Transcript
{The toon opens on the set of The Show, with a title card reading The Show: Fanstumes Edition.}
ANNOUNCER: Welcome back to The Show: Fanstumes Edition! {drumroll} And here is your host...
{Title card withdraws to reveal Strong Bad dancing in place on a pedestal.}
ANNOUNCER: {quickly, quietly} Strongb'd.
{The Show theme music plays.}
STRONG BAD: Thank you, Don Ronny, Ron Donny. Ronny Ronny, Ronny Monny. Let's get right to our first costume!
{Cut to a closed window. The window opens to show a fan dressed as Senor Cardgage holding a smartphone disguised as an air freshener.}
STRONG BAD: I like that Senor Cardgage provides a nice costume option for the physique-ularly enchanced.
{A label pops up reading "physiqularly enchanced"}
STRONG BAD: Uh... endured? {label changes to read "endured?"} Er... engulfed! {label changes to read "engulfed!" with a splat} Yeah. Yeah, this guy's definitely been engulfed.
{Next slide depicts a fan dressed as the living version of the cow lamp from the Decemberweenvent Calendar.}
STRONG BAD: Waah! That horrifying illustration of Homestar's cow lamp {the horrifying illustration appears on the side for comparison} from that awful sheet music Decemberweenvent calendar?
{The next slide depicts a frightened woman in a hula hoop with fangs.}
COW LAMP: You are not going out trick-or-treating dressed like that fangoriously devoured {the drawing of Hillary from for kids being devoured by a monster appears for comparison} young lady, you hear?
{The next costume shows a baseball player in a green uniform with a squirrel for a hand. The page turns to show Gregor, also from for kids.}
COW LAMP: And you leave those squirrel hands to yourself, young slugger!
{The next slide shows a fan dressed as Coach Z.}
STRONG BAD: Look, I don't wanna in any way encourage more of these skintight green job Coach Z costumes. But pulling one on over your pants? Just makes everything {disgusted} lumpy-worse. For the universe.
{Next slide shows a much younger fan in a Coach Z costume with a paper mask.}
ANNOUNCER 2: This homemade version of Coach Z will receive {a board game box appears} the home version of Coach Z.
COACH Z: I'm-a come to your home! Please let me come to your home!
{Scene interrupts. A card featuring The Cheat in front of an unplugged outlet reads "Hang in There: Technical Difficulties".}
{Next slide shows someone dressed in all black underneath a cardboard cutout of Trogdor. Romantic music plays.}
STRONG BAD: On a rooftop in Paris, world-famous Trog-mime {name card appears} Chimeaux Bardeaux {pronounces as Chim-ooks Bar-dooks} does his performance art piece entitled: The S is for Spandex.
ANNOUNCER: That's right, and the next contestant to dress up like Trogdor will win {The Show theme plays} a trip to Paris!
{The next slide shows a fan wearing a paper version of Trogdor. Record scratches.}
ANNOUNCER: Never mind! Never mind at all! Never mind all the time go away please forever!
{The next slide shows a costume of Homestar dressed as Strong Bad from halloweener.}
STRONG BAD: And the award for best use of maybe one of those kinda see-through floormats you put under your desk for your office chair to roll on to simulate blurred-out nudity {image from halloweener appears for comparison} goes to... {ribbon appears with a lot of text on it} this one!
{The next slide shows a fan dressed as the Fort Wayne Locomotive. The image is monochrome and has film artifacts overlaid.}
STRONG BAD: This might be the first and hopefully only Fort Wayne Locomotive costume. Ah, from the days when a helmet could be defined as a floppy leather bowl stuck on your head.
{The Fort Wayne Locomotive appears.}
FORT WAYNE LOCOMOTIVE: Hey-hey. They used to call me the floppy leather bowl! But it wasn't because a' anything pigskin-related! Woooohhh! Ohh! Ooooohhh!
{The Fort Wayne Locomotive charges into the screen, away from the viewer.}
{The next slide shows two fans: one dressed as Gunhaver is pointing an orange toy gun at a fan dressed as the Blue Laser Commander in a menacing pose.}
STRONG BAD: These are fine Blue Laser Commander and Gunhaver costumes. I can't get over how accurate the smarm is on this guy!
{Another image of the fan dressed as Gunhaver holding the toy gun is displayed, showing him from the front.}
STRONG BAD: Look at that smarm! {wavy lines float off his head} Smarmin' right off him in droves, it smarms!
CRACK STUNTMAN: Blaah, Crack Stuntman here! To tell you about my new non-non-profit, {label appears showing Crack Stuntman's head as a barn} Smarms for Farms.
{The next slide shows a fan dressed as Strong Bad cuddling a cat on the floor.}
ANNOUNCER 2: Today's contestants will receive {a sticker appears} Stranglecat Strong Bad. {another sticker appears} Banned in 17 countries, Stranglecat Strong Bad creates hours of harrowing play for your furry friend.
{The window closes.}
ANNOUNCER: And now everyone's favorite part, where Strong Bad makes up—
{The slide opens to reveal a fan in a Strong Bad costume.}
ANNOUNCER: —a dumb little song!
{The mouth on the costume animates.}
STRONG BAD: {singing} My mouth has been so loooow... since my baby left. And my head is all squished and withered! I call it "squithered". 'Cause you know I gotta portmanteau! Because my mouth is so low... That's right, my mouth is so... {sings a high note as the mouth appears on the top of the mask} loooow!
{Window closes. Cut to Strong Bad still dancing on the pedestal.}
ANNOUNCER: All right, Strong Bad. It's time for the final round!
STRONG BAD: Okay, I'll take...
{Cut to a blue screen.}
STRONG BAD: Costumes that are so obscure you probably don't remember them. {screen shows $800} For 800 please.
{The next slide shows a fan dressed in a stovepipe hat and sash looking at a toppled penguin statue.}
STRONG BAD: Hmm... "mayo"... penguin... Oh! {Jeopardy time-out chime plays} I know this one! In the first episode of the Strong Bad Cool Game for Attractive People, {Teen Girl Squad music plays as the relevant panel is displayed} there was a Teen Girl Squad minigame! {The Ugly One appears with a chocolate bar} If you gave The Ugly One a chocolate bar at the right time, it did this!
{A talk balloon appears on the slide}
MAYOR: What will our fair city do without this brave robotic duck?
PENGUIN: Penguin.
MAYOR: No, you kiddin' me? A penguin, huh? All this time...
{Strong Bad laughs heartily.}
STRONG BAD: That's the best joke I ever made. That I had completely forgotten about until just now.
{Cut back to the title card.}
ANNOUNCER: That's it for tonight, folks. We'll see you all next Fanstumesdate!
{The title card withdraws to show a fan dressed as Homestar dressed as Strong Sad from impression.}
ANNOUNCER 2: Promotional consideration by: Some Animal Died Charities.
{The next picture shows three fans dressed as Coach Z, Homestar and Bubs respectively, standing outdoors.}'
ANNOUNCER 2: And these costumes we couldn't come up with anything funny to say about. Except for maybe this kid's feet.
{Close up on Homestar's feet. They appear to be black sandals without socks.}
ANNOUNCER 2: What is going on here?
{Text appears.}
ANNOUNCER 2: Also, we didn't get to do a Homsar quote based on the weird stuff in the back of people's photographs—
{A photo appears showing fans dressed as D'n'D Greg and The King of Town sitting at a table.}
ANNOUNCER 2: —so how about this one? {as Homsar} AaAaAaAah! {close up on the King of Town's dinner plate} I get to re-roll my chicken cutlet! That's pretty good, huh?
{Fade out. End.}
