Trivia / Homestar Runner Goes for the Gold

• Development Gag:
  • From the Easter Egg, the three frames of animation that Strong Bad created in Mario Paint were actually Matt and Mike's abortive attempt to animate this very cartoon in Mario Paint for real. Like Strong Bad, they gave up because it was taking way too long.
  • While recording Dijjery Doo's lines, Matt Chapman would stick two markers in his mouth, to simulate speaking around giant tusks. One of the markers kept falling out, which inspired the running gag of Dijjery Doo's tusk falling out.
• Milestone Celebration: This cartoon was made to celebrate the 20th anniversary of The Homestar Runner Enters the Strongest Man in the World Contest, the original children's book that started the whole franchise.
