However, note that mentioning the killing of dogs *is* a running gag. There's also an entire Halloween special (Mr. Poofers Must Die!") dedicated to attempting to kill an imaginary dog, but nobody can do it.

Fictional species and illnesses feature in various toons, and although none of them are allegories for anything in the real world, jokes are made at the expense of their physiology and symptoms respectively.

In sbemail #159, retirement, Strong Sad is seen wearing a dress, as well as having a beard he normally doesn't have, likely a reference to the "bearded lady" trope.

Homestar and Marzipan, who are (sometimes) dating, are often mean or even violent to eachother - though this is usually slapstick in tone and played for laughs. Strong Bad is also often rude and mean to his younger brother, Strong Sad, which is also played for laughs.

In "Characters from Yonder Website," it's revealed at the end that the characters were drinking expired Smarty Juice, which caused them to pass out and hallucinate themselves as characters in the titular children's show. Strong Sad also joins in at the end. The Smarty Juice the characters were drinking could be seen as a type of drug similar to LSD/acid, but it's all played for laughs.

there are vague hints at Señor Cardgage potentially being a kiddie fiddler in the Sbemail 'licensed', where Cardgage is known to own a 'shady daycare'. Strong Bad explicitly states that it is 'the kind that are open 24 hours and are surrounded by barbed wire'. This entire segment is played out as a joke, and Cardgage is not proven to be a paedophile.

A handful of scenes suggest that Homestar Runner shaves, however; this is shown to not be stubble but a puff of cinnamon he has put on his face to give the illusion of facial hair. Strong Bad claims to be growing a mustache, but this is a throwaway gag.

A character falls in a bottomless pit, but in a post-credits scene we discover that she hasn't yet died and is having a conversation with somebody else down there. The implication is that she's still going to die after the episode ends.

On one occasion, the word "leotard" is used as a verb in a sentence that can cause it to be misheard as the R-slur, but it's very incidental and not likely to be intended to be read that way.

One of Strong Bad's main character traits is his tendency to objectify women. However, he is depicted as being pathetic for this, and he never actually harasses anyone for it.
