During [[Halloween]], the [[Characters#Main characters|characters]] dress up in [[Halloween Costumes|costumes]], in which they often engage in Halloween-related activities. Many of these costumes are esoteric icons or celebrities, most of which were popular/created in the 1970s, '80s, and '90s, leaving most of the other characters unable to identify '''who a particular character is supposed to be dressed as'''.

This is put quite frankly by [[The King of Town]] in [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]], in which he says, "I wish you'd dress up as something I could recognize! Pop culture... mumble grumble!"

== Occurrences ==
===[[Sketchbook (museum)]]===
*The last [[:Image:Sketchbook Thirteen.PNG|image]] offered ten dollars to anyone who can identify all of the costumes. They have all since been identified.

===[[Pumpkin Carve-nival]]===
*[[Marzipan]] doesn't know [[The King of Town]] is [[Mario]] from the long-running, well-known [[Wikipedia:Mario (series)|video game series]] by [[Nintendo]]. This could be because Marzipan insists she doesn't play video games, as said in the same toon.
*Strong Bad, who was in a Homestar Runner costume, said he thought [[The Goblin]] (in a Strong Bad costume) was the [[Wikipedia:The Green Hornet|Green Hornet]]. Strong Bad then thought The Goblin was a [[Witches' Brew]], while he was actually [[Bees|The Bee]].

[[Wikipedia:Vic Tayback|Vic Tayback]] played the role.

===[[Halloween Fairstival]]===

*Homestar was confused about his own costume. He thought he was some sort of a golf cart. He was actually Carl Spackler from [[Wikipedia:Caddyshack|''Caddyshack'']].
*Homestar thought The Cheat was a pile of leaves. The Cheat was actually Sigmund, from [[Wikipedia:Sigmund and the Sea Monsters|''Sigmund and the Sea Monsters'']].

*Homestar asked Strong Bad to guess who he is supposed to be, to which Strong Bad answers successfully with very little effort.

*When Homestar sees Strong Bad's [[wikipedia:Father Guido Sarducci|Father Guido Sarducci]] costume, he thinks it is an evil [[wikipedia:Carmen Sandiego|Carmen Sandiego]] costume. Incidentally, Strong Bad ''did'' dress up as Carmen Sandiego [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats|five years earlier]].

*Strong Bad correctly guesses that Bubs is dressed as a character from ''[[Wikipedia:Die Hard|Die Hard]]'', but says that he is a "Die Hard costume man", to Bubs' consternation.
*Pom Pom is dressed as a snowglobe with all the characters inside him, but Homestar thinks he is dressed as a "last episode of ''[[Wikipedia:St. Elsewhere|St. Elsewhere]]''".

*Strong Bad derides Strong Sad's [[Wikipedia:The Cremaster Cycle|Loughton Candidate]] costume as "the lovechild of [[Wikipedia:Dobby (Harry Potter)|Dobby]] the house elf and [[Wikipedia:Ron Weasley|Ron Weasley]] from some of your fanfiction."
*Marzipan has no idea what her own [[Wikipedia:Maetel Legend|Maetel]] costume is from. She just wore what Strong Sad told her to wear.
*Homestar believes Bubs ([[Wikipedia:Space Ace|Commander Borf]]) is dressed as "the [[Wikipedia:Genie (Disney)|Aladdin Genie]] dressed as [[Wikipedia:Lou Albano|Captain Lou Albano]]", and there's nothing Bubs (or presumably anyone) can do to make him think otherwise.

===[[Halloween Hijinks]]===
* Homestar, while singing the main theme to ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'', compares Bubs's costume (of an actual ''Zelda'' character, [[wikipedia:Characters of The Legend of Zelda#Beedle|Beedle]]), to "'70s Bubs giving a piggyback ride to [[wikipedia:Totoro|Totoro]] eating a purple burrito".
* In rapid fire, Homestar compares four characters' costumes to puppets made by [[The Muppets|Jim Henson]]:
** Strong Mad (as [[wikipedia:My Pet Monster|My Pet Monster]]) is "probably from ''[[wikipedia:Labyrinth (1986 film)|Labyrinth]]''".
** Pom Pom (as [[wikipedia:List of recurring The Simpsons characters#Capital City Goofball|The Capital City Goofball]]) is "probably from ''[[wikipedia:The Great Muppet Caper|Great Muppet Caper]]''".
** Strong Sad (as [[wikipedia:The Great Space Coaster|Baxter]]) is "probably from ''[[wikipedia:Sesame Street|Sesame Street]]''" (although much of ''The Great Space Coaster'''s crew is associated with Henson projects).
** The Poopsmith (as [[wikipedia:Space Quest|1 Guy from Andromeda]]) is "probably from ''[[wikipedia:Pigs in Space|Pigs in Space]]''".
* Homestar furthermore thinks that Marzipan's [[wikipedia:Captain Planet|Captain Planet]] costume is "zombie [[David Bowie|Ziggy Stardust]]", and Strong Bad wonders aloud why she seems to have a drive-thru speaker in her chest (referring to Captain Planet's globe insignia.) The "speaker" then speaks in [[Drive-Thru Whale|a grainy voice]].
* Strong Bad imitates Homestar in comparing Homsar's [[wikipedia:The Black Hole (1979 film)|B.O.B.]] costume to [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/BB-8 BB-8] after having been run over by a [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Sandcrawler Sandcrawler]. Homestar says that he was thinking of "[[wikipedia:Oscar the Grouch|Oscar the Grouch]] 2000".

===[[Halloween Hide & Seek]]===

* Every single main character who is able to speak normally, except the King of Town himself, declares that the King (dressed as {{w|Quest for Glory: So You Want to Be a Hero|The Antwerp}}) is "a no-armed space {{w|Grimace (character)|Grimace}}".
* Homestar asks if Marzipan is dressed as "that neon sign from Las Vegas". Marzipan, who is actually dressed as Trixie from ''[[Sam & Max]] {{w|Sam & Max Hit the Road|Hit the Road}}'', says that she is dressed as "whatever Strong Sad told me to dress up as", implying that once again she's unfamiliar with her own costume. Homestar then extends his guess to "a neon sign from Las Vegas for a depressing 70's casino that is somehow still operating. Prolly called the Silver Panache."
* Homestar believes that Strong Bad, dressed as {{w|Space Quest II|Sludge Vohaul}}, is "Grandmaw Strong Bane in her recliner, hooked up to her oxygen so she can play Boggle with her pal Eula Mae."
* Homestar thinks that Pom Pom (dressed as {{w|The Manhole}}) is dressed as "copy protection".
* He also compares Homsar, dressed as a gnome from ''{{w|Samorost}}'', to a "droopy {{w|Pikmin}}".
* Homestar further believes that Strong Mad ({{w|Grim Fandango|Glottis}}) is dressed as "a Goron dressed up as {{w|Speed Racer}}".
* Strong Bad guesses that Bubs ({{w|Day of the Tentacle|Hoagie}}) is dressed as "that [[Limozeen]] roadie who has to string Gary's 4-and-a half necked guitar before each show".
* Homestar accuses Coach Z of double-dipping his {{w|Queen Latifah}} costume from [[Happy Hallow-Day]]. Coach Z is dressed as {{w|The Legend of Kyrandia: Malcolm's Revenge|Malcolm}}.
* Homestar believes that Strong Sad's {{w|Dark Seed (video game)|Mike Dawson}} costume is actually {{w|Jeff Foxworthy}}.
* And although he was unable to recognize a ''{{w|Gummi Bears}}'' costume in [[Mr. Poofers Must Die]], if the Goblin is unlocked, Homestar compares its {{w|The Black Cauldron (video game)|Creeper}} costume with Toadwort.

===[[2022 Costume Pack Now Available]]===
*Homestar compares Strong Bad's costume to "{{w|Deathlok|Death Clock}} or whoever". Strong Bad is dressed as {{p|l=https://www.mariowiki.com/Dr._Crygor Dr. Crygor}}, but even he doesn't remember the character's name.
*Homestar believes that Pom Pom's costume is {{w|Twinkie the Kid}} after having eaten too many {{w|Twinkies}} as a kid. He's actually {{w|Time for Timer|Timer}}.
*Much to his dismay, Homestar's description of The Poopsmith's costume as "{{w|Tron: Legacy|evil Tron}}" was completely accurate.
*Homestar seems to believe that Marzipan is both {{w|Ringo Starr|Ringo}} and {{w|Sonny Bono}} from "that one {{w|Scooby-Doo}} episode getting eaten by a pink and green cotton candy monster costume". She's {{w|John Lennon}} from ''{{w|Yellow Submarine (film)|Yellow Submarine}}''.
*In a throwback to the original toon, Homestar confuses Strong Sad's {{w|Mikhail Gorbachev}} costume with the dad from {{w|ALF}} with gravy poured on his head.

===[[The Show: Ween Edition]]===
* The entire toon is about the characters guessing how Homestar will misinterpret their costumes. More specifically:
** Coach Z, dressed as {{w|Beastie Boys|a Beastie Boy from the Intergalactic video}}, believes Homestar will mistake his costume for a {{w|Devo}} crossing guard. Homestar actually mistakes it for a Devo ''construction worker''.
** The King of Town, dressed as {{w|Mad Max: Fury Road|Immortan Joe}}, believes Homestar will mistake his costume for what the King looks like in the morning before removing his CPAP machine. His guess is way off: Homestar actually mistakes it for {{w|Mötley Crüe}} in the ICÜ.
** Bubs, dressed as {{w|Cloak & Dagger (1984 film)|Jack Flack}}, believes Homestar will mistake him for a [[French]] {{w|G.I. Joe}} character apparently named "Jaunty Plumarenne". He is then asked, for whatever reason, to guess a dollar amount and guesses $17.50, which is, indeed, Homestar's guess.
** Marzipan believes her {{w|Pee-Wee's Playhouse|Penny}} costume will be mistaken for {{w|Abraham Lincoln|Abe Lincoln's}} {{w|Claymation}} daughter, but Homestar just holds up a card reading "WE NEED BREAD! STILL!"
** Pom Pom believes his {{w|ShowBiz Pizza Place|Billy Bob Brockali}} costume will be mistaken for a Stripèd Bear Jankboree and is correct.
** The Cheat believes his {{w|E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial|E.T. Dressed up by Gertie}} costume will be mistaken for that shriveled grandma [[The Muppets|Muppet]] from ''{{w|Dark Crystal}}'' (referring to Aughra) and is correct.
** Strong Bad believes his {{w|E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial|Elliot's brother Mike's Halloween costume}} costume will be mistaken for hobo ''{{w|Clockwork Orange}}'' and is correct.
** Strong Mad believes that his {{w|The Neverending Story|Rockbiter}} costume will be mistaken for an ashy pile of dog crap and is correct.
** Strong Sad believes his {{w|E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial|Elliot's Halloween costume}} costume will be mistaken for Strong Sad on a Tuesday. Homestar actually writes "TUBESDATE" instead of "Tuesday", but this is considered correct.
** Homestar declares that his own costume (actually {{w|The Dover Boys at Pimento University|Tom Dover}}) is a mashup of Fred from ''{{w|Super Chicken}}'' and Fred from ''{{w|Scooby-Doo}}''.

HRWiki:Changing username

Keapy:

{{shortcut|CU|float=left}}

<div style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;">__TOC__</div>
The user name users choose for themselves is not set in stone. On request, [[HRWiki:Bureaucrats|bureaucrats]] can change user account settings and article histories such that all previous edits of a given user are attributed to the new name using [[Special:Renameuser]]. Note: You must make the request from the account you want renamed; anonymous requests (except users whose usernames begin with a lowercase letter and therefore cannot log in) are ignored for security reasons.

==Requesting a change==

To have your name changed, please make your request on this page. Please follow the procedure carefully or your request will not be fulfilled. With rare exceptions, multiple name-change requests by the same user will not be honored.

===Instructions===

#Check if the new name you want does not exist ([[Special:Listusers]]). '''Do not create an account under the new name'''. ''<small>(If you already created the new account, don't worry. We can do some stuff and fix it, but it's still recommended that you don't.)</small>''
#Sign in with the account that you want renamed.
#:''Of course, this is not possible if your account has a lowercase first letter. If you can't log in, then skip this step.''
#Add your request to the '''bottom''' of the section below. Use the following template: <code><nowiki>{{renameuser|Old username|New username}}</nowiki></code>
#Once your request is dealt with, all edits from your old account will be reattributed to your new account.
#Move and redirect your user page and talk page to the new name if it has not already been done.

==Current requests==

{{renameuser|Peter222|Peter22}}
I don't really like my username. To many 2's. If you get rid of one it'll bother me less. Thank you.{{User:Peter222/sig}}
:On your user page, you state "I also despise my username", which says to me that you would not want to be stuck with Peter22. In order to avoid having to change your name a second time, I'm just going to wait till you come up with something you like as opposed to something that doesn't bother you as much. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:53, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
::The excessive two's are the only reasons I dislike it. If I have one less I'd be fine with it and probably wouldn't change it again. Peter22 would not bother me at all.{{User:Peter222/sig}}

: <s>Um, wrong page. Try [[HRWiki:Signature]].</s> That was written when this looked like a simple request for a sig, but I don't know that putting in all the periods really helps anything. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:21, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
::Yeah, this is for changing the actual ''username''. For what comes up when you type "<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>", then you can ask anybody, or change it yourself anytime. But only Bureaucrats can change your username. {{User:Thy Not Dennis/sig}} 19:32, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
Well, Mr. I Can't Get A Good Username Here, instead of adding periods to your name, why don't we come up with a ''good'' username for you instead. Having to enter all those periods when you log in or when someone mentions you by name would probably get real old real fast. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:29, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
:Okay how about The Username Searcher? [[User:MICGAGUH]]
::MICGAGUH, you have the opportunity to ''think'' for a while about your username, and you should take this opportunity to do that. You don't ''have'' to have a username that implies you can't get a good username. Unless that's what you really want, in which case, I can't change it. But say so and a Bureaucrat will. {{User:Thy Not Dennis/sig}} 15:16, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
:::Uh, what's a Bureaucrat? [[User:MICGAGUH]]
::::I'm a bureaucrat, but that's really not important. What ''is'' important is that you need to pick an actual name if you expect it to get changed. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:05, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
:::::I already got user files on Wikipedia and the Super Mario Wiki! I'm not saying who, but I'm not using those names! [[User:MICGAGUH]]

:::::::Also, who cares what your names are there. The only thing that's relevant here is tht you pick an actual name for this wiki. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:46, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
::::::::If you really want me to, change into Freakazoid or fight King Hippo in Punch-Out!! Wii [[User: MICGAGUH]]
:::::::::Pick the one you want. Change the template at the top of this thread. Be aware that I'm not going to change your name more than once, so be sure you like what you go with. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:40, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

===E.L. Cool===
{{renameuser|E.L. Cool|Elcool}}
No one called me E.L. Cool in a long time. Also, I switched to the shorter form on most other sites. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 21:18, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
:Done. I don't think I've ever tested changing a sysop's name before. It should be fine, but let me know if anything went awry permissions-wise. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:22, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
::Thank you! Looks like everything is in place. Even tried to delete a page and it's all cool. My sig is literally on almost every talk page. Should that stay, or can some bot fix it? {{User:Elcool/sig}} 07:40, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
:::There's no need to fix it en masse, especially since this was less of a name change and more of just a style change. Better and easier to just let the redirect do its thing. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:35, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

===Fotoshop===
{{renameuser|Fotoshop|Fuchsiania}}
When I signed up for an account at the Homestar Runner Wiki, my username "Fotoshop" was three years old. Now it is five.

While the phonetic source is obvious, the origin of the name, per se, is not. I formulated the username when I was in the third grade, for a Club Penguin account, as a roundabout means of bragging about my (rudimentary) skills with Photoshop. Of course, nobody who played Club Penguin knew what Photoshop was. As my devotion to Club Penguin declined, I began to use the name "Fotoshop" for other websites. Almost immediately, "Fotoshop" became my main handle. However, as I veered away from Photoshop and toward the open-source GIMP, and began to realize the utter simplicity and uncleverness of the username, "Fotoshop" began to seem less appealing and relevant. I began to despise the name.

I proceeded to experiment with other usernames when I finally settled on "Fuchsiania", the name of one of five hundred achievements in a Flash game of mine. I choose this name because ''1'') it's a portmanteau (I like those), ''2'') it's relevant, as I mentioned earlier, ''3'') it begins with the same letter as "Fotoshop", softening the transition, as I find that many people tend to associate by initials, and ''4'') it's easier to form a consistent visual identity than Fotoshop.

Now, I ask, can you please change my username on both the wiki and the forum to Fuchsiania, if you may be so kind?

Thank you in advance,<br />

I'm styling my name without the capital F these days. Wanted to update myself here to match. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 17:10, 26 November 2018 (UTC)

I've had a good run as SRMX12, but I'm going through a bit of a real-life transition and I feel it's time for a readable name that's more in line with my identity. {{User:SRMX12/sig}} 15:59, 23 October 2019 (UTC)
