Mr. Poofers Must Die - Halloween 2018

Homestar Runner tries to tell a top-notch 4.5 stars with over 600 reviews quality ghost story. The other characters appear as well!

That's why I want to make a D&D concept out of it. Mr. Poofers: the spooky story that bewitches your mind.

[@saeklin]

In Japanese folklore, tsukumogami are tools that gain souls after 100 years of use. I see no reason why the idea couldn't be applied to ghost stories. Once it has a soul, it would want to keep being useful, maybe even to have talented writers "grow" the story by adding new chapters and such. And if someone doesn't tell the story right or is interrupted, the story spirit gets angry. I can totally see this being a Mushi in the manga Mushishi, if it isn't already.

Mr. Poofers was walking through Old Man Rootbeer's farm. All of a sudden, he fell down dead tired. He was very sleepy from the long day of eating pinecones. After he woke up from his nap, Old Man Rootbeer killed him with a joke that he found very hilarious. Together, they enjoyed a nice day in the forest. Until he ate too many pine cones and choked up, thinking about how Old Man Rootbeer is so kind letting him eat all those pinecones.

You know as silly as Mr. Poofers is, the concept behind his stories is intriguing. The idea of a story that you are unable to make something bad happen to, is both creepy and genius. It brings new ideas to the concept of a "cursed story" Usually in these types of "cursed stories" the abomination (or something among those lines) targets those that dare tell its story. But hear the opposite happens. You literally can't say anything bad or can't bring harm to Mr. Poofers. That's a genius idea!!!

[@nybbleme]

Well homsar was created due to a typo when someone emailed Strong bad near the beginning, and senor cardgage was created by accident when they asked Strong bad something along the lines of what would he look like if he wasn't cool. A lot of weirdness has been created from accidental or intentional questions raised...

[@AshleyWool]

I have to say, ever since H*R officially migrated to KZbin, I've been enjoying the comments just as much as the toons themselves. Being part of the H*R fandom is like performing with a huge improv troupe that has a million inside jokes. As soon as something new is introduced, everybody jumps on board no matter how bizarre it is, and even if it isn't funny, it becomes an anti-joke which somehow makes it funny (eg Tape Leg). And this is also probably the most drama-free fandom in the history of the Internet. I don't think in 15 years I've ever seen a comment section on a H*R video, or on SB's Twitter, or on the wiki forum, where anybody was fighting or harassing anybody else, and not a lot of fandoms can say that. In short, you guys are rad. I'm all the way here for our new fluffy overlord.

Suddenly, a shrike (a bird that impales its prey on thorns and eats them) mistook Mr. Poofers for a mouse, and it swooped down on him, carried him off to a thorn bush, and he... had a dance party with the shrike, and won the trophy. RATS! I was so close!!!

[@TheStopShort]

Lemme give it a whirl. Old man Rootbeer was seething angry, and he wanted that pup’s head on a platter. So he went to That Guy In a Painting with a Really Big Knife, and traded his best lavender scented pinecone for that big knife. When Rootbeer returned to the woods, he found Mr. Poofers curled up in a ball, fast asleep, suspecting nothing. He crept up to the snoozing pup, the big knife gleaming in the moonlight, ready to slice up anything. Then Old Man Rootbeer held the knife high above his head, and brought it down, right in the middle of Mr. Poofers’ -pumpkin, and he cut the top out and gutted the inside, and he turned that pumpkin into a pie to share with his new fluffy cloud dog best friend, Mr. Poofers. Guys, this dog is a source of unspeakable power.

Trogdor marched throughout the countryside, leaving nothing but burnination in his wake. The might of all the soldiers of the kingdom was not enough. The burninator kept walking, when in front of him, he saw a tiny dog eating a pine cone. Mr. Poofers looked at Trogdor and said "Miffa Miffa Meeka Moo!" Trogdor, as he had done many times before, breathed in, preparing to burninate, and then... He sang a happy song and danced with Mr. Poofers. Argh! Can't do it!

Mr. Poofers was bouncing on a family heirloom trampoline from 1962 on top of a sheer cliff, when Old Man Root Beer dropkicked him off it. "Miffa meek meeka moo miff!", said Mr. Poofers as he fell through the air, away from the steep drop and onto the solid ground that the trampoline was standing on. It translated to an in-depth and overly critical review of Tank Girl. WAIT HOLD ON HOW DID I

[@HumbleBoop]

Ok, obviously the comments can't seem to deal with this, so I'm just gonna go for the overkill here. Old Man Rootbeer finally snapped! He had had enough of Mr. Poofers constantly eating his pinecones, so he did the first logical thing and snuck inside a military base. There, he stole himself a nuclear warhead and a plane to drop it out of. He flew the plane over Mr. Poofers and then dropped his wallet. Mr. Poofers then caught and returned it to Old Man Rootbeer's home address, where Old Man Rootbeer would find it as he returned home after kindly returning the stolen military equipment back to the base that they belonged in. ... You win this time, Mr. Poofers...

[@Lynn17]

Oh, here, let me do it. And then a giant platypus fell from the sky and crushed Mr. Poofers...'s doghouse, rendering him homeless. Luckily, Old Man Rootbeer was a master carpenter so he built a brand new one guaranteed not to get crushed under any giant mammals or ducks or what have you, and Mr. Poofers had a home.

All of you are foolish to think Old Man Rootbeer would be powerful enough to destroy this abomination. I'll show you how it's truly done! As the Overlord Chap descended from the heavens he charged up a world destroying beam and aimed it right at Mr. Poofers. After the direct hit nothing remained of the planet except debris, Old Man Rootbeer, and Mr. Poofers, who finally get to go to the moon and eat Space Pimecones together. After their moon adventure they stumbled upon a new home planet shaped like a tortilla chip. What happened, when did I lose all control of my fingers? Don't worry Jenngra, you still have a backspace key, just go up there and OW! HEY! STOP SLAPPING ME... OWN HANDS!

[@LchanOtakudom]

Let me give it a shot, it’s been over a year. Surely his power isn’t infinite! Mister Poofers ate his pimecones contentedly while Old Man Root Beer watched. Suddenly the mailman brought Old Man Root Beer a box! A not roundish box, golly gee whiz! “This will be your DOOM, Mister Poofers!” Shouted Old Man Root Beer as he opened the box. Within it was a high velocity vacuum! “Miffa miffa?” Questioned Mister Poofers. Old Man Root Beer took aim with the hose attachment, cr-creeping closer to Mister... Poofers..! A...And... then...!!!!!!!!! The v-vacuum switched on..! Annnnnnnnd..!!!!!!! The carpet was cleaned in a flash and Old Man Root Beer and Mister Poofers made sure to leave good ratings for the manufacturer! ACK!!!!! He IS infinite!!!!

Just then, the sound of his howl caused the ground beneath him to give way! Mr Poofers plummeted hundreds of feet... and... and... cru-... crrruuuu-😃-unched into a huge pile of leaves left there by Old Man Root Beer. Mr Poofers jumped and frolicked in the leaves until morning, when Old Man Root Beer showed up. "You pesky Mr Poofers! You messed up my leaf pile! Now I have to rake it up again!" shouted Old Man Root Beer. Ah, crap... 😔

This is exactly why I became President: To take you out once and for all!" Old Man Root Beer opened the panel on his desk at the Oval Office, revealing the controls for the nuclear weapons.
