Transcript

{We open on Homestar against the night sky, stars and the moon visible in the background. Ominous music plays.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Each Halloween, severals of people become mildly annoyed, when Homestar Runner misinterprets their costume.

{Record scratch, ominous music stops.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: So I made a game show out of it!

{Zoom out to see Homestar standing on an orange floor, the night sky lifts up to reveal The Show background. The Show's theme music plays.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: {to the tune of the The Show theme} Boo doo-doo! Boo-doo doo!

ANNOUNCER: {voice-over} That's right, paunchy America! It's time to play...

{The show's title appears on screen in time with the crowd.}

CROWD: {voice-over} Name! Slash! Guess! That! Homestar! Runner! Hallo! Ween! Costume! Misin! Terpre! Tation!

ANNOUNCER: {voice-over} And here's the star of Name/Guess That {mumbles} thing and the stuff: Homestar Runner!

{The show's title falls off-screen, and Homestar walks onstage in costume.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Thanks so much, Ron Johnny! It's a pleasure and a joy-joy to be doing this again for the first year in a row.

ANNOUNCER: {voice-over} Let's get you locked in the isolation booth, dum-dum—

{Homestar enters a small cylindrical chamber and shuts the door.}

ANNOUNCER: {voice-over, continued} —and bring out our first contestant: Coach Z!

{Cut to a window panel, which opens to reveal Coach Z dancing on a pedestal in costume.}

ANNOUNCER: {voice-over} Okay, now, Coach Z, the rules are simple. Just tell us what you think Homestar Runner's misinterpretation of your costume will be.

{Coach Z nods, and a lower third pops up reading "Coach Z as a Beastie Boy from the Intergalactic video".}

COACH Z: Well, I think there's a lot of good options, but I gotta go with, "Hey, Coach Z, I really like your Devo crossing guard costume! They was always telling me to go froward, move ahead!"

ANNOUNCER: {voice-over} A solid guess!

{A pop-up appears of a cinderblock, with a wig and googly eyes, and the text "Solid Guess!"}

ANNOUNCER: {voice-over} Let's go to the iso booth and see what Homestar chose.

{Cut back to the isolation booth. Homestar turns around to look at Coach Z. Drumroll.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Hey, Coach Z, I really like your Devo construction worker costume!

{Homestar holds up a card reading "Devo construction worker". Sad gameshow music plays.}

ANNOUNCER: {voice-over} Oooh, so close, Coach Z, but I'm afraid we can't accept it.

COACH Z: {sadly} Ohh...

ANNOUNCER: {voice-over} Thanks for playing!

{Cut to a shot of a bottle of water, surrounded by a strip of lights. The bottle is labelled "Smarty Water" and has two green smudges on it.}

ANNOUNCER 2: {voice-over} Coach Z will receive: that bottle of water that's over there. It has some green stuff on it, but it might be on the outside of the bottle, I'm not sure. That bottle of water, that's over there.

{Cut back to the stage, and Homestar's booth.}

ANNOUNCER: {voice-over} Continuing on, Homestar, how you feeling in there?

{Homestar jiggles, making the sound of shaking an empty soda cup with ice in the bottom.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Rumpled on the inside!

ANNOUNCER: {voice-over} Let's ignore that and meet our next contestant: The King of Town!

{Cut to another section of the stage, with a trapdoor in the floor, which opens, and the King of Town appears up through it, in costume.}

ANNOUNCER: {voice-over} All right, King, let's hear your guess.

{A lower third reads "King of Town as Immortan Joe".}

KING OF TOWN: "Hey, King, I weally wike your what-you-look-like-when-you-first-wake-up-still-wearing-your-CPAP-machine costume!"

ANNOUNCER: {voice-over} A real zinger! I could see that one!

{A pop-up appears of a pair of glasses, with a wig and cartoon eyes and mouth, with the text "I could see that one!"}

ANNOUNCER: {voice-over} Homestar?

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Hey, King of Town, I really cotton to your Mötley Crüe in the ICÜ costume.

{Homestar holds up a card reading "Mötley Crüe in the ICÜ". A buzzer sounds.}

ANNOUNCER: {voice-over} Ooh, way off with that one, KOT. Back in the pit.

{The trapdoor opens, and the King of Town falls back below the stage. Cut to a set of three doors, with a sign reading "Doors 3". Three doors are labelled "1rd", "2ce" and "3th". Zoom in to the "2ce" door.}

ANNOUNCER: {voice-over} And now, behind door number twice, it's Bubs!

{The door opens, revealing Bubs, in costume.}

ANNOUNCER: {voice-over} Time for you to guess Homestar's misinterpretation of your costume, without going over.

{The lower third reads "Bubs as Jack Flack".}

BUBS: Let's see... I think he'd say, "Say, Bubs, say, Bubs, I really like your French GI-Joe costume! What was that character's name again? Jaunty Plumarenne? He came with a baguette bazooka!"

{A Cheap As Free Toys action figure is shown based on Bubs's costume, named as "Jaunty Plumarenne", with other labels reading "Action-like figurine", "Baguette Bazooka" and "Bulletproof Beret".}

ANNOUNCER: {voice-over} I'm sorry, we're going to need your answer in the form of a dollar amount.

BUBS: Er... seventeen-fifty?

ANNOUNCER: {voice-over} Homestar, let's see it!

{Cut back to Homestar, who is thinking hard and writing on his card. He turns the card around to show "$17.50". A bell rings.}

ANNOUNCER: {voice-over} That's correct!

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Hooray!

{Homestar tears up the card and throws it as confetti.}

{Red lights flash as an alarm goes off.}

ANNOUNCER: Uh oh! You know what that sound means!

{Diamond wipe.}

ANNOUNCER: Speedstipe!

{Two live-action pennies roll and clink together. A Claymation Marzipan appears with the pennies as her eyes.}

ANNOUNCER: Marzipan!

{Card reads "Marzipan as Penny".}

MARZIPAN: Abe Lincoln's Claymation daughter!

{Pan right to Pom Pom.}

ANNOUNCER: Pom Pom?

{Card reads "Pom Pom as Billy Bob Brockali".}

POM POM: {Bubble noises: subtitled as "Stripèd Bear Jankboree}

ANNOUNCER: Stripèd Bear Jankboree!

{Pan right to The Cheat on a pedestal.}

ANNOUNCER: The Cheat!

{Card reads "The Cheat as E.T. Dressed Up By Gertie".}

THE CHEAT: {The Cheat noises: subtitled as "That Shriveled Grandma Muppet from Dark Crystal".}

ANNOUNCER: That Shriveled Grandma Muppet from Dark Crystal!

{Cut to Homestar, slouching and sinking in the booth.}

ANNOUNCER: Homestar, your answers?

{Homestar holds up two cards with Pom Pom and The Cheat's answers on them.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Yeah, all those. Except for Marzipan.

{Homestar puts down the cards and holds up another one reading "We Need Bread! Still!"}

ANNOUNCER: Two out of three ain't bad! {Homestar waves the card.} Let's see what they've won!

{Diamond wipe to a brown cloud of gas labelled "Meatsmell".}

ANNOUNCER 2: A cloud of Meatsmell. Never again go without the enticing aroma of nondescript meat with the {words appear} portable and affordable {words disappear as the label grows larger} Meatsmell! {Cheap As Free label appears and dings} From Cheap As Free Chemical!

ANNOUNCER: And speaking of nasty brown clouds—

{Diamond wipe to a closed window.}

'ANNOUNCER: —please welcome {window opens to reveal The Poopsmith} The Poopsmith!

{Jingle plays, but is interrupted by a splat sound.}

ANNOUNCER: Let's hear your silent guess.

{Cloes up on the Poopsmith. A spike comes out of his prop holding a card reading "Lifeline!"}

ANNOUNCER: Ooh, going to the phone for the assist!

{The Poopsmith nods. A card reads "The Poopsmith as Xur"}

ANNOUNCER: Let's dial 'em up!

{Phone rings. A split screen appears. Homsar picks up a yellow landline phone.}

HOMSAR: DaAaAaAh! Hey, Lumbar! {Card reads "Homsar as Sgt. Deux Deux} I typed out the whole recipe instead of just taking a screenshot!

{Drumroll. Cut back to Homestar in the booth.}

ANNOUNCER: Did the gamble pay off?

{Homestar holds up a card that says exactly what Homsar had said.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: {disappointed} Hey Lumbar, I typed out the whole recipe instead of just taking a screenshot. {drops the card}

{Dings play as a nail with eyes, mouth, a wig and a pair of arms appears.}

'ANNOUNCER: Nailed it! And now to close out today's show...

{Cut to a needlepoint door reading "The Brothers Strong"}

ANNOUNCER: ...please welcome The Brothers Strong!

{The door slides open, revealing Strong Bad, Strong Mad and Strong Sad. "Strong Bad is a Bad Guy" theme plays.}
