Think about it. The same cast of characters, Marzipan being the only girl similar to Kanga being the only female, and Free Country USA is the Homestar equivalent to the Hundred-Acre-Wood. Strong Bad and Tigger are also [[BreakoutCharacter Breakout Characters]] and are more recognizable alongside the title character.

The only difference is that while Winnie-the-Pooh appeals more to kids, Homestar Runner appeals more to teens and young adults.

[[WMG:What's Her Face was inspired by Strong Sad.]]
Both are unpopular amongst their friends and cast aside, despite both being the smartest of the bunch. What's Her Face is also the only character who's default expression is frowning. Strong Bad may have wanted to make a teen girl version of his brother as a stealth joke.

[[WMG: The Brothers Strong have long lost sisters]]
* Matt once said the negative side of his relationship with Mike loosely inspired Strong Bad's with Strong Sad's. The two also have an older brother. They also also call themselves The Brothers Chaps in a similar fashion to The Brothers Strong. Since they have two older sisters, what if The Strong Brothers have long lost sisters? Though their names would be up to your imagination.

[[WMG: Strong Sad and his three greatest fears]]
In "The Homestar Runner Enters The Spooky Woods", the mechanics of death and ghosthood are revealed. Once someone [[DeadlyEuphemism "gives up the ghost"]], they have until the witching hour to face their three greatest fears, each one giving them a piece of their corporeal form back. The incorporeal ghost forms are purely black and white, with not even a shade, whereas the corporeal bits are in full color.
Strong Sad inhabits a strange state in between corporeal and ghostly, having shades of gray but no real hue to his body, and on multiple occasions he has been said or shown to be at least partially dead.
The reason for this, I think, is that Strong Sad didn't face his fears well enough when he died the first time. For each fear, he ended up taking a course of action that displayed a sort of submissive apathy, in such a way that he ''kind of'' faced his fears, but on the other hand, did he really? In the end, this approach left him in the state he's in now, a pitiful creature who inhabits a space nobody should.

Ok... this is'nt so much a WMG, this is actually [[WordOfGod a confirmation]] from Matt Chapmans' niece (Astrid Renee, AKA "little girl" from the puppet stuff) as shown in the comments [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZworuNzjrIU here.]] It reveals why Homestar Runner has stopped, the Bros. aren't living close to each other any more! which brings me to my next WMG...

[[WMG:Strong Sad wasn't always grey.]]
In "Homestar Runner Enters The Spooky Woods", Homestar Runner turns black and white when he dies and becomes a ghost. He regains his color and his life as he faces his three greatest fears. Perhaps Strong Sad only faced each fear halfway, or faced his third fear just after the witching hour, or something like that, so he was able to avoid being pulled into the afterlife, but he still kept many ghostly traits, such as his monochrome palette, the inability to appear in certain types of photos, and possibly his "soft serve flip".

** No no no. Homestar is the Doctor, and Strong Bad is the Master. They got tired of all the posturing, and decided to make their own little multi-verse where they could act out their rivalry (complete with FoeYay) out as they pleased.

Because, c'mon: the [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar Radar-dodging]] yet still kid-friendly brand of humor would fit right in with ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime''. In addition, Creator/AdultSwim tried to make a deal with the Brothers Chaps a few years ago, but they probably declined out of the fear that Adult Swims execs would [[ExecutiveMeddling make it too adult]] like Spike TV execuas did with ''WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow''. Besides, it's not like Cartoon Network has an aversion to ''[[WesternAnimation/TotalDrama crappy]]'' [[WesternAnimation/AlmostNakedAnimals Flash]] [[WesternAnimation/JohnnyTest cartoons]], so why not pick up a genuinely ''good'' Flash cartoon for once?

[[WMG: Mr. Poofers is an [[SCPFoundation SCP]]]]
There are tons of "memetic" [=SCPs=]. Sentient literary characters, numbers that drive people crazy, ideas with wills of their own. As an in-universe fictional dog that cannot be killed, Mr. Poofers would fit right in. Especially considering Strong Bad and the rest of the gang end up worshipping him as their dark overlord.

* Ekersby has a ham for a "heart". While this could be the result of glitchy graphics, it's a trait in common with the King of Town.
* The Liekand is probably something Strong Bad made up when Strong Sad asked to be included in the same universe as Stinkoman; a tornado with sunglasses to represent Strong Sad's attempts to be cool, the tornado likely done in reference to Strong Sad's "wispy" look, [[spoiler:with the tornado actually being a fat grey mouse which Stinkoman punts into the stratosphere.]]
* Harvax ''could'' be 20X6 Homsar, but him being Homsar is a stretch. However, with just how out-of-place he is in a jungle full of robotic sealife, as well as his hat and gaping mouth, there are some similarities.
