* Strong Bad, claiming to be "Detective Everybody," tells Marzipan they have her boyfriend Homestar at the station, and... he's dead. Apparently he was so stupid that they had to put [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill 37 slugs in him]] [[InsaneTrollLogic to keep him from being even more stupid]]. He begins audibly {{corpsing}} as he asks her to come down and ID the body. "[[CrossesTheLineTwice Okay, have a good day]]."

* [[TalkativeLoon Homsar]] calls because he can somehow speak normally on the phone. It's funny, in a sad kind of way, to hear him complain about having to say things like "You're a pork rind's president!" when talking to people in person.

* "[[http://homestarrunner.com/yonderwebsite.html Characters From Yonder Website]]", a short parodying slow-paced children's animation, featuring simply-drawn, jibberish-spouting versions of the Homestar Runner cast trying to help "Character 2" (Homestar) get his "gumption" back, with Strong Bad providing uncharacteristically mellow narration. Especially with the reveal at the end that the whole thing was [[MushroomSamba hallucinated by the cast]] after drinking [[GRatedDrug expired "Smarty Juice"]]: "Side effects include drowsiness, euphoria, and unbelievably soothing children's programming."

** In one of the Easter eggs at the end, The Cheat gets stuck in back-facing mode, and Strong Bad desperately makes up his own spell to help him ("Mumble grumble humble pie / Make The Cheat turn back to his side!"). It instead results in Front-Facing The Cheat, who much to Strong Bad's disgust has both eyes on one side like some kind of flatfish.

** For the Poopsmith (dressed as [[Film/TheLastStarfighter Xur]]), he opts to a lifeline which is to call [[RunningGag Homsar]] (dressed as [[WesternAnimation/TheInspector Sgt.

* The cartoon itself opens with Strong Bad and The Cheat plotting to convince people to let them throw snowballs in their face.

** King of Town (dressed as Immortan Joe from ''Film/MadMaxFuryRoad'') guesses "what-you-look-like-when-you-first-wake-up-still-wearing-your-CPAP-machine". When Homestar instead guesses "Music/MotleyCrue in the ICÜ", the announcer tells the KOT "Back in the pit!" and drops him through a trap door under the stage.
** In the "Speedstipe" round, Homestar guesses Pom Pom (Billy Bob Brockalee of Theatre/TheRockAfireExplosion), The Cheat (dressed as [[Film/ETTheExtraterrestrial E.T. in his Halloween disguise]]), and Marzipan (Penny from the shorts on ''Series/PeeweesPlayhouse'') in quick succession. Homestar gets the first two right, but doesn't even bother with Marzipan and just holds up a sign reading "WE NEED BREAD, STILL!"

* Strong Bad exploits the fact that the text parser only looks at the first three letters of a word by typing things like "pus boo" instead of "push book" and "loo tim" instead of "look timepiece". It also causes him some difficulty tying to tie the rope to the parapets of the castle, as the parser keeps interpreting "parapets" as "parchment scroll".
