* On ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner'', the Strong Bad Email "virus" involves computer viruses not only infecting Strong Bad's computer, but apparently the Flash file for the cartoon itself, as reality starts falling apart in strange, interesting, and funny ways. This also created a [[http://www.homestarrunner.com/main22.html Main Page]] on the site based on the sbemail, though the "virus'd" components were just animations from scrolling over the buttons; the page is just as functional as the other Main Pages.

** Typing in an invalid URL on the site will bring up a "404'd" page in the style of Strong Bad's "Teen Girl Squad" comics. The title is a play on a RunningGag in Teen Girl Squad: injuries named with the object used to cause it, plus a "-'d" on the end (examples: [[spoiler: MSG'd, team manager'd... Strong Bad even [[LampshadeHanging LampshadeHanging'd]] it once: "Those Teen Girl Squad girls are sure gonna get something'd now!"]]) While this works with any URL that is not a valid file in the homestarrunner.com domain albeit not in a different directory (due to relative linking, pages such as [[http://www.homestarrunner.com/stinkogame/ this one]] will not load), the official URL is http://www.homestarrunner.com/404error.html.
** In the 150th e-mail, "Alternate Universe", the style of talking changes depending on which universe Strong Bad is in at the moment. For example, in the Strong Badman comic, speech bubbles show up during speech, and in the storybook universe, everything anyone says is subtitled like a children's book.
*** Also in the Strong Badman comic, Strong Bad tells Strong Badman that his comic is getting boring, then ''jumped out of the panel and landed in a later one'', thus basically gaining the power of ''time travel''.
** In Strong Sad's character introduction video, he is actually running his fingers through the side of the screen.
* In ''WebAnimation/IfTheEmperorHadATextToSpeechDevice'', the Emperor's subtitles are always rendered [[AC:like this]].
