Marzipan's Answering Machine is probably one of the most overlooked sections on homestarrunner.com, likely because of its lack of animation. The messages often dive deeper into interpersonal relationships between the characters, with each short message packed with insight. Some mainstays of the section are Strong Bad's unrelenting prank calls, Homestar Runner's constant misunderstandings, Coach Z's odd habits and tendencies (especially towards Marzipan herself), Strong Sad's depressing ramblings, and surprisingly frequent calls from The King of Town. It also features various other surprise messages and cameos from major and minor characters.
