MARSHIE: Awwww......SNAP! I'm Marshie again! You better believe it's new Fluffy Puff Malloween orange and black flavored marshmallows! "They Taste the Same, but Loo—" {hacks and coughs} Sorry. Must've got a toenail caught in m'throat. "They Taste the Same, But Look Different!"
{setting changes to in front of Mr. Shmallow's grave}
MARSHIE: {pops out of the grave} Boogidy-boogidy! I'll scare your dad!
{setting changes to the inside of the Halloween House}
MARSHIE: Those little punks next door won't know what hit 'em when you serve up a satchel full of Malloween Fluffy Puffs!
THE SAD BOY: What?
THE SAD GIRL: Weird.
MARSHIE: s'right, you two. Kids, demand Fluffy Puffs for tricks and treats!
{Marshie appears on a porch in front of a house. Homestar Runner opens the door, wearing a large fake eyeball and an orange shirt reading "This is my Costume!" The words "A Dramatastration" flash at the bottom of the screen.}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Oh, hello, little boy or little girl. Would you care for a funtime treat? {Homestar holds up a white nondescript can marked "CAN D"}
MARSHIE: No way! {Echoes} {Marshie shoots Fluffy Puffs out from his "bite mark," pelting Homestar in the face. The marshmallows start filling up the screen.}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: A tidal wave of marshalades!
MARSHIE: I'm so goosed up, I'm swimming in 'em! {Marshie flies about in a large pile of Fluffy Puffs in the background} Tell Monte Negro ...
MONTE NEGRO: Oh yes?
MARSHIE: ...They fit on top of each other! Stack 'em to the heavens! {another Marshie appears on top of the other} Stack 'em to the heavens! {both} I could write a song called "Stack 'Em to the Heavens!"
{Cut to a dressing room, where Marshie's vampire wig sits on a mannequin and a camera appears to be rolling. Marshie is not wearing his vampire costume, but looking into a mirror.}
MARSHIE: {screaming} What more do they want!?
{back to normal scene, with Marshie in his vampire costume}
MARSHIE: Come on guys, isn't that enough to get you to try Fluffy Puff Malloweens?
{Marshie sings}
MARSHIE: {cut to a television view of the commercial} They're orange, doo doo. They're black, dee dee. Look for the one with me on the bag...dressed as a vampire!
{cuts to scene with Homestar Runner and Strong Bad sitting next to each other, watching the end of the commercial on the TV}
STRONG BAD: I thought you said you were the star of this one.
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Oh, right. I made that up. But I did get to keep this cool eyeball. {puts on eyeball} Seeeee! Seeee!
STRONG BAD: What are you doing!?
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Isn't that the sound that um...eyeballs make? Seee! Seee!
{Strong Bad leaves}
{"Full Halloween Cartoon next week!" appears in the corner.}
Easter Eggs
- At the end, you can click on Homestar Runner's big eye and see a photo of a pumpkin carved to look like Marshie. Then click on the pumpkin to turn on/off a small amount of illumination. The photo is a Polaroid; under the picture is written "Don'tcha Like Me???"
Fun Facts
Explanations
- The "Full Halloween Cartoon" mentioned at the end of the short is 3 Times Halloween Funjob.
Remarks
- The old version of the back of Homestar's head is used for this cartoon.
- "Dramatastration" is a mangling of the words "dramatization" and "demonstration."
- According to Marshie, Malloweens "taste the same, but look different". However, right before he says that, he mentions that they are "orange and black flavored", and therefore tasting different from regular Fluffy Puffs.
Trivia
- When The Sad Kids are trick-or-treating, the welcome mat says "Weclome".
- The music right before Marshie pops out of the coffin is Toccata and Fugue in D Minor (BWV 565) by Johann Sebastian Bach. The piece is often used as generic spooky music. The music played throughout the remainder of the cartoon is the song from Meet Marshie played on an organ.
- On top of Mr. Shmallow's grave is a common pumpkin cutting design.
