{{transcriptinprogress|SRMX12}}

''{As usual, the toon starts in the basement of the Brothers Strong; the light dims and the projector screen comes down. The first image displayed is a person in a fancy shirt and a face mask, wearing a "Hello my name is STINY" name tag and holding a plastic pastry box.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{as Strong Badman}'' Stiny! I said get me a ''danish''! That is clearly a coffee cake! Also, watch out for Portrait-of-a-Catman! ''{As he says this name, a Strong Badman comic book appears, captioned, "Oh my! It's PORTRAIT-OF-A-CATMAN!!"}''

'''PORTRAIT-OF-A-CATMAN:''' Meow peow! ''{These words are added to the comic book cover.}''

''{The next image appears. It shows someone posing dressed as Strong Bad wearing an Ab-Abber T-shirt, and a woman in a brown jacket, a hat, sunglasses, boots, and a The Cheat-patterned skirt, making a finger-gun.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Is that Ab-Abber Strong Bad with limited-edition Gunhavette? ''{During the next sentence, a Cheat Commandos action figure package appears of Gunhavette: Gunhaver with brown hair added, with the words "Takes No Guff!" under the name.}'' Oh man, she was only available by mail order until she got recalled, because Cheap As Free Toys mistakenly printed, ''{the following words appear as a sticker on the package}'' "Ob'm know. Maybe eat it, kids." on the package. An honest mistake.

''{The next image appears. It's a boy dressed in the Bubs costume from [[Costume Commercial]], with a mask, a "BUBS!" apron, and a brown paper bag with <u>CANDY!</u> written on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Not a Bubs costume, but a Bubs ''costume'' costume. You gotta love those second-and-third generation ideas.

''{The next image appears. It's a man dressed as Homestar Runner dressed as Strong Sad, with a gray star shirt, a sock taped to his head, hippo slippers, and a downcast expression.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Like this one: a perfect Homestar's-impression-of-Strong-Sad costume.

''{The real Homestar dressed as Strong Sad appears beside the photo.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{doing his Strong Sad impression}'' Oh... my idea for a Halloween costume that anyone would recognize died. So I dressed up like this.

''{The next image appears. It's a person wearing a white shirt, with a paper plate over his face with a question mark written on it and eyeholes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Um... uh... hang on. ''{the sound of typing is heard; Strong Bad mutters to himself}'' Question mark face... maybe Strong Sad? ''{He hits enter, and a clip of a Homestar Runner Wiki-esque Anonymous Contributor article is shown.}''  ''What?''  Anonymous Contributor? Look, when ''I'' have to look your costume up on the Homestar Wiki, it's probably a little ''too'' obscure.

''{The next image appears. It's a woman and man in costumes that vaguely resemble Marzipan and Homestar respectively, holding a child between them who appears to be dressed as a veggie burger.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{as if speaking on a telephone}'' Hello, yes, this is... Clarence... Childprotectionson. Uh, I&mdash;I've got a pair of parents here who dressed their kid up as a Homestar Jr. Uh, they appear to be at some kind of square dance, or maybe a Cracker Barrel. ''???'' out in a hurry. The mother is armed and Marzipan'd. I repeat: the mother is armed and Marzipan'd.
