One of the biggest reasons Homestar Runner had so many great ones was that they normally let the characters’ body-shapes influence their costumes. Strong Sad, even as a puffy, pale flash cartoon, looks like the real Gorbachev. This might be my favorite costume from these cartoons, period. Don’t like it? Take it up with Strong Mad.) I know I’m going to get yelled at anyway, but I did try to pick what I thought would be the consensus best. (No matter how much I loved any specific costume personally, if it wasn’t really the objective best I didn’t pick it. Using an advanced analytical rubric, measuring which ones I love the most and which ones I think other people also love, I was able to unquestionably determine the best from each year. So to celebrate both Nerdoween and one of the most creative websites ever, I have put together a highly scientific list of the best costumes from every Homestar Halloween episode. However, for those of us that waited every week for a new Strong Bad email, October will always remind of us of the site, because it meant we got a new Halloween episode, and that meant awesome new costumes. In fact, you should plan on spending a few hundred hours of your life watching everything they ever did, because those are characters from, an absurd and hilarious flash-animation cartoon that primarily ran from 2000 until 2009.
Or, if you have an idea for a different costume, and want to contact me about that, I’d be happy to help.If the names The Cheat, Marzipan, and Pom Pom mean nothing to you then I am sorry to say you missed out on one of the great internet sites of all-time. As for the mechanics, that’s the fun part. The eyes are styrofoam, and the nose is stuffed fabric. The head is made of thick paper, rolled into a cylinder. It’s fun, pretty easy, and you’ll feel accomplished. If you’d like to use this information to build your own, go ahead.
My motivation is all about figuring out how to build it the first time, so I’m just not interested in doing the same thing twice. I’m flattered, but I’m not going to make it again. Interested?

These people were surprised to see a human-scale Muppet in downtown Seattle.Īnd for now this is where he sits, awaiting the next Halloween party.Īfter that, who knows? I just might sell him. Then it started to rain, so we had to leave. That guy in the background with two cameras is my friend Josh. That black sheer mesh covering her face works really well. When the mouth is open though, you can see better. In reality it’s a little easier to see out, but not much. OK, technically this is the view from a camera that’s held inside. Here’s the view from inside with the mouth closed. And yes, the mouth is where you look out. The whole mouth is hinged and built with elastic, so it snaps closed again.
It’s hidden inside the lab coat and can be accessed through a fake pocket. To open the mouth, you pull the orange loop pictured below. Especially since they only have 4 fingers on each hand. I have never made actual clothing before, let alone giant menswear, and I just kind of winged it. I needed to take a picture of this collar. It wasn’t until the point pictured below that I remember I was supposed to be taking build photos. I got right into this project because I didn’t have any time to waste. I’ve got plenty more photos where that came from, including some (but not many) build photos. It was just down the street, so we could walk there - she in costume, and me sort of assisting, because it’s a bit hard to see at times. When I finished it all up, we decided to make a sign and go show it off at the (Seattle location) Rally to Restore Sanity.
