Strong Bad provides his usual scathing commentary on some fan Halloween costumes, including a few that are both impressive and discomforting, a few that look like crime scene photos, one that inspires new discoveries about The Cheat's baffling physiology, and a long string of them that are good enough to avoid Strong Bad's snappy comebacks.

----
!!Tropes:
* BizarreAlienBiology: Strong Bad is disturbed by one lady in a The Cheat costume that makes it look like she skinned The Cheat alive, but it turns out The Cheat is able to ''molt'', which Strong Bad finds even more unnerving.
-->'''Strong Bad:''' WAAAUGH! That is so much worse than if you were actually skinned alive!
* BrickJoke: Strong Bad's "Impressive, Disturbing, and Makes Me Uncomfortable" song gets a reprise in response to a Coach Z costume.
* ContinuityNod:
** The first costume shows Marshie in his vampire costume from "Malloween Commercial".
** One Homestar costume inspires Homestar to pose and go "Hustle for sports!", in reference to "Coach Z's 110%".
** Strong Bad busts out his "public radio" voice from [[Recap/StrongBadEmailE120Radio "radio"]] for one costume.
** One costume is actually an elaborate reconstruction of the Proud Anselmo from the Strong Bad Email [[Recap/StrongBadEmailE138SpaceProgram "space program"]].
* NeverSayThatAgain: Strong Bad asks Marshie to never use the phrase "poomp back" ever again.
* ParodyCommercial: A Homestar costume with a particularly boxy, angular head inspires a riff on pick-up truck commercials advertising the 2018 "Truckhead Homestar".
* SarcasmFailure: Near the end of the video, Strong Bad finds nearly half a minute's worth of costumes he feels are good enough they don't deserve any put-downs.
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: When Strong Bad is gushing about the picture reenacting "space program".
-->'''Strong Bad:''' This is no costume! You guys started your own [=SBEmail=] Reenactment Society!\\
'''Strong Sad:''' (''[[BadLiar nervously]]'') Which is something ''I've'' never done!
* TakeThat: Larry Palaroncini apparently regards ''Film/{{Twister}}'' as one of the low points of Creator/CaryElwes' career.
* TakeThatAudience: Strong Bad riffs on some of the lower-quailty costumes, but this is briefly subverted when Strong Bad comes across a whole string of costumes that are actually pretty high-quality.
* TemptingFate: Strong Bad admits he feels guilty seeing fans make up costumes that show more effort [[SelfDeprecation than went into the source material]]... then he sees a an absolutely ''dreadful'' Strong Bad costume and goes "Oh wait, never mind!"
* ThatRemindsMeOfASong: Strong Bad randomly bursts into a song inspired by an oversized Homsar costume and a lady dressed as Modestly Hot Homsar
-->'''Strong Bad:''' This is impressive, disturbing, and makes me uncomfortable!\\
This is impressive, disturbing, and makes me uncomfortable!\\
Oh, that's the way that we dress up as Homsar\\
For the Halloween\\
Holidays!
* YouMonster: Strong Bad calls one fan "You inhuman monster!" when he briefly thinks she skinned The Cheat for her costume.
