"Meep meep meep meep meep!"
Within the Homestar Runner body of work, there have been many references to the puppet characters created by Jim Henson, known as The Muppets. Furthermore, many of the puppets that appear in the Puppet Stuff seem to be modelled on Jim Henson's distinctive style, especially the puppet version of Homestar.
Appearances
- Teen Girl Squad Issue 7 — In the DVD commentary, The Brothers Chaps compare "Teeny Tiny Girl Squad" to Muppet Babies.
- Halloween Potion-ma-jig — Marzipan dresses up as Beaker. When she imitates his voice — a series of unintelligible "meeps" — The Cheat appears to understand her.
- Email high school — The scene that takes place in middle school again references Muppet Babies, with characters redesigned as "melon-headed babies with gigantic eyes and enormous imaginations." Homestar takes the role of Nanny, wearing red and white striped bloomers (instead of green and white striped stockings).
- Homestar Ruiner — At a party, Strong Bad speaks to Coach Z in mock Swedish, ending with the Swedish Chef's famous catchphrase, "Bork bork bork."
- Halloween Hijinks — Homestar assumes costumes are based on Jim Henson creations, leading to wildly incorrect guesses that Pom Pom's costume is from The Great Muppet Caper, and the Poopsmith's "Pigs in Space".
