* The fact that even a ''decade'' after its launch, the website is still up and running to this very day, occasionally updating now and again while staying ''exactly'' how it was during the early 2000's. Longtime fans who have been with the site since the beginning can always look forward to one heck of a nostalgia trip with every visit.

* During the Maps And Minions segment of Strong Badia The Free, two characters on the same space normally fight, with the characters on you side losing, but there are two exceptions- one is, if you have The Cheat and Strong Mad on the same space, they will ''refuse to fight'' and instead share a hug.

* Meta-heartwarming: In the 2017 Halloween toon, Bubs is dressed up as Grunkle Stan from ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls.'' What makes it heartwarming is that Matt Chapman worked on Gravity Falls and is friends with its creator, Alex Hirsch.

* At the end of "Everybody to the Limit", Strong Bad was so impressed by The Cheat's music video that he offers to buy him a pizza.

** After a years long absence since his last appearance where he was starving to death, Homsar finally comes back to the series alive and well.
* In "Cool Things", Marzipan is upset Homestar Runner scrawled "Cool Tapes" on her wall, and demands he go get "yella paint" to fix it. Homestar, being Homestar, ends up bringing back a bag of four grapes. However, he took so long, Marzipan got bored and started a band with Strong Mad and The Cheat called "Cool Tapes". The music is actually really good, but when Marzipan stumbles on a rhyme, Homestar suggests "a bag of four grapes" - and she sings it. Everything turned out well after all.

* Speaking of bringing Homestar Runner back, [[http://homestarrunner.com/fisheyelens.html this happened]] October of 2014. There's a new toon, and [[{{Jerkass}} Strong Bad]] is being nice to [[TheFriendNobodyLikes Coach Z]] in it.

* As of July 2014, Matt Chapman confirmed on the Jeff Rubin Show that he is back in Georgia and seriously wanting to bring back the series. Elaborating that they never wanted to stop the show for so long, but after Matt's second child, it gave them the opportunity to answer the animation studio people they've been contacted by over the years, resulting in 4-5 years of professional animation work. With Matt back at home living close to Mike, they plan to rev it back up sometime in Summer-Fall 2014.

* ''"I'm so glad the Cheat is not dead!"''

* At the end of [[http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemailtwohundred.html Sbemail 200]], The Paper (which had "died" several [=Sbemails=] prior) makes a brief cameo. Strong Bad was ''very'' happy to see it again.
