Recap / Homestar Why Come Only One Girl

Go To

Airdate: October 27, 2006

A DVD exclusive cartoon documenting the history of why Marzipan is the only female character in the Homestar Runner universe.


Tropes:

  • Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: There was a female character called "The Hurricane" who made it to Flash and was ready to be animated. Then, a new The Legend of Zelda game was released and distracted the Brothers Chaps.
  • Casanova Wannabe: Strong Bad attempts to ask the ladies out, but they all give him a slap to the face. He even introduced one of them to The Cheat, but Strong Bad gets slapped anyway.
  • Distaff Counterpart: Champeen, who appears in the background of the Dancin' Bubs game, is meant to be this to Homestar Runner.
  • Enfants Terribles: Preshy and Rafferty, Homestar's cousins. The second they arrive, they immediately begin annoying him and beating him up. They even had him tied to some railway tracks!
    Preshy: I love you, Homestar.
    Homestar: I have a hard time believing that.
  • The Smart Guy: Homeschool Winner, another rejected character, is this, having won first place in a "Quiz Bowl". This annoys the narrator, who calls him a "weaselly know-it-all" and mutters "Boy, I'd like to clean his clock..."
  • The Smurfette Principle: Discussed throughout the entire cartoon. It also points out a number of failed attempts to defy the trope.
  • Terms of Endangerment: Preshy and Rafferty affectionately call Homestar "Uncle Homestar", even as they're pummeling him and generally being loud and annoying.
