Transcript

{Open on Puppet Homestar dressed as the Greatest American Hero in front of an orange curtain}

PUPPET HOMESTAR: {singing} Doo doo, doo doo doo (bah bah bah)
Doo doo, doo doo doo (bah bah bah)
Doo doo doo doo!
Look at what's happened to me-e
I can't believe it myseeelf
Suddenly I'm up on top of the world
Shoulda been somebody else
Boo boo boo boo boo, boo
Doot doot doot doot
Believe it or not, I'm walkin' around
I never thought I could trick-or-trea-hea-heat
Flyin' along on some things and a square
{softly} Who could it be?
Believe it or not, it's The Cheat

{Puppet The Cheat rises slowly from the bottom of the screen on the last line, then falls back down}

PUPPET HOMESTAR: {speaking} Happy Halloween.

{The screen blurs, and "Happy Halloween" appears on screen, accompanied by sparkles. Fade to black.}

{After a few seconds, abrupt cut back to Homestar, who is now throwing circus peanuts from the bottom of the screen}

PUPPET HOMESTAR: {singing circus theme} Boo boo boo-da-loo-da loo doo doo doo, boo boo boo-da-loo-da loo doo doo doo, bah bah-da-da-dah, bah bah-da-da-dah, do-da-loo-da-loo-da-loo-da-loo-da-loo-da lah dah!

{Homestar freezes, and "Happy Halloween" again appears across the screen. Fade to black.}

Fun Facts

Trivia

This is the second time that Puppet Homestar is seen in one of regular Homestar's Halloween costumes, the first being 3 Times Halloween Funjob (where he dressed as John McEnroe).
The YouTube description for this video is "Puppet Homestar revisits a classic costume and chooses to end in song! He can't believe it himself."

Inside References

Homestar's costume and song were both taken from The House That Gave Sucky Treats.
- Homestar singing Entrance of the Gladiators while throwing circus peanuts around is also a reference to this cartoon, when Homestar sings the same song if the viewer gives him the circus peanuts.
- Homestar does roughly the same motions from the toon (swaying his hips on "walkin' around", and standing taller on each syllable of "treat").
