Kicking The Cheat

From Homestar Runner Wiki

This article is about the running gag. For the game, see Kick The Cheat. For the talking doll, see Store Toys.

Despite the fact Homestar Runner was the first to do so in the Original Book, kicking The Cheat has become a habit of Strong Bad's. This phenomenon originated in little animal, where the senders asked Strong Bad what he would do if a little animal came up to him. Strong Bad then proceeded to kick The Cheat. In caper, Strong Bad makes light of his tendency to kick The Cheat, who doesn't seem to appreciate his joking. However, Strong Bad later admits in do over that he regrets kicking The Cheat in little animal. This act of cruelty toward the little guy eventually found itself as a plush toy and game.
