    Homsar's brain injury, of course, starts a SBMail 4, when he is crushed by a large weight. In Marzipan's Answering Machine 5, Homsar leaves a message thanking Marzipan for sending him flowers while he was in the hospital. He states that he is feeling much better, but still can't feel his legs. In Marzipan's Answering Machine 17, Homsar leaves a message stating that he is able to speak coherently over the phone. He expresses frustration, calling his normal mode of speech, "the garbage that I spout." There's probably plenty of other evidence that I don't remember.

    Oh you've missed quite a bit with Strong Sad's death. Besides his general association with gloom and doom, being the deathly pallor and all, his singing of "Ghost of John" and his dressing as the reaper himself for Experimental Film, there's also the easter eggs in the sbemail "fingers", which feature a few appearances by Strong Sad's lifeless corpse crammed in various background elements of the imagined sequences.

    Technically there are two vocalists for They Might Be Giants. They were a duo, that then got a full-time backing band. The other original band member, singer and guitarist is John Flansburgh (hence them being known colloqueally by fans as the Two Johns, with the rest of the band consisting of two Dans and Marty on the drums.)

    Coach Z isn't homeless, he owns the gym. And sleeps in the locker room. He has bills to pay for it, which he forgets to do. Still, he has all sorts of mental and physical issues, not the least of which is his addiction to listerine, which he drinks regularly.

    A lot of incorrect or missing information here:
    1. Marshmellow's Last Stand has for many years been available on the site in the Museum section.
    2. The Homestar Runner RPG Demo ROM was in fact released. It can be played in an Atari 2600 emulator such as Stella and contains more than just the title screen, although it is very unfinished to the point that I would not call it a playable game exactly, but you can kind of explore it a little.

      "Cool Grundy" likely refers to an unused sprite of a Grundy wearing large sunglasses found in the game's files. It can be found on the Homestar Runner Wiki on the "Stinkoman 20X6 Trivia" article.
      "Homestar's Yearbook" was also the title of the site's old guestbook page where visitors could leave comments around 2002. This is likely what the iceberg was referring to, as the character menu mentioned in the video didn't have this title, and judging by Homestar's autograph in the yearbook, it didn't actually belong to Homestar.

    Homsar did acknowledge that he does spout out nonsense in Marizan's Answering Machine 17.2 but still does have the ability to do normal conversations. We don't count Episode 2 of SBCG4AP since that's different from the main core of the series.

    ok yes HUGE HUGE HUGE tip if you EVER want to do anything like this in the future. if you use quotes on google you can find pages which use the exact quote. i was able to find almost all of the entries you didnt understand using this method.
    The homsar brain damage thing is actually mentioned on the wiki discussion pages, and reddit a couple times. You were more or less right about it, but yeah it is an established theory within the community.
    Cool grundy is an unused variant of grundy found in the files of stinko man
    Early drafts of sbemails POSSIBLY refers to unused sbemails found in the code for SBCG4AP? Google didnt help with this one.
    14:32 not really an error but he's specifically mentioned to drink listerine on two occasions. (OK IM SO STUPID. YOU SAYING UNSPECIFIC MOUTHWASH WAS A REFERENCE TO DECEMBERWEEN MACKRECEL!!!! I FEEL SO DUMB LOL. IM A FAKE FAN 😭😭😭😭)
    The "wii tutorial in game files" refers to how in the files of the PC version of the game it contains audio for the tutorial of the wii version which is slightly different (it talks about using the wii remote instead of a mouse.)
    About homeschool winner slight up date as of 2023 he possibly makes a cameo in the new dangeresque roomventure game. there's a sillohette in the arcade which looks a lot like him, though it might just be a generic character.
