Given that [[Halloween]] is one of the main holidays celebrated in the [[Homestar Runner universe]], it's no surprise that '''[[pumpkins]]''' have been featured quite prominently, both in the Halloween [[toons]], and in other small features related to halloween, most especially the annually updated [[Punkin Stencils]]. They have been carved, [[The Cheat Gnawing|gnawed]], and even been the trigger for [[Easter eggs]]. In addition, two popular mispronunciations for the word have come to exist.
