== Transcript ==
''{Homestar stands in a field, with a [[clapperboard]] obstructing the view. It reads "FLUFFY PUFF MARSHMALLOWS, Roll 1, Scene 1, Take 1, Director CHERRY GREG, Date (no date is written). The offscreen clapper loader speaks.}''

'''CLAPPER LOADER:''' Fluffy Puff Marshmallows, take one. 

''{The clapperboard snaps and is pulled out of frame to reveal Homestar holding an upside-down bag of Fluffy Puff Marshmallows. Cherry Greg, also offscreen, speaks.}''

'''CHERRY GREG:''' And, action.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Before I drink a tall glass of melonade, ''{presenting the upside-down bag}'' I like to eat about a hundred and forty-seven Fluffy Puff Marshmallows. 

'''CHERRY GREG:''' ''{interrupting}'' Cut! The bag's upside down.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh. Sorry. ''{flipping the bag the right way up}'' About a hundred and forty-seven Fluffy Puff—

'''CHERRY GREG:''' Uh, we're not rolling.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh. Right.

''{A 'bip' is heard, which signifies a cut to a new take. The clapper now reads "Take 2".}''

'''CLAPPER LOADER:''' Take two.

''{The clapper snaps and is pulled away again. The camera adjusts and focuses on Homestar, holding the bag (the right way up).}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Before I drink a tall glass of melonade, ''{presenting the bag}'' I like to eat about a hundred and forty-seven Flushy Push Marfmallows. <!--Note: even accounting for "Homestar Talk," Homestar really is saying the wrong word (marfmallows) here.--> Seriously folks, they're—

'''CHERRY GREG:''' Cut. You said Flushy Push.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I know! Can you believe it?

'''CHERRY GREG:''' Yeah, they're called Fluffy Puff.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I know! Can you believe it?

''{Bip to next scene, with updated clapper.}''

'''CLAPPER LOADER:''' Take three.

'''CHERRY GREG:''' And, action. 

''{The clapper snaps.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Before I drink a tall glass of melonade, ''{presenting the bag}'' I like to eat about a hundred and forty-seven Fluffy Puff Marshmallows. Seriously folks, they're the... ''{losing enthusiasm}'' uh, the... um... the... ''{drops the bag}'' the best.

''{Bip to next scene, with updated clapper.}''

'''CLAPPER LOADER:''' Take six. ''{snaps the clapper}''

'''CHERRY GREG:''' Action.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Before I drink something, oftentimes I eat something too.

''{Bip to next scene (the clapper updated to show "Roll 2, Take 13"), with the clapper loader mid-sentence.}''

'''CLAPPER LOADER:''' ...thirteen! ''{snaps the clapper}''

''{Homestar is revealed to be noisily chewing on a mouthful of marshmallows.}''

'''CHERRY GREG:''' Action.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{with his mouth full}'' What did you say?

'''CHERRY GREG:''' ''{more slowly}'' Action.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, okay.

''{Bip to next scene, skipping the clapper. It is now slightly dark out. Homestar is mid-sentence.}'' 

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ...a hundred and forty-seven Fluffy Puff Marshmallows. Seriously folks, they're the best.

''{As Homestar speaks an offscreen bird squawks loudly and two white liquid droppings fall from the sky onto his head.}'' 

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{triumphantly}'' Alright! We finally got it! That's a wrap, huh? You guys?

''{Bip to next scene. The clapper ("Roll 8, Take 57"), quickly snaps and pulls away. It is now darker out. Homestar is reading a stack of papers.}'' 

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{quietly reading out loud}'' ...I usually eat about a hundred and forty-seven... seriously, folks, they're the best... ''{dropping the papers, speaking normally}'' Okay, I got it!

'''CHERRY GREG:''' Okay. We're gonna get it this time. And... action.

''{Homestar stands motionless, saying nothing. Crickets chirp. A boom microphone comes down from the top of the frame and hits Homestar in the head.}'' 

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh! Before I drink a hundred and forty-seven glasses of melonade, ''{shaking the bag}'' I eat a hundred and forty-seven Fluffity Puffity Marshalades!

''{Bip to next scene, skipping the clapper. It is now sunset. Homestar looks tired and fed up.}''

'''CHERRY GREG:''' ''{tired}'' Action.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{in a monotone}'' Before I eat a tall slice of marmalade I like to drink lots and lots of marshmallows. I mean Fluffy Puffies.

''{Bip to next scene ("Roll 46, Take 854"). It is now night. The camera zooms in on Homestar's face. He no longer looks or sounds tired.}'' 

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{triumphantly}'' I like marshmallows!

''{Cut to an orange screen, where a bag of Fluffy Puff Marshmallows appears and spins forward, stopping when it is upright and in focus. The Announcer, offscreen, speaks.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' You heard it, folks! Homestar likes marshmallows!

'''JINGLE SINGERS:''' ''{offscreen, singing erratically to a music jingle}'' They're fluffity. They're puffity. One, two, three, four, five!

== Easter Eggs ==
[[Image:fluffypuff head.png|thumb|Homestar likes Marshmallows... in Abe Lincoln's Head]] 
*If you press L, the screen becomes [[Abraham Lincoln]]'s profile silhouette.
**This will only work for a lowercase "l". Having Caps Lock on, or holding down Shift, Ctrl or Alt, will cancel the effect.

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*This is the first short featuring the early current version of Homestar.
*Cherry Greg was voiced by co-creator [[Craig Zobel]] in this toon. In [[First Time Here?]], he was voiced by [[Dan Kubis]], a friend of the Brothers Chaps.
*[[Missy Palmer]] apparently sang in the ending jingle, as it is possible to make out [[Marzipan]]'s voice.

===Remarks===
*The [[Marshie]] shown on the bag of marshmallows in the preview on the [[TV Time Toons Menu]] is different from the Marshie shown in the actual toon. The [[:Image:fluffypuff1.png|toon]] version features a normal Marshie, yet the [[:Image:fluffypuff2.png|preview]] shows a completely different Marshie, winking.
*In some scenes, Homestar doesn't blink at all.
*Prior to the [[post-Flash site update]], this toon had a [[URLs With the Number 2 In Them|2 in the URL]]. Attempting to load the equivalent without a 2 resulted in a [[404]].
*At the end of the toon in the flash file, there's a clickable space outside the screen at left. Clicking it does nothing.

===Glitches===
*Whenever Homestar talks, his hat moves a little at the edge.

===Inside References===
*There are [[cricket noises]] in the toon.

===Fast Forward===
*Homestar similarly flubs his lines in [[First Time Here?]], which is also directed by Cherry Greg and bears many other similarities to this cartoon.
*The Abe Lincoln silhouette would later be seen in [[Everybody to the Limit]], [[An Open Forum]], and [[Decomposing Pumpkins]].
*Despite almost failing miserably, Homestar gets paid almost seven years later in [[winter pool]].
*The ending jingle for [[Meet Marshie]], the next commercial for Fluffy Puff, continues from this one, saying "six, seven, eight, nine ten!"

*The DVD version features ''two'' hidden creators' commentaries. To access them, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

===First Commentary Transcript===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Matt Chapman]], [[Mike Chapman]])

'''MATT:''' Oh, Cherry Greg. Your finest hour.

'''MIKE:''' Look at the light grey outline on Homestar's head.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, it's a little distracting.

'''MIKE:''' And his magenta body.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. There's a lot of discussion about his magenta body on these commentaries, I feel like.

'''MIKE:''' The light grey outline{{--}} I think this might be the only cartoon that has the outline that is quite that light.

'''MATT:''' Well, this was the debut of this version of Homestar, right?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, I think from fat{{--}} from fat-body Homestar.

'''MATT:''' Uh... So our friend, uh... friend and co{{--}} co-restore I believe it's{{--}}

'''MIKE:''' Millionaire gaddabout{{--}}

'''MATT:''' {{--}}Craig Zobel{{--}}

'''MIKE:''' {{--}}our Craig Zobel{{--}}

'''MATT:''' {{--}}is the voice here...

'''MIKE:''' He's also the voice of Kevin.

'''MATT:''' That's right.

'''MIKE:''' On the, umm, answering machine. We used to get emails from teenage girls saying how hot Kevin sounded.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Like, "Who is Kevin? He sounds hot!" We'd always forward those to Craig.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, so both Craig and, uh, our friend Dan play, uh, Cherry Greg, different parts.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, 'cause he plays him on the First Time Here{{--}}

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' {{--}} is that right?

'''MATT:''' Dan, who also is the voice of &#321;ukasz!

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' Yeah!

'''MATT:''' Eh &#321;ukasz! Cześć, Marzipan! {''brief pause''} Umm, look s{{--}} Homestar's eyes, when he closes his eyes, are just squished versions of his eye symbol.

'''MIKE:''' Really?

'''MATT:''' We didn't make the, like, closed eye symbol yet.

''{pause}''

'''MIKE:''' Those hills in the background look different from the usual hills, too.

'''MATT:''' They're larger.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, I don't know what, uh{{--}}

'''MATT:''' Or they're bushes. We still haven't decided, yet.

'''MIKE:''' They're hills.

'''MATT:''' Hill-bushes.

'''MIKE:''' Hill-bushes.

'''MATT:''' Hill-shes. Shubs. ''{chuckles}''

'''MIKE:''' Ah, bird crap.

'''MATT:''' It's always funny when there's bird crap. You can hear{{--}}

'''MIKE:''' You can hear, just noise in the background!

'''MATT:''' Yeah! Mike dropped a pencil or something.

'''MIKE:''' But this was d{{--}} wasn't this done when you were in, uh, Brooklyn?

'''MATT:''' I came home one time.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, you came home to record it?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, and recorded it all. Ooh, they got him. That's a small boom mike.

'''MIKE:''' Homestar's very large.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' Umm... Oh, Craig and Homestar have had it.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' I always feel like he sounds like{{--}} right here, when he says "Fluffy-Puffies", he sounds kinda like Janine from Ghostbusters. ''{in assumed voice}'' "Ghostbusters, what do you want?" Umm, when she's, like, reciting over the phone the things that she... "Do you believe in the occult, the blahbitta blah," talking to Winston Zeddemore?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. You lost me. And everyone else, I'm sure.
