Fun Facts
Trivia
- The original run of Kick The Cheat dolls were described as "going extinct" when the doll had nearly sold out in December 2007.
- "The Stinkt of Exbrinction" is a spoonerism for "the brink of extinction".
- The Compy used by Shark-Tooth Bubs is a Tomy Tutor Play Computer.
Remarks
- As the Homestar Runner puppet does not have legs, a Homestar Puppet Plush was presumably used in the scene where Homestar kicks The Cheat.
Inside References
- The Cheat is once again compared to a cheese and an anvil. He was previously compared to both in quick succession in the Strong Bad Email huttah!.
- The cross-section of The Cheat is adapted from an illustration of the bisected Blue Laser Commander seen in Blue Laserdisc Challenge.
- Homestar Runner similarly rolled on the ground and wept "I don't know what I'm doing with my life!" in crying.
- The zippered pouch is labeled "Zipper'd".
- The open zipper talks in the same voice as the incision in Kick The Cheat Voicebox Replacement Surgery.
YouTube Version
- The YouTube version is titled "Kick The Cheat Plush Returns!"
- Its description reads:
