Let's count all of the Homestar Runner references in the comic!
Let's count all of the Homestar Runner references in the comic!
Rick loves to slip in subtle nods to the internet's favorite no-armed terrific athlete Homestar Runner!
I think we should use this forum to find all of the references he's managed to slip in for those who love the series as much as I do and hopefully we can show Rick that we love Homestar as much as he does!
My favorite one so far is Dognut which not only feature a very familiar donut shop name, but is also named after a joke within it

Man, I loved Donut Unto Others. It just felt like an old-school Homestar Runner toon.
I would adore if anyone could make an exhaustive list. Obsessive fans... get on it!
One example I noticed pretty early was that tissues are all labeled "Tish, You!"

I thought that was just a funny play on words. I never knew it was a reference.

Yup it's actually a reference to this (now very relevant) short Sick Day!Amazee Dayzee wrote: ↑Mon Jul 06, 2020 1:35 am I thought that was just a funny play on words. I never knew it was a reference.
Also that time Rick sneaked the wagon-fulla pancakes song into the alt-text of this comic~

How many references do you think Rick included in the comic in just the first year alone? LOL

We’ll Meet At The End Of The Tour is a reference to the Strong Bad Email Theme Park!

How many references is that then you found? Not being sarcastic but I do want to know.

I'm not either because while I know what Homestar Runner is, I never read it nor am I interested in it.

I thought they meant "RoadRunner".Amazee Dayzee wrote: ↑Sun Sep 06, 2020 7:02 pm I'm not either because while I know what Homestar Runner is, I never read it nor am I interested in it.

Not sure how you would get those two which are completely contrasting confused but I'm not here to judge.

Hey, I first crossed it up with "Blade Runner." Free association leads you over some strange ledges.

I can't honestly say that free associations for me have also lead me to make strange connections with things also.

Not sure. You would have to ask somebody who is an expert at it.
