Transcript

{A swirling background is on screen. Marshie does his "rocket move" and faces the audience.}

MARSHIE: 'Sup, fools? I'm Marshie. Capital "M" and then "arshie"! I'm going this way!

{As he says this, the "M" and "arshie" appear under him. When he goes "this way" the text says "went that way!!!!!!!!!" The screen cuts to a chalkboard.}

MARSHIE: Why eat some other stuff,—

{Different types of food appear on the chalkboard: a ham, a pineapple, a cupcake, a piece of cherry pie, a hot dog, and a martini.}

MARSHIE: —when you can eat—

{Fluffy Puff Marshmallows replace the food items.}

MARSHIE: FLUFFY PUFF MARSHMALLOWS? {Logo appears.}

{Screen cuts to plate of marshmallows.}

MARSHIE: Breakfast,—

{The marshmallows get covered in syrup topped with a pat of butter. A glass of juice appears next to the plate}

MARSHIE: —lunch,—

{the syrup vanishes and a salt shaker (labeled "7") and pepper shaker (labeled "3") are next to the marshmallows, which now have 3 tomato slices on them}

MARSHIE: —munch,—

{Batteries appear around the plate, while the marshmallows have nails stuck in them}

MARSHIE: —and pinner!

{Marshmallows now have a hat and eyepatch on them, and a cigar is next to them. Screen cuts to a pocket.}

MARSHIE: Stuff some in your pockets for—

{The chalk marshmallows go into the pocket. Marshie's voice turns creepy as the following words appear on the screen}

MARSHIE:secret eating!!!

{Cut to pillow.}

MARSHIE: Hide some underneath your pillow for sleepy times!

{The marshmallows appear underneath the pillow.}

MARSHIE: Dont'cha like me?

{Scene cuts to The Sad Kids.}

MARSHIE: Kids ask for it by name!

THE SAD BOY: What?

THE SAD GIRL: Huh?

{Penny whistle sounds and Fluffy Puff Marshmallow logo falls down and crushes Sad Kids.}

MARSHIE: 'Sright kids! Go eat'ya some Fluffy Puff Marshmallows! Now try new Fluffy Puff All-Marshmallow Mayonnaise. {Marshie's voice changes to an incredibly weird voice.} Made from the best stuff.

{Screen cuts to Homestar Runner watching the commercial on TV.}

MARSHIE: I'm fluffity. I'm puffity. Six, seven, eight, nine, ten.

BACKGROUND SINGERS: {slightly out of time with Marshie} They're fluffity. They're puffity. One, two, three, four, five.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: I hate that freakin' marshmallow.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: I hate that freakin' robot.
  • Press "f" on the keyboard following the previous Easter egg to see a disclaimer.
{Cut to the yellow screen from earlier, with the Fluffy Puff Marshmallows logo, a bag of marshmallows, and a jar of mayo.}
VOICEOVER: Fluffy Puff Marshmallows and Marshmallow Mayonnaise. Each sold separately. Comes with everything you see here. Batteries not included. Kids, don't eat nails. {pause} Is that it? Am I done? Can I go? Anybod—Anybody want to get something to eat?
  • Note: These Easter Eggs will only work in lowercase. They will not work if the Caps Lock is on or if the Shift is pressed down.

Fun Facts

Trivia

  • This clip is the background music played when Marshie is talking at the end. Marshie's voice is added over this track.
  • If you view the Flash file, there is a clickable area at the top-right corner outside the frame at the end, but does nothing.

Goofs

  • When The Sad Kids turn around to face Marshie, their shadows (very faint) don't change direction.

Inside References

  • The song that the Background Singers sing near the end is the same song that they sang at the end of the Fluffy Puff Commercial.
  • The plates of marshmallows with various toppings are examples of concoctions.
  • The goat sound played during 'pinner' is the same from Audition with Marzipan.
  • "Pinner" is wearing a bowler hat and an eyepatch, and has a cigar.
  • A possible reason that Homestar dislikes Marshie is that he seems to have replaced Homestar as Fluffy Puff's mascot, a position he seemed to hold in Fluffy Puff Commercial.

Real-World References

Fast Forward

  • The "7" labeled salt shaker makes an appearance in record book.
  • In an Easter egg in island, "pinner" is one of the 4 foods Strong Bad can change into.
  • 1-Up says "I'm going this way!" in Stinkoman 20X6.
  • On Main page 26 Marshie's Xeriouxly Forxe counterpart "Marxie" appears to be a cyborg, calling back to Homestar's "I hate that freaking robot." line.

DVD Version

  • The Easter egg where Homestar calls Marshie "a freakin' robot" has been disabled.
  • The Easter egg involving the Fluffy Puff Marshmallows disclaimer is accessed like a normal Easter egg.
