They're also in the first Homestar halloween story, and in the fluffy puff sugar delights. It turns out that these two kids were made by ((Strong Sad)). He tells a sad story about them during Flashlight Ghost Story Telling With A Flashlight - ((Visor Robot)) had a brain stolen from a kindly old man, and the kids were his children. He realises they're his children and cries, but this shorts him out and he falls down on the kids and ((The Goblin)). None of them live. Everyone is very upset by this story.

They seem to be "Want" and "Ignorance" from "A Christmas Carol," by Charles Dickens. "Want" and "Ignorance" are two pitiful little children revealed to Scrooge by the Ghost of Christmas Present.  The Brothers C have adapted the Victorian illustration style in their presentation here. The wretchedness of these two literary figures is perfect for their debut as the children of a disembodied brain.  Once created for Strong Sad's Halloween story, it seems that the Brothers C have used them again wherever they have felt the whim.  -!TallAndMerciless

"Huh?" "What?"
The sad family?

The Sad Kids (a boy and a girl) were created by Strong Sad in Homestarloween Party. According to Strong Sad, the Visor Robot had the brain of the Sad Kids' father. Like Strong Sad, both are almost in grayscale, with white skin and blue-gray clothes. They both appear to lack arms and have heavy bags under their eyes. The girl has long, black hair and wears a dress with a lace collar. The boy wears a shapeless gray garment, a whoopee cap, and dark gray shoes. He is also one of the few people in the Homestar Runner universe to have ears. They have the same voice (similar to Strong Sad's), and don't usually say anything except confused statements, such as "Huh?", "What?", and "Weird."

They often appear in commercials for Fluffy Puff Marshmallows and Air-Puffed Sugar Delights, which strangely suggests that they are children in both the present-day and the 1930s, or have look-alikes. They dressed up as The King of Town and the Wicked Witch of the West for the Fluffy Puff Malloweens commercial. They are frequently shown being mistreated in some way by the other characters, often by Marshie in his commercials, and/or crushed by various large objects. In Stack 'Em to the Heavens!, they claim to be vegan. A @StrongBadActual Tweet revealed that their 20X6 variations were planned to appear in a Stinkoman 20X6 Level 10 cutscene at one point, but this idea went unused.
