This is a common phrase and is not used in an unusual manner. The one possible expection is part-time job where he says that you get a free cup of ice with purchase of another one of equal or lesser value, meaning that the free thing you get is of GREATER value than what you paid for. Even that one instance doesn't seem THAT unusual though, it seems more like Strong Bad is just half-tweesing it and kinda just jumbling his lines. — Defender1031*Talk 01:59, 15 December 2020 (UTC)

No one ever says "equal or lesser value" as far as I've heard my whole life. Wolf O'Donnel 05:59, 15 December 2020 (UTC)
Ok. I guess I must've been confused. Go ahead and delete. Wolf O'Donnel 06:05, 15 December 2020 (UTC)
I think it's easy to miss how non-standard the usage of the phrase is here. Please refer to Defender1031 of two years ago. ;) I myself had to look at this a few times before gaining a better understanding of what was going on. The part-time job entry is the same: the goal of such a sale is to guarantee a minimum purchase value, not a maximum. Even the Cool Things entry by itself is weird: the usual practice is that you'd be able to exchange a return for something of equivalent value at the very least! --Stux 08:48, 15 December 2020 (UTC)
Wasn't there a cartoon where they're looking through a graveyard and Bubs points out a dead relative who invented the term? Wolf O'Donnel 00:27, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
I think you're thinking of Most in the Graveyard where Bubs says "There's my great-great-grandpappy's cousin Harold! He discovered the bait and switch! Ooh, and this is his brother Mort! He invented 'no money down'." This phrase doesn't appear. — Defender1031*Talk 00:40, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
Why am I cursed with Mandela all of the sudden? Wolf O'Donnel 03:39, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

I agree with DeF. This should be deleted. -50.234.189.45 11:34, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
