Martin Van Buren was the eighth President of the United States (1837-1841), and has appeared several times in the Homestar Runner universe. It isn't yet known whether The Cheat and Strong Bad idolize him or if they have something against him.
Coincidentally, Van Buren was the codename to Black Isle's Fallout 3 project. This could be unintended, but since Strong Bad's diskettes often refer to classic video games, it could be a reference.
Appearances
- The Cheat's Character video — The Cheat tosses a bust of Van Buren at the camera.

- space program — The same bust of Van Buren is taped to the front of The Proud Anselmo.
