Kicking The Cheat

From Homestar Runner Wiki

Although Homestar Runner was the first to kick The Cheat in the Original Book, Strong Bad seems to like kicking The Cheat quite a lot. The phenomenon originated in little animal, where the senders asked Strong Bad what he would do if a little animal came up to him. As evidenced by caper, Strong Bad seems to see kicking The Cheat as a mutual act of kindness, but The Cheat doesn't agree. Strong Bad admits to having regretted kicking The Cheat during the email do over, but he quickly reconsiders when Homestar dressed as The Cheat takes The Cheat's place. This act of cruelty toward the little guy eventually resulted in a plushie and game.
