Becoming our first back-to-back winner, the King puts together a costume so perfect it has to win in what was a great year. “The perfect combination of character and costume.” Yeah, um, I just wrote that about King of Town’s costume from last year, but it’s just as true here. Bison), The Cheat (Izzy the Olympic Mascot)
Honorable Mention: Homestar (John McEnroe), Strong Mad (Magnum P.I.), Poopsmith (M. A couple of honorable mentions would have easily won the two previous years, but it’s the always hungry King who gets this crown. If I have any bias it’s because I love hamburgers and have wanted to do this costume for years, but there’s no chance I’d do it as well. This is the perfect combination of character and costume, since King of Town spends most of his time stealing food. Honorable Mention: Poopsmith (Sleestak), Homestar and Strong Bad (Angus Young), Marzipan (Left Eye Lopes), Bubs (Captain Lou Albano) I mean, some people would just see a cool lizard costume (this would anger me and impact my enjoyment), but everyone else would yell “Oh yeah!” after a few glasses of Witch’s Brew. I was very tempted to go with the Poopsmith’s Sleestak, but ultimately decided Pom Pom’s would probably have broader appeal and thus be the bigger hit. Honorable Mention: King of Town (Hagar The Horrible), Marzipan (Joey Ramone), Strong Mad (Refrigerator Perry), Strong Sad (Andy Warhol)įor the second straight year we have a lot of really good costumes, but no real winner. Any of the honorable mentions could easily take this spot, but we’ll go with Homestar because it would win best costume at most parties. I probably picked four or five costumes as the best at one time or another, but ultimately settled on Homestar’s because it’s the silliest. This wouldn’t even be a top five Homestar costume, but 2001 was one of those years with a lot of good costumes with no real standouts. Homestar Runner: The Greatest American Hero
Honorable Mention: Homestar (Kurt Cobain), The Cheat (Garfield), Pom Pom (Stay Puft Marshmallow Man), King of Town (Cap’n Crunch) For being the first Halloween episode this is one of the best, with one of the best collections of costumes. 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. 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.
