5 | !!Tropes |
6 | * AccidentalMisnaming: Homsar annoys Bubs by calling him "Tubs". |
7 | * {{Calvinball}}: Homsar seems to treat his game of ''TabletopGame/ConnectFour'' with Strong Sad like this: |
8 | -->'''Homsar:''' Oh no! You shanked my Jengaship! |
9 | -->'''Strong Sad:''' I shanked your Jengaship? We're playing ''Connect Four!''. |
10 | * ComicallyMissingThePoint: When Homestar tries to convince Marzipan to put down Homestar Jr., she seems to think the sandwich is talking to her. |
11 | -->'''Marzipan:''' Homestar Junior's talking now! He said "put that freakin' sandwich down!" |
12 | * CompanionFood: Marzipan becomes increasingly obsessed with the "veggie burger with kind-of-a-face" Homestar made for her, to the point of nicknaming it "Homestar Jr." and constantly gushing about how cute he is. |
13 | * ContinuityNod: |
14 | ** While looking for the Cheat, Strong Mad stumbles across [[Recap/HomestarRunnerHomestarloweenParty the Goblin and his Gremlin]]. |
15 | ** Bubs asks Strong Sad [[Literature/WhereMyHatIsAt "Where The Cheat is at?"]] in those exact words. |
16 | * CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot: The cast spends most of the episode searching for The Cheat simply because Strong Bad didn't bother to check the place where The Cheat lives, as a confused Coach Z points out. |

18 | -->'''Bubs:''' Don't you talk to me! |
19 | * FunnyBackgroundEvent: When it cuts from Strong Sad back to Strong Bad, you can just hear Strong Sad moaning the phrase "Tonight is my night to play caaardinal sins" over the phone. |
20 | * HollywoodBoardGames: Homsar and Strong Sad are playing what appears to be a [[CalvinBall weird mix]] of ''TabletopGame/{{Battleship}}'' and ''TabletopGame/{{Jenga}}'', but is actually ''TabletopGame/ConnectFour''. This is meant to highlight their obliviousness and randomness. |
21 | * ItKindOfLooksLikeAFace: The sandwich "Homestar Jr.", with two olives on top as eyes and the veggie patty as its mouth. |
22 | * MediumAwareness: Strong Bad reassures Strong Mad by telling him "Don't worry, big guy, we'll cut to a montage. I mean, find the Cheat." |
23 | * NotWhatItLooksLike: Coach Z immediately assumes the King of Town is "gonna eat the Chort" when he sees the Cheat asleep on the [=KoT=]'s grill. Turns out the King of Town's grill is where the Cheat lives. |
24 | * OverlyLongGag: The scenes with Marzipan gushing over "Homestar Jr." |
25 | * ParodyCommercial: The cartoon ends with a {{stinger}} featuring a deadpan announcer advertising the "Homestar Jr." as if it were a lunch special at a family-style diner chain. |

27 | * PunchedAcrossTheRoom: Strong Mad punches the King of Town into the wall of his own castle to "rescue" the Cheat. |

29 | * TheUnreveal: Strong Bad prepares to explain why he didn't think to check the King of Town's grill for the Cheat, when Marzipan interrupts to talk about Homestar Jr. some more. |
30 | * VerbalBackspace: When Homestar walks in with Marizpan's lunch: |
31 | -->'''Homestar:''' Hey, stupid! I brought you this stuff! I mean, I brought you this veggie burger. |
