TRANSLATION OF THE SHORT (credit to fluffsalotpie1200) Mabel: Ooh, the new public television of Gravity Falls! Sounds promising.

Stan: Hi, I'm Mr. Mystery. Do you want to be befuddled? Bewildered? (stumbled over words) Then watch! Here's the Mystery Shack, The closest store full of all sorts of cheap, mysterious junk! Behold things that are so unbelievable, that they break not only the laws of nature, but also the laws of the government! (HEY, GET THAT CAMERA OUTTA HERE). A two headed whAT? The invisible whO? So many questions! (Oof! Enough!) There's also ice cream for the kids! But don't just listen to me--

Other Stan: Listen to ME!

Stan: What? Who are you?

Other Stan: And I'm the actual Mr. Mystery!

Stan: I can magically double myself!

Other Stan: I can magically doubl-- what?! Idiot, idiot! Another take!

Stan: Come to my Mystery Shack, where the real mystery is HOW YOU CAN GET OUT OF HERE ALIVE. (laughs) I'm just kidding! Since...most people managed to get out of here.

Jingle: Absurd at first, then wise, these are all Soos' words!

Soos: If you accidentally eat the prize from a cereal box, will you yourself become a box of cereal?
