Given that Halloween is one of the main holidays celebrated in the Homestar Runner Universe, it's no surprise that pumpkins have been featured quite prominently, both in the Halloween toons, and in other small features related to halloween, most prominently the annually updated Punkin Stencils. They have been carved, gnawed, and even been the trigger for Easter Eggs. In addition, two popular mispronunciations for the word have come to exist.
