Probably because of Bob's birthday, "www.homestarrunner.com" has a new main page (#19) that has references to game shows in general. There are also 18 other "home pages" that are worth a look, that are not game show related.

For those who haven't seen the site, homestarrunner.com is a FUNNY site featuring a bunch of odd characters. One of them is Strongbad, a guy that wears a red mask and boxing gloves. One of the site's features is Strongbad answering emails. They're actual emails, and he answers them in a VERY funny manner.

There's also a brief Family Feud reference in one of his emails, but I forget which one.

It's the one entitled "Invisibility." Strong Bad explains what he would do if he were invisible and there's a spot where he's sitting down watching TV and a Feud strike sounds. He responds by yelling at the TV: "Survey says: You're an idiot!"

That menu page is actually a reference to the Strong Bad E-mail "The Show."

What's more, if you put your cursor over the Games button you'll hear a few notes of theme from Match Game after Homestar says "we call it...Games!" Also, he has a microphone resembling Bob's and/or Gene's!

Uh... Match Game? Can't hear the resemblance.
