Transcript
''{The Stage is seen in the same fashion as it was the original Halloween Awards Show, with a podium. However, it is completely empty, to represent the fact that it hasn't been used in years. The whole stage is covered with dust and crickets from head to toe, and the crickets are munching on a couple of very small gold piles which are supposed to be the remnants of the golden Homestar statues from the original Halloween Awards Show. The camera lingers on this scene for a few seconds to emphasize it until all of a sudden, with a pleasant harp noise, the dust and crickets suddenly are wiped away. With a short triumphant horn fanfare, Strong Bad walks in, still in the Carmen Miranda costume from Homestarloween Party, although the dress part has worn out and contains several holes and the fruit on his head has been reduced to nothing more than a pile of rotten mush. He walks up to the podium, and waits patiently for something to happen. He twiddles his boxing gloves for a bit, and then officially fed up with waiting, he finally asks:}''

STRONG BAD: Where the crap is the announcer? Or the text guy?

''{Cut to the audience, consisting of the remaining 10 of the main 12 who appeared in Homestarloween Party. They are all also in their respective costumes that they wore in the special. All of their costumes similarly are worn-out and have tears in them, except the ones that don't really have any clothing (The Cheat and The Poopsmith). Pom Pom's Stay-Puft costume is also now black, ala a marshamallow that has been roasted on a campfire for too long.}''

MARZIPAN: They both quit.

STRONG SAD: Yeah, when you have to wait fifteen years to do a job, you tend to be pretty unenthusiastic about it when the time rolls around.

{Back to SB}

STRONG BAD: Okay, guess it's up to me. {whips out some flash cards, writes something on them very quickly, and then starts to read it unenthusiastically} We had this thing where you could vote on who had the best Halloween costume for our first two Halloweens. It took us five years to do the first for that time we all went to your house to trick-or-treat, which naturally was won by {points thumbs to himself} the one who always wins around here.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: {voiceover, from offscreen} That was him?

STRONG BAD: We only released that privately and still have the option to vote to a non-existent address, because you're never too young to get your first Mailer Daemon. Unfortunate, we were so eager to get the one that had costumes that were actually interesting, and not the ones that were just childhood memories either too painful {cut to Homestar and Strong Sad sitting in the audience} or too boring {cut to The Cheat and Strong Mad affectionately sitting in the same chair} to want to remember, and thus this completely slipped our minds. Until now, that is. However, due to my technical {makes air quotes} "geniuses" {cut back to Strong Mad and The Cheat, now looking angry at Strong Bad} slacking off, {back to SB} we never actually installed the feature to send in your votes, and so I am forced to make them up right now. So our first nominee is {picture of Coach Z's Flavor Flav costume} Blind The Noid!

''{booing from the audience ensues. Cut to Coach Z in audience}''

COACH Z: That's Flavor Flav! Only the ringleader of the most influential group ever!

{back to SB}

STRONG BAD: I wonder what made him blind? Probably the notion some Japanimation girl replaced him. Next up, {image of The Cheat's Garfield costume} The Cheat about to go to bed!

{more booing}

MARZIPAN: {voiceover} That's Garfield! Don't you ever receive my greeting cards?

STRONG BAD: Don't worry, egg white delight, I took care of those a long time ago.

''{cut to The Field, where Strong Bad is at his "snail.mail.exe" mailbox. The Poopsmith comes along to put something in the mailbox and opens the lid, causing flames to come out and knock him offscreen. Strong Bad does a devilish little giggle. Back to The Stage...}''

STRONG BAD: I do know what that is, but boy. I hate to say this to you, The Cheat, but talk about a bad costume! A pair of eyes and a teddy bear? At least have some lasagna! And of course, {image of it appears} yours truly as Carmen Electra. {Pulls out envelope and reads it, drum-roll sound starts} And the winner is...{astonishingly, questionably} Homsar as Frank Zappa? ''{an image of Homsar, looking like the middle early Homsar design from the 7/7/2005 sketchbook drawing, dressed as Frank appears}

''{The audience, naturally upset, argues for a while, although they are not actually saying anything, just gibberish. Cut back to Strong Bad, who is looking somewhat worried. All of a sudden, Homsar's familiar walking noise is heard. Dressed in the Zappa costume, Homsar falls out of absolutely nowhere and crushes Strong Bad, taking his place on the stage.}''

HOMSAR: WaAaAaAaAHh...I've become a stereotype on some legs! Eet shor would be nice to get those big gold frankfurters re-erected in the honer of my pajamas!

{cut to Homestar and Pom Pom in the audience.}

POM POM: {bubbles}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: So you used your powers that do the thing to make Homsar the winner? I guess that's what I get for having roasted you.

POM POM: {more bubbles}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: It's not my fault! How was I supposed to know it was you? And even if I did now, I still wanted to know what you taste like. It wasn't marshmallows at all! Just a rubber ball.

POM POM: {bubbles yet again}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: You're right. I do suppose I probably taste like marshmallows.

''{everybody angrily and disappointingly leaves sans Homestar, Strong Bad, and Homsar. Homestar is making munching noises as if he is trying to eat himself.}''

STRONG BAD: {weakly} I need paramedics. Seven o' dems...

{end}
