10	!!Marshie
11	[[quoteright:180:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/180px_marshie.png]]
12	[[caption-width-right:180:''"Don'cha like me?"'']]
13	->Debut: ''"Fluffy Puff Commercial"'' (EarlyBirdCameo), ''"Meet Marshie"'' (official debut)
14
15	A floating marshmallow with a face, Marshie is the annoying, overbearing and more-than-a-little disturbing mascot of Fluffy Puff Marshmallows. Marshie is desperate to get kids to like him, but his overbearing attitude, bizarre sense of advertising aesthetic and sheer innate creepiness make him universally despised. In particular, the normally good-natured Homestar hates Marshie because he took his job as the Fluffy Puff spokesman.
16	----
17	* AccidentalNightmareFuel: His main shtick. Marshie really, ''really'' wants you to like him, but his commercials are... off-putting, to say the least. Marshie commercials include creepily-spoken lines, jarring non-sequiturs, unsettling close-ups, disturbing imagery and in one instance a behind-the-scenes meltdown. [[invoked]]
18	-->'''Marshie''': (Handheld footage in a changing room) WHAT MORE DO THEY WAAANT!?
19	* AdorableAbomination: His "[[http://www.hrwiki.org/w/images/thumb/2/28/Gel-Arshie.png/180px-Gel-Arshie.png Gel-arshie]]" persona, who serves as the mascot for "Red Flavored Fluffy Puff Translucent Dessert Related Substance" (red gelatin). As cute as he may be, he's even more terrifying than Marshie, with a creepy distorted voice and a ''visible brain'' inside his head.
20	-->'''Gel-arshie''': ''I'M AN ABOMINATION!'' And I'm comin' to your house after school!
21	* AmbiguouslyEvil: It is suggested that Marshie is not only disturbing but genuinely evil. He is considered a "bad guy" in the song "Strong Bad is a Bad Guy", a vaporised Marshie cheerily says "you can't destroy me" in the sbemail "Candy Product", and the design of his Xeriouxly Forxe counterpart, Marxie, looks more clearly evil.
22	* CharacterCatchphrase: "Made from the best stuff!"
23	* ChildHater: Hates his younger counterpart Nibbles, who, despite his similarities to a CousinOliver, is actually a very tolerable mascot in comparison to Marshie. Also implied in an outtake:
24	-->'''Marshie''': Those little punks next door won't know what hit 'em, when you fill 'em... full of lead...
25	* {{Flanderization}}: In his initial appearances, he was only vaguely creepy with his overly friendly attitude towards the viewer. In his later appearances, he becomes legitimately creepy and his later appearances show his more unhinged side including a nervous breakdown, random bursts of anger, threatening his own co-stars and his own mother, and even gives threats directed at the viewers.
26	* HatedByAll: He has the dubious honor of being the only character to not have a positive relationship with any of the characters (with the Little Girl being a possible exception). Homestar hates Marshie for taking his job as Fluffy Puff Marshmallow's pitchman, Strong Bad thinks Marshie's commercials should be rated NC-17 for "Needlessly Creepy times 17" and was annoyed that he attempted to "make a buck or nine off [his] heart-drooping loss" (his Lappy was stolen), and Marzipan does not fondly remember performing alongside Marshie.
27	* ItsAllAboutMe: If there's another co-star in Marshie's commercials, he will angrily try to take the spotlight back to himself.
28	* MyBelovedSmother: According to "Cliffhanger", he apparently has an antagonistic relationship with his mom.
29	--> '''Marshie''': Just email who you think done it on a 3x5 notecard, stick a Fluffy Puff on each corner, '''AND ''JUST WALK AWAY,'' MOTHER.'''
30	* StepfordSmiler: He's constantly smiling, but it's very clear that he's mentally disturbed on the inside and on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
31	* SuckSessor: Homestar absolutely despises him, and for good reason - even if he wasn't in-universe NightmareFuel, he still took Homestar's job as Fluffy Puff Marshmallow ad spokesman.
32	-->'''Homestar''': I hate that freakin' marshmallow...
33	* VoiceOfTheLegion: Vampire!Marshie in "Fan Costumes 2018" claims if he ever heals the bite out of his head, he'll become "'''UNSTOPPABLE'''" in a distorted voice.

36	[[folder:Limozeen]]
37	!!Limozeen
38	->''I got the heart of a lion and the wings of a bat -- BECAUSE IT'S MIDNITE!''
39	->Debut: ''"[[Recap/StrongBadEmailE16BandNames Email band names]]"'' (mentioned), ''"[[Recap/StrongBadEmailE61MonsterTruck Email monster truck]]"'' (in-person)
40
41	The greatest hair metal band in the world (at least in Strong Bad's eyes), made up of brothers Larry (vocals), Gary (lead guitar), Perry (bass), and Mary (drums) Palaroncini. They sing songs about love and living in the fast lane, do gigs in Free Country USA and beyond, and have never quite left 1987. They had their own Saturday morning cartoon show in the '80s that was canceled before the first commercial break. Their manager is the nerdy Teeg Dougland, and Strong Bad is their biggest fan.
42	----
43	* AdaptationDecay: In-universe, ''Limozeen: But They're in Space!''
44	* AdaptationDyeJob: InUniverse, Mary was made a redhead in the cartoon.
45	* AffectionateParody:
46	** Of real-life glam metal bands like Van Halen and Poison.
47	** "But They're in Space" is a parody of ''WesternAnimation/JosieAndThePussycats In Space''.
48	* AscendedExtra: Limozeen started as just an example of how metal bands create their name in "Death Metal" [=SBEmail=].
49	* BandToon: ''Limozeen: But They're in Space!''
50	* BigEater: Mary in the cartoon (a parody of Ray Stanz from ''WesternAnimation/TheRealGhostbusters'', who was inexplicably fat).
51	* CharacterCatchphrase: From Teeg Dougland, "I'm afraid I've got some bad news, boys."
52	* DiscoDan: They seem to still be keeping up the old HairMetal style, long after it fell out of favor (something even acknowledged in-universe).
53	* DumbAndDrummer: Mary in the cartoon.
54	* EndOfSeriesAwareness: "I'm afraid I've got some bad news, boys. Our pilot episode has been canceled!"
55	* FamilyThemeNaming: The Palaroncini brothers' names all rhyme.
56	%%* FakeBand
57	* GenderBlenderName: Mary.
58	* GroupieBrigade: In ''But They're in Space!'', they're stalked by a horde of alien groupies.
59	* HotBlooded: They're very passionate about the metal they play.
60	* InkSuitActor: Teeg Dougland basically ''is'' Mike Chapman.
61	* LargeHam: Larry. The rest are all pretty sedate.
62	* MyspeldRokband: And they're so used to this pattern that they assume the name of fellow band Advantage is pronounced "Odd-von-TAYGE".
63	* NoIndoorVoice: Larry screams all of his dialog as if he were in front of a screaming crowd. Even when sitting in a quiet restaurant commenting on his food.
64	* OneEpisodeWonder: InUniverse, their cartoon. It was cancelled before the credits ran.
65	* RealityBleed: They started off as a random band name thrown out by Strong Bad in one of his emails before becoming a full-fledged part of the universe.
66	* RecycledInSpace: Parodied by their cartoon, ''Limozeen: But They're in Space!'' Strong Sad and Strong Bad used to provide the page quote regarding it.
67	* {{Scatting}}: Their song "Feed the Childrens" is nothing ''but'' scatting, much to Strong Bad's annoyance.
68	* SitcomArchNemesis: With sloshy. Larry once calls Marzipan to complain she's collaborating with them instead of Limozeen.
69	* VerbalTic: Larry ends most of his sentences with "-uh!"
70	* YouDontLookLikeYou: In the cartoon, Mary is inexplicably fat and red-haired.

74	!!Senor Cardgage
75	[[quoteright:100:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/100px_senor_cartgage_profile.png]]
76	[[caption-width-right:100:''"Cargeenan, Monteljohn, can you detect me to the nearest bus stamp?"'']]
77	->Debut: ''"[[Recap/StrongBadEmailE92KindOfCool Email kind of cool]]"''
78
79	An older, vaguely sleazy man who constantly uses nonsense-words. Strong Bad looks up to him; Marzipan looks down on him. While he lost the non-sequitur championship to Homsar, he's still not exactly known for his eloquence. He carries around a grocery bag full of melty candy bars that he eats loudly while standing to close to people.
80	----
81	* AccidentalMisnaming: Due to his {{Cloudcuckoolander}} nature, he always calls other characters by female names, regardless of gender. And then there was the time he called Homestar "Hot Pooey".
82	* AscendedExtra: While he has never officially become a main character like Homsar has, he has had major roles in several toons including "Senor Mortgage," "Senorial Day," "Non-Sequitur Championship," "Coach Z Pukes in Dude's Toupee," and "A Decemberween Mackerel," and has made more appearances than any other character outside of the main twelve.
83	* BrokenPedestal: When first introduced, Strong Bad looked up to Senor enough that he imagined himself as Senor Cardgage. As time progressed though, even he started to get creeped out by Senor Cardgage's antics.
84	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: He rarely has a coherent thought.
85	* CoolOldGuy: Strong Bad saw him as this at first, but as time went on he slowly realized why nobody else saw him as this as well.
86	* CrazyHomelessPeople: He's an eccentric old man who apparently lives in a bush.
87	* {{Curse}}: His character video curses those who watch it... to have their lips become realistic human lips, their voice becoming strange, and to put their hands on their hips [[note]] which doesn't visibly affect Homestar because of his invisible arms [[/note]] whenever they say "tertiary". The curse is so specific it takes a "7 or 8 years later" FlashForward before anybody notices the effects.
88	* DirtyOldMan: If constantly referring to everyone as women, regardless of their actual gender, is any indication.
89	* {{Foil}}: For Homsar. Heck, the Deleteheads even debate who's more of a CloudCuckoolander.
90	* HiddenDepths: As ''too cool'' shows, his handwriting is noticeably fancy, if the package he sends Strong Bad is anything to go by.
91	* HonestJohnsDealership: [[LampshadeHanging At least he's aware of it:]]
92	--> '''Senor:''' ''(standing on a lawnmower)'' Why, hello, Miss Trela. Check out Senor Cardgage's Intregway. Dump Tell No Mandy — it's just a landmower moved bankways.[[note]]Translation: he's trying to sell a backwards lawnmower as a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Segway_PT Segway scooter.]][[/note]]
93	* {{Jerkass}}: At times, such as when he walked off with Strong Bad's football after promising to "hit him on the slant".
94	* {{Malaproper}}: His signature character trait is saying things that "aren't one word but aren't quite another." For example, he'll combine "Excuse me" and "Pardon me" into "Excardon me", and "Don't tell nobody" becomes "Dump Tell no Mandy".
95	* NightmareFuelStationAttendant: He is this in some cartoons, such as when he is heard singing a creepy rhyme within a children's daycare building with barbed wire and a ChalkOutline outside. Strong Sad also sees him as such, informing Strong Bad that he gave him nightmares. And despite his hero-worship of the guy, Strong Bad himself bore witness to this in "hremail3184" when Senor Cardgage walked in place sans friction as disembodied traffic sounds echoed around him.
96	--> '''Strong Bad''': ...I'm quite scared right now.
97	* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: Especially in lines, while eating old candy.
98	* OddballDoppelganger: He looks like Strong bad, just taller and lankier with a beer belly, combover, goatee and glasses. Even though they're unrelated, he looks more like Strong Bad than either Strong Mad or Strong Sad do.
99	* PerpetualPoverty: He's homeless and sleeps outside in a sleeping bag, with the closest thing he has to a home being a bush.
100	* RamblingOldManMonologue: Constantly. In "too cool", he went on one that apparently lasted for two or three hours before informing Strong Bad that they had "run out of film" (since he was being filmed on [[ItMakesSenseInContext an old air freshener]]).
101	* RealAfterAll: Senor Cardgage first appeared when a fan asked Strong Bad what he would be like if he wasn't cool. At first he appears to just be a hypothetical version of Strong Bad, but then Strong Sad appears at the end of the episode to tell Strong Bad that he was basically describing Senor Cardgage, the creepy guy that lived down the street from them when they were little.
102	* SelfDeprecation: Possibly in "Senor Cardgage Mortgage" in one of his few coherent moments
103	--> Act now and see if you can stand to talk to me for more than four seconds!
104	* TalkativeLoon: When he isn't saying malapropisms, he's speaking complete gibberish. He even competed with Homsar over the title of "Non-Sequitur Champion". [[spoiler:It's a 50-50 chance who will win, if watching the flash cartoon. If Homsar wins, he'll be there wearing a "THUMP" key hat saying, "My name's Millions, and I'm a son of a Chipwich!" If Senor Cardgage wins, he'll say, "Carrageenan, Monteljohn. Can you detect me to the nearest bus stamp?"]]
105	-->'''Strong Sad:''' ... debate's over!
106	* ThirteenIsUnlucky: Senor Cardgage's character video would chronologically be the thirteenth one recorded, and it is also cursed.

110	!!TROGDOR the [=BURNiNATOR=]
111	->''Trogdor was a man!''\
112	''I mean... he was a dragon-man!''\
113	''Er... maybe he was just a dragon...''\
114	''But he was still TROGDOR!!! TROGDOR!!!''
115	->Debut: ''"[[Recap/StrongBadEmailE58Dragon Email dragon]]"''
116
117	A stick-figure dragon with one beefy arm drawn by Strong Bad when a fan asked him to show his "skills of an artist", Trogdor is a monster who comes in the night, burninates all the people who live in thatch-roofed cottages, and generally terrorizes the land of Peasantry. Created as a one-off joke, Trogdor proved immensely popular thanks to his rocking metal theme song and soon starred in his own video game, and the legend grew from there. A full-length text-based AdventureGame, ''VideoGame/PeasantsQuest'', introduced the heroic peasant Rather Dashing, who will stop at nothing (sans burnination) to stop Trogdor. He's the main character of ''TabletopGame/TrogdorTheBoardGame''.
118	----
119	* AffablyEvil: He may be a remorseless dragon who wants nothing more than to burn everything in sight, but he's surprisingly cordial towards his would-be killer, Rather Dashing, stating that even though he's indestructible, Rather Dashing came closer than anyone ever did at hurting him. While he still burninates him, he considers it a great honor.
120	* AscendedExtra: He started out as a drawing with a catchy song in one of Strong Bad's E-Mails, gained a huge following, and is the BigBad of the fifth episode of ''Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People'': "8 Bit Is Enough." In 2018, [[TabletopGame/TrogdorTheBoardGame he got his own tabletop game]].
121	* BreakoutCharacter: He's gotten some games in real life, and his theme song even appeared in ''VideoGame/GuitarHero''. In 2018, he became the title character [[https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1999933720/trogdor-the-board-game of his own board game.]]
122	* CreatorBacklash: [[invoked]] From Strong Bad in "[[http://www.homestarrunner.com/trogday08.html Trogday 08]]".
123	-->''"You Internet types ruined Trogdor! Just like you did zombies, pirates, ninjas, and Strong Bad! Er, wait, no. Yeah!"''
124	* HalfHumanHybrid: His theme song goes from describing him as being WasOnceAMan to this to just being a regular dragon.
125	* HeavyMithril: His theme song.
126	* OurDragonsAreDifferent: For starters, he has sticks for legs, tiny wings, disembodied eyebrows, and one big beefy human arm sticking out the back of his neck. Also, he's built like an Eastern-style dragon, but he breathes fire and terrorizes people like a Western-style one.
127	* PerfectlyCromulentWord: "Burninate".
128	* RedBaron: "The [=BURNiNATOR=]", "the Wingaling Dragon", etc.
129	* ResurrectiveImmortality: Implied. Despite himself and other characters saying he is invincible, Trogdor can indeed be killed, but he always seems to revive and come back so the real trick seems to be getting him to ''stay'' dead.
130	* {{Retcon}}: InUniverse; his theme song states that he WasOnceAMan, and then that he's a HalfHumanHybrid, and finally decides he's just a regular dragon.
131	* SoreLoser: Never takes failure well. After Strong Bad successfully kills him twice in ''8-Bit is Enough'', he immediately goes after him. [[GameplayAndStoryIntegration Also features prominently in the Trogdor board game]], when Trogdor is hit without any health he goes on a huge temper tantrum moving and attacking randomly in a last ditch effort to destroy the countryside [[ScrewThisImOutOfHere before leaving in a huff]].
132	-->'''Strong Bad:''' Trogdor doesn’t lose, he ragequits!
133	* StrongAsTheyNeedToBe: Trogdor's level of power has ranged heavily over the course of his appearances. In his self-titled game, he's a OneHitPointWonder who can be killed easily by archers and knights. In ''VideoGame/PeasantsQuest'', he's claimed to be "kinda indestructible", and the Trogsword does nothing more than wake him up. He's somewhere in between that in ''VideoGame/StrongBadsCoolGameForAttractivePeople'' (where a determined Strong Bad can kill him by hitting his weakpoints) and ''TabletopGame/TrogdorTheBoardGame'' (where he can't be killed, but he can be harmed enough [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere to piss him off and get him to leave]]).
134	* VillainSong: His theme song is about how he burninates the countryside, the peasants, and their thatch-roofed cottages.
135	* WasOnceAMan: According to his theme song. Or maybe he was a dragon-man, or just a dragon.
136	* YourSizeMayVary: Trogdor's been everywhere from "size of a man" to "size of a house" to "about a hundred feet tall."

139	[[folder:Crack Stuntman]]
140	!!Crack Stuntman
141	-> Debut: ''"Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 14.2"''
142	The voice actor of Gunhaver from Cheat Commandos and a spokesperson for Pistols for Panda.
143	----
144	* AccidentalMisnaming: He sometimes gets the name of ''his own character'' Gunhaver wrong, calling him "Gunshaver" or "Gun Hay-ver".
145	* CharacterCatchphrase: "Blaaaaaaaah'm Crack Stuntman."
146	* CoolShades: He wears them all the time.
147	* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: He resembles Creator/FrankWelker. "The Next Epi-Snowed!" also gives him a bit of Creator/CaseyKasem, as he insists that his own traits in RealLife should also apply to Gunhaver, much like how Kasem pushed for [[WesternAnimation/ScoobyDoo Shaggy]] to be made a vegetarian like himself.
148	* PermaStubble: He always has [[SolidCartoonFacialStubble solid brown shading]] around his mouth and chin.
149	* VerbalTic: He has a tendency to say "blah". This is shown when he introduces himself and when he discovers that "Pistols for Pandas" is a non-profit organisation.

152	[[folder:Shark-Tooth Bubs]]
153	!!Shark-Tooth Bubs
154	->Debut: ''"[[Recap/StrongBadEmailE104ThemePark Email theme park]]"''
155
156	An alternate version of Bubs with two dot eyes, a set of fangs, and a unicorn-type horn coming out of his head. Unlike most of the H*R cast, he's voiced by Mike instead of Matt. Like the regular Bubs, he runs (or claims to run) a concession stand (in his case, called "Eight Burgers"). As with most of Mike's characters, his appearances are few and far between. With the exception of his debut in ''Theme Park'', he has only appeared as a puppet or as a voice on the DVD commentaries.
157
158	Looks and name aside, his personality is only marginally similar to his better-known counterpart. Think of a ''slightly'' more articulate version of Homsar or Senor Cardgage and you're probably on the right track.
159
160	The brothers came up with the character after a Chinese toy designer sent them prototype plush toys of some of the characters. They were very amused at how the designer misinterpreted Bubs's eyes and mouth and decided to work him into one of their upcoming cartoons (The ''Theme Park'' email). They initially put him in a cartoon as an AffectionateParody of unlicensed toys. However, every appearance since then has been as a character (complete with spoken lines) as opposed to just being a prop.
161	----
162	* AscendedExtra: Not much of one, but considering that his first appearance was as a mere prop...
163	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: just listen to him on ''Puppets on the Road'' on the 4th Strong Bad Email DVD or on the DVD commentary for ''Long Pants''.
164	* JiveTurkey: Much like Bubs, he speaks hip.
165	* TheManBehindTheMan: In [[spoiler:''The Curly-Fried Caper'']].
166	* NothingPersonal: "Sorry Piles, I've got my own styles."
167	* RousingSpeech: "Heaven help us! Let us rest in the wake of the hours beneath! For tomorrow is a grand style! Courageously affording the brothers of our...Lester Brothers."
168	* RunningGag: In ''Puppets on the Road'', while in Philadelphia, he keeps referring to "The Chicken Man", a Philadelphia-based crime boss.
169	* TurnCoat: Apparently, he doesn't care ''who'' owns the pile, so long as he gets to be "pile manager".

177	->Debut: ''"[[Recap/StrongBadEmailE1SomeKindaRobot Email some kinda robot]]"'' (Tandy 400), ''"[[Recap/StrongBadEmailE41Invisibility Email invisibility]]"'' (Compy 386), ''"[[Recap/StrongBadEmailE119Animal Email animal]]"'' (Lappy 486), ''"Compy Catalog"'' (Compé), ''"[[Recap/StrongBadEmailE206Sbemail206 Email sbemail206]]"'' (Lappier)
178
179	All of Strong Bad's ancient computers seems to have their own minds, and they all seem to hold grudges. Although the deaths of the Lappy and Tandy [[{{Bathos}} didn't bother him much]], the Compy being shot affected him greatly. He started off with the green-screened Tandy 400, [[StuffBlowingUp until it blew up]], then moved to the Compy 386, which was shot by Bubs after getting infected by over 400,000 computer viruses, and then the Lappy 486, which Strong Bad [[RunningGag blew up.]] He then switched to the Compé, but he only answered 3 emails on it before he let it collect so much dust that it was compressed into the Lappier, which he now uses.
180	----
181	* TheAllegedComputer: Strong Bad prefers to use computers with particularly obsolete features. Command-prompt interfaces had been long undesirable by 2001. Their reliability has varied, although in some cases they have minds of their own.
182	* AnachronismStew: With the exception of the Compé, Strong Bad uses old-style command prompt computers.
183	* BackForTheDead: In [=SBEmail=] retirement, the first and second computers demanded to have one more email checked on each of them. Strong Bad obliged, but in such a way that permanently destroyed both of them.
184	* BackFromTheDead: The first and second computers come back for the [=SBEmail=] retirement.
185	* DiscoDan: Strong Bad's first state of the art computer had ''two contrast knobs!'' His first laptop had ''five whole minutes'' of battery life and weighed ''an extremely portable forty-two pounds!'' Strong Bad viewed them as the epitome of computing. He's been rather disdainful of The Cheat, who uses "new computers."
186	* FingerInTheMail: The older computers send Lappie's "toe" (a key from her keyboard) to Strong Bad with a ransom note.
187	* JackassGenie: The Tandy sometimes ignores Strong Bad's orders fully. Other times, it takes advantage of his ExactWords (though during the instance described below, it was malfunctioning, having exploded a few emails beforehand).
188	-->'''Strong Bad''': "Deleted!."\
189	'''Tandy''': "Saved forever."\
190	'''Strong Bad''': ''(sarcastically)'' Oh, that's great. Great, thank you. Yeah, go ahead and save that one, why don't you, yeah. So I can treasure it for years and years, and show it to my kids.
191	* TheNthDoctor: The Lappier is technically the Compé, in exactly the same way a diamond is just coal. (i.e. One was crushed into the other.)
192	* RealityWarper: When the Compy is infected with so many viruses that their glitching overflows and infects reality.
193	* SnarkyInanimateObject: Each one has been sassy to Strong Bad, even in a glitchy state.
194	-->'''Strong Bad''': ''(types into Compy)'' "Um, this time really print me out a million dollars bill.nofoolin'".\
195	'''Compy''': Cut it out, you.\
196	'''Strong Bad''': What the—!? Don't give me none of that cross-talk!
197	* ThisIsUnforgivable: When the Tandy deleted an email from the only girl that ever showed interest in Strong Bad, his opinion of the Tandy was soured forever.
198	* UnexplainedRecovery: The Compy inexplicably appears as Strong Bad's computer in the 2014 April Fool's cartoon, even though in its last appearance it was eaten by Strong Mad.
199	* TheUnfavorite: The Tandy seems to be Strong Bad's least favorite of his computers; he rarely has anything positive to say about it, two of his personal favorite emails are the ones where it exploded and the one where he got rid of it, and it's the only one he simply throws away without any real sendoff. This is probably because it was the only one to actively break down and start showing major bugs, while his other computers mostly performed to the level of their (incredibly low) standards until outside interference kicked in. Then again, even when it exploded, his only reaction was to grumpily note "I liked that computer."
200	** He even goes as far as to refer to it as his "crappiest computer" in the [=SBEmail=] retirement, alongside with the Compy, who was merely his "crappier" one.
201	* WeHardlyKnewYe: Strong Bad uses the Compé for a grand total of '''3''' emails, and then after the hiatus ended it was covered in so much dust it was compressed into the Lappier. This is, of course, lampshaded by Strong Bad:
202	-->''Ah, Compé, we hardly knew yé.''

208
209	Two perspective-altering printers and a pop-up balloon. They usually appear at the end of an email to prompt an email to Strong Bad.

211	* BackFromTheDead: The original paper surprisingly returns from the dead for the 200th email, only to accidentally get burned to a crisp once more by sparks flying off Homestar's short-circuiting Happy 8600. It has not been seen since.
212	* KilledOffForReal:
213	** The Paper.
214	---> Strong Bad: "Why do all of my thirty-year-old electronics keep breaking on me?"
215	** The New Paper is "killed" along with the Lappy in email #201, and is replaced by a digital speech bubble that Strong Bad calls the "Compé-per".
216	** That lasts until the Compé is turned into the Lappier, where the current Paper used is a CGI Paper.
217	* SugarWiki/MostWonderfulSound: InUniverse, Strong Bad loves the sound the Paper makes whenever it prints, and one of the reasons he considers the New Paper worse is its printing sound is far less enjoyable.
218	* PerspectiveMagic: Is able to print itself to talk even out of nowhere.
219	* SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud: Because the CG paper doesn't make a sound when it appears, Strong Bad says "CG-eeeeow" for it.
220	* SuckSessor: Strong Bad often laments that the New Paper is worse than the Old Paper. He does have plenty of reasons to dislike the New Paper, such as making a less enjoyable sound when it prints, having no comedic timing, often malfunctioning, and taking other people's sides.
221	* WrittenSoundEffect: The sound the Paper makes whenever it appears is written as "preeeeow".

255
256	An armless green critter who turns up most Halloweens, the Goblin looks around, does a dance, and disappears for another year. The rest of the characters don't seem to like him that much -- until [[spoiler:he saves them from a Carnivorous Undead Sheep]] in "[[http://www.homestarrunner.com/ween08.html Most in the Graveyard]]".
257	----
258	* ArmlessBiped: He has no arms.
259	* BigDamnHeroes: In ''Most In Graveyard'', [[spoiler:when he saves Homestar and Pom Pom from the undead sheep]].

261	* CoolCar: According to Bubs's fireside story, [[http://www.hrwiki.org/wiki/File:gremlin_homestarloween.png he owns a tricked-out]] [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gremlin_%28car%29 '73 Gremlin]]. (Note [[Franchise/BackToTheFuture flux capacitor]].)

276	%%* ArmlessBiped: Has no arms.

292	----
293	* CoveredInGunge: In order to match the smell of The Poopsmith in the VOQPCS, The King of Town and his remaining men jump into The Poopsmith’s whatsit pile. After the cut before them landing into it, they are shown splattered in the stuff.
294	* EpicFail: The Knight is horribly lacking with his throwing spear, as shown when he hits "[[OneHitKill Instant Death]]" instead of "Sanitize" on the Multi-Function Dragon in the VOQPCS.
295	* SatelliteCharacter: All of the servants (aside from the Poopsmith) are more or less random people that only fill their niche as people working for the King Of Town and don't get much characterization than that.
296	* TheSingingMute: The Hornblower is the only one out of the group that has yet to talk aside from blowing an horn or some other brass instrument in nearly every time he's shown up.
297	* UnfortunateNames: According to "Fan 'Stumes 2022", The Knight's real name is "Sir Toptingler". This is the reason he's only known as "The Knight".
298	* VoiceOfTheLegion: The Cleric has an incredibly reverbated voice, although he's not evil.

305	----
306	* ButtMonkey: Tends to be this when he's recording Homestar trying to get his lines right, only to fail constantly.

308	* TheFaceless: His face is never shown as he's always shown in the background.
309	* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: He won the Remote Put event in the Strong Badathelon.

314	-> Debut: ''"Teen Girl Squad 13"''
315	A popular rapper who specializes in guest appearances, even guest-starring in his own album.
316	----
317	* CharacterCatchphrase: "Ya Biscuitheads!"
318	* {{Cuckoosnarker}}: He refuses to take most of the artists he's guest-starring with seriously, leading to a lot of this. For example, he ordered breakfast in the middle of "Rap Song" after getting fed up with Coach Z's lame rhymes.
319	* EccentricArtist: The man once ordered breakfast in the middle of a rap song and guest-starred on his own album.
320	* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: It's left ambiguous whether or not he's an actual rapper or if he's a fictional creation of Strong Bad's or the Cheat's as he's only appeared in Teen Girl Squad and Powered by the Cheat videos. He is shown doing compilations with Taranchula and Coach Z.
321	* OnlyInItForTheMoney: "Trudgemank" includes a NewhartPhoneCall where he turns down an offer to feature in a Taranchula song... before being told how much he'll get paid for it and changing his mind on the spot.

323	* AWildRapperAppears: He's "the best guest rapper in the music biz". It's the entirety of his career, to the point where he ''guest-starred on his own album.''

326	[[folder:Humidibot]]
327	!!Humidibot
328	-> Debut: ''"Fan Costumes 2015"''
329	A robotic (de)humidifier. Little is know about him other than that he has a girlfriend named Humidibeth and that he likes to tell people his name.
330	----
331	* AscendedExtra: To a small degree. Strong Bad was impressed, if confused, when someone dressed up as him for Halloween... when the character was just a way to make fun of someone's room in an ''earlier'' Halloween video.
332	* CaptainObvious: He loves to tell everyone that he's Humidibot, not as a way to introduce himself but just to state it as a matter of fact.
333	-->Hi Marzipan, it's me! Humidibot! Just wanted to call you up to let you know that I'm still Humidibot!
334	* DistaffCounterpart: Humidibeth.
335	* FlatCharacter: {{Parodied\|Trope}}. He's painfully aware that he has no character outside of telling everybody that he's Humidibot and wants to expand his personality beyond this.
336	* NonIndicativeName: Strong Bad later realizes that he's actually a [=DEhumidifier=] rather than a humidifier. In addition, the device in the photograph that inspired Humidibot was actually an air purifier.

341	-> Debut: ''"Homestar Runner Goes for the Gold"''
342	A brown, vaguely mammalian creature with large ears and tusks.
343	----
344	* BumblingSidekick: His attempt to sabotage Strong Sad fails miserably; he pulls out a missile, but he nearly loses his grip as his tusk falls out. His tusk impales Strong Bad in the head, he falls on him, and the missile explodes.
345	* CharacterTics: His left tusk has a tendency to fall out whenever he speaks.
346	* MinionWithAnFInEvil: He is not very good at being evil.
347	* PunnyName: His name is a pun of the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Didgeridoo didgeridoo]], an Australian Aboriginal wind instrument.
348	* SpeechImpediment: On top of constantly falling out of his mouth, his tusks severely hamper his speech and make him sound like he is chewing on straws.
349	* SuckSessor: The Cheat despises him for replacing him as Strong Bad's sidekick, even closing the crate on him the second he pops the lid open. Even in the context of the story where he's introduced, Strong Bad states that he regrets recruiting Dijjery Doo onto his team almost immediately. (Strong Bad is far more impressed when The Sneak makes a cameo and literally ''mugs'' SB's competition.)
