Line 8:
* Consider how horrifying most of the cast would look if their bodies were subject to the laws of nature. Even if you ignore the several missing limbs, Bubs has flippers, Marzipan is implied to have some kind of sluglike foot in place of legs, Strong Bad's face is at least partially removable, and Coach Z has a face in only the loosest definition of the word. The oldest cast member, the King of Town, could possibly be just a cartoonish human under that Santaman cape thingy, and the youngest, presumably Strong Sad, is both the most grounded in reality and most realistic in his appearance. He has a complete head (unlike the otherwise humanoid Strong Mad), arms with actual ''fingers'' (while half the cast are still working on the whole "arms" business), and feet with toes (animal feet, but it's something). This variation in mutations implies that whatever warped Free Country's reality started off slowly, came into full force at around the time of Homestar and Marzipan's births (living flesh broomstick?!), and waned slowly since. Homsar, with his vague age and origin, is some kind of anomaly, it's possible that he's the cause of all the chaos in the first place. Or, as stated above, he is God.
** Strong Sad, being the smartest and least mutated of the cast, is depressed (and used to dream of his own death) because unlike his companions, he's ''aware'' of how horribly, nightmarishly wrong their existence is.
** Alternatively, the experiment affected Homsar so badly that reality itself actually distorts in his presence. He's not an anomaly, he's their greatest success.
* The name "Free Country, USA" implies extreme patriotism to the point of potential propaganda, meaning that the US government might be responsible for whatever it is that's going on down there. Will we be seeing amputee telepaths and wrestlemen deployed in Iraq?
** Um, you seem to be forgetting something. We've only see Crack Stuntman's upper body. I have a feeling that from the waist down he looks like Da Huuuuuuuuuudge.

== Here's how the story goes... == The military attempted to create a team of superior beings for use in warfare, but all were either failures (Strong Sad, Bubs and Coach Z have no superhuman abilities that we've seen), not geared toward combat (either physically like Marzipan or mentally like Homestar himself), or simply too powerful to be controlled (as demonstrated by the reality-warping powers of Homsar and, to an extent, Strong Bad). They were sealed in a specially constructed underground dome, but the government knew that even that could not stop them if they wanted to break free. They created an entire community for the beings, keeping them happy so they would not attempt an assault on human society, supplying Strong Bad with infinite e-mails to focus his near-omnipotence on and airing propaganda cartoons such as the Cheat Commandos to attempt to make the Homestar Runner-ers see things our way (they probably see the cartoons as being as ridiculous as we do).
** Bubs DOES have superhuman abilities. Not only as the Thnikkaman, but he used to have the ability to hover. Of course, then he lost it by saying sbu, but still....
** Strong Sad also appears to have the power of il-l-l-l-lusion according to the sbemail "magic trick."
** What about Strong Mad? Super strong, too dumb to disobey orders, pretty much invincible? If beings like that existed, I can imagine quite a few governments willing to strap a helmet on them (somehow...) and point them at their enemies.
*** Sadly, they would be too easy to trick: all they would have to do is broadcast video and audio of The Cheat, and the Strong Mads will run joyously into enemy fire.
== Or rather, Free Country USA is the product of Homsar's deranged imagination. == Rather than some reality-bending accident, everything we see are the delusions of Homsar, who is really an incurably insane human locked in a madhouse somewhere. It would explain why everything seems to defy space, time, and logic, as well as the bizarre appearances of all the characters and places. Adding to that, this insane world could very well be the collective unconscious of several inmates, such as the manically depressed Coach Z, or the emotionally unstable Strong Sad.

* Strong Bad's Evidence: In true ten-to-twenty-four-year-old male style, he picks on Homestar for no obvious reason other than his mere existence. Like teasing a girl in third grade, a sure sign of a crush. Plus, when he created Stinko Man, the first person besides himself he adapted for it? You guessed it. Wouldn't you think he would have gone for The Cheat, or one of his brothers? Homestar is obviously on his mind.
* Also, in the 2007 Halloween special, [https://web.archive.org/web/20131026064820/http://www.homestarrunner.com/ween07.html Jibblies 2], he seems fairly resigned to living the rest of his life with Homestar Runner and "turning into Mole Men"... just how does that work?

Line 192:
== Strong Bad was planning out the events in 8-Bit Is Enough long before it happened. ==
That's why he stopped drawing "The S is for Sucks Dragon"; it wasn't strong enough. He drew Trogdor because he was more fit for the job. Think about how many coincidences had to happen before Trogdor came to life: he had to make Dangeresque 3 (and, therefore, 2 and 1), everyone had to hate it, the Trogdor machine had to be next to the TV, and he had to hit it at just the right angle in order to break the logic board. Also, Homestar had to be irradiated by the Taranchula Black Metal Detector after swallowing his quarter, Videlectrix had to call back just too late, and the sender of "dragon" had to send it in the first place. Think about how many things created by Strong Bad were involved: Trogdor, Dangeresque, Taranchula... He was pulling the strings. He was a puppet master, and we were his puppets. He was originally going to take over Free Country, USA, with Trogdor, but when Strong Badia was burninated, years of planning collapsed and he just had to end it. It makes sense!

[[Exactly What It Says
== Homsar's parents are divorced ==
The reasoning is simple. When we get a picture of them, it says"Homsar's parents" on the bottom, meaning the Coffee that raised him was married to the Chipwich. However, he says "I was raised by coffee", not "I was raised by coffee and a chipwich". Meaning, the chipwich walked out on the coffee at some point.
* It naturally follows that Homsar's odder tendancies stem from the stress that this event placed on him when he was young.
* Except Homsar never said he was raised by a cup of coffee. That was Strong Bad's imagination.

He's obviously not human, so [[Alien Blood|why not]]? Also, the Homestar Runner Wiki's page on blood mentions no instances of Strong Sad bleeding, so this hasn't been [[Jossed]] yet.

== Marzipan and Homestar will break up for the final time. ==
They break up and get back together once every month...once every EPISODE. He calls her "hey, stupid" by ACCIDENT, and she has gone out on 2 dates WHILE STILL BEING HIS GIRLFRIEND. ONE OF SAID DATES WAS WITH THE CHEAT. Eventually, they will realize they have nothing in common.
Then, in a true moment of fangirl-dream-fulfillment, Marzipan will realize she was looking for someone all along who had athletic and semi-musical talents like Homestar, but was willing to be submissive to her every whim, and we will witness the formation of a couple between her and Coach Z. Because we can dream.

** Maybe its a variant called a Doom Note, which allows for you to inflict a "doom", which here means any unpleasant happening, lethal or not, as long as you write in rhyme. (Also, I now have a mental picture of Strong Bad with a Death Note, shouting "DELETED!" every time he writes a name.)

== Marzipan is what shattered the childhood friendship between Homestar Runner, Strong Bad, and Strong Sad. ==
Line 376:
* Let this be a warning to ''all'' fans of [[Interspecies Romance]] stories.
== Free Country, USA is really a [[Changeling: The Lost
* All the characters escaped at around the same time, and set up Free Country USA as a freehold. Homestar is a member of the Spring Court, Strong Bad and Strong Mad are members of the Summer Court, Bubs is either a member of the Autumn Court or a Goblin Market merchant, and Strong Sad is a member of the Winter Court. Homsar and Coach Z have the highest Wyld, and might turn into True Fae at any moment, which is why everyone hates them.

It could partially explain why he gets picked on so much.
== There are no updates because the events of ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20121216061324/http://www.sitesled.com/members/rclock/pp11.html/ Pom Pom's Eleven]'' are taking place right now. ==

Line 399:
== The real reason for the lack of updates since late 2009... ==
Normally, the [[Halloween Episode|Halloween Episodes]] don't have much of an effect on the series' [[Loose Canon]]; if they did, Homestar would still be stuck in the Horrible Painting after Jibblies 2. Unfortunately, whatever the Brothers Chaps put in for that cartoon they forgot to do for the 2009 episode. That's right. ''Strong Sad [[Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies|actually doomed everyone]].'' The Cheat is eaten, Homestar was transformed into a macrame hanging on a [[The Seventies|seventies]] basement wall and into Coach Z [[
* Given there's no Halloween toon for the first time in a decade, I'm going to say that's correct. Except its more of a [[Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies]] than a [[Total Party Kill]].

Sickly Sam has constantly been implied to be undead. Old-Timey Strong Sad from the main page is shot out of a cannon... that would have killed him, right?

Line 479:
== Homsar's bowler cap is actually some creature that is brainwashing him. ==
The bowler cap creature is usually resting, but still holds it's powers. Homsar sometimes tries to break free from the bowler cap creature by talking (so he can startle it), but since he is being brainwashed, his thought are all jumbled, and the bowler cap creature goes right back to his head.

Think about it: he seems to have a lot of money, he can obviously handle himself in a fight, and, most importantly, he has a sizeable group of attractive ladies readily available. It is almost as if he "owns" them, if you catch my drift.

== The site had to end because of Homsar's death in ''A Decemberween Mackeral''. ==
Now, we all know that every now and then, Homsar [[Death Is Cheap|dies]], [[They Killed Kenny|only to always come back good as new in the next cartoon]]. But remember the ''[[South Park]]'' episode where Kenny died...''for real''? That's what happened here. There was only one cartoon after it, and despite it being Halloween-ish, ''it didn't have Homsar''.
** An alternate theory: All Homsar deaths prior to this one were him being crushed by very large objects. However, he was so dense and reality bending, he survived it every time. However, since this time, he died for no reason, he could not survive it, forcing the site to end.
* Not to burst your bubble, but... there's a couple problems with that theory. First of all, a Decemberween Mackerel isn't the last 'toon so far. Which Ween Costumes came after (Homsar wasn't in it, but this was likely a coincidence). Second of all, Homsar didn't die. He was dy''ing''. He wasn't dying for no reason, either; he was dying because he was left to starve in the cold winter.
* Nah, they found him in time and rushed him to the hospital, Marzipan got him some more flowers, and the status quo was restored. Besides, even if he ''did'' die, they could just replace him and we'd never know the difference; [[In

* TBC have actually turned down an offer for an H*R TV series. Twice. Besides, a good portion of Homestar Runner's humor is '80s and early '90s pop culture references (which aren't always subtle) and those probably wouldn't appeal to the childrens very well. Not to mention that H*R has always been a [[Cult Classic]], and if it got more mainstream, it could gain the potential to bring out the more... disturbing parts of the fandom.
