{A swirling background is on screen. Marshie does his "rocket move" and faces the audience.}

MARSHIE: 'Sup, fools? I'm Marshie. Capital "M" and then "arshie"! I'm going this way!

{As he says this, the "M" and "arshie" appear under him. When he goes "this way" the text says "went that way!!!!!!!!!" The screen cuts to a chalkboard.}

MARSHIE: Why eat some other stuff,—

{Different types of food appear on the chalkboard: a ham, a pineapple, a cupcake, a piece of cherry pie, a hot dog, and a martini.}

{Fluffy Puff Marshmallows replace the food items.}

{The marshmallows get covered in syrup}

MARSHIE: —lunch,—

{A salt shaker (labeled "7") and pepper shaker (labeled "3") are next to the marshmallows, which have 3 tomato slices on them}

MARSHIE: —munch,—

{Batteries appear around the plate, while the marshmallows have nails stuck in them}

MARSHIE: —and pinner!

{Marshmallows now have a hat and eyepatch on them, and a cigar is next to them. Screen cuts to a pocket.}

Easter Eggs

• If you press "r" on the keyboard when the toon is over, Homestar Runner will say something.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: I hate that freakin' robot.

• If you then press "f" after Homestar says the robot thing, you will get a disclaimer ad.

{We see the yellow screen from earlier, with the Fluffy Puff Marshmallows logo, a bag of marshmallows, and a jar of mayo.}

VOICEOVER: Fluffy Puff Marshmallows and Marshmallow Mayonnaise. Each sold separately. Comes with everything you see here. Batteries not included. Kids, don't eat nails. {pause} Is that it? Am I done? Can I go? Anybod—Anybody want to get something to eat?

• Note: These Easter Eggs will only work in lowercase. They will not work if the Caps Lock is on or if the Shift is pressed down.

Fun Facts

Trivia

• If you listen to this clip, then you'll hear the background music for when Marshie is talking at the end. Marshie's voice is added over this track.

Inside References

• The song that the Background Singers sing near the end is the same song that they sang at the end of the Fluffy Puff Commercial.
• The quote "I hate that freakin' marshmallow" is a reference to Fluffy Puff Commercial, when Homestar tried to advertise Fluffy Puffs, but flubbed his lines (similar to First Time Here). Marshie evidently took his job.

Real-World References

• Galoob, mentioned in the page title, was a toy company that made Micro Machines, the Game Genie, and Star Wars and Star Trek action figures. It has since been bought by Hasbro. The phrase "New from Galoob!" was the last line of the commercials for these toys.
• "Kids ask for it by name" is possibly a reference to Meow Mix cat food, where the slogan is "so good, cats ask for it by name!"
• "Made from the best stuff" is a possible reference to Snapple where the slogan is "Made from the best stuff on earth." Or it may be a reference to the mayonnaise brand Best Foods.

Fast Forward

• The "7" labeled salt shaker makes an appearance in record book.
