A couple of transcript points
Sounds to me more like Bubs says MAYBE you got a witch's brew goin'. Also, it sounds more like Marzipan says Homestar Michael Winner, but that's just silly :P Also also, does Coach Z's comment on mailmen make any sense to anybody?
- The relevance of "baby" is described in Fun Facts. Coach Z's comment was an unexpected twist to the conversation he seemed to be having with Pom Pom - up until the word "mailmen" it sounded more like they were talking about women (IMHO). --Jay (Talk) 09:30, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- I thought he said "male men" the first time, but that doesn't really make much sense either. By the way, having listened to that clip quite a few times through halfdecent headphones, I still say Bubs says MAYBE, even if it is a reference...
- Maybe Marzipan was talking 'bout This Micheal. It sounds like it to me.--68.239.117.11 12:38, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
Now that IS scary
Holy freaking cow. No wonder it was taking them such a long time. This is gonna be a nightmare (in a good way) to wiki, what with the Inside Ref.s and the Real World Ref.s and the like... —AbdiViklas 06:37, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- Quick, find whoever did The House That Gave Sucky Treats's transcript and let them have a go here... --DorianGray
- P.S. May I also not say that I am not, in any way, mean. --My real name is Sean
- That was Krem. Yes, I actually bothered to go to the old wiki, look it up (which was really easy since the credit is given at the bottom of the page), and then checked that user name against the current user list here. 'Twas the same person. (Of course it helped that right there on his/her current user page it says: "I did about 2/3 of the transcript for The House that Gave Sucky Treats".) Wow, I can't believe I actually did that. Just goes to show you just how fried my brain is at 1:47 in the morning. — User:ACupOfCoffee@ 07:47, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
Homestar's transformations
I've figured out that what Homestar turns into at the very end depends on what "essence" you get from Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and The Cheat. "Essence of Doo-Doo Meringue" results in Tofu Homestar, "Essence of Strong Mad's Finger Dipped in a Glass of Warm Water" (or however it went) gives you a Marzipan with really bad teeth and a weird voice, and "Essence of Gullibility" leads to classy French Homestar. Someone might want to double check this just to make sure, though -- I only went through it 4 times.
- Yeah, that is a bit off. I got Essence of Strong Mad Prank and it resulted in Tofu Homestar. Azure Haights 06:51, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- I don't think that's it. I went through once with each item, and got The Goblin, Tofu Homestar, and a cyclops Homestar. I bet a decompiler will help this one. Maybe. I dunno exactly what they do. --DorianGray
- What the?? I got Tofu Homestar each of my 3 times. I guess this thing has more potential than I thought! (Maybe it has to do with how you combine the choices? I picked the same number each time—i.e. AAA, BBB, CCC, etc. —AbdiViklas 06:55, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- 3^5=243 combinations. Let's divide and conquer!
- If anyone knows how those online quizzes work, I bet it's like that. I've always wondered how they worked... Random answers match you to the perfect character. --DorianGray
- Ghost(1), Herbs+Spices, DooDoo Merigne(1),1,3 = Marzipan Clone w/ bad teeth
- Wait, guys, if we're really going to do this, let's make a table. And use numbers (1-3), as above. —AbdiViklas 07:02, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- Ghost(1), Herbs+Spices, DooDoo Merigne(1),1,3 = Marzipan Clone w/ bad teeth
- If anyone knows how those online quizzes work, I bet it's like that. I've always wondered how they worked... Random answers match you to the perfect character. --DorianGray
- All I know is that this sure sounds like something Jonathan Howe would be behind. Have fun figuring it out. -- Tom 07:04, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- Right. This could be a complicated table... I'm-a try it on paper first. Y'know, list all the combinations: 11111, 11112, etc. You guys start the table. --DorianGray
- All I know is that this sure sounds like something Jonathan Howe would be behind. Have fun figuring it out. -- Tom 07:04, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- It seems as though the result is dependent on the sum of the choices. A sum divisible by 5 results in tofu homestar, 12 (and presumably 7) results in french homestar, and 11 (and presumably 6) results in cyclops homestar. I have personally tested 2,2,2,2,3 (cyclops homestar), and used the information provided by other users for this conclusion.
I'm going to sleep have fun. --24.21.231.89 07:35, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- hehe, one more, I did 1,1,1,1,3 again (my 2nd time) and got French Homstar this time, I'm wondering if they are all random? something to check into. Night--24.21.231.89 07:53, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- Tally up another French Homestar for 1,1,1,1,3. I was trying to go through all the transformations and got him with that combination. I hope there are a few super-secret combinations to try. Also, this may not be the place to say it, but I love this cartoon. I was worried TBC were making it at the last minute but regardless, they've done an excellent job. Top notch! Good prize! Great jorb! --Bobo the King 11:27, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

Transformations theory...
As someone who's done a little basic programming, I know one of the EASIEST ways TBC might have made this system work. Each option you select has a value attached to it, either 1, 2, or 3. When you select it, it gets added to a total value, at the end, your total value decides the transformation. This means that each set of choices probably has one 1-point option, one 2-point option, and one 3-point option. This is supported by the fact that some of the encounters seem to have a "best" choice, such as doing a dance for Bubs or getting the Ghost Water (outlined in the ingredients) from Coach Z. Chances are there's a special transformation if you get all the 3-point answers. Just a theory. Rocketlex 07:32, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
Halloween Costumes
Someone put up the halloween costume list in the fun facts. I removed it, because that belongs in the halloween costumes article. -- DJ Teh Cheat
Also, i noticed that someone put costume defenitions in the outside references. do these belong here, or should we keep them on the halloween costumes page? -- The Same Guy as the Last Thing
Homestar Variations
Should we plan on making seperate stub articles for French Homestar, One eyeball Homestar, and Freaky Marzipan? or should we wait and see if they ever reappear? -- DJ Teh Cheat
Order of transformations.
True! I wouldn't mind numbering them 0-4 myself. It just bothers me a little, listing 1 as the first one, knowing that programmatically, 0 is really first (in terms of ordering). Oh, the bane that is modular arithmetic. Yes, I am being pedantic. :) --Stux 08:59, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- Whatever works. 1-5 is easier to read for the average person who doesn't care about calculating which ending they're gonna get. 0-4 works better with the Trivia fact. --Jay (Talk) 09:05, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- I concur! (My eye's still twitching a little but I can live with that ;) )--Stux 09:06, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
Bucket O' Chicken
I noticed the Bucket of chicken dealy, and do remember seeing it somewhere. However I am having a hard time finding it on the theme park page, much less any mention of Knf'nC, or chicken, or King of town and chicken, or any such combination. --Stux 09:10, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- That was a mistake on my part, and I already fixed it. Sorry for the trouble. (It was in monster truck, BTW.) --Jay (Talk) 09:15, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- No problem! I found the related info and it's all looking G-O-O-O-..-O-O-..-O-D goood! Great job all! --Stux 09:17, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
Terlet Brush?
I think that "Terlet Brush" is a reference to A Folky Tale. H * R 7 0 0
how?--Coach B 12:57, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
When Coach Z says that Saddy Dumpington sounds kinda like a Terlet. H * R 7 0 0
- "Terlet" is from the last Halloween toon. - Joshua 13:11, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
Original list
How was the original list determined? I've looked at the bug and duck obscured list that homestar is carrying, and I have a hard time buying the supposed original items. the frist letter of what should be "Ghost" according to this list has a flat top.--sarducci
- Consider the font used. It is "Ghost-Water". Which, by the way, is the only item on the original list that can actually be obtained (if we assume that the JP3 spoon isn't made of wood.) --Jay (Talk) 17:41, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- Also, if you get Ghost-Water in the actual 'toon, look at how it's written on the scorecard, which uses the exact same font. It's a flat-topped capital G. --Jay (Talk) 17:43, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
