==Transcript==
''{The toon opens with Marzipan playing her guitar in her living room, decorated with ghost streamers. Homestar walks up, and Marzipan stops playing as she turns around.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{angry}'' Marzipan, it's over! ''{raises his sword prop}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{unfazed}'' Okay.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I can't take another day of this ''{plants his sword into the floor}'' garbage relationship!

'''MARZIPAN:''' That's fine.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Wait, what day is it?

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{annoyed}'' Halloween.

''{Homestar produces a book labeled "PLAN THING" and opens it up.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{sheepishly}'' Oops, sorry! I was looking at next week. ''This'' is what I'm supposed to say to you today: ''{jumps up excitedly}'' Marzipan! This is it! ''{picks up and raises his sword}'' This Halloween I'm finally going to tell a top-notch four-and-a-half-stars-with-over-six-hundred-reviews-quality ghost story! And you know what that means!

''{The music Marzipan was playing starts back up.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Um, that you're gonna break up with me next week apparently?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{dramatically}'' Mr. Poofers must die!!

''{Cut to a title screen reading "Mr. Poofers Must Die". Mr. Poofers's eyes occasionally briefly flash in place of the O's in the title. The words "A TOP-NOTCH 4½ STARS WITH OVER 600 REVIEWS QUALITY GHOST STORY" appear at the bottom of the screen.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{voiceover}'' Who the crap is Mr. Poofers?

''{The scene transitions to Mr. Poofers on an orange background.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' Hey everyone! Hey everyone, look! Hey everyone, look at Mr. Poofers!

''{Mr. Poofers sits down, with an accompanying noise.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' Mr. Poofers is a dog{{--}}

''{Mr. Poofers scratches himself with his hind leg and a question mark appears over his head.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' {{--}}but he sounds like this!

''{As Homestar says each word that Mr. Poofers "sounds like", Mr. Poofers opens his mouth, and the same word appears inside it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' Miffa miffa meeka moo! 

''{Mr. Poofers looks around.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' That is funny talk for a dog!

''{Mr. Poofers stands up.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:'''  ''{voiceover}'' What a great cloud with legs Mr. Poofers is.

''{Mr. Poofers's fur fluffs out to make him look more cloud-like.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' Uh, I mean, what a great ''dog''{{--}}

''{Mr. Poofers returns to normal and scratches himself.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' {{--}}Mr. Poofers is!

''{The screen changes to a dining room table with three pine cones on it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' Mr. Poofers eats pimecones for breakfast, ''{Mr. Poofers appears and eats half of the first pine cone}'' lunch, ''{he eats the second}'' and dinner. ''{he eats the third}'' Imagine that! Pimecones for B, L, and D!

''{As he says that last part, placards labeled "B", "L", and "D" fall in front of the half-eaten pine cones. Cut to Old Man Rootbeer, who looks around.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' Oh, look! Oh, look, everyone! There's Old Man Rootbeer! Old Man Rootbeer is not a big fan of Mr. Poofers.

''{The screen pans over as Mr. Poofers runs up in the background. Old Man Rootbeer shakes his fist at him.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' Not really that much of a big fan at all. ''{As Rootbeer, who points at Mr. Poofers:}'' That kid eats my pimecones! ''{normally}'' Shouted Old Man Rootbeer. 

''{Cut to Rootbeer and Mr. Poofers, standing near a hammock with four pine cones sitting nearby.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover, as Rootbeer}'' I'm gonna take a nap on my college hammock, ''{Rootbeer shakes his fist}'' so don't eat my pimecones! ''{normally}'' Old Man Rootbeer told Mr. Poofers. ''{as Mr. Poofers}'' Miffa miffa!

''{Rootbeer lies down on the hammock, and his hat falls over his face.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' After a few moments, Old Man Rootbeer had fallen a-slumber. 

''{Mr. Poofers sneaks closer.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' Juuust when the moment was right... Mr. Poofers stole his beard!

''{Mr. Poofers takes Rootbeer's beard and runs off. Rootbeer jumps up, his entire face now covered in the remnants of his beard, and shakes his fist.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' What a prize!

''{Cut to Mr. Poofers happily hugging the beard. A "ding" sound effect plays as the beard shines.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' An old man's beard, no less!

''{Cut to Homestar, standing next to a table with a candle on it, as silhouettes of the other characters look on. White noise plays for a few seconds as he looks around. Cut to a shot of the other main characters.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ummmm... what did I just listen to?

''{Cut back to Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, sorry. "The end."

''{Cut to Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Is ''that'' what you dragged us all here for?! 

''{Cut to Strong Sad.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Wasn't Mr. Poofers supposed to die?

''{Cut to Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Aw, man! Did it happen again?! Every time I try and tell a spooky Mr. Poofers story{{--}}

''{Cut to Marzipan.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Which has now been exactly one time.

''{Cut to Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' {{--}}he always survives! I thought, if I could finally kill him off, it would definitely become a top-notch four-and-a-half-stars-with-over-six-hundred-reviews-quality ghost story.

''{Cut to Bubs.}''

'''BUBS:''' But it didn't even sound like you tried to off Mr. Poofers in the first place.

''{Cut to Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, but I did. Watch this: I'm about to say "Then Mr. Poofers' head fell off and he died, died, died." Ahem.

''{Cut to Mr. Poofers walking down the street.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' Mr. Poofers was thinking about a branch, ''{a thought bubble with a branch appears over his head}'' a hotel, ''{the bubble expands an a hotel labeled "OH SWELL" is added}'' and a $350 pair of loafers.

''{The bubble expands and a pair of brown shoes marked "350" is added. Then it disappears and Mr. Poofers spins, looking like a tornado.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' Gee whiz! That's a lot of Kansas mash right there!

''{Mr. Poofers strikes a triumphant pose. The image poofs away and cuts back to Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' See? It's like somethin' takes a hold of ya when you're telling a Mr. Poofers story!

''{Cut to Coach Z.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Eh, what a bunch of balarney. Ain't nobaddy can get fatally irresponsible with an animal like Coach Z! Let me take a whack at it. And I'll try and finish your story too!

''{Cut to Mr. Poofers and Old Man Rootbeer standing next to each other near a wall.}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{voiceover}'' Look, gentlemen! A roundish box!

''{A roundish box drops into the scene as both characters take a step back.}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{voiceover}'' Mr. Poofers ''{the "oo" is pronounced as in the word "hook"}'' pretended there was such thing as a roundish box.

''{Mr. Poofers pushes it toward Rootbeer.}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{voiceover}'' He gave it to Old M'n Rootber, ''{The "oo" is again pronounced as in "hook". Rootbeer scratches his head}'' who absolutely had not asked for it. ''{as Rootbeer:}'' This better be replacement pimecones! ''{normally}'' Belted Old M'n Rootber.

''{Rootbeer reaches into the box and produces a broken half of a brush with brown hairs stuck to it as an electric sound effect is heard. He looks at it, puzzled.}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{voiceover}'' It was half a hairbrush. ''{pronounces the L in "half"}''

''{Rootbeer turns the brush over. The scene poofs away as we cut back to Coach Z, whose face is covered in sweat.}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{freaked out}'' Ooooohhhh! That wasn't me! That wasn't me! I tried to kill 'im! I swear!

''{Cut to Marzipan}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh, shut up, Coach Z, you infant. I'll kill the stupid dog.

''{Cut to Mr. Poofers sitting on a tiled floor.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{voiceover}'' "Miffa meeka" ''{Mr. Poofers's mouth opens wide as those words exit through it.}'' said Mr. Poofers, out of his entire mouth. Mr. Poofers never complains, except once{{--}}

''{Scene shifts to Mr. Poofers looking at a table as a bowl of pudding, with a hair sticking out of it, slides in front of him.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{voiceover}'' {{--}}in a cafeteria, with bad, bad pudding.

''{Mr. Poofers knocks it away angrily.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{voiceover}'' I mean, have you ever{{--}}?

''{The scene poofs away and cuts back to Marzipan, whose face is also covered in sweat.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{distraught}'' I was wrong! I was so wrong!

''{Pan over to Strong Sad.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oooh, this is getting supernaturally interesting! All right, Poofers, it's time for you to face... the Deathly Pallor! ''{closes his eyes, tenses up, and starts wiggling his fingers}'' I invoke protections from the third arcane level and send my mind into the psychic vault! You shall not break through! ''{opens his eyes and holds his arms wide}''

''{Cut to Mr. Poofers}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Pimecone.

''{A pine cone appears. The scene then poofs away and cuts back to Strong Sad, whose face is also covered in sweat, and whose fingers are still twitching.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{panicking}'' Oooohhh! Oohhh! Lemme out! It was horrible! ''{The Poopsmith puts his hand on Strong Sad's shoulder.}'' It was like Homestar's imagination was gushing out of my mouth like fire!

''{Homestar leans into the scene}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{chuckling}'' I know, right?

''{Cut to Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, fine. We all knew it was coming down to this anyway. I will merc Mr. Poofers for you sad sacks! ''{mutters to himself:}'' All right, concentrate, Strong Bad. Keep your mind strong! ''{lifts his head}'' Bad! See what I did{{--}}

'''EVERYONE ELSE:''' Yes!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, sorry.

''{Cut to an image of Mr. Poofers on a path, with Old Man Rootbeer standing in the distance.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' It was nearly sunset.

''{Mr. Poofers suddenly puffs out, then slowly returns to normal.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Old Man Rootbeer stood at the end of the ave{{--}}

''{Zoom in on Rootbeer, and a flamethrower appears behind him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' {{--}}flamethrower slung 'cross his back. ''{as Rootbeer:}'' You 'et one pimecone too many, Mr. Poofers! ''{normally}'' Harkened Old M. R... Beer. 

''{Rootbeer grabs the flamethrower and aims it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' He took dead aim on Mr. ... ''{he shows signs of starting to struggle to speak}'' Poofers...

''{Strong Bad appears in the corner of the screen, his face covered in sweat.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Dead aim, you see! And then...

''{Cut to Rootbeer holding the flamethrower, whose tip comes aflame.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' ...he... pulled... the tr{{--}} trrrri{{--}} trrrrrrrrrrr{{--}}

''{Sudden cut to a trolley labeled "O.M.R.B." with "POOFERS AVE." marked as its destination. Rootbeer is riding the trolley, smiling widely.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover, singing}'' Trolley 'round the block and then he gave it a ding!

''{The trolley's bell rings: Ding! Cut to another view of the trolley, with Mr. Poofers now riding it too.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover, singing}'' Mr. Poofers hopped aboard and they began to sing! How could we ever, how come we never{{--}}

''{Cut back to the main characters. As they sing, the words appear above them.}''

'''EVERYONE:''' ''{singing}'' Why can't we slice that pie?

''{Strong Bad collapses. Everyone else huffs in fatigue.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Awwwww! It's no use! Mr. Poofers is too powerful!

''{Cut to Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, I guess we'll just have to start worshiping Mr. Poofers as our dark overlord.

''{All overlapping each other:}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Eh, sounds good to me.<br />
'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Yeah, sure.<br />
'''MARZIPAN:''' I'll try anything once.<br />
'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{unintelligible}''<br />
'''BUBS:''' ''{unintelligible}''<br />
'''COACH Z:''' No other choice.<br />
'''STRONG SAD:''' You know I'm down.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All hail Mr. Poofers.

'''EVERYONE:''' Miffa miffa meeka moo!

''{As the music picks up, cut to outside Marzipan's house, as a ghostly image of Mr. Poofers rises over it. Then cut to a Bookazon page for "Mr. Poofers Must Die: Homestar's Top-Notch Ghost Story", which starts with no stars and -4 customer reviews, but raises to four and a half stars and 601 reviews. Then, fade to The Field, where everyone is standing in costume. "Homestar as Dirk the Daring" appears next to Homestar.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Homestar, nice Dork the Daring costume!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, that's who I dressed up as. Dirk ''{sounds like "dork" due to Homestar's speech patterns}'' the Daring.

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, no, I said ''Dork'' the Daring!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Right, right, Diiiiirk the Daring!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{groans, then quickly:}'' Hey Homestar, Duck left!

''{The caption disappears as a yellow light flashes on the left side of the screen and Homestar dodges to the left.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, right!

''{A yellow light flashes on the right side of the screen and Homestar dodges right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, sword!

''{A yellow sword blinks to Homestar's right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, left sword!

''{A yellow sword blinks to Homestar's left. Then, sad music from Dragon's Lair plays as Homestar turns into a skeleton.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aw, man! 

''{Homestar's skeleton collapses.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Mooooom! Can I have 75 more dollars in quarters?

''{Homestar returns to normal with a flash. A box reading "Strong Bad as Viewtiful Joe" appears.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Henshin-a-go-go, baby! That's... all that I remember from that game. Cool shading, maybe? Slow-mo? ''{His scarf starts to move.}'' Scarf... effects?

''{The box disappears but reappears near Marzipan reading "Marzipan as J. Mascis".}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, Marzipan. I really like your thrift store Gandalf costume.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Hey, Marzipan! Where you been?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, nobody gets that!

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{clearly amused}'' Hey, Marzipan! You're living all over me! Mm-hm?

'''STRONG BAD:''' No one gets it!

'''STRONG SAD:''' That's okay! Whatever's cool with me!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah, I get the joke, Strong Sad, and it's still really lame.

''{The box disappears and reappears next to The Cheat, reading "The Cheat as a Korok". He jumps and throws leaves as wood block sound effects play.}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises imitating Koroks}''

''{The box disappears and reappears next to Strong Sad, reading "Strong Sad as Tummi Gummi".}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, Strong Sad! I really tend to like your Bill Murray from cartoon Ghostbusters from the voice of Garfield: The Movie dot com costume! Never before has one voice so embodied ''{half-closes his eyes with orange eyelids, resembling Garfield}'' half-closed eyelids.

''{The box disappears and reappears next to Strong Mad, reading "Strong Mad as Kano".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{accusatory tone}'' Strong Mad?

'''STRONG MAD:''' FUNNY JOKE?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Buddy?

'''STRONG MAD:''' FUNNY JOKE ABOUT MY COSTUME?

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, big fella. There are no jokes about your costume. Because no one knows who it is.

''{A question mark appears in the box, making it "Strong Mad as Kano?"}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' BUT JUDGE DREDD!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, but you didn't dress up as Judge Dredd, did you?

'''STRONG MAD:''' ... BUT PROXIMITY TO JUDGE DREDD!

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm sorry. It's not enough. You're just blue Frankenstein. Better luck next year.

''{Strong Mad cries. The box disappears.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, Coach Z?

''{The box appears near Coach Z and Pom Pom, reading "Coach Z & Pom Pom as Missy Elliot".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Do I even wanna know how you and Pom Pom are pulling this costume off?

'''COACH Z:''' I can assure you: you do not.

''{Pom Pom's head pops out.}''

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubbles}''

'''COACH Z:''' Get back in there!

''{One of the costume's hands pushes Pom Pom's head back in. The box disappears and reappears next to The Poopsmith, reading "Poopsmith as a Sea Monkey".}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Y'all think that's the Poopsmith...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{whispering}'' This is gonna be about food.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' But in reality...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' It's gonna be about food.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' I finally bred sea monkeys large enough to make sea monkey po'boys!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yup, I told ya: about food.

''{Cut to Homsar standing on Homestar's porch.}''

'''HOMSAR:''' IIiiIIiiII've got hyperlinks stashed-a-mundo!

''{The box appears reading "Homsar as David St. Hubbins". Homestar pokes out of the door.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, Homsar! I really like your "Doug Henning made his own mustache disappear" costume! ''{Goes back inside, but then immediately pops out again}'' It's really good! ''{Goes back inside, waits a moment, and then pops out again}'' It’s a really good costume!

''{He goes back inside one final time as the scene cuts back to The Field. The box appears next to the King of Town, reading "King of Town as Little Debbie".}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' King of Town? Spot-on Little Debbie costume! Bubs? Serviceable Little Debbie's Dad costume.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' I always figured Little Debbie was the snack child of Lord Baldrick Entenmann and Dame Sara Lee!

''{The box disappears and reappears next to Bubs, reading "Bubs as Stan S. Stanman".}''

'''COACH Z:''' Say, Bubs. Can ya sell me any previously-owned vessels?

'''BUBS:''' ''{flailing his arms wildly}'' Check it out check it out check it out check it out check it out check it out check it out check it out check it out check it out!

[[File:Fake Autoplay - Arbor Day Special.png|thumb|Even better than the Secretary Appreciation Day special!]]
''{The scene cuts to a fake "Up Next" screen for "The Cheat Commandos Arbor Day Special", showing the Homestar puppet with a single cyclops eye in place of its usual eyes, and figurines of Reynold, Gunhaver, and Silent Rip in its mouth. After a few seconds, cut to a Yonder Website scene. Character 1 walks along and finds a familiar-looking giant ball of fluff.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover, in a soothing voice}'' Say, what's that, Character 1? Why, it looks like someone's left out the cushion from a papasan chair, that's right. 

''{Character 1 leans on the fluff.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Real comfortable. Take a nap.

''{Mr. Poofers's eyes and tongue appear in the "fluff". Character 1 jumps back.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Say, that's no cushion! 

''{Mr. Poofers stands up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Why, it's some sort of beast of the apocalypse! 

''{Mr. Poofers yawns.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Say, Beast of the Apocalypse!

''{Mr. Poofers opens his eyes upon being addressed.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' You look like you might need to be a little bit appeased.

''{Mr. Poofers puffs his fur out.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Is that right? Well, you know what that means, Character 1!

''{An orange falls from the sky in front of Character 1.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' A little bit of sacrificial fruit, that's right.

''{Character 1 catches the orange as Mr. Poofers turns around and opens his mouth. Character 1 throws the orange into his mouth.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Make an offering. Avert the apocalypse. Far out.
