Marzipan dressed as Beaker.
Homestar Runner (H*R) is a web-based Flash cartoon series created by "The Brothers Chaps," Mike and Matt Chapman. This series that revolves around the title character Homestar Runner, his friends, and their would-be nemesis Strong Bad.
The series makes frequent references to the Muppets, the most obvious of which are the "Puppet Stuff" shorts, in which several H*R characters appear in puppet form. The "Vs." series of Puppet Stuff shorts, which feature Homestar and Strong Bad alongside Little Girl (or Other Little Girl), are reminiscent of the Sesame Street segments in which a Muppet character interacts with a young child. The most recent of these shorts, which pitted Homestar against a baby may very well be a reference to Elmo asking a baby questions in Elmo's World.
Other Muppet references include:
- "Halloween Potion-Ma-Jig" - The 2005 Halloween cartoon features Marzipan dressed as Beaker.
- "Teen Girl Squad" issue 7, in which the normal teenage girl characters appear as toddlers called the Teeny Tiny Girl Squad. The Brothers Chaps, the creators of H*R, have said this is a direct homage to Muppet Babies. Speaking of which...
- "Strong Bad Email #140 - highschool," in which several regular H*R characters appear as (in Strong Bad's words) "melon-headed babies with gigantic eyes and enormous imaginations." Homestar himself takes the role of Nanny, wearing red and white striped bloomers instead of green and white striped stockings.
- "Strong Bad Email #110 - for kids," in which the character Homsar hosts a children's show called "Whaddaya Know, Haddi-Man?", which is very similar to Sesame Street.
- "Strong Bad Email #44 - lures & jigs," in which Strong Bad and Coach Z go fishing in a scene similar to a Sesame Street skit involving Bert and Ernie on a fishing trip.
- "Jibblies 2" - The 2007 Halloween cartoon features Homsar as The Typewriter from Sesame Street.
