{Cut to The Stick.}
THE CHEAT: {The Cheat noises} {flips a hat onto The Stick}
STRONG BAD: Aw, he looks adorable. Get a picture. Get a picture.
THE CHEAT: {The Cheat noises; imitating the shutter click} {takes a picture with an imaginary camera}
STRONG BAD: That's a keeper.
THE CHEAT: {querying The Cheat noises}
STRONG BAD: Yeah, I don't know where Strong Mad is. You'd better go check on him.
THE CHEAT: {affirmative The Cheat noises} {walks away}
STRONG BAD: {calling out} Make sure he didn't get into our stash of razor blade candy apples again! {pause; to The Stick} I hate you.
{Cut to The Brothers Strong's house.}
THE CHEAT: {walking in} {casual The Cheat noises}
{Cut to Strong Mad standing with his eyes shut and twitching violently.}
THE CHEAT: {screams, flails arms wildly}
{Strong Mad continues moaning and twitching. The Cheat stands in the doorway in shock and the Horrible Painting approaches him from behind.}
HORRIBLE PAINTING: Come on in heeeeeeere....
{The Cheat turns around and is bombarded with green circles emanating from the Horrible Painting. Cut to a statue shaking on the shelf while The Cheat continues screaming.}
{Cut to Marzipan playing her guitar.}
MARZIPAN: {singing in tune with the notes} E... A... D... G.... {phone begins to ring} Homestar, could you get that?
HOMESTAR RUNNER: {off-screen} No way!
MARZIPAN: {annoyed} Homestar, I'm busy tuning my costume! {strums}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: {off-screen} And I'm busy not answering the phone!
MARZIPAN: Humph. {Cut to answering machine with 666 waiting messages; foreboding music plays.} Oh, great, you made me miss it.
MARZIPAN: {answering machine recording} Boo! This is Marzipan. Leave me a spooky message. {beep}
HORRIBLE PAINTING: {answering machine recording} Come on in heeeeeere.... {green circles emanate from the speaker}
MARZIPAN: Jibblie Jibblie Jibblie! {continues}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: {simultaneously; walks on screen} Marzipan! I'm done not answering the phone! Do you need me to answer the phone? Marzipan? What are you doing? Are you playing a song? What is that? Raspberry Beret? Wait, what's that? You say you want me to go out by myself and leave you here? Okay! If you say so! {walks away}
{Cut to Strong Bad.}
STRONG BAD: {continuing insulting The Stick, from earlier} ...and your stupid face! And your stupid face!
HOMESTAR RUNNER: {walking on screen} Hey, Strong Bad! {to The Stick} Hey, The Cheat!
STRONG BAD: Well, if it isn't the Human Grate On My Nerves! Don't you have an estranged girlfriend to be annoying somewhere?
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Naw, she's busy shimmying and shaking and talking about giblets or something.
STRONG BAD: Jibbilits? {foreboding music} Homestar, are you telling me that Marzipan has the jibblies?
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Strong Bad, I think that's a bit of a personal question.
STRONG BAD: We gotta hurry! Strong Mad and The Cheat are in great...-ve... danger! {runs off}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: I hate you, The Stick.
{Cut to The Brothers Strong's house.}
{Homestar and Strong Bad peek in the doorway and gasp. Cut to The Cheat and Strong Mad, who both have the jibblies.}
STRONG BAD: Oh no! We're snowed in! I mean, we're too late! I know who's behind all this! {walks to and opens closet, revealing a stuffed dinosaur}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Who? Donkis is behind this?
STRONG BAD: No, no, not Strong Mad's stuffed Dromeciomimus. There's usually this really horrible painting in there. {cut to Horrible Painting} Of some kind of demon holding a torch. Why is he holding that torch?!
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Oh, you mean the jibblies painting.
STRONG BAD: {abrupt record scratch} Wait, you know about it?!
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Yeah! Brother called up Marzipan right before I ran into you.
STRONG BAD: Jibblies via phone line? It's worse than I thought!
HOMESTAR RUNNER: The Donkis must be stopped!
{Cut to a table.}
STRONG SAD: {deals a card} Oh, the Clutch of Glaives. {to Pom Pom} That means you should start sending some hot chicks over to your {smacks chest} dumpier friends. {flips another card} Ooh, and the Cult of Ray. That means you should seriously stop hogging all the hot chicks.
POM POM: {accusatory bubbling noises} {points at Strong Sad}
STRONG SAD: Don't look at me! The cards do not lie! {flips over a card with the Horrible Painting on it, which reads, "THE ROCOULM".} Weird. I've never seen this one before.

{The Poopsmith's mouth quivers and he holds up sign that says, "Jibblie Jibblie". Cut to the couch in Strong Bad's basement where Strong Bad and Homestar peek their head up.}
STRONG BAD: Now all the lame characters have been jibblied too.
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Eh-hem.
STRONG BAD: Eh, sorry man. All but one.
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Thank you very much.
STRONG BAD: Well, time to start evolving into mole people. Now shut your eyes really tight and try to heighten your other senses. {grunts} Eh, Homestar?

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Pretty good, creep-take. Is this your house?
HORRIBLE PAINTING: It's not much, but it's home. I plan to redo the kitchen.
{shot of the kitchen, which has a sink and a urinal. The sink drips once}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: That is literally so great. Listen, uh, how come you jibilized all my friends?
HORRIBLE PAINTING: I just wanted someone to come on in here. I love to entertain.
HOMESTAR RUNNER: What about that guy?
{Cut to the Goblin and the Goblin music plays. Cut back to Homestar and the Horrible Painting.}
HORRIBLE PAINTING: That guy has serious problems.
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Oh. Well, if I let you entertain me, will you un-jibblify my pals?

MARZIPAN: You guys, have you seen Homestar?
STRONG BAD: What are you doing in my house?
{Cut to Strong Mad's closet where the Horrible Painting is, including Homestar.}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: So... is it eternity yet? I think it is eternity already. Oops, it's five past eternity. You better let me go. Beep beep beep. Your eternity alarm is going off; it's probably time to send me home.
{Fade to black; a card reading, "END of TOON" is tossed into view.}

Fun Facts
Explanations
- The cards on the loading screen and during Pom Pom's and Strong Sad's scene are modeled after the 22 major arcana cards of a tarot deck. As Strong Sad is doing, they are often used for fortune telling, and have various meanings depending on location and order.
- "Ruskie" is American slang for Soviet Russians. "Ruskie" is also an adjective which, in Russian, means "Russian."
Trivia
- The "Thank You" painting in Marzipan's house is dressed up in orange and black for Halloween.
- When the Horrible Painting Demon De-Jibblifies everyone, the backwards sound clip is merely his classic line "come on in here" reversed.
- Strong Sad's tarot cards have "Uh OH, TAROT!" written on the back of them.
Remarks
- At the end of the cartoon, Homsar's name disappears when you click it, yet no dialogue is made. The names remain on all the others unless there is a scene.
- This is the longest Halloween toon on the site. Not including emails, this is the longest toon on the site. The only thing on the site longer is the email retirement.
- When Homestar Runner and The Goblin are inside the Horrible Painting, they appear in cyan, magenta, yellow, and black colors only. In addition, Homestar's colors seem to be inversed, with the exception of his eyes.
- When Pom Pom gets the jibblies, the "mouth" of his Cacodemon costume pulses with electricity the same way the Cacodemon sprite in Doom was animated when it used its electricity projectile attack.
- At the end of the cartoon, after clicking on one of the characters to start an Easter egg, if you press the tab key it will only highlight Homsar. This effect only happens during an Easter egg.
- Marzipan walks toward her answering machine when she tries to answer the phone, but the phone is not on the same table as the answering machine.
Goofs
- When The Cheat goes into Strong Mad's room, a line can be seen on the wall left to the door.
- At the end, when everyone's costume is revealed, the name of former pro wrestler Nikolai Volkoff is misspelled.
- At the end, when an Easter Egg is played, the name of Homsar's costume is still there if you roll over him.
Glitches
- During the close up of Marzipan's Answering Machine, clicking the play button on the machine repeatedly causes the audio of the toon to get out of sync with the cartoon.
- However, viewing the Homsar Easter Egg causes the audio to resync with the cartoon.
