''{Homestar's head pops up slowly, then lightning flashes and thunder cracks}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Oh, hello. This year, we're going to do things a little differently. ''{scary voice, eyes slanted menacingly}'' We're all coming to your house to trick or treeeeat! ''{normal face and voice}'' So just answer the door, pick a treat, and drag it on top of us. We'll do the rest. ''{Pause}'' Okay, bye!

=== Coach Z ===
''{Knocks in a rhythm.}''

====Intro==== 
:''{rapping}'' Doot-doo-doot-doo, an' I'll drink up all the Hennessy ya got on your shelf, but first let me introduce myself. My name is Coach Z.  Pronounced with an "oach Z."

====Jujyfruits==== 
:Ooh, Jorjyfruits! Oh, I mean Jerjyfrorts. I mean, ''{straining}'' GEORGIE FRORGIE! ''{pause}'' George Foreman?

====Boston Baked Beans==== 
:Ya know, I once knew a fellow in Boston 'could tell ya the time of the day at any time of the day. Ya'd say, "Say there Boston, what's the time of day?" And he'd say, "10:30." And you'd look at him and say, "But Boston, it's half past noon!" And he'd look back at ya and say, "Well, those are the breaks."

====Cherry Clan====
:Da Cherry Clan. Are they related to the Wu-Tang Clan? 'Cause ya know, their first album was the ''BAERMB''! In fact, you don't have a copy of "The 36 Chambers" in there, do ya? 'Cause I'd love to listen to it right now! Ya mind if I come in?

=== The King Of Town ===
''{Rings the doorbell instead of knocking.}''

====Intro==== 
:Trick or treat, I'm horrible! ''{Strong Bad pokes his head out from the right of the screen and says, "You got that right." The Hornblower rides by on a stone wheel.}''

====Butterscotch====
:Ooh, butterscotch! Would you mind melting those down and pouring them over a ham? ''{pulls out a [[ham]]}''

====Fun size Butterfinger====
:That's it?! Well, if you think that I'll accept this paltry treat just because it has "butter" in the name... well, you'd be right! Give it here!

====Stick of Butter==== 
:Ooh, a stick of butter! ''{noisily scarfs the stick of butter} {still with butter in his mouth}'' Trick or treat. Again? Please??

=== Strong Mad and The Cheat ===
''{Bangs on door, creating yellow bursts.}''

====Intro==== 
:'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}''  
:'''STRONG MAD:''' IS YOUR REFRIGERATOR PERRY RUNNING?

====Rock Candy==== 
:'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{staring at it, puzzled.}'' HALLOWEEN!

====Pop Rocks==== 
:''{The Cheat eats the Pop Rocks}'' 
:'''STRONG MAD:''' NO. NO! NOOO!!  
:''{The Cheat takes a drink of cola}''
:'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{squealing The Cheat noises, head explodes}''

====Rocks==== 
:''{Strong Mad eats the rocks, then bites off half of a can of cola. The Cheat's head inexplicably explodes.}''

=== Marzipan ===
''{Also rings the doorbell.}''

====Intro==== 
:''{singing}'' Hey, ho! Let's go! Hey, ho! Trick or treat!

====Candy Corn==== 
:''Candy'' corn?? Do you have any real corn? Or Indian corn?

====Rice Cakes==== 
:Hey, rice cakes! I like to eat them without water.

====Steak==== 
:Is this a joke? It's not funny. ''{Strong Bad drops three more steaks into her bag with a grin on his face}''

=== The Poopsmith and Pom Pom ===
''{Knocks rapidly and softly.}''

{''They don't have an intro, as neither can really speak.''}

====Mary Jane==== 
:''{They look at each other, then The Poopsmith holds up a sign that says "Give us something good instead". Pom Pom laughs.}''

====Chick-O-Stick==== 
:''{The Poopsmith dunks it in a bucket labeled "dippin stuff", which looks suspiciously like [[whatsit]]. He offers it to Pom Pom, who shakes his head "no".}''

====Astropop==== 
:''{The Poopsmith shoots his gun at Pom Pom so it reflects off Pom Pom's "I &#9829; Flint" button and his microphone and hits himself in the chest sensor. He falls off the side of the steps.}''

====Pumpkin==== 
:''{The "secret" music from the [[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda series|Zelda]] video game series plays. The pumpkin is firmly lodged in The Poopsmith's mouth.  When the door closes, a pixelated caption reads "YOU UNLOCKED A SECRET CHARACTER!"}''

=== Homsar ===
''{Knocks "[[Wikipedia:Shave and a Haircut|Shave and a Haircut]]".}''

''{This is an Easter egg, only accessible if you give The Poopsmith or Pom Pom the pumpkin.}''

====Intro==== 
:I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for some candy today!

====Shavin' Creem==== 
:YaAaAaAh, I'm the original ladies' man!

====Black and Orange Taffy==== 
:''(singing)'' If you give me a treat, make sure that it's sweet, and I'll eeeat iiiiiit...

====Wrench==== 
:Oh no, I think this is my favorite!

=== Strong Bad ===
''{Instead of knocking or ringing, Strong Bad yells, "Open the freakin' door!"}''

====Intro==== 
:Where in the world is my candy?

====Fun Size Butterfinger==== 
:Oh, a "fun size" candy bar?  Tell me this: what's fun about eating less candy?  Maybe if you gave me an entire bag of them it would be fun.  The only fun I'm going to have with this thing is smearing it all over your door when I leave. ''{If you choose this, the door is smeared with the Butterfinger when Strong Sad shows up.}''

====Marshmallow Bunny==== 
:Why you lazy crap for crap! All you've got is old freakin' Easter candy? This thing's rock hard, man! Well, you just made it onto my "People I gotta egg today" list. ''{He shows you the list:}''

<blockquote class="email" style="background-image:none;border:2px solid black;background:#FFFF99;color:#000;width:25%">
People to egg<br>
(in no particular order)<br>
<br>
ronnie pudding<br>

<br>
<span style="color:red">kewpie dan</span><br>
<br>
homestar<br>
<br>
you lazy crap<br> for crap
</blockquote>

====Apple==== 
:What is ''this'' crap?!? What are you, a dentist? Or a hippie? Or some kind of ''hippie dentist''?

=== Strong Sad ===
''{Knocks softly.}''

====Intro==== 
:Trick or treat, I guess.

====Necco candy wafers==== 
:Oh, Necco Wafers.  These remind me of when I used to eat the colored chalk when I was in school. I was sick for a year and nearly died...

====Baking Chocolate====
:''{a bit surprised and bounces slightly}'' Oh! Baking Chocolate! I used to eat this stuff when there was no chocolate in the house. And now, it's my only friend.

====Campbell's Soup==== 
:Oh. While I do appreciate the relevance of this, given my costume, I was kind of hoping for something that I wouldn't have to prepare. You know, like Necco Wafers or baking chocolate...

=== Bubs ===
''{Knocks in a funky rhythm, similar, but not identical, to Coach Z's.}''
<!-- See [[Talk:Hip Hop Dance]]: this is likely NOT the same as Hip Hop Dance. -->
====Intro==== 
:''{singing}'' Please, baby please, baby baby baby ''please''! Gimme some candy!

====Mallo Cup==== 
:''{singing}'' I got a shallow gup and a crallow nup, somebody give me dat Mallow Cup.

====Dum-Dums==== 
:Oh! ''{singing}'' I'm such a big dum-diddy-dum-diddy-diddy-diddy-dum-dum...ie.

====Bazooka Gum==== 
:I never understand the comics that come in this bubble gum. I mean, the first frame is some guy saying,''{he unfolds the comic and shows it to you}'' "Look out, the sky is falling!" And the second frame is some guy getting hit on the head with a rock ''{he unfolds the comic and shows it to you again. The second frame is captioned "Fortune: The rock hit the guy in the sweater"}''. And I'm sitting there going, "What the heck just happened?", and before I know it, I swallowed my bubble gum!

=== Homestar Runner ===
''{Homestar continually knocks until you answer.}''

====Intro==== 
:''{singing}'' Believe it or not, I'm walkin' around, I never thought I could trick or tre-e-eat...

====Smarties==== 
:All right, Smarties!  Marzipan said to eat lots of these this year.  I'm not really sure why she said that though. ''{Crickets chirp, record scratches when Homestar breaks the silence.}'' Umm... trick or treat!

====Circus Peanuts==== 
:''{Dances and "doots" ''[[Wikipedia:Entrance of the Gladiators|Entrance of the Gladiators]]'' (known to most as a circus theme). You close the door, but Homestar rings the doorbell, and when you answer, he is still dancing and singing.}''

====Handful of Change==== 
:''{sounding slightly disappointed}'' Oh... a handful of change. I guess I can use this to go, um, buy some candy. So... thank you for adding a step to my Halloween process.

== Later that Night... ==

=== The Discussion ===

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey Strong Bad, I really like your costume. The Spanish Inquisition? That's great.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Look, for the last time, I'm not The Spanish Inquisition, I'm not Cab Calloway, and I'm not Strong Bad wearing a yellow turtleneck! I'm Carmen freakin' Sandiego!!

'''MARZIPAN:''' I like Cab Calloway.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, Poopsmith, that's the worst costume I ever saw. I mean, you're ''Lazer Tag''?  What, are you supposed to be dressed up as the product or is it more abstract than that, like you're supposed to be the concept of Lazer Tag? Come on man, you know you just found that old crap in a trunk in your basement.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Ease off, Strong Bad! He's not the one that dressed up as a ''girl'' two years in a row.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh ho ho ho, you asked for it, King.

''{Strong Mad punches The King of Town}''

'''BUBS:''' Did any of you guys go to that house that was givin' out change? I changed my costume and went back ten times. I made 35 dollars!

'''STRONG SAD:'''  Did you guys go to that house where they let you into this big room and there's all these people wearing black hoods and they ask you these questions about life and existence and if you answer them wrong you get eternal damnation, but if you answer them right you get a Twizzler?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Um... no.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No.

'''COACH Z:''' Nope.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' No.

'''BUBS:''' Nope.

'''THE CHEAT:''' Meh.

'''STRONG MAD:''' NO.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh. Never mind.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I like your costume, Strong Sad, but you weren't invited this year.

'''COACH Z:''' Say, Pom Pom, check out this funky bass groove! A doo'rear, a doo'ri, a doo'rear, a doo'ri! ''{Grooves around a little}''

''{Pause}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Have they voted yet?  I really have to pee.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, and the Poopsmith's not smelling any rosier, either.  

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, oh! I've got an idea! Let's totally freak 'em out. ''Let's repeat the stuff we just saaaaid!''

''{loops back to the start of the discussion}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*When Pom Pom and the Poopsmith knock at your door, move the pumpkin that's sitting on your porch onto them to unlock Homsar (transcription [[#Homsar|above]]). Homsar will only appear in the final scene if you unlock him, though he doesn't say anything. 
*When Strong Bad's egging list is up, click on "[[kewpie dan]]" to see a sketch of him. (Note: although this egg appears to be glitched, it was intended to open [[HR:kewpiedan.html|this page]] in a new window.)
*In the final scene when all of the characters are talking, you can roll over the skull, pumpkin and moon to see funny captions.
**Skull: Get offa me!
**Pumpkin: No costume. Just a pumpkin.
**Moon: Just pick a freakin' character already!

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*The length of this toon was originally listed as "?:??" on the Toons page, and now as 4 minutes.
**This is because you could sit there for hours on end doing ''no'' commands, and the length would be longer than 240 seconds.
*Marzipan's costume has a small hole in it and you can see her pink flesh beneath, giving further credence to the theory that her body is actually skirt-shaped.
*Originally Coach Z's intro rap was: "Doot-doo-doot-doo, and I think I'll make ya fall right down on your face, but first let me introduce myself. My name is Hoodsey. Pronounced with an 'oodsey.'"
*This is the first instance of [[The Cheat's Head Exploding]].
*The Bazooka Joe comic you see when you give Bubs Bazooka Joe Bubble Gum originally came from an idea The Brothers Chaps thought up for a possible weekly feature.  It was never released until they showed it at the [[NYU Talk - 1 Mar 2005|March 1st, 2005 NYU Talk]].
*This is the first toon to feature all the [[Characters#Main characters|main characters]].

===Remarks===
[[Image:weirdedoutthecheat.PNG|thumb|NO! NOO! NOOO!]]
*Giving The Cheat and Strong Mad [[Wikipedia:Pop Rocks|pop rocks]] shows you a rare glimpse of The Cheat's mouth open without his teeth being visible.
*Bubs's comment about the house that was giving out change is interesting; he went back ten times (making a total of 11 trips) and made $35, implying that the inhabitant was giving out a surprisingly generous $3.18 per trick-or-treater, on average.
*The only candy that shows up twice is the Fun Size [[Wikipedia:Butterfinger|Butterfinger]].
*Clicking "Back" takes you to [[Main Page 7]], the Halloween Main Page.
*Strong Bad is seen during the King of Town's segment as well as in Marzipan's reaction to steak, but he is not in costume in either one.
*[[The Brothers Chaps]] didn't use the current style of animation on Strong Bad (his shadowed eyes), even though they used it in an earlier toon, [[A Mother's Day Message]].
*When The King of Town appears, Strong Bad has the new diamond but older eyes (he also has this design if you give the steak to Marzipan as her treat; he has it when he sneaks more steaks into her bag), and when he comes to the door, he is in his older style.
*All of the King of Town's treat options involve butter somewhere.
*In the beginning, when the shadows of the things are being thrown at the shadow of the tree, the two shadows overlap and make a darker shadow.
*Strong Sad mentioned a house in which you get a Twizzler if you answer a question correctly, but according to [[fan club]], he can't eat Twizzlers.

===Goofs===
*In the final scene where all of the characters are talking, Strong Bad's caption is misspelled: it should read "[[Wikipedia:Carmen Sandiego|Carmen Sandiego]]", not "Carmen San Diego".
**Bubs's caption is also misspelled as "Mars Blackman" instead of "Mars Blackmon".
*When Homestar says, "We're coming to your house to trick or treat!", the bottom outline on his cap moves.
*When Strong Bad smears the Butterfinger bar on the door and Strong Sad shows up, the melted chocolate on the door disappears when the choices of candy show up.
*Just after Homestar says "Let's repeat the stuff that we just saaaaid!", Strong Bad's mouth opens a little wider.

===Glitches===
*The light switch can be moved up and down, but it doesn't do anything.  You can flip the switch even while the door is opened, and if you leave the light switch down, it will automatically go back up when the next person knocks.
*When Homestar rings the doorbell, the sound of the door opening can be heard. This also happens, but not always, after Strong Bad says, "Open the freakin' door!"
*After Bubs says, "Gimme some candy!", the outline under his mouth nearly vanishes, and the shading of his 'MARS' chain also changes.
*When Homestar is introducing the toon, the line between his head and hat and his eyes seem to move very slightly up and down.

===Inside References===
*The following are all references from the previous year's Halloween toon, [[Homestarloween Party]]:
**The music that plays when Homestar rises up at the start is the same one used when it was time for "Scary Flashlight Ghost Storytelling With a Flashlight".
**Stuffing the pumpkin into the Poopsmith's mouth is a reference to when he was seen bobbing for pumpkins and holding them in his mouth.
**Marzipan noting at the end that "I like your costume, Strong Sad, but you weren't invited this year" refers to the fact that he had been uninvited by Marzipan the previous year. 
**The King of Town's comment on Strong Bad dressing up as a girl for two years in a row refers to the previous Halloween toon where Strong Bad dressed up as [[Wikipedia:Carmen Miranda|Carmen Miranda]].
***For two years in a row, Strong Bad also dressed up as girls named Carmen.

*Bubs's line when you give him the [[Wikipedia:Dum Dum Pop|Dum-Dum Pop]] is a reference to [[A Jumping Jack Contest]].
*Strong Mad attempted almost the same prank greeting as in this toon on [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 4.0]].
*Coach Z's rap is a reference to [[alcohol]].
*This is another appearance of [[Loose Coins]].

===Real-World References===
*Coach Z raps a couple lines from [[Wikipedia:Digital Underground|Digital Underground's]] biggest hit song, "The Humpty Dance," substituting his own name for Humpty Hump's. The rhythm he knocks on the door is the [[Wikipedia:Amen Break|Amen Break]]. The drink he mentions, [[Wikipedia:Hennessy|Hennessy]], is a brand of cognac, or brandy.  Another line is used at the voting screen when Coach Z tells Pom Pom to "check out this bass groove right here."
*The joke involving The Cheat consuming Pop Rocks and soda is a reference to [http://www.snopes.com/horrors/freakish/poprocks.htm an urban legend] that states that Mikey, the [[Wikipedia:Life (cereal)|Life cereal]] mascot, died when consuming Pop Rocks and soda caused his stomach to explode.
*When you drag the pumpkin onto Pom Pom and the Poopsmith, the music that is played is from the [[The Legend of Zelda|''Legend of Zelda'' games]], usually when you unlock something (like blowing up a wall with a bomb, thus creating a door). The particular sound music they use in the toon is from "[[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]", as you can hear the dungeon music after the sound plays.
*Ronnie Pudding, the first name on Strong Bad's list of houses to egg, is the name of [[Spinal Tap]]'s first bassist.
*Strong Bad greets you with "Where in the world is my candy?", a reference to the computer game and TV show "[[Wikipedia:List of Carmen Sandiego products#Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?|Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?]]" from which his costume comes.
*Strong Sad's comment on receiving the [[Wikipedia:Campbell Soup Company|Campbell's soup]] is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Andy Warhol|Andy Warhol's]] (whom Strong Sad is dressed as) series of paintings ''Campbell's Soup''.
*"Please baby, please baby, baby baby please" is a reference to Mars Blackmon's (whom Bubs is dressed up as) exact same line in [[imdb:tt0091939|She's Gotta Have It]].
*The skull's line at the end when you hold the mouse pointer over it ("Get offa me") is a quote from Murray, the Demonic Talking Skull from the [[Wikipedia:Monkey Island|''Monkey Island'']] games.
*Homsar's greeting is a play on [[Wikipedia:J. Wellington Wimpy|Wimpy's]] famous line "I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today."
*Marzipan's intro is "Hey, ho! Let's go!" from [[Wikipedia:The Ramones|The Ramones']] 1976 hit, "Blitzkrieg Bop".  This was also a reference/tribute to Joey's death earlier in 2001.
*Homestar's greeting is sung to the tune of (and is a play on) the theme song to the TV show [[Wikipedia:The Greatest American Hero|The Greatest American Hero]].
*[[Wikipedia:Cab Calloway|Cab Calloway]] was a famous jazz bandleader and singer whose career spanned many years.
*Homestar saying Strong Bad's costume is the "[[Wikipedia:Spanish Inquisition|Spanish Inquisition]]" is a reference to a [[Monty Python]] [[Wikipedia:The Spanish Inquisition (Monty Python)|sketch of the same name]] in which [[Wikipedia:Michael Palin|Michael Palin]], [[Wikipedia:Terry Jones|Terry Jones]], and [[Wikipedia:Terry Gilliam|Terry Gilliam]] were dressed in similar costumes.
*The Poopsmith holding up a sign due to his inability to talk (or his vow of silence) is reminiscent of Wile E. Coyote of [[Looney Tunes]] fame.
* The "I choose YOU, <insert character name here>chu" is an obvious reference to the show "[[Wikipedia:Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]]," where one character, [[Wikipedia:Ash Ketchum|Ash]], has a similar famous line, "I choose YOU, [[Pikachu]]!"
* The subject line of the email when the Poopsmith is chosen for best costume, Teddy Poopspin, references [[Wikipedia:Teddy Ruxpin|Teddy Ruxpin]], a popular toy from the '80s made by Worlds of Wonder, the same company that made Lazer Tag.
* If you choose the King of Town for best costume, the subject line of the email is "King of Town, Now Sit Down."  This is a reference to Sierra Online's [[Wikipedia: Quest for Glory|Quest for Glory]] (aka Hero's Quest), where the phrase "Hut of brown, now sit down" was used to gain access to Baba Yaga's magic hut.
* If you choose Strong Sad for best costume, the subject line of the email is "A vote for Strong Sad is a vote for America." This is a reference to 1984 Presidential Candidate Walter Mondale's Campaign slogan, which was "A vote for Walter Mondale is a vote for America." Mondale lost the election to Ronald Reagan in a landslide, winning only his home state (Minnesota) and the District of Columbia.
* If you choose Marzipan for best costume, the subject is a play on the [[Wikipedia:Riot Grrrl|Riot Grrrl]] music scene.
* Giving Strong Mad and The Cheat the rocks may be a reference to the only Halloween treat [[Peanuts|Charlie Brown]] receives in ''[[Wikipedia:It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown|It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown]]''.
<!-- The Idaho-Simpsons thing is mentioned on the Halloween Costumes page. -->
*When Coach Z mentions "36 Chambers," it is a reference to the Wu-Tang Clan Album "Enter The Wu-Tang" also known as the 36 Chambers
*The "D" on the baseball cap worn by Pom Pom as part of his Michael Moore costume is the insignia for the [[Wikipedia:Detroit Tigers|Detroit Tigers]].

===Fast Forward===
*"Cheatachu" later became The Cheat's screen name in [[i she be]] and [[marzipan]].
*The music that was used as Homestar was rising would later be used in the Strong Bad Email [[theme park]] as background music for "The Strong Sad Gets Decked Repeatedly Stunt Spooktacular".
*"Your house" was later reused in [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]] where you could, once again, choose Coach Z's and Bubs's treats (and Stinkoman's, too).
**Also, Strong Mad would wear Pom Pom's Detroit Tigers baseball cap as part of his [[Wikipedia:Magnum, P.I.|Magnum, P.I.]] costume.
*The phrase "Get offa me!" would later be said by a [[sticky note]] in the email [[vacation]].
*This toon started the [[Bubslegum Comics]].
*The jingle that Homsar sings when given candy sounds strangely like the jingle for [[SBLOUNSKCHED!]], in [[candy product]]
*The 2005 Halloween toon, [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]], is also done in the style of a decision-making game, just like this Halloween toon.
*The result of the voting contest was finally revealed, 5 years after the toon's release, in [[Halloween Awards Show]].
*Bubs's door-knocking rhythm would become the same rhythm as used in Hip Hop Dance from [[New Boots]]. 
*The Cheat again fully opens his mouth in [[rough copy]].

== DVD Version ==
*The title and opening credits scene has been moved to after the first scene.
*Homestar does not ask the viewer to drag the treats on top of them.
*The doors open on their own.
*Coach Z no longer says "George Foreman?" when given the Jujyfruits.
*The "unlocking" sound for Homsar is higher-pitched and cleaner. It is also much different than on the website.
*Homsar's lines for the shaving cream and wrench are inexplicably switched.
*Homsar's song about the black and orange taffy is more complete, rather than being cut off at the very start, as is the case on the website.
*Homsar appears in the ending whether he was unlocked or not.
*Marzipan adds "What's wrong with girls?" after Strong Mad punches The King of Town.
*Marzipan says "No" to Strong Sad's question just before Strong Sad replies.
*The sentence "Vote for your favorite costume!!" at the end is missing and Homestar does not ask if the viewer has voted yet.
*As Homestar starts the repetition of the end scene, the scene fades out and the toon ends. Specifically, it completely fades out as Homestar says, "The Spanish Inquisition?"
*If you wait too long without making a choice when Pom Pom and The Poopsmith are at the door, the Homsar scene is automatically unlocked.
**However, as a result, just like on the website, the pumpkin goes into the Poopsmith's mouth and you forgo the opportunity to give them a real treat.
*You no longer have the opportunity to see who is dressed up as who at the end, like you can on the website.
*When the toon is played in "Play All", the treats are automatically picked for you. Also, Homsar is automatically unlocked. The treats automatically picked are:
**'''Coach Z''': Boston Baked Beans
**'''The King of Town''': Stick of Butter
**'''The Cheat and Strong Mad''': Pop Rocks
**'''Marzipan''': Rice Cakes
**'''The Poopsmith and Pom Pom''': Chick-O-Stick
**'''Homsar''': Black and Orange Taffy
**'''Strong Bad''': Fun Size Butterfinger
**'''Strong Sad''': Baking Chocolate
**'''Bubs''': Mallo Cup
**'''Homestar Runner''': Circus Peanuts
