first things first using SMRXs ranking heres how i did recgonizing costumes this year:
1/5 Didn't recognize it.
2/5 Despite not having seen what it's from, I still recognized it.
3/5 I have seen what it's from, but it took a while to recognize it.
4/5 I have seen what it's from, and recognized it quickly.
5/5 I am extremely familiar with what it's from, and recognized it immediately.

2/5 (even without the teaser i would have got this one. Ive never played dragons lair but watched the NC and AVGN reviews as well as S2E1 of Stranger Things)
1/5 (i am familiar with this game but I thought he was either some form of Kamen Rider or Voltar from Leauge of Super Evil)
1/5 (I have played Breath of the Wild but it was with my dad and he isn't much for sidequests. I thought it was the demigorgon from Stranger Things before realizing that was a leaf)
1/5 (I only recognized it due to teaser speculation, which doesn't count in my book)
1/5 (ditto)
1/5 (you think Strong Bad would know Frankenstein wasn't the monster)
1/5 (another only because of the teaser one)
1/5 (i can't be the only one who thought she was the guy from Steely Dan)
5/5 (does this count? I haven't eaten Little Debbie products in years. Does eating translate to seeing? Ah well I still see them all the time in NY and I regconized it legimately so 5/5 it is)
2/5 (I don't know if sea monkey would have crossed my mind without the teaser but there's more of a chance than me non teaser recognizing PomZ or Bubs or Sad so 2/5 seems right. When I saw it was the girl sea monkey though I thought it was specifically the parody from the South Park episode "Simpsons Already Did It" so...1.5/5?)
1/5 (thought Chuckie from All Growed Up and didn't think why his hair was blonde. Both my parents love this movie and we've meant to see it with me but haven't)
...uggh this may be my worst year yet for overall recognizing
my favorites regardless were Homestar, SB, Pom Pom/Coach Z and KOT. Hardest year to pick out favorites not because any were bad but because none really stood out more than the other in pure "no way"itude. Maybe its the downside of not having every character slowly be introduced one by one like in past Halloween specials.
As for the toon....
errrrmmmm
it may be one of my personal least favorites but still not terrible and it undoubtly did grow on me with repeated viewings
I don't think they really communicated the main joke well until Strong Bad's crack at killing Mr Poofers. I missed some of the throwaway lines and thought for whatever reason they too were inept at talking about murder before randomly breaking down
also the joke in general seemed like they're trying a bit too hard too have something stick as a meme consciousness. It reminds me of a worse version of It's Not Jackie Chan. Toons based around one joke i find tend to be worse. Why do you think tape-leg became the injoke it is?
That being said some of the individual lines as usual salvaged it
i think the hardest parts I laughed: "...who absolutely had NOT asked for it." "it was half a hairbrush" "which has now been exactly one time", KOT and SB easter eggs
