Machine, Na-na-na-na 
Na-na-na-na 
''{as if through a bullhorn}'' Na-na-na-na

Just like you did zombies, ninjas, pirates and Strong Bad! Er, wait, no. Yeah! And personally, I preferred that children's alphabet song to Trogdor's heavy metal song any day. ''{Trogdor's snout appears in the window and roars}'' Waugh! Yes, sir! Sorry, sir! Right away, sir!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing in speed metal style}'' The S is for Sucks, the S is for Sucks! 
The S is for Sucks, the S is for Sucks!

== Transcript ==
{{inprogress}}

''{A leaf appears with the words "The 4Tst Annual Fall Float Parade".}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' We now return to the firty-tirst annual fall float parade.

''{Cut to Coach Z and Marzipan wearing scarves and ear muffs. Marzipan is holding a mug of hot chocolate with marshmallows, and is clearly mad at Coach Z.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Ok then, welcome back. First please allow me to apologize to my co-host, here, for any innapprapriate comments I may have made while we was at commercial.

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{nearly under her breath}'' That's two strikes Coach Z.

'''COACH Z:''' Yes, yes, what fun!

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{suddenly no longer angry}'' So, next up is good old Bubs.

'''COACH Z:''' Yes, good old my favorite type of guy who I'm just all the time hangin' around and doin' stuff with, Bubs!

''{Cut to Bubs on a giant float with the words "Coach Z, you jerk" written on it. There is a banner hanging on the float that reads, "Happy Thanksgiving!"}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{Through a megaphone}'' Coach Z, you jerk!

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{surprised}'' Oh.

'''BUBS:''' Coach Z, you jerk!

'''COACH Z:''' Oh, I see then...

'''BUBS:''' Coach Z —

'''COACH Z:''' That's very —

'''BUBS:''' ''{with more emphasis than before}'' — you jerk!

'''COACH Z:''' — overt.

''{Cut to a close-up of a giant balloon in the likeness of Pom Pom.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Oh, now here's somethin' that doesn't appear to be makin' fun of me, it's the Pam Pam b'lloon!

'''MARZIPAN:''' That's "Pom Pom balloon" for those of you who don't speak Coach Z. Always a hit with the ladies, that Pom Pom.

''{Cut to a wide-shot with the Pom Pom balloon still visible. Two identical Homsars are coming in behind the balloon wearing shriners hats and driving miniature red cars.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' And never a hit with anyone, it's Homsar! Oh, and there's another Homsar.

'''HOMSARS:''' ''{both of them in usison}'' Let's sing a song of tinfoil!

''{A new float enters the frame behind the two Homsars. This float has a big pile of sweatshirts in the center, a giant shooting star on the front, and a bee suspended by a giant spring on the back. "SWE ATSHIRTS" is printed on the base of the float. Homestar Runner is buried in the pile of sweatshirts with only his head visible.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Oh, now this is just adorable, Homestar Runner's sweatshirt float.

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{point out the noticable space in the text on the sign}'' It looks more like a "swee-atshirt" float to me.

'''COACH Z:''' You say tomater. I say tomatermorts.

''{Cut to a close-up of Homestar buried in the pile of sweatshirts.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Marzipan, help! I woke up in this pile of swee-atshirts and I don't know how to stop it! I'm supposed to be watching Bubs concession stand while he's in some ridiculous parade, ''{looking down}'' and I'm pretty sure a rat just bit my knee.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh, that's great sweetie. Say hi to that bee for me.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{annoyed}'' Hi, bee.

''{Cut back to the wide shot. Strong Mad walks into the frame carrying Bubs' Concession Stand, which has clearly been ripped out of the ground recently, as there are bits of sod still hanging from the bottom.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Well, it looks like Bubs has come to his senses and entered a proper float in the parade. 'Atta boy, Bubs!

'''MARZIPAN:''' I'm pretty sure that's just Strong Mad absconding with Bubs' Consession Stand.

'''COACH Z:''' Oh, serves him right then.

''{Cut back to Coach Z and Marzipan.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Oh, and here comes one of my favorites the KOTHS Junior Varsity Marching Band!

''{Cut back to the parade. The band enters, comprised of The King of Town waving The Poopsmith's shovel like a drum major's mace, The Poopsmith playing cymbals, The Hornblower blowing his horn, and the Knight playing a bass drum. The band comes to a halt. Cut to a close up of The King of Town.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Break it down for me, fellas!

''{Cut to a wide shot of the band again. They face the camera and resume playing.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Oh, yeah! I'm feeling this! ''{begins rapping}'' One two, one two, keep it ___ ! Listen to me cause Coach Z's, he's got it goin' on!

''{Cut to a close-up of Coach Z as he continues rapping.}''

'''COACH Z:''' I'm a pretty nice guy with fairly good teeth! C'mon, watch me —

'''MARZIPAN:''' No more free-styling. It's really annoying.

''{Cut back to the parade route. A new float enters. Strong Bad is on the float standing between two Snowmen and beating them with nunchucks. The base of the float, which appears to be a matress, reads: "Celebrating 04 Glorious Seconds of Nunchucking Snowmen." The "04" is a digital sign that counts up as the scene continues.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Ah, and here's Strong Bad's annual not-even-remotely-fall-related float.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Is it just me, or does one of those snowmen look suspiciously like Strong Sad?

'''COACH Z:''' Nah, Strong Sad's yellow.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{Spits out a carrot}'' Ptooey! Strong Bad, I thought you said our float was going to be celebrating our nation's covered bridges.

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, I said our float was going to be sticking-you-in-a-fake-snowman-and-beating-you-senseless-with-nunchucks... covered bridges.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Well, how on earth did I misunderstand all that?

'''STRONG BAD:''' I don't know man. You hear the words "covered bridges" and you just go into a trance.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, covered bridges. ''{Strong Sad goes into a trance, but snaps out of it when Strong Bad resumes beating him with nunchucks.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' And, as always, bringing up the rear: it's the Marshie balloon!

'''COACH Z:''' Man, that thing has got to frighten some children!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Is anyone guiding that balloon?

''{The Cheat can be seen hanging from one of the balloon ropes, clearly not in control of the balloon.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Run for your lives!

''{The Marshie balloon collides with the wooden platform where Coach Z and Marzipan are standing.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Argh! I regret everything!

==Transcript==

''{Spooky sounds play against a darkened wall. Homestar Runner's shadow appears from the left, and Homestar himself then appears suddenly.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Wah! You scared me! So, here's the deal: I'm lost inside this haunted mansion, and I need your help to find my costume and get outta here! So, what should we do first?

''{The screen displays: 'WHAT SHOULD WE DO?? 1. PET A GOAT 2. MAKE A STEW 3. "I'M SELLING THESE FINE LEATHER JACKETS..."' A "COSTUME LOCATOR" is in the lower left and a "HEALTH & BEAUTY" indicator, showing 100%, is in the lower right. Then, after a moment, the lights suddenly come on and the camera pans back, revealing the interior of Homestar's house, including pictures of Homestar's past costumes framed on the wall. Marzipan walks up with a wig and a pile of clothes. A sheet of paper can be seen in front of Homestar, with doodles all over it and several markers scattered around it.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' What up, Homestar? Here's your costume!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{taking the costume}'' Oh, thanks. You win!

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{noticing the paper and markers}'' Homestar Michael Runner, what did you do—

''{A closeup of the paper is shown. It reads:}''

<div style="text-align:center; padding:8px; border: 1pt solid #000; width:300px">Halloween Potion 1. *****-Water 2. Powdered ********* 3. Essence of ********* Stir ingredients with a *********** Say this magic incantation: *****************************</div>

''{But drawings of bugs and [[Ducks|ducks]] obscure all of the important parts, asterisked. Also, Homestar has written "MEAN SEAN", "QUACK TIME", and "COOL DUCK" on various parts of the paper.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' —to my Halloween Potion recipe?

''{Homestar and Marzipan appear again.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, yeah. ''{turns away from Marzipan}'' Marzipaaan! Can I draw ducks and bugs all over the recipe for your Halloween Potion?

'''MARZIPAN:''' No way, Jorge. You're gonna figure out what those ingredients were and bring 'em back here before midnight. Now march your skinny white butt into those spooky woods, mister!

''{Music starts.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{humbly}'' Yes, Mom-zipan.

''{The screen displays "HALLOWEEN POTION-MA-JIG" and "A MAKE-YOUR-OWN-DECISION-VENTURE", followed by the usual credits (with the notable addition of "[[Jonathan Howe|Jonathan]] programs"), over the drawings of bugs and ducks. Then, cut to the spooky forest, where Homestar is now in costume.}''

===The Water===

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right! These spooky woods gotta be chock full of spooky ingredients! Let's see, the first one is ''{pulls out the paper}'' "Something Water." Hmmmmmmmm...

'''COACH Z:''' ''{from a distance}'' Really?

''{cut to Coach Z and Pom Pom}''

'''COACH Z:''' Then how come they'll be all nice to ya and act like they like ya to your face?

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubbles}''

'''COACH Z:''' I guess I have a lot to learn about mailmen!

''{Homestar walks up}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, what are you guys doin' out here? Did you ruin somebody's magic potion too?

'''COACH Z:''' Uh... nope. Unless Coach Z's life is a magic potion.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Cool, cool, depressing, cool. So, um...

''{A box shows up reading "CHOICE TIME!" and the three choices:}''

==== 1. Do either of you have any... ====

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Do either of you have any cash on you? I'm trying to get a me a sandwich or something. Uh, my car broke down and I'm out of gas.

'''COACH Z:''' Oh, sorry man. All I gots is this bottle of, uh, ghost water?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's perfect! I was planning on blowin' that money on ghost water anyways.

''{A "scorecard" comes up with spaces for all the items you get. The first blank is filled with "Ghost Water". A victory sound plays.}''

==== 2. I need something that would be... ====

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I need something that would be good in a Halloween Potion.

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubbles and pulls a severed toe out of his pocket}''

'''COACH Z:''' Pom Pom can getcha a toe. With nail polish!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Um... do you have anything waterier? Or... more waterish? Or waterian?

'''COACH Z:''' Please, Homestar, stop! Just take this bottle of questionable water that I keep on my person at all times for questionable reasons!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I won't question that!

''{A "scorecard" comes up with spaces for all the items you get. The first blank is filled with "Questionable Water". A victory sound plays.}''

==== 3. Taco-Man came by... ====
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Taco-Man came by, he gave me some water-he gave me some water. What are you guys gonna do for me?

'''COACH Z:''' Pom Pom, give the man some stank water, I will not be upstaged by Taco-Man two years in a row!

''{A "scorecard" comes up with spaces for all the items you get. The first blank is filled with "Stank Water". A victory sound plays.}''

=== The Powder ===

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, I gotta keep searchin'. ''{walks offscreen to the right}'' Too bad I probably won't run into anybody else mysteriously hanging out in the woods.

''{Cut to The King of Town and The Poopsmith. Holes are dug all over the place. Homestar walks up.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh! Whaddaya know! How ya diggin'?

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Oh! We're certainly not trying to unearth the ham sandwich that I buried here when I was nine!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Good. 'Cuz I found that thing like two months ago. It wasn't that good. Too much mayo.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Too much mayo?! I love too much mayo!

''{The choice dialogue comes up again.}''

==== 1. Hey! I've got it... ====

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, I've got it! I'll give you a detailed account of the consumption of your ham sammie if you give me a powdered item for this Potion-ma-jig!

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Sweet deal! Take some of this powdered Thanksgiving! Now let's hear it!

''{The screen starts to fade out.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay, so first I washed all the dirt off with some Windex. That made it all blue and soggy...

''{It fades back in. The King of Town has his head lowered in emotion. His Chicken Basket is empty.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ...and that last bite nearly made me puke it right back on my plate!

''{Homestar walks off and takes the powder as he goes.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Oh, I wish you had. I surely wish you had!

''{The scorecard returns. The second blank is filled with "Powdered Thanksgiving".}''

==== 2. I say, is that a powdered... ====

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I say, is that a powdered wig you're wearing, your Kentucky Fried-ness? 'Cuz I'm in the market for some powdery dealings!

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{pulls out a pouch}'' Well, I've got my secret blend of eleven herbs and spices. But, of course, you can't have that!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Aw, that's too bad, I guess I'll just go on home and—

''{He zips all over the screen, yelling incoherently.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{popping out of one of the holes, holding the powder}'' So long, suckers!

''{Homestar drops back into the hole.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Ha! That blend was just a decoy! It only has ''ten'' herbs and spices!

''{The scorecard appears with "Powdered Herbs & Spices".}''

==== 3. Poopsmith, do I dare ask... ====

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Poopsmith, do I dare ask what powdered delights you've unearthed?

''{The Poopsmith digs in the dirt and a pouch pops out, which Homestar catches.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ooh, ground ground. Thanks thanks, guys guys.

''{The scorecard appears with "Powdered Ground Ground"}''

===Homsar===

''{This scene only happens if you click The Poopsmith's face as Homestar walks away (see Easter Eggs). Homsar is floating on a balloon, as per his costume (Tingle from [[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda series|The Legend of Zelda Series]].) Homestar walks up, and looks at him, annoyed.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, great, the secret guy!

'''HOMSAR:''' AaAaA—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Just gimme my choices!

''{Homsar throws confetti, and the bottom of the screen reads:}''

<blockquote>
HOISIN SAUCE! 
2TH: HORSE IT ON IN THERE! 
THAT'S A LOT! A LOT! A LOT! A LOT! 
> What wouldst thou deau?</blockquote>

''{With [[The Hornblower]]'s head and some circus peanuts over it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What I'm supposed to do with that mess?! I'm outta here!

''{Homestar walks away.}''

'''HOMSAR:''' Location, location, location!

=== The Essence ===

''{Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and The Cheat are standing around a cliff, with broken TVs littering the area. Strong Bad's face is obscured by the cabinet doors on his costume. Strong Mad tosses a broken TV. Homestar walks up.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Whoa. This is a cool new background!

''{The TV Strong Mad tossed falls in the background.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{opening his costume's doors}'' Yeah! We were just burying our problems here in the spooky woods when we found this creepy cliff! It's perfect for the chucking off of busted old TVs.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Essence of busted old TVs? 'Cuz I got a serious jones!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, I think these TVs lost their essence in the seventies. What are you doing here, anyways?

''{The choice box returns:}''

==== 1. I've always felt that... ====

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I've always felt that essence of rose petals is my very most favorite essence.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, I agree, The Cheat. Essence of doo doo meringue has always been my favorite. In fact, there's a whole bunch of it down at the bottom of this cliff that you can have.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{jumping off the cliff}'' Cannonball!

''{The scorecard appears with "Essence of Doo doo meringue"}''

==== 2. I'm trying to ruin Marzipan's... ====

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm trying to ruin Marzipan's Halloween Potion. Got any leads?

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's a worthy cause if ever there was one! How about this essence of putting Strong Mad's hand in warm water while he's asleep?

'''STRONG MAD:''' MY SECRET SHAME!

''{The Cheat tosses a bottle off the cliff. Homestar jumps after it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thanks a lot you guuuuuuuuuys!

''{The scorecard returns with "Essence of Putting Strong Mad's hand in warm water while he's asleep".}''

==== 3. I'm in the mood for a... ====
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm in the mood for a Hovan roll!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, me too. Let's have a race to the food court. Here's the starting line. Ready, go!

''{The Cheat draws a line in dirt next to the cliff's edge.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{running over cliff}'' Eat my duuuuuuuust!

''{The scorecard returns with "Essence of Gullibility".}''

===The stirring utensil===

''{Cut back to Strong Bad's posse}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Meka-leka-hi-meka-The Cheat throw a TV on 'im...

''{The Cheat drops a TV over the cliff.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ... ho.

''{The doors on Strong Bad's costume close once more. Cut to Bubs, standing by a canister labeled "BUBS MO'BILE CAN o' STIRRING UTENSILS". Homestar bounces once on the ground and then lands on his feet next to Bubs. The TV crashes behind Homestar at the same spot where he had bounced off, narrowly missing him.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Whoa, Bubs. Fancy runnin' into you in the middle of the spooky woods sellin' stirring utensils.

'''BUBS:''' It's a niche market!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' So, what kind of concoctions might one stir with your wares?

'''BUBS:''' Well, a little eye of newt, some toe of frog, baby, you got a witches' brew goin'!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, that's my line! So, how do I score one of those jobbies?

'''BUBS:''' Oh, they're free. But you gotta ''earn'' 'em!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uh, that doesn't sound free at all.

'''BUBS:''' Well, you just gotta ''earn'' 'em!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' How should I do that?

''{The choice box returns:}''

==== 1. Do a dance ====

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{dances}'' A little to the left, come on, come on, back to the right, shake it around. ''{he repeats it over Bubs's next line}''

'''BUBS:''' Oh, yeah! Stick and move, stick and move! You're pretty good, shorty. ''{pulls a red spoon from his canister}'' That's worth at least a ''Jurassic Park III'' collector's spoon.

''{The scorecard returns with "Stirring utensil: JP3 Collector Spoon".}''

==== 2. Sing a song ====

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay, here goes. Two and three and four. ''{singing, and Bubs covers his ears}'' Backyard peaches! Treats come true! Karate Summer, what wouldja do? The world is the egg, and...

'''BUBS:''' Oh! Heard enough of that one! You... you get a chewed-up pen.

''{The scorecard returns with "Stirring utensil: Chewed Up Pen".}''

==== 3. Reagan impression ====

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{leaning over, in a low voice}'' Well, well, Nancy and I, economics, well, rap music, jellybeans, well, we... probably had a... pet...

'''BUBS:''' That's the worst Ronald Reagan impression I've ever heard!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{standing upright}'' ''Ronald'' Reagan?! I was doing my Keanu Reagan!

'''BUBS:''' Just take this terlet brush and get outta here!

''{The scorecard returns with "Stirring utensil: Terlet Brush".}''

===The magic words===

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{walking off}'' Thanks, Great American Bubs!

''{Cut to a closeup of Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Now to find Strong Sad. Anything that guy says will make ''great'' magic words!

''{Cut to Strong Sad, half-buried and asleep. Homestar walks up.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, Strong Sad. Nice fire hydrant costume!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Uh! Mineral water! ''{wakes up and looks at Homestar}'' What?

''{The choice box returns:}''

==== 1. I just graduated... ====

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I just graduated. What should my epitaph say?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Homestar, do you even have half a brain?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hot biscuits! Those are the best magic words I ever heards!

''{The scorecard appears with "Magic Words: Do you even have half a brain".}''

==== 2. If you were at a party... ====

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' If you were at a party, what would you rap?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Each day, we die a little more, yo! Betta ax somebod-ay!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ooh! Fresh beats! My favorite!

''{The scorecard appears with "Magic Words: Better Ax Somebod-ay".}''

==== 3. Taco-Man came by... ====

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Taco-Man came by. We played a little foosball, played a little foosball. So, what are some of your favorite words?

'''STRONG SAD:''' In no particular order: Loquentia, Imbruglia, Precipitous, Saraleecheesecake, Denouement...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Those words are great!

''{The scorecard appears with "Magic Words: Loquentia, Imbruglia, Precipitous, Saraleecheesecake, Denouement".}''

=== The potion ===

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thanks for the words, half-man! ''{walks off}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Go forward! Move ahead! Try to detect it! It's not too late!

''{Cut to Homestar's house, where Homestar and Marzipan are standing near a bubbling cauldron.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right, so here's what I came up with: a bottle of ''{whatever water you obtained}'' water, ''{he throws the bottle into the cauldron}'' some powdered ''{whatever powder you obtained; it's thrown into the cauldron too; he omits "powdered" for the ground ground}'', and essence of ''{whatever essence you obtained; again, he throws it into the cauldron; if you got essence of gulibility, he adds "Whatever that is"}''. ''{Pulls out the stirring utensil}'' And give a little stir with this ''{whatever stirring utensil you obtained}''. And say these magic words. ''{He hands an index card to Marzipan.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{whatever magic words you obtained}''

''{The cauldron makes a "poof" sound and smoke emerges, and Marzipan dips a cup into it.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Here, Homestar. ''{hands the cup to Homestar}'' Have some Melonade!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Don't mind if I do! ''{He drinks the contents of the cup. Depending on your choices, various things can happen:}''

====1. One-eyed Homestar====

''{Homestar suddenly loses his wig and sprouts one enormous eye on his face.}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' ''(Yelps)'' Marzipan! There's only one of you!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Don't tell me you forgot how to use your eyes again.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I don't think you have to worry about dating anyone from now on.

=== The finale ===

''{The screen fades to black. After a few seconds, one of Homestar's bug drawings appears in the center of the screen with "THE END". After a few more seconds, the screen fades back to Spooky Forest.

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*[http://lysy2.archives.nd.edu/cgi-bin/words.exe?Loquentia Loquentia] is a Latin word whose root means to speak or to utter.
*Putting someone's hand in warm water while they sleep is common prank that makes the victim involuntarily urinate.
*[[Wikipedia:pashmina|pashmina]] is the fleece of feral Himalayan goats that is used to make shawls that are refered to by the same name. It is similar to Kashmir and was quite popular in the mid 1990's.
*[[Wikipedia:Denouement|Denouement]] is the resolution part of the story which comes after the climax.

===Trivia===
* The original potion read:
<div style="text-align:center; padding:8px; border: 1pt solid #000; width:300px">Halloween Potion 1. Ghost-Water 2. Powdered Pigs' Feet 3. Essence of Nightroot Stir ingredients with a wooden spoon Say this magic incantation: 
"Sip it down and swish it 'round"</div>

* This toon was released at about 1:30 a.m. on November 1, Atlanta time. At the time, the button on the main page read: ''"it's still halloween!"''; when you moved your mouse over it, it switched to: ''"in certain timezones!"''. Later in the day, the button was changed to simply read: ''"halloween toon!"''
* The shirt Coach Z is wearing is from ''[[Wikipedia:The Cosby Show|The Cosby Show]]'''s first-season episode "[http://www.tv.com/the-cosby-show/a-shirt-story/episode/6802/summary.html A Shirt Story]," in which Denise tries to hand-make Theo a designer shirt and butchers it in the process. The ficticious brand of shirt was called a "Gordon Gartrelle," and the original cost Theo $95. "Jammin' on the one" line is a reference to the episode "[http://www.tv.com/a-touch-of-wonder/episode/6836/summary.html A Touch Of Wonder]", in which guest star [[Wikipedia:Stevie Wonder|Stevie Wonder]] sampled the voices of the Huxtable family and made them into a song.
* There are five endings to this toon. Which ending is seen is determined by adding together all the numbers of the choices made, dividing by five, and taking the remainder (numbered zero to four). Thus, if you choose 2, 1, 3, 3, and 2, you would get 2 + 1 + 3 + 3 + 2 = 11 / 5 = 2, remainder 1.
**If you get a remainder of 0, you get the Tofu Homestar ending. A remainder of 1 gets the One-eyed Homestar ending. A remainder of 2 yields the Suave Homestar ending. Getting a remainder of 3 produces the Freaky Marzipan ending. Finally, a remainder of 4 presents the Goblin ending.
***Choosing the same option number every time will always result in no remainder.
***The possible ways to achieve a remainder of 1 are to choose options whose sum is {6,11}
***The possible ways to achieve a remainder of 2 are to choose options whose sum is {7,12}
***The possible ways to achieve a remainder of 3 are to choose options whose sum is {8,13}
***The possible ways to achieve a remainder of 4 are to choose options whose sum is {9,14}
*The total number of possible sequences of potion ingredients is 35, or 243.

===Remarks===
* This is the first time Homestar is mentioned as having a middle name ("Michael") in a toon. (In the DVD commentary for [[time capsule]], however, Marzipan offhandedly remarked that Hal was his middle name.)
* Unlike the other characters, Homsar shows scroll-over information during the finale easter eggs even while the rest of the characters comment on their costumes.
* All of the [[Spooky_Tree|Spooky Trees]] in the background are the same shape, just in different sizes and orientations.
* If Homestar does a dance for Bubs, he will refer to Homestar as "Shorty", even though (Unless you count Bubs' hat) Homestar is taller than he is.
* Besides stealing Homestar's "line," as Homestar points out, Bubs also appropriates the "terlet" pronunciation of "toilet" that Coach Z has used in [[Halloween Fairstival]] and [[A Folky Tale]]. This spelling shows up on the scorecard as well, but Homestar still pronounces it as "toilet" when he hands it over to Marzipan. Homestar's speech impediment causes a mispronunciation of the mispronunciation, making it correct again.
* The Flash file appears to have been updated 12 hours after the toon was originally released. The update expanded the Tofu Homestar scene, and added an extra "THE END" scene and an Easter Egg (The Cheat).

===Goofs===
*[[Wikipedia:Gossamer_(Looney_Tunes)|Gossamer]] is actually a straight red, not a bright orange.

===Inside References===

* French Homestar singing "Getting lucky tonight" is a reference to [[Cool Things]]; Strong Sad sings the same phrase.
* The circus peanuts that appear in the Homsar easter egg were also used when Homestar comes to the door in [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]].
* Pom Pom is wearing the same [[Homestar's Shades|shades]] that [[Dangeresque (character)|Dangeresque]] usually sports.

*Strong Bad saying "Meka Leka Hi Meka" is from a character called Jambi The Genie (who he is dressed as) from the CBS saturday morning show, ''[[Wikipedia:Pee-wee's Playhouse|Pee-Wee's Playhouse]]''. Actually, the whole quote is supposed to be "Meka Leka Hi Meka Hiney Ho!"

Homestar's character, Moocher, was a member of the group.
*Walter Sobchak is a character from ''[[Wikipedia:The Big Lebowski|The Big Lebowski]]'', played by [[Wikipedia:John Goodman|John Goodman]]. The severed toe with nail polish is a plot device in this movie (Sobchack even says the line, "I can get you a toe" in the movie, as does Coach Z on Pom Pom's behalf). "You're entering a world of pain" and "DONNY, YOU'RE OUT OF YOUR ELEMENT!" (said on behalf of Pom-Pom by Homestar and Strong Mad respectively) were also repeated sayings of Sobchak's in the movie, aimed towards Theodore Donald 'Donny' Kerabatsos, played by [[Wikipedia:Steve Buscemi|Steve Buscemi]].
*Bubs' quote "Baby, you've got a [[Witches' Brew|witches' brew]] goin'" is a reference to the television show ''[[Wikipedia:Arrested Development (TV series)|Arrested Development]]''', where [[Wikipedia:Carl Weathers|Carl Weathers]], the actor who played [[Wikipedia:Apollo Creed|Apollo Creed]], portrays himself as extremely cheap, and sometimes comments that if certain leftover foods are combined, "Baby, you've got a stew goin'."

Homestar ''meant'' to say [[Wikipedia:Oliver North|Oliver North]], a prominent figure in the [[Wikipedia:Iran Contra Affair|Iran Contra Affair]].
*Rose petal essence was an ingredient for the spell to turn into an eagle or fly in ''[[wikipedia:King's Quest III|King's Quest III]]''. Especially given this allusion, the whole premise of the cartoon is likely based on the formulaic combination of ingredients, stirring, and magic words required to perform the [http://www.whatisthe2gs.apple2.org.za/the_fairway/game_pages/kings_quest_3.html spells] in King's Quest III.

([http://members.tripod.com/~excpert_mike/mikespunchoutpage/whattheysay.html reference])
*[http://www.hovan.com Hovan] is a restaurant chain in Florida and Georgia, located in Mall Food Courts, that sell [[Wikipedia:Gyro|gyro-style]] wraps.
*The large POOMP that appears when The Cheat lands may be a reference to ''Mario Kart 64'', where, whenever you made the kart hop, it landed with a similar POOMP. Also, the respective noises The Cheat makes sound like Toad's when he is hit into the air, and when he wins a race.
*Bubs' recommendation of "eye of newt" and "toe of frog" is a quotation from [http://www.bartleby.com/70/4141.html Act IV, Scene 1, line 16] of Shakespeare's ''[[Wikipedia:Macbeth|Macbeth]]'', one of the most famous and influential depictions of witches in Western culture.

Bacon warrior:

== Location, location, location! ==

In Majora's Mask, there was a sidequest involving four deku scrubs in various locations. You needed to get the title deeds and trade with them. I can't remember but it is possible they used the phrase in all this. Makes sense considering the Tingle costume. --[[User:Bacon warrior|Bacon warrior]] 20:51, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

==A couple of transcript points==

Sounds to me more like Bubs says MAYBE you got a witch's brew goin'. Also, it sounds more like Marzipan says Homestar [[Wikipedia:Michael Winner|Michael Winner]], but that's just silly :P Also also, does Coach Z's comment on mailmen make any sense to anybody?

:The relevance of "baby" is described in Fun Facts. Coach Z's comment was an unexpected twist to the conversation he seemed to be having with Pom Pom - up until the word "mailmen" it sounded more like they were talking about women (IMHO). --{{User:Jay/sig}} 09:30, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

::I thought he said "male men" the first time, but that doesn't really make much sense either. By the way, having listened to that clip quite a few times through halfdecent headphones, I still say Bubs says MAYBE, even if it is a reference...

:::Maybe Marzipan was talking 'bout [[Homeschool Winner|This Micheal]]. It sounds like it to me.--[[User:68.239.117.11|68.239.117.11]] 12:38, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

::::Somebody noted the following in an abortive Real-World Reference:
*[[Wikipedia:Michael_Winner|Michael Winner]] is a British movie director who directed the first [[Wikipedia:Death Wish|Death Wish]] movie, among others. He celebrated his 70th birthday two days before this cartoon aired.

::::The use of "Michael" here as Homestar's nickname, to those familiar with the above director, might suggest a leap to "Winner," thus Homeschool Winner. In an even trickier twist, the words immediately preceding are "you '''win'''!" All this is pure conjecture, of course, and shouldn't be included in the article, but I find the possibility intriguing. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 18:29, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

==Now that IS scary==
Holy freaking cow. No wonder it was taking them such a long time. This is gonna be a nightmare (in a good way) to wiki, what with the Inside Ref.s and the Real World Ref.s and the like... —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 06:37, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
:Quick, find whoever did [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]]'s transcript and let them have a go here... --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:P.S. May I also not say that I am not, in any way, mean. --[[User:DorianGray|My real name is Sean]]
::That was [[User:Krem|Krem]]. Yes, I actually bothered to go to the old wiki, look it up (which was really easy since the credit is given at the bottom of the page), and then checked that user name against the current user list here. 'Twas the same person. (Of course it helped that right there on his/her current user page it says: "I did about 2/3 of the transcript for The House that Gave Sucky Treats".) Wow, I can't believe I actually did that. Just goes to show you just how fried my brain is at 1:47 in the morning. {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 07:47, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

== Homestar's transformations ==
I've figured out that what Homestar turns into at the very end depends on what "essence" you get from Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and The Cheat. "Essence of Doo-Doo Meringue" results in Tofu Homestar, "Essence of Strong Mad's Finger Dipped in a Glass of Warm Water" (or however it went) gives you a Marzipan with really bad teeth and a weird voice, and "Essence of Gullibility" leads to classy French Homestar. Someone might want to double check this just to make sure, though -- I only went through it 4 times.

:Yeah, that is a bit off. I got Essence of Strong Mad Prank and it resulted in Tofu Homestar. [[User:Azure Haights|Azure Haights]] 06:51, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
::I don't think that's it. I went through once with each item, and got [[The Goblin]], Tofu Homestar, and a cyclops Homestar. I bet a decompiler will help this one. Maybe. I dunno exactly what they do. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

::Essence of DooDoo got me the goblin, and SM prank got me One eye Homestar, so that theory is out. {{User:Some HSR themed username/sig}} 06:53, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

:::What the?? I got Tofu Homestar each of my 3 times. I guess this thing has more potential than I thought! (Maybe it has to do with how you combine the choices? I picked the same number each time—i.e. AAA, BBB, CCC, etc. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 06:55, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

:::::::All I know is that this sure sounds like something [[Jonathan Howe]] would be behind. Have fun figuring it out.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 07:04, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
::::::::Right. This could be a complicated table... I'm-a try it on paper first. Y'know, list all the combinations: 11111, 11112, etc. You guys start the table. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::It seems as though the result is dependent on the sum of the choices. A sum divisible by 5 results in tofu homestar, 12 (and presumably 7) results in french homestar, and 11 (and presumably 6) results in cyclops homestar. I have personally tested 2,2,2,2,3 (cyclops homestar), and used the information provided by other users for this conclusion.
I'm going to sleep have fun. --[[User:24.21.231.89|24.21.231.89]] 07:35, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
:hehe, one more, I did 1,1,1,1,3 again (my 2nd time) and got French Homstar this time, I'm wondering if they are all random? something to check into. Night--[[User:24.21.231.89|24.21.231.89]] 07:53, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
::Tally up another French Homestar for 1,1,1,1,3. I was trying to go through all the transformations and got him with that combination. I hope there are a few super-secret combinations to try. Also, this may not be the place to say it, but I love this cartoon. I was worried TBC were making it at the last minute but regardless, they've done an excellent job. Top notch! Good prize! Great jorb! --[[User:Bobo the King|Bobo the King]] 11:27, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

=== The Table ===

''{table removed}''

Um, do we need this list? It sure is taking up a lot of room. Has the mathematical threory been proven? If so, doesn't that render this list obsolete? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:47, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
:Seriously! Someone who knows what's what please confirm, cause at the moment it's... pretendous. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 19:27, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
::Well, [[User:Gus]] has transcribed the list by character to his talk page. I think it can be removed from here. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

I think a better way is to arrange the effects by their supposed outcome based on the formula on tha main page, and see if that works. I've already done that on my talk page; if we want to copy it in here, by all means, do. [[User:Gus|Gus]] 19:38, 1 November 2005 (UTC) EDIT: Oh wow, DorianGray, you're fast. [[User:Gus|Gus]] 19:40, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
:I'm sorry, but that table was just too long. I have removed it and replaced it with the section below. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:19, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

=== The Code ===
This is the code for the ending:
<pre>function showEnding () {
var _local3 = 0
for ( var _local2 = 0; _local2 < TOTAL_QUESTIONS; _local2++){
_local3 = (_local3) + answers[_local2]
}
_local3 = (_local3) % 5
_root.gotoAndPlay("end" + (_local3) + 1)
}</pre>

The program reads through an array of <code>answers[]</code> and adds them into a variable called <code>_local3</code>. It then divides that figure by 5 and takes the remainder. It adds 1 to the result and plays the frames that correspond to the following labels:
<pre>end1: tofu
end2: eyeball
end3: Frenchman
end4: grodelated Marzipan
end5: the Goblin</pre>
So the mathematical theory is correct. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:19, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
== Transformations theory... ==

As someone who's done a little basic programming, I know one of the EASIEST ways TBC might have made this system work. Each option you select has a value attached to it, either 1, 2, or 3. When you select it, it gets added to a total value, at the end, your total value decides the transformation. This means that each set of choices probably has one 1-point option, one 2-point option, and one 3-point option. This is supported by the fact that some of the encounters seem to have a "best" choice, such as doing a dance for Bubs or getting the Ghost Water (outlined in the ingredients) from Coach Z. Chances are there's a special transformation if you get all the 3-point answers. Just a theory. [[User:Rocketlex|Rocketlex]] 07:32, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

==Halloween Costumes==
Someone put up the halloween costume list in the fun facts. I removed it, because that belongs in the halloween costumes article. -- [[user:DJ Teh Cheat|DJ Teh Cheat]]

Also, i noticed that someone put costume defenitions in the outside references. do these belong here, or should we keep them on the halloween costumes page? -- The Same Guy as the Last Thing
==Homestar Variations==
Should we plan on making seperate stub articles for French Homestar, One eyeball Homestar, and Freaky Marzipan? or should we wait and see if they ever reappear? -- [[user:DJ Teh Cheat|DJ Teh Cheat]]

== Order of transformations ==

[http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Halloween_Potion-ma-jig&diff=187936&oldid=187935 True]! I wouldn't mind numbering them 0-4 myself. It just bothers me a little, listing 1 as the first one, knowing that programmatically, 0 is really first (in terms of ordering). Oh, the bane that is modular arithmetic. Yes, I am being pedantic. :) --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 08:59, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
: Whatever works. 1-5 is easier to read for the average person who doesn't care about calculating which ending they're gonna get. 0-4 works better with the Trivia fact. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 09:05, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
::I concur! (My eye's still twitching a little but I can live with that ;) )--[[User:Stux|Stux]] 09:06, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
:::1-5 is best, because that's what they're called in the code. As you can see from the function above, the program adds 1 to the result to get the ending scene. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:21, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

== Bucket O' Chicken ==

I noticed the Bucket of chicken dealy, and do remember seeing it somewhere. However I am having a hard time finding it on the [[theme park]] page, much less any mention of Knf'nC, or chicken, or King of town and chicken, or any such combination. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 09:10, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
: That was a mistake on my part, and I already fixed it. Sorry for the trouble. (It was in [[monster truck]], BTW.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 09:15, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
::No problem! I found the related info and it's all looking G-O-O-O-..-O-O-..-O-D goood! Great job all! --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 09:17, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

Are the Bros. Chaps getting racier with their toons? KnF'nC seems like a prety direct reference to 'F***in' and Homestar sing about 'getting lucky tonight' - what about the kids? -- Steve-o 11/1/05

== Terlet Brush? ==

I think that "Terlet Brush" is a reference to A Folky Tale. {{User:H*R 700/sig}}

how?--[[User:Benol|Coach B]] 12:57, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

When Coach Z says that Saddy Dumpington sounds kinda like a Terlet. {{User:H*R 700/sig}}

:"Terlet" is from the last Halloween toon. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 13:11, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

==Original list==
How was the original list determined? I've looked at the bug and duck obscured list that homestar is carrying, and I have a hard time buying the supposed original items. the frist letter of what should be "Ghost" according to this list has a flat top.--sarducci
: Consider the font used. It ''is'' "Ghost-Water". Which, by the way, is the only item on the original list that can actually be obtained (if we assume that the JP3 spoon isn't made of wood.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:41, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
: Also, if you get Ghost-Water in the actual 'toon, look at how it's written on the scorecard, which uses the exact same font. It's a flat-topped capital G. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:43, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
::I used a Flash decompiler when I transcribed the original list. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:44, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

==Jellybeans==

Reagan's predilection for jellybeans was not legendary. See the New York Times, January 15, 1981, [http://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=FA0B17FA3F5F0C768DDDA80894D9484D81 "Halcyon Era for the Jellybean."]

:I think you're confusing definitions of "legendary." When one says: Reagan's prediliction for jellybeans was legendary, one means that it is "well known and worth telling stories about," not "mythical." Like one might say, "legendary" singer-songwriter Bob Dylan and not mean he's a yeti or something.

== 4th wall breaking? ==

Umm, when Homestar says "Oh, great. The secret guy" is he breaking the 4th wall? I belive we should add that somewhere. {{User:H*R 700/sig}}
:Hmm... perhaps you should check out [[Fourth Wall Breaks]], where it has already been added. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:40, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

== Opening scenario a reference? ==

Can any of the gamer-types tell me whether the opening "I'm lost in this haunted mansion and I need your help to find..." setup is a reference to a specific game? Seems like it ought to be. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 18:42, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
:I can't think of any specific games, but this is a commonly used plot device in game genres involving puzzles, mazes and the like. The most recent game I can think of that employed this device is '''Pac Pix''' for the Nintendo DS, in which Pac-Man gets trapped as a drawing in a book, and he says he needs your help to free him. - [[User:KieferSkunk|KieferSkunk]] 20:00, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
:Additionally, I submit this is NOT a reference to Luigi's Mansion (GameCube), as Luigi wasn't trapped in the mansion and didn't specifically ask for the player's help. - [[User:KieferSkunk|KieferSkunk]] 20:02, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
::Yeah, that was the only thing that came to my mind in connection with haunted mansions, but even I was fairly sure it wasn't that, and my knowledge doesn't extend far beyond Tetris and the first few levels of SuperMarioWorld! —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 20:20, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
:::I think the haunted mansion thing is basically a cliche... There are a million of 'em, I bet. Like ''The Haunted Mansion'', a Disney movie-slash-game. Although it does sound vaguely familiar... Think old stuff. Like the Floppy Disk Container. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Walter ==

I don't know about the rest of you, but I was dying with laughter when I saw Pom Pom dressed as Walter Soebchek from The Big Lebowski. My friends and I love that movie and it has some of the best quotes I've heard. Anyway, just wanted to voice my pleasure. -[[User:Jesselangham|JesseLangham]]

== Tofu Homestar Update? ==

I just watched the toon for the first time earlier today, and the Tofu Homestar ending is different than what is listed in the transcript. In the version I saw, the top block of Tofu actually does fall off, and it lands in the cauldron with a splash. This cuases Homestar to transform to his usual look, and Marzipan says once again that Homestar is back to his usual self, this time in a disappointed-sounding tone. Homestar then proceeds to tell Marzipan that her costume makes her butt look big.
:Yup; they updated the toon! and now the transcript's been updated too. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 19:26, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

== Gossamer Goof ==

Um, sorry TBC, but Gossamer was not the bright orange color you depicted him as. Not even in his first appearance. He was red. Straight red. Even his cameos in the Looney Tunes movies he was red. -- [[User:TaranchulaVamp15|TaranchulaVamp15]] 14:35, 1 November 2005 (CST)
:Hey, you're right. If you want to add it under Goofs (or Remarks), that seems right to me. - {{User:Kookykman/sig}}
