Transcript

{We open on Homestar against the night sky, stars and the moon visible in the background. Ominous music plays.}

HOMESTAR: Each Halloween, severals of people become mildly annoyed, when Homestar Runner misinterprets their costume.

{Record scratch, ominous music stops.}

HOMESTAR: So I made a game show out of it!

{Zoom out to see Homestar standing on an orange floor, the night sky lifts up to reveal The Show background. The Show's theme music plays.}

HOMESTAR: {to the tune of the The Show theme} Boo doo-doo! Boo-doo doo!

NARRATOR: {voice-over} That's right, paunchy America! It's time to play...

{The show's title appears on screen in time with the crowd.}

CROWD: {voice-over} Name! Slash! Guess! That! Homestar! Runner! Hallo! Ween! Costume! Misin! Terpre! Tation!

NARRATOR: {voice-over} And here's the star of Name/Guess That {mumbles} thing and the stuff: Homestar Runner!

{The show's title falls off-screen, and Homestar walks onstage in costume.}

HOMESTAR: Thanks so much, Ron Johnny! It's a pleasure and enjoy-joy to be doing this again for the first year in a row.

NARRATOR: {voice-over} Let's get you locked in the isolation booth, dum-dum.

{Homestar enters a small cylindrical chamber and shuts the door.}

NARRATOR: {voice-over} and bring our our first contestant: Coach Z!

{Cut to a window panel, which opens to reveal Coach Z dancing on a pedestal in costume.}

NARRATOR: {voice-over} OK now, Coach Z, the rules are simple. Just tell us what you think Homestar Runner's misinterpretation of your costume will be.

{Coach Z nods, and a lower third pops up reading "Coach Z as a Beastie Boy from the Intergalactic video".}

COACH Z: Well, I think there's a lot of good options, but I gotta go with, "Hey, Coach Z, I really like your Devo crossing guard costume!" He was always telling me to go froward, move ahead!

NARRATOR: {voice-over} A solid guess!

{A pop-up appears of a cinderblock, with a wig and googly eyes, and the text "Solid Guess!"}

NARRATOR: {voice-over} Let's go to the iso booth and see what Homestar chose.

{Cut back to the isolation booth. Homestar turns around to look at Coach Z. Drumroll.}

HOMESTAR: Hey, Coach Z, I really like your Devo construction worker costume!

{Homestar holds up a card reading "Devo construction worker". Sad gameshow music plays.}

NARRATOR: {voice-over} Oooh, so close, Coach Z, but I'm afraid we can't accept it.

COACH Z: {sadly} Ohh...

NARRATOR: {voice-over} Thanks for playing!

{Cut to a shot of a bottle of water, surrounded by a strip of lights. The bottle is labelled "Smarty Water" and has two green smudges on it.}

ANNOUNCER: {voice-over} Coach Z will receive: that bottle of water that's over there. It has some green stuff on it, but it might be on the outside of the bottle, I'm not sure. That bottle of water, that's over there.

{Cut back to the stage, and Homestar's booth.}

NARRATOR: {voice-over} Continuing on, Homestar, how you feeling in there?

{Homestar jiggles, making the sound of shaking an empty soda cup with ice in the bottom.}

HOMESTAR: Rumpled on the inside!

NARRATOR: {voice-over} Let's ignore that, and meet our next contestant: The King of Town!

{Cut to another section of the stage, with a trapdoor in the floor, which opens, and the King of Town appears up through it, in costume.}

NARRATOR: {voice-over} Alright King, let's hear your guess.

{A lower third reads "King of Town as Immortan Joe".}

KING OF TOWN: "Hey, King, I really like your what-you-look-like-when-you-first-wake-up-still-wearing-your-CPAP-machine costume!"

NARRATOR: {voice-over} A real zinger! I could see that one!

{A pop-up appears of a pair of glasses, with a wig and cartoon eyes and mouth, with the text "I could see that one!"}

NARRATOR: {voice-over} Homestar?

HOMESTAR: Hey, King of Town, I really cotton to your Mötley Crüe in the ICÜ costume.

{Homestar holds up a card reading "Mötley Crüe in the ICÜ". A buzzer sounds.}

NARRATOR: {voice-over} Ooh, way off with that one, KOT. Back in the pit.

{The trapdoor opens, and the King of Town falls back below the stage. Cut to a set of three doors, with a sign reading "Doors 3". Three doors are labelled "1rd", "2ce" and "3th". Zoom in to the "2ce" door.}

NARRATOR: {voice-over} And now, behind door number twice, it's Bubs!

{The door opens, revealing Bubs, in costume.}

NARRATOR: {voice-over} Time for you to guess Homestar's misinterpretation of your costume, without going over.

{The lower third reads "Bubs as Jack Flack".}

BUBS: Let's see... I think he'd say, "Say, Bubs, say, Bubs, I really like your French GI-Joe costume! What was that character's name again? Jaunty Plumarenne? He came with a baguette bazooka!"

{A Cheap As Free Toys action figure is shown based on Bubs's costume, named as "Jaunty Plumarenne", with other labels reading "Action-like figurine", "Baguette Bazooka" and "Bulletproof Beret".}

NARRATOR: {voice-over} I'm sorry, we're going to need your answer in the form of a dollar amount.

BUBS: Uh.... seventeen-fifty?

NARRATOR: {voice-over} Homestar, let's see it!

{Cut back to Homestar, who is thinking hard and writing on his card. He turns the card around to show "$17.50". A bell rings.}

NARRATOR: {voice-over} That's correct!

HOMESTAR: Hooray!

{Homestar tears up the card and throws it as confetti.}
