A combination radio/tape player, the Ghetto Blastro has appeared twice. The first time was in The Luau, where Strong Bad used it to play music for his party. The second time was in A Jorb Well Done, where Coach Z put Strong Sad's audio tape into it to learn how to say "job."
- Various versions of this device - identifiable by such features as the oversize speakers or the LED equalizer lights - have appeared in Everybody to the Limit and as 'the jambox' in Strong Bad Email flashback and in Puppet Stuff Everybody Knows It.
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).
