an introductory Spanish textbook.
- Homestar Runner wears a randomly selected costume in Take 25, including:
- Naked (pixelated)
- Witch
- Sailor
- Clown
Remarks
- The Clapper Loader may lack visible arms because the clapperboard appears to operate without anyone holding it.
- When Homestar talks in Spanish, his speech impediment is much lighter. For example, when he says, "homestarrunner.com", he does so without a problem.
- In the same take, "Miguel" may be referencing Mike Chapman, considering Miguel is the Spanish equivalent of Michael.
- By the time they get to take 126, the clapperboard states that they are on roll 11. Assuming that they are filming with standard 1000-ft, 35mm rolls, which average about ten minutes of footage per roll, by this point they would have been trying to film scene one for nearly two hours. This makes sense because it is take 126, and each take would probably be a minute or less.
- Homestar's shirt contains the earlier design color.
- At the very end of the toon, there are 21 extra frames that don't do anything.
- In the Spanish dialogue, Homestar should pronounce the name "Homestar Runner punto com", as "punto" is the Spanish name for the period mark.
Goofs
- When "Its dot com" appears on the screen, it contains a punctuation error: It should be "It's dot com" because "It's" is a contraction of "It is".
Inside References
- The format of this cartoon is very similar to Fluffy Puff Commercial, where Cherry Greg also has problems getting Homestar to read his lines correctly.
- This is another instance of Homestar Runner peeking.
DVD Version
- You can choose which costume Homestar wears in Take 25 by using the angle button:
