Editing What are you supposed to be?

[[File:Coach Z as ???.png|thumb|"Can't you guys tell? I'm the rapping paper!"]]
During [[Halloween]], the [[Characters#Main characters|characters]] dress up in [[Halloween Costumes|costumes]], in which they often engage in Halloween-related activities. Many of these costumes are esoteric icons or celebrities, most of which were popular/created in the 1970s, '80s, and '90s, leaving most of the other characters unable to identify '''who a particular character is supposed to be dressed as'''.

This is put quite frankly by [[The King of Town]] in [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]], in which he says, "I wish you'd dress up as something I could recognize! Pop culture... mumble grumble!"

== Occurrences ==

===[[Halloween Hijinks]]===
* Homestar, while singing the main theme to ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'', compares Bubs's costume (of an actual ''Zelda'' character, [[wikipedia:Characters of The Legend of Zelda#Beedle|Beedle]]), to "'70s Bubs giving a piggyback ride to [[wikipedia:Totoro|Totoro]] eating a purple burrito".
* In rapid fire, Homestar compares four characters' costumes to puppets made by [[The Muppets|Jim Henson]]:
** Strong Mad (as [[wikipedia:My Pet Monster|My Pet Monster]]) is "probably from ''[[wikipedia:Labyrinth (1986 film)|Labyrinth]]''".
** Pom Pom (as [[wikipedia:List of recurring The Simpsons characters#Capital City Goofball|The Capital City Goofball]]) is "probably from ''[[wikipedia:The Great Muppet Caper|Great Muppet Caper]]''".
** Strong Sad (as [[wikipedia:The Great Space Coaster|Baxter]]) is "probably from ''[[wikipedia:Sesame Street|Sesame Street]]''" (although much of ''The Great Space Coaster'''s crew is associated with Henson projects).
** The Poopsmith (as [[wikipedia:Space Quest|1 Guy from Andromeda]]) is "probably from ''[[wikipedia:Pigs in Space|Pigs in Space]]''".
* Homestar furthermore thinks that Marzipan's [[wikipedia:Captain Planet|Captain Planet]] costume is "zombie [[David Bowie|Ziggy Stardust]]", and Strong Bad wonders aloud why she seems to have a drive-thru speaker in her chest (referring to Captain Planet's globe insignia.) The "speaker" then speaks in [[Drive-Thru Whale|a grainy voice]].
* Strong Bad imitates Homestar in comparing Homsar's [[wikipedia:The Black Hole (1979 film)|B.O.B.]] costume to [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/BB-8 BB-8] after having been run over by a [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Sandcrawler Sandcrawler]. Homestar says that he was thinking of "[[wikipedia:Oscar the Grouch|Oscar the Grouch]] 2000".

===[[Halloween Hide & Seek]]===

* In the paid version, Homestar can make his guesses for who he thinks everyone's cosutme is from silhouette alone. 
* Every single main character who is able to speak normally, except the King of Town himself, declares that the King (dressed as {{w|Quest for Glory: So You Want to Be a Hero|The Antwerp}}) is "a no-armed space {{w|Grimace (character)|Grimace}}".
* Homestar asks if Marzipan is dressed as "that neon sign from Las Vegas". Marzipan, who is actually dressed as Trixie from ''[[Sam & Max]] {{w|Sam & Max Hit the Road|Hit the Road}}'', says that she is dressed as "whatever Strong Sad told me to dress up as", implying that once again she's unfamiliar with her own costume. Homestar then extends his guess to "a neon sign from Las Vegas for a depressing 70's casino that is somehow still operating. Prolly called the Silver Panache."
* Homestar believes that Strong Bad, dressed as {{w|Space Quest II|Sludge Vohaul}}, is "Grandmaw Strong Bane in her recliner, hooked up to her oxygen so she can play Boggle with her pal Eula Mae."
* Homestar thinks that Pom Pom (dressed as {{w|The Manhole}}) is dressed as "copy protection".
* He also compares Homsar, dressed as a gnome from ''{{w|Samorost}}'', to a "droopy {{w|Pikmin}}".
* Homestar further believes that Strong Mad ({{w|Grim Fandango|Glottis}}) is dressed as "a Goron dressed up as {{w|Speed Racer}}".
* Strong Bad guesses that Bubs ({{w|Day of the Tentacle|Hoagie}}) is dressed as "that [[Limozeen]] roadie who has to string Gary's 4-and-a half necked guitar before each show".
* Homestar accuses Coach Z of double-dipping his {{w|Queen Latifah}} costume from [[Happy Hallow-Day]]. Coach Z is dressed as {{w|The Legend of Kyrandia: Malcolm's Revenge|Malcolm}}.
* Homestar believes that Strong Sad's {{w|Dark Seed (video game)|Mike Dawson}} costume is actually {{w|Jeff Foxworthy}}.
* And although he was unable to recognize a ''{{w|Gummi Bears}}'' costume in [[Mr. Poofers Must Die]], if the Goblin is unlocked, Homestar compares its {{w|The Black Cauldron (video game)|Creeper}} costume with Toadwort.

===[[2022 Costume Pack Now Available]]===
*Much to his dismay, Homestar's description of The Poopsmith's costume as "{{w|Tron: Legacy|evil Tron}}" was completely accurate.

===[[The Show: Ween Edition]]===
* The entire toon is about the characters guessing how Homestar will misinterpret their costumes. More specifically:
** Coach Z, dressed as {{w|Beastie Boys|a Beastie Boy from the Intergalactic video}}, believes Homestar will mistake his costume for a {{w|Devo}} crossing guard. Homestar actually mistakes it for a Devo ''construction worker''.
** The King of Town, dressed as {{w|Mad Max: Fury Road|Immortan Joe}}, believes Homestar will mistake his costume for what the King looks like in the morning before removing his CPAP machine. His guess is way off: Homestar actually mistakes it for {{w|Mötley Crüe}} in the ICÜ.
** Bubs, dressed as {{w|Cloak & Dagger (1984 film)|Jack Flack}}, believes Homestar will mistake him for a [[French]] {{w|G.I. Joe}} character apparently named "Jaunty Plumarenne". He is then asked, for whatever reason, to guess a dollar amount and guesses $17.50, which is, indeed, Homestar's guess.
** Marzipan believes her {{w|Pee-Wee's Playhouse|Penny}} costume will be mistaken for {{w|Abraham Lincoln|Abe Lincoln's}} {{w|Claymation}} daughter, but Homestar just holds up a card reading "WE NEED BREAD! STILL!"
** Pom Pom believes his {{w|ShowBiz Pizza Place|Billy Bob Brockali}} costume will be mistaken for a Stripèd Bear Jankboree and is correct.
** The Cheat believes his {{w|E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial|E.T. Dressed up by Gertie}} costume will be mistaken for that shriveled grandma [[The Muppets|Muppet]] from ''{{w|Dark Crystal}}'' (referring to Aughra) and is correct.
** Strong Bad believes his {{w|E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial|Elliot's brother Mike's Halloween costume}} costume will be mistaken for hobo ''{{w|Clockwork Orange}}'' and is correct.
** Strong Mad believes that his {{w|The Neverending Story|Rockbiter}} costume will be mistaken for an ashy pile of dog crap and is correct.
** Strong Sad believes his {{w|E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial|Elliot's Halloween costume}} costume will be mistaken for Strong Sad on a Tuesday. Homestar actually writes "TUBESDATE" instead of "Tuesday", but this is considered correct.
** Homestar declares that his own costume (actually {{w|The Dover Boys at Pimento University|Tom Dover}}) is a mashup of Fred from ''{{w|Super Chicken}}'' and Fred from ''{{w|Scooby-Doo}}''.
