Homestar Runner



Homestar Runner (H*R) is a web-based Flash cartoon series that revolves around the title character Homestar Runner, his friends, and their would-be nemesis Strong Bad. The series makes made frequent references to the Muppets:


 * The most obvious are the "Puppet Stuff" shorts, where several H*R characters appear live-action and in puppet form. Moreso are the Vs. series of Puppet Stuff shorts; Homestar/Strong Bad Vs. Little Girl/Other Little Girl. These shorts are reminiscent of Sesame Street shorts where a Muppet character interacts with a young child.


 * "Halloween Potion-Ma-Jig", a Halloween themed adventure game where the character Marzipan is dressed as Beaker.


 * "Teen Girl Squad" issue 7, where the normal teenage girl characters appear as toddlers called the Teeny Tiny Girl Squad. The creators of H*R have said this is a direct homage to Muppet Babies. Speaking of which...


 * "Strong Bad Email #140 - highschool", where several regular H*R characters appear as (in Strong Bad's words) 'melon-headed babies with gigantic eyes and enormous imaginations'. Homestar himself takes the role of Nanny.


 * "Strong Bad Email #110 - for kids", in which the character Homsar hosts a children's show called 'Whaddaya Know, Haddi-Man?'. Very similar to Sesame Street.
