I don't have a Flash decompiler, so does anyone know what the easter egg behind the sillhouettes is (if there is one)? Gfdgsgxgzgdrc 22:27, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

I added an oversized pic of it. 98.159.29.164 22:55, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

[edit] Rap song

What is the song Homestar is singing? 76.102.80.126 17:18, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

There is no other version of the song, and it has no title (yet). It's based on something he says a lot, though (Hey [some character], I really like your [someone from popular culture] costume!) -- ■■   PURPLE  WRENCH   ■■ 19:06, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
It has a similar beat / tempo / etc. to the "This monin, this monin" song from the love poem email. ColdReactive 21:13, 4 January 2016 (UTC)
The backing certainly sounds a lot like The Cheat playing something on a LaserDisc... presumably the Chaps used the same demo. I was surprised not to see it already listed under Inside References. 2.98.188.52 19:08, 18 July 2016 (UTC)

[edit] Google Search Description

When searching for Halloween 2015 Teaser on google, the first result is Hey Homestar (the 2015 teaser for haloween) and the description google gives is "i. k. d i. s m. s." is this a reference to the dodongo thing? ColdReactive 21:04, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

I don't know about "Hey Homestar", but the random letters are part of the Easter egg as you hypothesize. "dislike smoke" contains "DISlIKe SMoke". The text from the Flash file is always added as metadata, although it seems to be scrambled. Perhaps they put the letters in a different order so that they could properly be hidden behind each costume, then rearranged to spell "dislike smoke". And there are five periods, just as there are five missing letters, so "L E O K E" could have been added as shapes instead of text. (Ooooh, so close to Lemke. That would have been pretty amazing if they had replaced the M with an O) -- ■■   PURPLE  WRENCH   ■■ 01:52, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
