Of course he did. Don't forget that Homestars entire deal is being a terrific athlete- he's a complete idiot, but he's still 100s of times more capable at performing any physical manoeuvre than SB would be and always has been. Homestars the only character in the universe that's ever shown as equal or sometimes greater in strength and speed than Pom Pom, who I'd argue is frequently written in a way that highlights how much more physically powerful he is compared to the other characters. Pom Pom beats everyone, but when you pay attention youll notice that Homestar generally beats or at least matches Pom Pom for any test of strength so this is the exact way it should have been expected to pan out. Thats one of the things I really like as a subtext in these toons - the theory that Homestars not just a loveable goofball, but a goofball too stupid to realise just how powerful he is as a character compared to his friends. Like seeing a modern warship roaming around and making friends with some dolphins, thinking it's a dolphin as well even though it's a literal war machine created to destroy things

Predictions for 2015: Strong Bad- Commander Stargazer (Silverhawks) Strong Mad- Gossamer (Looney Tunes) Pom Pom- The Kingpin (Spider-Man) Homestar- Latrine (Top Secret!) Marzipan- Zorro The King of Town- The Great Deku Tree (The Legend of Zelda) The Poopsmith- Leatherface (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre) Bubs- Mr. T (The A*Team) Coach Z- Grandmaster Flash (The Furious Five) Homsar- Frank Zappa (The Mothers of Invention) Strong Sad- Michael Stipe (R.E.M.) The Cheat- Bumblelion (The Wuzzles)
The only costume I genuinely recognized was Homsar as Dungeonmaster. I understood the references for Pom Pom as Homer (not the episode that the variation appears in), The Cheat as Spaceman Spiff, and Strong Mad as Goro.
So...why has there been no homestar runner videos since this one? No Christmas specials, nor any Thanksgiving specials. Hell not even a new Strong Bad Email. I hope we're not gonna get another four year hiatus.
It was about time if you ask me. That glass of milk they had in to do his voice acting was... starting to give off a bit of a staunch after all these years.
QUEENEmma Interestingly, this is the only time Marzipan has had actual hands. Not that Tom Servo's hands can ever do anything, though, so... That makes way more sense when you think of it that way!

There's only one explanation for this: Ghosts go through the eyelids
As an undead, Strong Sad can probably sense where people and apparitions are.
he was in on his brothers' and pom pom's plan
"Pom Pom! Quick! Hide!"
I would've LOVED to see Pom Pom just cover his eyes, and that'd somehow be enough for Homestar to consider him "hidden". lol
I can't believe how they always manage to come up with such perfectly fitting costumes. This is right up there with their best Halloween eps.
Well. I guess we finally know what would happen if you poked Pom Pom with a pin.
That question was asked like, 8 years ago.
I know the guy who sent that email. No foolin'.
Not necessarily a _fiery_ explosion like Strong Bad had guessed, but at least now we know :)

This Second Coming of Homestar Runner could cure the internet once and for all.
When I saw the silhouettes, I thought Strong Mad was Earthworm Jim. And that at some point, after something went wrong, he'd say, "UN-GROOVY!"
I died when I saw who Homestar was dressed as. Man, this Halloween Toon was totally worth the 5 year wait. You've still got it!
I recognized 6 costumes this year.

Same here.
I got, like, 4.
I only recognized two. I feel stupid forgetting that Pom-Pom's costume was a Simpsons reference.
RedSupernova64 That was the first one I recognized and I'm super stoked about it. I would have gotten 6 if they hadn't changed Marzipan's costume

Predictions for 2015:
Strong Bad- Commander Stargazer (Silverhawks)
Strong Mad- Gossamer (Looney Tunes)
Pom Pom- The Kingpin (Spider-Man)

Strong Sad- Michael Stipe (R.E.M.)
The Cheat- Bumblelion (The Wuzzles)

Only if you sever your leg.

And don't forget the time Homsar was killed by a Heavy Lourde....

I kind of wish they did actually do "I Killed Homestar" for a Halloween Special.
i can not stop hearing mortal, or mordor, whenever homestar says murder.
tbf strong sad makes a joke based on exactly that during the "everyone stands awkwardly in a field displaying their costumes" bit
did anybody else notice right away that the cheat was spaceman spiff?
me. and I also immediately recognized marzipan, strong mad and strong sad.
I about died hearing Homestar's "real" voice at the end!
"So what's the what's the scenario?" Holy shit I lost it. It feels so good to have homestarrunner back. You guys have not lost your touch.
Oh my god Homestar as Tobias Funke, I almost cried I was laughing so hard!
I love when Homestar gets stabbed by the Mac Tonight chin.
"Oh, Strong Bad, I think my evil jealous side secretly killed Pom Pom without even telling my dopey lovable side!"
"yeah and im standing here!" oh poor coach z
Hey Homestar, I really like your 'That guy from Big Fat Liar' costume.
I'll admit it. I fanboyed when I saw Marzipan dressed up as Tom Servo.
