	'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' The Trogdor shirt. We had a DVD come out in November and that was our best seller over Christmas, but the Trogdor shirt is still the top selling T-shirt. Which is pretty ridiculous. It's been over two years and Trogdor has only appeared in one or two small things since his initial appearance.		'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' The Trogdor shirt.

-	'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Probably not, but I still like that one. I would say that one of the Cheat Commandos things is probably my current favorite. Either the cereal commercial or "Shopping ~~for~~ Danger." Anytime we get to do anything that's not just the regular characters it's a nice change of pace, whether it's Cheat Commandos or Powered by the Cheat or whatever. I still get a kick out of the fact that it's different and new.	+	'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Probably not, but I still like that one.

They’re what bring a lot of people back to the site every week. Is there a character or feature that you’re surprised isn’t popular?

-	'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Mike mentioned to you already that there are polar reactions to some of the things we do, and that really surprises me. It’s hard for me to see that you could like our site for one thing and not all of it. Like, if you appreciated that Strong Bad e-mail then you should also like this Senor Cardgage commercial for a mortgage company, you know? But then of course if you’re a 12-year-old, you might not get it. Not that it’s so highbrow, but it’s just that it won’t be amusing to you. I remember around the time we introduced the character ~~Marshy~~ in his own little commercial, we got an e-mail from a kid who was saying how he didn’t think it belonged on the site, and it was so out of character with the rest of everything. I thought that was incredible. And in a way it’s kind of cool. I guess that’s how you know if there is any sort of mass appeal to what we do, because we have some things that are for one person but not for another. I guess Strong Bad is sort of the great equalizer. Everybody loves an {{{swear\|asshole}}}.	+	'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Mike mentioned to you already that there are polar reactions to some of the things we do, and that really surprises me.

-	'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' ''Arrested Development''. Stuff like that shocks me that it’s on TV, and it makes me even happier that it’s popular and it has stayed on, because for the longest time if you asked me and Mike what our favorite TV shows were it was a list of canceled shows. It was like ''Freaks and Geeks'', ''Upright Citizens Brigade''—I’m just waiting for ''Reno 911'' to get canceled. We found out the ''Reno 911'' people are fans, which was amazing because we watched them on ''The State'' years and years ago and then on ''Viva Variety''. What makes me laugh is other people doing cool, original stuff where you can tell they’re not taking orders.	+	'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' ''Arrested Development''.
