==Other media==

=== Music ===
The Homestar Runner site frequently features songs and videos within their animated shorts or as stand-alone entities. These are primarily sung and performed either by the characters or by fictitious artists serving as parodies of various genres. Real-life musicians [[They Might Be Giants]] have collaborated multiple times with the Homestar Runner site. In 2004, the Homestar Runner characters were featured in the music video to their song [[Experimental Film (song)|Experimental Film]]. Additionally, they have performed multiple times with a puppet of Homestar Runner. They have also collaborated on several other shorts, including Strong Bad Email #200, ''email thunder''.

In Strong Bad Email #58, ''dragon'', Strong Bad is asked to draw a [[dragon]], creating '''Trogdor, the Burninator''' (stylized as '''TROGDOR, the BURNİNATOR'''), and performing his heavy metal theme song. Trogdor's popularity saw the character appear on merchandise such as T-shirts, hoodies, and posters, with an extended version of the song appearing on the CD ''Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits''.

In 2002, a fictional [[Glam rock|hair metal]] band, Limozeen, was introduced as a parody of 1980s bands such as [[Skid Row (American band)|Skid Row]], [[White Lion]] and [[Poison (American band)|Poison]]; with songs including "Because, It's Midnite" and "Nite Mamas". On March 17, 2008, "Limozeen" (actually the Atlanta indie band [[Y-O-U]] along with Matt Chapman on vocals) performed a live show in Atlanta, Georgia,<ref>{{Cite web |title=Limozeen Live! |url=http://www.homestarrunner.com/limolive.html |last1=Chapman, Matt |last2=Chapman, Mike |year=2008 |website=homestarrunner.com |format=SWF |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080321133118/http://www.homestarrunner.com/limolive.html |archive-date=March 21, 2008}}</ref> and again on November 8, 2008, opening for indie pop band [[of Montreal]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Zeenin' into Larger Venues! |url=http://www.homestarrunner.com/limolive_om.html |last1=Chapman, Matt |last2=Chapman, Mike |year=2008 |website=homestarrunner.com |format=SWF |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081016061032/http://www.homestarrunner.com/limolive_om.html |archive-date=October 16, 2008}}</ref> A [[college rock]] band called Sloshy (with the logo stylized in lower case and rotated 180 degrees, with the "o" being a different color, as "'''ʎɥs<span style="color:red">o</span>ןs'''") was introduced in 2007. Sloshy features songs in the musical vein of [[Pavement (band)|Pavement]] such as "We Don't Really Even Care About You" and "The B-est of B-Sides". Other fictitious artists include Scandinavian [[death metal]] parody Taranchula (although performing more in a [[thrash metal]]/[[sludge metal]] style); rapper Peacey P, with a rapping style resembling that of [[Snoop Dogg]]; and the self-absorbed R&B artist Tenerence Love, a parody of [[Barry White]] and such artists.

===Browser games===
Beyond cartoons, ''Homestar Runner'' offers a variety of online games. Early games such as the Homestar [[Soundboard (Flash)|Soundboard]], "Homestar Talker",<ref>{{Cite web |title=Homestar Talker |url=http://www.homestarrunner.com/talky2.html |website=homestarrunner.com |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20010124043000/http://www.homestarrunner.com/talky2.html |archive-date=January 24, 2001 |access-date=May 28, 2006}}</ref> and [[Lite-Brite]] emulator "Astro-Lite 2600"<ref>{{Cite web |title=Astro-Lite 2600 |url=http://www.homestarrunner.com/litebrite.html |website=homestarrunner.com |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030805010718/http://www.homestarrunner.com/litebrite.html |archive-date=August 5, 2003 |access-date=April 30, 2008}}</ref> are basic web toys featuring the characters, and can now be found on the "Old Games" section of the site. Over time, more recent games have diversified and become more complex, with many being released as products of "Videlectrix", a game company within the world of Homestar Runner and a side project of The Brothers Chaps, spoofing games of the 1980s. Often the games would originate as video games played by the characters in the cartoon, such as ''Secret Collect'', ''StrongBadZone'', and ''Strong Bad's RhinoFeeder'', all parodies of early [[Atari]] and arcade games, originating in the Strong Bad Email ''video games''.

''TROGDOR!'' which previously appeared in the ''Arcade Game'' short, features the titular dragon Trogdor the Burninator attempting to burn all the cottages on each stage without being slain by knights. A spin-off of ''TROGDOR!'', called ''Peasant's Quest'', is an [[adventure game]] featuring Rather Dashing, a young peasant in short pants. After he finds his cottage burned to the ground, he vows to kill the destroyer of his cottage, Trogdor. The game uses a system that is a near-replica of [[Sierra Entertainment]]'s [[Adventure Game Interpreter]], used in ''[[King's Quest]]'', ''[[Space Quest]]'' and several other early Sierra titles. This system is something like [[text adventure]] games yet it has simple visuals. ''Stinkoman 20X6'' is a [[Mega Man]]-style [[platform game]] featuring the characters and world of anime parody [[#20X6|20X6]]. Nine levels were added to the game over the course of 2005, while the tenth and final level was not released until December 2020, days before Flash would no longer be supported by browsers.<ref name="Stinkoman">{{cite web | url = https://www.engadget.com/homestar-runner-stinkoman-15-year-old-flash-game-162009778.html | title = 'Homestar Runner' creators revive 15-year-old game right before Flash dies | first = Nathan | last = Ingraham | date = December 21, 2020 | access-date = December 21, 2020 | work = [[Engadget]] | archive-date = December 21, 2020 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20201221162521/https://www.engadget.com/homestar-runner-stinkoman-15-year-old-flash-game-162009778.html | url-status = live }}</ref>

The ''Thy Dungeonman'' series are parodies of text adventure games originating from Strong Bad Email #94, ''video games''. In each game, your goal is to "get ye flask". Though the game purports to be set in the [[medieval]] era, the text is actually rendered in mock [[Early Modern English]], in the style of [[William Shakespeare]]. ''Thy Dungeonman'' has two sequels: ''Thy Dungeonman II'', which expands on the features of the original game and can only be found on the Videlectrix site, and ''Thy Dungeonman III'' which adds basic graphics and can be found on the Homestar Runner site. "Ye Flask" and "You can't get ye flask" have become catch-phrases in the Homestar Runner universe, eventually spawning a T-shirt in the Homestar Runner store.

In 2007, the website produced [[Wii]] versions of some of the games on the site, for the Wii internet browser. When played on a computer, they use the mouse only.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Viidelectrix |url=http://www.videlectrix.com/vii |website=videlectrix.com |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070206213156/http://www.videlectrix.com/vii/ |archive-date=February 6, 2007 |access-date=June 29, 2008}}</ref>

Two point-and-click adventure game titles by the Brothers Chaps made in [[Unity (game engine)|Unity]] have been released to [[Steam (service)|Steam]] and [[Itch.io]], ''Halloween Hide & Seek'' and ''Dangeresque: The Roomisode Triungulate'', an expanded remake of the original ''Dangeresque: Roomisode 1'' web game that adds two new episodes.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Serin |first=Kaan  |date=May 31, 2023 |title=Telltale can "no longer sell" Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People |url=https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/telltale-can-no-longer-sell-strong-bads-cool-game-for-attractive-people |website=Rock, Paper, Shotgun}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.destructoid.com/dangeresque-the-roomisode-triungulate-is-gonna-have-to-jump-to-pc/ | title=Dangeresque: The Roomisode Triungulate is gonna have to jump to PC | date=May 25, 2023 }}</ref>

===Poker Night at the Inventory===
{{Main|Poker Night at the Inventory}}
Strong Bad appears as one of the computer-controlled opponents in Telltale's ''Poker Night at the Inventory'', using the same model from SBCG4AP. Players can unlock in-game card sets and table designs based on Homestar Runner. Additionally, Strong Bad will occasionally bet Dangeresque Too's sunglasses in place of in-game cash; defeating him after doing so will unlock the glasses as an equippable cosmetic item for the Demoman in ''[[Team Fortress 2]]''. The game was released for PC and Mac on November 22, 2010.

===Trogdor!! The Board Game===
''Trogdor!! The Board Game'' is a board game made by The Brothers Chaps in collaboration with [[James Ernest]]. The campaign was put on [[Kickstarter]] on Tuesday, July 17, 2018, with a goal of $75,000, which was surpassed in the first few hours. The campaign ended on Wednesday, August 15, 2018, with a total of $1,421,903 (nearly 20 times the goal) and 23,338 backers. In 2022, an expansion pack titled ''Majicks & 'Mergencies Expando Deck'' was released, adding new cards and gameplay elements. Extra copies are sold in the website's store.

Trogdor!! is described as a cooperative puzzle area control game in which the players work together to burninate all of the game tiles, thatched-roof cottages, and peasants. Every player controls Trogdor, assuming the role of one of the twelve "Keepers of Trogdor". Each Keeper has unique powers and items, both decided by cards. The game is for one to six players, and play time is 30 minutes with variable levels of difficulty the players can set. The recommended age is 14+. It comes with a mini-game titled "Stack 'Em To The Heavens" in which you stack the meeples in different ways. An album titled ''Trogdor!! The Board Game Rulebook EP'', was made to explain the rules of the game.

===Unofficial email worm===
An [[Computer worm|email worm]] named Lacon, which featured Homestar Runner characters, was created and distributed by someone going by the name of DimenZion in 2003.<ref name="vice.com">{{cite web |last1=danooct1 |title=This Worm Virus Forced Windows Users to Watch 'Homestar Runner' |url=https://www.vice.com/en/article/this-worm-virus-forced-windows-users-to-watch-homestar-runner/ |website=Vice |date=July 17, 2017 |access-date=11 February 2021 |archive-date=February 11, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210211201746/https://www.vice.com/en/article/59pj8q/this-worm-virus-forced-windows-users-to-watch-homestar-runner |url-status=live |author1-link=danooct1 }}</ref> It affected 32-bit Windows computers on the 10th of each month, emailing copies of itself to contacts in the computer's address book, and also adding various .exe files to the hard drive.<ref name="vice.com"/> Its final payload showed a Homestar Runner Flash animation called "The System is Down" in a browser window.<ref>{{cite web |last1=danooct1 |title=Email-Worm.Win32.Lacon |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTfTts205s0 |website=YouTube |access-date=11 February 2021 |archive-date=January 25, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210125112505/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTfTts205s0&ab_channel=danooct1 |url-status=live }}</ref>
