Let's count all of the Homestar Runner references in the comic!

Rick loves to slip in subtle nods to the internet's favorite no-armed terrific athlete Homestar Runner!
I think we should use this forum to find all of the references he's managed to slip in for those who love the series as much as I do and hopefully we can show Rick that we love Homestar as much as he does!

My favorite one so far is Dognut which not only feature a very familiar donut shop name, but is also named after a joke within it

So its been a few days. How many references have people found?

Man, I loved Donut Unto Others. It just felt like an old-school Homestar Runner toon.

I would adore if anyone could make an exhaustive list. Obsessive fans... get on it!

One example I noticed pretty early was that tissues are all labeled "Tish, You!"

[Amazee Dayzee]

I thought that was just a funny play on words. I never knew it was a reference.

Yup it's actually a reference to this (now very relevant) short Sick Day!

Also that time Rick sneaked the wagon-fulla pancakes song into the alt-text of this comic~

[Amazee Dayzee]

How many references do you think Rick included in the comic in just the first year alone? LOL

[bjchan95]

I found another one!
We’ll Meet At The End Of The Tour is a reference to the Strong Bad Email Theme Park!

[Amazee Dayzee]

How many references is that then you found? Not being sarcastic but I do want to know.

I listed the ones I found on the wikia: sufficient to say, it’s a lot.

Not qualified for this one, gang.

[Amazee Dayzee]

I'm not either because while I know what Homestar Runner is, I never read it nor am I interested in it.

I thought they meant "RoadRunner".

[Amazee Dayzee]

Not sure how you would get those two which are completely contrasting confused but I'm not here to judge.

[NHWestoN]

Hey, I first crossed it up with "Blade Runner." Free association leads you over some strange ledges.

[Amazee Dayzee]

I can't honestly say that free associations for me have also lead me to make strange connections with things also.

[NHWestoN]

So ........... did we count'em all?

[Amazee Dayzee]

I'm still thinking some people are still counting.

[NHWestoN]

Count on it!

[Amazee Dayzee]

That is what I have been doing. XD

[NHWestoN]

Did we get 'em all?

[Amazee Dayzee]

Not sure. You would have to ask somebody who is an expert at it.
