''{The screen displays the words "A filmed commercial advertisement". Then Mr. Shmallow appears on the screen.}''

'''MR. SHMALLOW:''' Greetings, fallows. I'm Mr. Shmallow. ''{his name appears on the screen}''

''{Mr. Shmallow jumps to the next scene-he peeps in from the left as a bunch of candies appear on a table. The candies are labeled Dandied Sugar, Sweet Brand Meats, Choco-Lumps, and Delicious "Bag".}''

'''MR. SHMALLOW:''' Have you grown loath of ordinary confections?

''{cuts to a shack in the arctic labeled "Sugah Shak", with Mr. Shmallow peeping in from the top}''

'''MR. SHMALLOW:''' Has the Sugah Shak left you out in the cold?

''{The door of the shack closes, then the walls of the shack collapse outwards, revealing The Sad Kids. The shack roof falls on them. Cut to a man in a dress shirt, dress pants and tie, smoking a pipe and carrying a briefcase, next to a woman dressed in a '50s style party dress. Both are wearing jetpacks and hover before a curtain with a star-burst pattern evocative of the 1950s, accompanied by the sound of Homsar walking. The words "Look Lively!" appear in front of them.}''

'''MR. SHMALLOW:''' Look lively at today's go-get-'em lifestyle with ''{The Fluffy Puff box is displayed}'' Fluffy Puff Air-Puffed Sugar Delights!

''{The box moves slightly as a winking sound is heard. Cut to a pile of sugar being "puffed" by a bellows into a marshmallow shape, making a wheezing sound.}''

'''MR. SHMALLOW:''' Each delight is hand puffed with a blend of only the finest airs.

''{A cartoon cloud wearing a medal labeled "O<sub>2</sub>" enters from the upper right while a turkey and a floret of broccoli are "puffed" by the bellows into marshmallow shapes. The words "Air-Puffing® Tech-No-Logy® appear at the top.}''

'''MR. SHMALLOW:''' Air puffing is surely the future of eating delicious foodstuffs.

''{Cut to a fat, rich-looking man at a desk smiling and snapping his suspenders. On his desk are two boxes, labeled "FIRED" and "TO BE FIRED".}''

'''MR. SHMALLOW:''' Mr. Bossman wouldn't settle for much less!

''{Cut to a marshmallow on a stick roasting over a fire. The moon can be seen in the upper left hand corner.}''

'''MR. SHMALLOW:''' Add open flames to create a flavor taste ''{the words "Flavor Taste" appear}'' that will—

''{Cut to Mr. Shmallow in a glass ship, in front of a background with stars hanging on strings.}''

'''MR. SHMALLOW:''' —send you to the moon!

''{Mr. Shmallow flies up to the moon, which eats him.}''

'''THE MOON:''' Air-puffed sugar delights!

'''MR. SHMALLOW:''' ''{sweating}'' That's right, the moon! ''{his forelock swings down and cleans off his glasses, which have fogged up}'' Enjoy Fluffy Puffs Air-Puffed Sugar Delights! Hand-puffed at the factory in Neuconsin.

''{Music starts playing, and Mr. Shmallow bounces along.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' ''{singing}'' Fluffy Puff air-puffed sugar delights,—

''{The Fluffy Puff box comes out of Mr. Shmallow's hat, and a speech bubble appears with the words "Hand-Puffed at the factory in Neuconsin!"}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' ''{singing}'' —hand-puffed at the factory in Neuconsin! ''{stops singing} {quickly, sotto voce}'' Fluffy Puff Air-Puffed Sugar Delights. Hand-puffed at the factory in Neuconsin.

''{"Fluffy Puff Air-Puffed Sugar Delights*" and "*Hand Puffed at the factory in Neuconsin" appear at the bottom.}''

''{The camera pulls back to reveal The Homestar Runner watching the commercial on a screen.}''

'''MR. SHMALLOW:''' Look lively. ''{The words "Look Lively!" appear on the screen.}'' ''{suddenly louder, darting toward the camera}'' LOOK LIVELY!

''{The Homestar Runner jumps and Mr. Shmallow tip-toes off the screen to the left with Homsar's walking noise. The camera cuts to a front view of The Homestar Runner.}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That monster's gonna give me nightmares.

''{Cut back to a closeup of the Fluffy Puffs Air-Puffed Sugar Delights box with the words "The End" on the screen.}''

== <span class="mw-headline"> Easter Eggs </span> ==

* At the end, click on "Air-Puffed Sugar Delights" to see a short scene featuring Sickly Sam.

''{Cut to Sickly Sam standing next to a bag of Delicious "Bag".}''

'''SICKLY SAM:''' This empty bag of Delicious "Bag" would make a fine sock for the colder of my two feet.

''{Sickly Sam shakes his left foot, then begins reaching for the bag. The Sneak runs up and rips the bag to shreds, then runs away}''

'''SICKLY SAM:''' Well, folks, you know what that means. ''{disappears in a puff of smoke}''

<span id="explanations"></span>
=== <span class="mw-headline">Explanations</span> ===

* A "[[Sugar house|sugar shack]]" is a structure where maple sap is converted into maple syrup.
* "O<sub>2</sub>" is the chemical formula for [[Oxygen|molecular dioxygen]], which comprises about twenty-one percent (by volume) of the Earth's atmosphere.
* Mr. Shmallow sweating is a reference to how actors in early films would occasionally be seen sweating because of how hot the spotlight could get.

<span id="remarks"></span>
=== <span class="mw-headline">Remarks</span> ===

* The "go-get-'em lifestyle" people are done in a more fifties style, complete with Space Age science fiction. The Space Age sci-fi fad did not occur until then, so such depictions would be nonexistent in 1936.

<span id="inside-references"></span>
=== <span class="mw-headline">Inside References</span> ===

* This cartoon is roughly equivalent to [[Meet Marshie]] where [[Marshie]] talks about how [[Fluffy Puff Marshmallows]] are made and what you can do with them. It even includes a comment from The Homestar Runner at the end, echoing [[Homestar Runner|Homestar's]] appearance at the end of Meet Marshie.
* Sickly Sam saying, "Well folks, you know what that means," echoes The Homestar Runner's saying, "Well folks, you know what that means. Now I'll do a dance."
* The page title "Mr. Shmallow makes good!" and the summary in the Toons Menu reading "He's no [[Apothecary|apothecary]]" are both references to the Easter egg in the email [[2 emails]], in which [[Old-Timey Strong Bad]] said variations of these two things.
* The sound [[Mr. Shmallow]] makes when he leaves the screen is the same fluttery noise [[Homsar]] makes when he walks.

* The [[Delicious "Bag"]] later appears in [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]].

<span id="youtube-version"></span>
== <span class="mw-headline">YouTube Version</span> ==

* The title of this toon is "Fluffy Puff Air-Puffed Sugar Delights".
** When it was uploaded, the title was "mrshmallow yt".
* The [[YouTube]] description for this toon is "An old-timey version of Marshie? Sign me up! Mr. Shmallow living Lively!"
* The Easter egg plays automatically.
