{The Trogdor meeple rises off-screen. Cut to a farther shot of Homestar. Verbs appear on banners as Homestar recites them.}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: You can move {Homestar moves forward to the front} or chomp {spittle flies out of Homestar's mouth} or hide {Homestar ducks out of sight, then reappears on the other side} or burrow or even burninate!
{A small squiggle of smoke rises from Homestar's mouth}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: {speaking} Hey, that was great! It was super catchy! {The banners fall down on top of each other, and then tumble down off the screen.} Everybody's gonna remember this one! Again!
{Homestar ducks out of sight, then reappears much closer}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: {continues singing} These are the things that you can do {The Trogdor meeple wanders in from the left} when you go into your house {Homestar takes out a cottage meeple} and inside your house {Homestar flips the meeple, showing the burninated side} you have a couple friends {Doreauxgard pops up} and maybe eat a snack {Doreauxgard looks shocked, then is replaced with a plate. Slices of cantaloupe appear on the plate} and then play a board game, {The plate is pushed aside. Homestar is now at a table where the board game is set up, with a Trogdor meeple and two peasant meeples} called Trogdor!! The Board Game.

{A live-action version of Puppet Homestar is standing behind a table with a Trogdor meeple and a plate of cantaloupe slices sitting on it.}
PUPPET HOMESTAR: Hey! They finally made us into a real cartoon, Doreauxgard! Let's celebrate!
{Puppet Homestar opens his mouth and leans over the plate as if to begin eating the slices, but the Doreauxgard puppet immediately pops up to interrupt him.}
PUPPET DOREAUXGARD: You monster! What the crap? That was my friend Crenshaw! What did you do to him?
'PUPPET HOMESTAR: {as Doreauxgard is speaking} Wah! Oh no! Oh, I'm sorry!
{Puppet Homestar turns and walks off screen.}
PUPPET DOREAUXGARD: {indistinct}
{Doreauxgard begins stroking the cataloupe slices in a consoling manner with his tongue.}
PUPPET DOREAUXGARD: There there, Crenshaw.
{Puppet Homestar slides back in.}
PUPPET HOMESTAR: This is creepy.
{Puppet Homestar slides back out.}
PUPPET DOREAUXGARD: I'm sorry.
{Puppet Homestar returns.}
PUPPET HOMESTAR: That's just ina-pro-pro.
{A title card for The Homestar Runner and Doreauxgard Show! with the rubber Ina-Pro-Pro stamp on it covers the screen with a loud buzzer.}
PUPPET DOREAUXGARD: {sadly} This my only appendage.
