''{Two vertical brown lines come up from the bottom of the screen, while a blue one comes down from the top. Homestar Runner appears and approaches the camera in the center of the screen. A firework bursts on the left, along with the text &quot;everyone loves the homestar runner&quot;. Homestar turns to the right as another firework appears, creating the text &quot;he is a terrific athlete&quot;. As more fireworks explode, Homestar turns back left and off-white arrows push the text offscreen. The vertical lines and the arrows spin away, as the camera zooms into Homestar's right eye. Homestar's eye sparkles, and then a star appears as another firework goes off. Homestar appears inside the star, which changes from white to blue, and spins around as several fireworks explode against the black background. Homestar's eye sparkles again. After one last firework surrounds the star and disappears, an [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|h*r]] logo appears underneath the star, with either the word &quot;enter&quot; (in the old version) or &quot;close&quot; (in the current version) written under it.}''

He is a terrific athlete

The original intro to the site.

Cast (in order of appearance): Homestar Runner

Running Time: 0:15

Page Title: That's Mike going 'Beeooo!'

Original Page Title: Everyone Loves the Homestar Runner

Transcript

{Two vertical brown lines come up from the bottom of the screen, while a blue one comes down from the top. Homestar Runner appears in the center of the screen. A firework bursts on the left, along with the text "everyone loves the homestar runner". Homestar turns to the right as another firework appears, creating the text "he is a terrific athlete". As more fireworks explode, off-white arrows push the text offscreen. The vertical lines and the arrows spin away, as the camera zooms into Homestar's right eye. Homestar's eye sparkles, and then a star appears as another firework goes off. Homestar appears inside the star, which changes from white to blue, and spins around as several fireworks explode against the black background. Homestar's eye sparkles again. After one last firework surrounds the star and disappears, an h*r logo appears underneath the star, with either the word "enter" (in the old version) or "close" (in the current version) written under it.}


Afterwards, roll over the h*r logo to give it a yellow outline and yellow star and the h and r switch colors; if you click it, you will hear Homestar say, "Hello!" and it will say "you're in!" instead of "enter".

Trivia

Remarks

  • The Enter button only works between frames 122 and 127, when it sparkles.
  • The Enter button links to either Main Page 1, Main Page 2, or Main Page 3. Presumably, this is because the other main pages had not been created yet.
