Under the soft-style narration of Strong Bad, Characters 1 and 2 go on an inordinately long walk in search of lost gumption.
Tropes:
- Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: The side-effects of Smarty Juice includes "drowsiness, euphoria, and unbelievably soothing children's programming".
- Continuity Nod: The "Yonder Website" versions of the characters are based on the "Cartoon Characters" episode of Strong Bad's Skills of an Artist series, where Strong Bad draws simplified versions of himself and Homestar and labels them "Character 1" and "Character 2".
- Dance Party Ending: The time comes for everyone to bend at the knees, at which point they do.
- Deliberately Monochrome: All the Characters from Yonder Website are drawn in black and white.
- Expy: All of characters 1 through 8 are re-drawn versions of a 'regular' character.
- Lemony Narrator: Strong Bad repeatedly interacts with the characters and narrates in a mellow, soothing manner that's extremely out-of-character for him. This is, of course, because he's completely tripping.
- Mushroom Samba: The episode is revealed to be the result of the regular cast all tripping on expired Smarty Juice.
- Noodle Implements: The Characters' "personal type of spice" run the gamut from relatively pedestrian (talcum powder for Character 3 and a spilled glass for Character 2) to utterly bizarre (a dead blobfish for Character 5 and an eyeball with buckteeth and a beaver tail for Character 1).
- Not So Above It All: Strong Sad is revealed to be the only main character not to have drunk the Smarty Juice. He ends up trying some anyway because it doesn't sound half-bad.
- Product Placement: Today's episode of Characters From Yonder Website is brought to you by "a grant from Greencheat and our corporate sponsors: Smarty Juice: A faceless MegaCorp with a couple of hills on the logo". It's revealed that this is because the cartoon is a result of the cast tripping out on expired Smarty Juice.
- Speaking Simlish: The Yonder Website versions of the cast all speak in different types of gibberish.
- Sugar Bowl: The universe of the Characters from Yonder Website is more playful and sedated than Free Country, USA.
- Surreal Humour: The entire short runs on a parody of "unbelievably soothing children's programming", which involves characters solving their problems by "going on an inordinately long walk", thinking up ways to combine their "personal type of spice", and taking time out of the day to "bend at the knees".
- Stylistic Suck: While not as overtly amateurish as Powered by the Cheat segments, the simplistic plot, music and character designs are thrown in sharp relief to the 'regular' style.
- Tranquil Fury: The narrator gently, but quite firmly, reminds both Character 1 and Character 2 there should be "absolutely no talking" on their "inordinately long walk".
- Verbal Tic: The narrator frequently uses "That's right" or "Far out" to punctuate sentences.
"That's right."
