|
| '''Homsar''' is perhaps the strangest and most enigmatic of all the [[Characters|primary residents]] of the [[Homestar Runner universe]]. He was originally created as a result of a typo in the [[Strong Bad Email|email]] [[homsar]], in which Vinnie C. asked, "If you hate Homsar so much, why don't you kill him?" (Presumably, Vinnie had actually meant to type "[[Homestar Runner|Homestar]]".) [[Strong Bad]] promptly dropped a [[Heavy Lourde]] on Homsar and left him for [[Death|dead]]. [[The Brothers Chaps]] later decided to keep Homsar as a main character, and they brought him back in an Easter egg in [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]] and in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 5.0]], where he thanked [[Marzipan]] for the flowers she sent him while he was in the hospital. | | ''{Strong Bad says the last line as "From Vinnie C."}'' |
|
| |
|
| Homsar occasionally makes brief appearances in various cartoons, often in [[Easter eggs]] (and has even been referred to as the "secret guy"). With the exception of [[Which Ween Costumes?]], Homsar has appeared in an Easter egg somewhere in the middle of every [[Holidays|Halloween toon]] since his introduction (except for [[The House That Gave Sucky Tricks]], [[Later That Night...]], and [[Halloween Hijinks]], in which his appearances were not Easter eggs). These eggs are typically triggered by clicking somewhere on or near [[The Poopsmith]].

| Homsar doesn't have very many friends other than [[Strong Sad]] and Marzipan. Most of the other characters generally regard him as a nuisance. In [[Fall Float Parade]], Marzipan describes Homsar as "never a hit with anyone." In particular, Strong Bad seems to dislike him the most; he states in [[interview]] that he would rather gnaw his own leg off than talk to him for 3 seconds. [[Bubs]] apparently refuses to talk to him, as evidenced in [[Where's The Cheat?]]. Despite his unpopularity, he serves in the [[Homestarmy]] and occasionally attends parties where the other main characters are present. He enjoys playing board games with Strong Sad, and has organized his own activities, such as a [[Tree Hugging|tree hugging]] concert and the play "[[stupid stuff|Butt's Twelve by Pies]]" (starring Lighting and Set Decoration). He ran the Merch Masala on the [[Cool Tapes]] tour in [[Weclome Back]] and played a [[Theremin|theremin]] in Strong Bad's band in [[Baddest of the Bands]].
| |
|
| |
|
| In the email [[interview]], Strong Bad, using a pen puppet, claimed that Homsar was "raised by a cup of coffee" (also mentioned by the narrator in Strong Badia the Free when you take over the [[Homsar Reservation]]: "raised by a cup of coffee indeed"). In [[fan club]], Homsar proclaimed that he was "the son of a [[Chipwich]]", and an Easter egg revealed a photo of a cup of coffee and an ice cream sandwich labeled "Homsar's Parents". Homsar finally says "I was raised by a cup of coffee" himself in an Easter egg in [[Haunted Photo Booth]].
| | === Trivia === |
|
| |
|
| Homsar was the winner of a month-long sales competition between himself and Senor Cardgage for the title of [[Non-Sequitur Champion]]. The topic was brought up in [[fan club]], and the loser had to complete a coherent thought as punishment on Homestar Runner's [[The Show]]. (It was later announced that [[Senor Cardgage]] was the loser.) | | * This email marks the debut of [[Homsar]]. |
| | * This is the first email in which Strong Bad makes fun of someone's [[Poorly Written Emails|spelling]]. |
| | * This is also the first email that shows an area outside of the [[Computer Room|computer room]]. |
| | * This is the first email where a character other than Strong Bad appears. |
| | * This marks the first appearances of Homsar and the [[Heavy Lourde]]. |
| | * The back button at the end of this email used to go to the games menu instead of the Strong Bad Email menu (an "old emails" button used to be present that would link to the old emails). After [[flashback]] was released, [[The Brothers Chaps]] removed the old emails button and fixed the back link. The old version can still be viewed [http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail2.swf here]. |
| | * The [[Until Next Time...|conclusion]] is a reworded version of the one in [[some kinda robot]]. |
| | * The [[YouTube]] description for this email is "Someone can't spell "Homestar." The world is never the same." |

| | * The Flash file for this email is the smallest in terms of file size, at just over 100 kilobytes. |
| | * The Heavy Lourde falls from [[Hammerspace|nowhere]]. |
| | * Homsar's non-sequitur speech patterns have not yet been established, and he continues to talk sensibly until [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]]. |
|
| |
|
| <span id="speech"></span>
| | === Goofs === |
| === <span class="mw-headline">Speech</span> === | |
|
| |
|
| Homsar's most distinct characteristic is his unusual manner of speaking, which has varied over time. His tone of voice is generally quite exaggerated, and he often begins sentences by wailing "DAaAAaaAAaaAAaa!". His speech tends to range from perfectly normal English to often random and disconnected phrases that have little to no connection to the scene. Many believe that Homsar speaks in [[Word salad (mental health)|word salads]] (a speech disorder characteristic of [[Receptive aphasia]] in which grammar and sentence structure is often intact, but the words themselves have no particular meaning), but this is not always the case. Instead, it seems that Homsar can and does relate well to his environment and other characters when he needs to, but is also prone to saying completely random things when there's no particular reason for him to stay in context.
| | * Strong Bad's mask doesn't have laces on the back of it when he goes outside. |
| | * Strong Bad's neck cannot be seen when he pulls away from the Tandy. |
| | * Homsar's mouth doesn't sync to his speech. |
| | * In his reflection and the [[Tandy 400]] screen, a little gray mark is sticking out of the V shape on Strong Bad's mask. This goof is easier to see when it is zoomed in. |
|
| |
|
| It has been argued that his unusual speech patterns are the result of being crushed by the Heavy Lourde. This could be evidenced by the fact that in [[homsar]], he is able to speak "normally" to Strong Bad. Some find this unlikely, considering that he was able to speak more or less normally when he called Marzipan after that event. Alternate theories suggest that his speech patterns came as a delayed reaction or, as stated in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 17.2]], he is simply more articulate while speaking on the phone. This exception to his speech does not seem to extend to recording outgoing messages for his own answering machine, as seen in [[Homestar Ruiner]].
| | === Fast Forward === |
|
| |
|
| As shown in [[DNA Evidence]], he can make his voice sound like a whole crowd of people, even when he is alone. In [[Happy Dethemberween]], he and Strong Sad demonstrate that he can also make chiming noises when hit on the head.
| | * In [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 5.0]], Homsar leaves a message thanking [[Marzipan]] for the flowers she sent him while he was in the hospital. It's implied that he was in the hospital because the Heavy Lourde had been dropped on him in this email. |
| | * A scene similar to the one in which Homsar is introduced appears in an [[Easter egg]] of [[Doomy Tales of the Macabre]]. |
|
| |
|
| In [[Strong Badia the Free]], Strong Sad describes him as speaking an entirely different language altogether. Strong Bad briefly gains complete understanding of Homsar's language by collecting the [[Homsartifacts]] and utilizing a nearby "pylon". He is the only one who understands Homsar, however (as evidenced by a quick view of the conversation from Strong Sad's perspective, in which Homsar not only sounds normal, but Strong Bad is speaking in word salads as well), and at the end of the conversation, the pylon is destroyed, ending Strong Bad's ability to understand him. This version of Homsar has a distinctly different voice (like a stereotypical Native American, which Strong Bad describes as "soothing"), and quite visibly understands everything that's going on around him in a very coherent manner, though he also has a tendency to talk a lot. This would be contradicted in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 17.2]], in which he recognizes his nonsensical speech patterns and expresses frustration that he cannot take part in a constructive conversation when not on the telephone.

| Another bizarre aspect of Homsar is his ability to defy the laws of physics through means that are not entirely explained. In many cases it would appear that Homsar can bend reality to his will, performing feats that other characters cannot. Various feats of science defiance include:

| | [[Category:Tandy 400 Emails]] |
| | | [[Category:strongbad email.exe Disc One]] |
| On top of this, Homsar's yellow [[Bowler Hats|bowler hat]] can levitate and float around, as well as transmute into different shapes (e.g an engineer's cap as seen in his [[Homsar's Character Video|character video]]). It is possible that this hat, which levitates when Homsar speaks (including when he is upside down, as in [[cliffhangers]]), is actually being manipulated, as opposed to just flying about on its own. Homsar, after all, [[Lack of Visible Arms|lacks visible arms]]. However, Homsar's solo in the music video [[One Two, One Two]] involves his hat flying farther than arms on a character his size would allow. Another theory for this is that Homsar, and quite possibly the other characters lacking arms, have limited psycho-kinetic abilities. Indeed, it appears that the laws of both science and logic do not apply to Homsar. The powers of Executive Meddling in recreating Fiction also do not apply, as evidenced in [[Xeriouxly Forxe]], where he doesn't get changed into a hip new character, unlike the rest of the cast (he is in fact called "Still Homsar").
| |
| | |
| In [[Strong Badia the Free]], after the "secession", Homsar lives in a place called the "Homsar Reservation". Everything in this location seems to defy the laws of physics as much as Homsar himself. Examples of this phenomenon are floating and moving rocks, ripples in the sky, and a strange rock structure with the ability to make others understand his language. Strong Bad is also seen defying the laws of physics by floating like Homsar whilst the rock structure is in full effect.

| <span id="similarity-to-homestar-runner"></span>
| |
| === <span class="mw-headline">Similarity to Homestar Runner</span> ===
| |
| | |
| In terms of general appearance, Homsar bears a striking resemblance to [[Homestar Runner]]. Although he is grossly exaggerated, pigeon-toed, and more curved, he and Homestar share [[Prognathism|underbites]], clothing style (a hat and shirt), feet style, shading, skin color, and a [[Lack of Visible Arms|lack of visible arms]]. As he was originally a misspelling of "Homestar", it is logical that Homsar is somewhat of a badly-drawn Homestar. Strong Bad remarks upon this in the email [[for kids]], where he refers to Homsar as a "blue midget Homestar". Homestar himself even calls Homsar "Homestar" in [[looking old]]. In [[Baddest of the Bands]] Strong Bad calls him a "weird little misspelling", and when Homestar is impressed with his performance, he curses the letters E and T in his name for preventing him from being as cool as Homsar. Despite their appearances, Homestar claims that he and Homsar are not actually related in the [[SBCG4AP Collector's DVD|SBCG4AP Collector's DVD Credit Sequence]].
| |
| | |
| <span id="naming-of-other-characters-and-himself"></span>
| |
| === <span class="mw-headline">Naming of Other Characters (and Himself)</span> ===
| |
| | |
| Homsar often assigns the other characters, including himself, strange names. This could be because he has forgotten their real names, is confused, or disregards their real names. These "names" are sometimes based on the character's appearance (Strong Sad: That Rhinoceros) or a similar-sounding name (Bubs: Tubbs). When asked for an Autograph for Homsar by [[Strong Bad]] in [[Baddest of the Bands]], Marzipan signs herself, "Matzah Ball", indicating that is what he calls her. One might reason that the epithet is used due to the fact that both monikers have the same starting letter and amount of syllables. They are also both foods. Others (Strong Bad: Reggie) hardly make sense. This is assuming that he is speaking to/about these characters and that he is not just disoriented or believes he is talking to someone else. His way of naming may also be used to describe how a character looks at the time, like when he called The Cheat "chocolate cake" when The Cheat was covered in [[Whatsit|whatsit]]. Homsar also thinks up strange names for himself, such as "Homsar, the captain of the gravy train", "the human wedgie", "a friendly reminder", "a knock-knock joke about jogging suits", "a song from the '60s", and "a real batch export". Homsar doesn't seem to repeat any of his made-up names (except a song from the '60s), in keeping with his tendency to forget or disregard things or become confused. Homsar has also been named by others, like when Homestar called him "the secret guy" or when Strong Bad referred to him as "America's favorite blue midget Homestar".

| Homsar has pigeon-toed feet that move incredibly fast, but his movement is very slow. Also, whenever Homsar walks, he makes a peculiar fluttery noise, although this sound effect is not present in [[Strong Badia the Free]]. Some other characters have also [[Sound Effects|made this noise]].

| |
| * The [[Fonts|font]] on Homsar's shirt is [[Fonts|Bauhaus93]].
