[edit] Names as they appear in toon

So I was trying to match the names to how they appeared in-toon, but I didn't realize that the false ending mimicking the original Homestarloween Party could also be counted as an appearance of the costume names in-toon. Personally I prefer the names given in the "Later That Night" scene to the ones on the Homestarloween false ending, since the former's been the standard since 2001 (as the walking Homestar Runner Wiki can attest) and the reference to "Larry" in the Quaker Oats guy's description seems weird without the "(Larry)" name from the "Later That Night" text box, but I'd like to hear some other opinions as well.

Huh, that's a good point. In this case I think whichever name is longest is the best - so "Operation Guy" but otherwise favoring the LTN version of names. -- Bleu Ninja 22:02, 24 October 2022 (UTC)

Perhaps that could work. I've been thinking of maybe listing both versions of each name that differs, but if that would be too unwieldy then favoring the longer version of the name could work. And I'd say my "(Larry)" argument above is moot with that section of the description being removed, but I have half a mind to add it back...
