(Not to be confused with Home Star Runner, the Irish pop-punk band. If you’re here due to the pop-punk band, do last.fm and yourself a favor, Fix your artist tags.)

Homestar Runner (often abbreviated HR, HSR or H*R) is a Flash cartoon series. It mixes an absurdist sense of humor with copious references to 1980s and 1990s pop culture, notably video games, classic television and popular music. Although originally conceived as a book written for children, the series is most popular with college/university students and young adults.

Cartoons are nominally centered on Homestar Runner, a clumsy and unintelligent athlete. The series of cartoons in which the antagonist Strong Bad answers email from viewers is one of the most prominent features of the site. Strong Bad works closely with his sidekick The Cheat and his muscle-bound older brother Strong Mad to prey on Strong Bad’s rotund and constantly depressed younger brother Strong Sad. Several other characters fill out the world: Homestar’s hippie girlfriend Marzipan, his best friend Pom Pom, their coach Coach Z, local businessman Bubs, The King of Town, The Poopsmith, and a surreal character Homsar who talks in nonsensical phrases, such as “I was raised by a cup of coffee!” or “I’m a trendy tote bag!”

By focusing on Internet distribution, the animated series has been able to reach a larger audience than they would otherwise have had access to. The site has built a loyal following and is updated constantly with new short movies, games, and music.

    Stupid Irish band...name yourself after something that isn't already releasing music :P I voted for the no-redirect for their (slightly) modified name, in the hopes that eventually their picture will leave my library.

    Dull bands that name themselves after something that's popular in an attempt to make themselves popular crack me up. [2]

    Everyone who thinks that the band is the Irish band should either stop Last FM auto correcting the name from Home Star Runner to Homestar Runner, or they should vote for the name to be changed to Home Star Runner by clicking the option to the right. >>>>>>
