...what did you call all the characters? Like, before you learned their names? Here's mine:

Homestar: Olympics Mascot Guy
Strong Bad: Strong Bad, I knew his name from the start.
Strong Mad: Square Guy
Strong Sad: Ghost Man (his head is kind of ghost-lookin')
The Cheat: The Cheese (I misunderstood Strong Bad's pronunciation)
Bubs: Blue Face Guy.
Coach Z: Green Guy.
Marzipan: Earthworm Jim Female
Pom Pom: Big Orange Guy
King of Town: That King Guy
The Poopsmith: That Guy Who Shovels Crap
Homsar: Olympic Mascot Guy II

I watched all the character videos as soon as I got to the site, so I didn't have any trouble with that kind of stuff.

Yeah, I saw the yearbook pretty early on, so I didn't get the names mixed up very much.

I knew them all from teh start because after a saw a few SBemails, I went onto the character videos.

I never really got anyone's names confused, but it took me a while to figure out that Homsar had a character video (and I somehow missed the fact that he has his name WRITTEN RIGHT ON HIM because I'm stupid) so I just thought of him as "that fat Homestar guy".

...I think I may have thought The Cheat was The Cheese for a couple seconds, too. XD;

for me
everybody:that guy

Basically, if it wasn't Strong Bad or Homestar, it was "um... you know, that guy who..."

I was pretty much a fan on first sight, but it took me a bit to get everyone straight, especially Bubs and Coach Z.

ramrod · **Posted:** Fri Apr 21, 2006 4:12 am

I learned them pretty quickly. After watching a few toons, I went and watched the character videos.

Code J · **Posted:** Fri Apr 21, 2006 4:17 am

The charecter vids were amongst the first things I watched, so...

Anydangway · **Posted:** Fri Apr 21, 2006 8:50 am

I got Strong Mad and Strong Bad mixed up for like a day... other than that, I don't think I had any problems. Oh, well, maybe I got Coach Z and Bubs mixed up, but that's probably it.

iKipapa · **Posted:** Fri Apr 21, 2006 9:05 am

I don't remember ever having to refer to them as anything other than their actual names.
So, I must have watched the character videos early on.

DumDeDum · **Posted:** Fri Apr 21, 2006 9:48 am

I got the names very quickly, all I had problems with was remembering which one was The Sneak and The Cheat. Now there's no problems at all.

Marshmallow Roast · **Posted:** Fri Apr 21, 2006 12:50 pm

The very first things I watched were the character videos.

In fact, I didn't NOTICE the First Time Here button until I had watched almost everything else on the site.

cyco · **Posted:** Fri Apr 21, 2006 2:59 pm

I never had trouble with the names...Except I called homsar "homesar"

Checkot Fige · **Posted:** Sat Apr 22, 2006 3:28 am

The first time I saw Strong Bad's face...I thought he was a lobster man.

when I was first introduced to HR my first reaction was how similar Strong Bad looked to Brak from Space Ghost coast to coast.

So Strong Bad was "looks-like-brak" and Homestar was "sounds-like-brak"

Everyone else I found rather...odd.

Ha, me too. I saw all the character videos the first time, so I had no trouble (except with Homsar's because his video is hidden).

I figured out who they al lwere pretty quick, but when my friend told me about the site, he said it was about a polar-bear guy and a Mexican wrestler who says crap a lot, and sometimes it had these stick figure girls. I was confused.

Alberto · **Posted:** Sat May 20, 2006 2:46 pm

The only characters name that I ever messed up when I started watching was Trogdor.
Trogdor the burninator = Tragdoor the Terminator.

I only remember calling The Cheat "that little guy no one understands", calling the KOT "the mayor of the place" (what my sister referred to him as), and wondering if Homsar was an alter ego of Homestar. Since she showed me the Character Videos the same day as "Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon", those names weren't used for a very long time.

The very first thing I saw (that was Homestar Runner related) were those SBCG4AP trailers on the Nintendo Channel, so I only knew the names of Strong Bad & Homestar. Here's what I called everybody else:
