The midwestern state of Indiana is occasionally referenced in Homestar Runner. Some of this is doubtless due to the fact that creative duo the Brothers Chaps were born in Indiana. Though their immediate family moved to Georgia in Mike and Matt's early childhood, their Hoosier origins have been mentioned in occasional interviews, such as how their Grandmother's Indiana accent influenced the development of Coach Z's distinctive manner of speaking.
Appearances
- Ballad of The Sneak (DVD commentary) — Fort Wayne Locomotive takes his name from the city of Fort Wayne, Indiana.
- Cheat Commandos (DVD commentary) — Mike indicates that Ripberger is named after the Ripberger family, neighbors of the Chapmans from Indiana.
- Let us give TANKS! (DVD commentary) — "Bill Ripberger" is the only member of the family whose name Mike can recall.
- Kid Speedy — One of the tracks is "Indiana", likely in reference to the arcade game Cruis'n USA.
- Email high school — Teenage Homestar Runner's stripèd pants are based on the Indiana University basketball team's former warmup pants, as explained in the DVD commentary.
- Email candy product — One of the suggested shapes for Strong Bad's candy bar is Indiana.
- Email pet show — Strong Bad and Strong Mad use "Schlembaugh's skillet-fried Hoosier 'Nuts!" brand doughnuts to groom The Cheat. Hoosier is a nickname for someone from Indiana.
- The Next April Fools Thing — Strong Bad, paraphrasing a quote from IU coach Bob Knight, says he is "sick of losing to" fellow Indiana university Purdue.
- @StrongBadActual tweet (8 Jan 2019) — After autocorrect misspells his typing of "Diddy Kong", Strong Bad riffs that "Diddy King" sounds like a Dairy Queen ripoff from Indiana.
