Sometimes the various characters use unusual greetings. They bear resemblance to conventional greetings, usually with just a different spelling.
Weclome

- Malloween Commercial — Homestar Runner's doormat reads "weclome".
- Pulse Interview - May 2004 — Pulse interviews the Videlectrix CEO (Matt Chapman in disguise), who greets them with a hearty "Weclome!"
- Weclome Back — The toon is titled with this misspelling.
- RPS Interview - 17 Dec 2008 — The Videlectrix Guys greet the interviewer with "Weclome to Videlectrix!"
- Strong Sad's Severed Soolnds — Strong Bad greets the viewers this way in this episode of Skills of an Artist. This is the first time it has been said out loud outside of the DVD commentary for Weclome Back.
Helscome
- Homestar Runner's Website — Homestar greets the reader with "helscome my website".
- Tis True, Pom Pom, Tis True (DVD commentary) — Matt Chapman says "helscome" while quoting Homestar Runner's Website.
- Flash is Dead! (Easter egg) — Homestar Runner's Website has been turned into a "dating prolif", so this word appears again.
- Disk 4 of 12 - Vampire's Castle — The Powered by The Cheat illustration of the rusty door has a mat in front of the door that reads "HELSCOME".
Haldo
- Peasant's Quest — Mendelev and Dongolev use the greeting "haldo". When Rather Dashing asks Mendelev if he meant "hello", the archer clarifies "I said 'haldo' and I meant 'haldo.'"
- Peasant's Quest Movie Trailer — Mendelev and Dongolev greet Rather Dashing using "haldo".
- Quote of the Week — If there is a problem finding the weeklies.xml file, a soundless Quote of the Week will appear, with Homestar greeting you this way.
- Trogdor!! The Board Game Rulebook EP — The Bigg Nife song "The Archer", which is about Mendelev and Dongolev, features the word "haldo" in its lyrics.
Other Unusual Greetings

- Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 13.2 — The Homestar Runner's message starts with the greeting "hi-low".
