Airdate: December 1-24, 2022
A collection of sheet music for various Homestar Runner songs, with a new one being added every day from December 1 to December 24. Along for the ride, is the cast reacting to the song choices and/or lamenting the lack of chocolate.
Tropes
- Abstract Eater: When Strong Bad grumbles that you can't swish Holiday Cheer in your mouth to make spit pudding like you can with chocolate, The King of Town declares he's gonna try anyway.
- Bait-and-Switch: Much to Strong Bad's surprise, the final song is "Todaybor Day is Labor Day." Homestar however manages to make it work with a Decemberween-themed version of it.Homestar: Todaybor Deeve is Decemberweeve
Todaybor Deeve is Decemberweeve
Todaybor Deeve is Decemberweeve
Todaybor Deeve is DecemberweeveTodaybor Deeve, Decemberweeve
Put on a hat that looks like Eh! Steve!
Pull your arms into your sleeves
Put a piece of pizza under grandma's tree!Poke Coach Z until he leaves
Those medieval boots, I think they're called greaves
Ghost of Bennedetto, RIP
Come on, everybody, it's Decemberweeve! - Call-Back: Many of the featured music hearkens back to the toons they came from.
- Strong Mad hopes that the theme song of his Doug the Dino film is featured at some point on the third day, despite Strong Bad pointing out that the "song" in question is just Strong Mad yelling "DINOSAUR!"
- The fifth page features Stinkoman alongside The Homestar Runner, a reference to their crossover short "20X6 vs. 1936."
- The "Meet Marshie" page features a plate of Pinner marshmallows.
- At the end of "Strong Bad is a Bad Guy", Strong Mad makes a chocolate glowy box, which is a piece of chocolate with Christmas lights and exposed wires sticking out of it.
- Day 16 has Strong Bad wonder if there will be a song about Sibbie in the book.
- Day 20 ends with an advertisement for Strong Bad Dancing Nobots.
- Strong Bad ends Strong Sad's appearance on Day 24 by demanding he get back in the bathtub, his usual fate on Decemberween.
- Cruel to Be Kind: This seems to be what Strong Bad's relationship with Strong Sad amounts to; when Strong Bad gets the Decemberweenvent Calendar and calls it "Disappointo", Strong Sad interjects and responds by saying that he thought he was Disappointo.
- Intoxication Ensues: Homestar drinking too much cough syrup causes him to start seeing his cow lamp coming to life and acting like a Doting Parent with The "Mom" Voice.Cow Lamp: (in a Midwestern mom voice) Homestar Runner, you march right back to bed, young man!
Homestar: [drowsily, but still surprised, as expressed by his nightcap] I'm just gonna... pretend I didn't see that.
Cow Lamp: You bet your ever-lovin' twees, you will, mister!
Homestar Runner: [walking offscreen, still drowsy] I knew I took too much of that cough syrup... - Paste Eater: Strong Bad mentions he used to eat the contents of LEGO advent calendars.
- Shout-Out:
- On Day 4, Strong Sad says he needs some of that Dickensian holiday doom and gloom.
- On Day 6, Homestar mistakes the calendar for a daily The Far Side calendar. Staying on Day 6's page will even change the artwork to be based on The Far Side.
- The Off-Model Cheat Commandos are based on Snagglepuss.
- Stylistic Suck: The music sheets are lined with deliberately Off-Model versions of relevant characters.
- You Mean "Xmas": In addition to Decemberween, we now learn that the Free Country, USA equivalent of Christmas Eve is called Decemberweeve.
- You Monster!: Played for Laughs when Strong Bad sees the Off-Model version of Trogdor.
