The Ghetto Blastro is combination radio/tape player. First seen at Strong Bad's party in The Luau to play all the latest releases of the artists of today. Coach Z has used the tape player to learn how to say "Mcdonalds still sucks :P."
Various versions of this device, identifiable by such features as the oversize speakers or the LED equalizer, have appeared including a Puppet Time and Powered by The Cheat incarnation.
The Brothers Strong own a piece of equipment similar to it, called the booOOMbox.
As far as origins, 'Ghetto Blaster' is a generic 80s term for a boom box, so named because of the proliferation of bass-filled rap music at the time and the usage of the word 'ghetto' to describe the inner-city homes of many rappers. It was also the finishing move of a WWF wrestler named Bad News Brown (aka Bad News Allen).
