From Homestar Runner Wiki
"Those loonies are gonna blow up the ocean!"
Silent Rip is a member of the Cheat Commandos. He is a stealth-type person whose main roles seem to be reconnaissance and sniping. In his own words, "[sneaking up on people] is what I do best." He has the Loud Noise Silencer (which appears to be an ordinary pillow). When he first appeared as an action figure, his jacket was brown and buttons green. They have since been reversed.
His name is derived from an American slang term for expelling intestinal gas--to "rip one" is to fart. To make a "silent rip" would be to produce a fart without its telltale audio accompaniment. Silent Rip's motto, toy accessory, and "But Deadly!!" trait help define this playful reference ("silent but deadly" is a common slang descriptor for a "silent rip").
"Silent Rip, you snuck up on me!"
He features fairly prominently in Cheat Commandos Adventures, although his alleged talent for stealth has yet to be displayed. Appropriately, Rip tosses a smoke grenade during Commandos in the Classroom, a device that both encourages stealth and releases a cloud of gaseous material.
Homestar Runner owns the Silent Rip action figure.
