Transcript
{While music plays with The Cheat's mumblings serving as the only lyrics, various drawings of The Cheat flash in a box in the middle of the screen. Lots of smaller The Cheat drawings are seen in the background. The Cheats in the background eventually turn around and upside-down in time to the music. Then the background flashes several colors, and the box with the main The Cheat drawings bounces and moves around the screen in time to the music. It finally returns to the center as the song ends with "done." written in it, and the background completely black. "back" and "do'gain?" appear below.}
Easter Eggs
- Click on the rapidly changing drawing to see a ghosted image of The Cheat appear over them.
Fun Facts
Trivia
- This is the first toon without any dialogue.
- There are 536 frames altogether; however, 36 of these frames are the beginning "loading" screen and the "done" screen at the end. Each frame that isn't a "loading" or a "done" screen contains one The Cheat; therefore, there are exactly 500 The Cheats.
- There are 407 The Cheats in the background, including ones partially covered by the border or occasionally obscured by the center box.
- Including the The Cheats visible off to the sides of the screen (when viewing the Flash file), the total number of The Cheats is equal to 480.
Remarks
- Some of the drawings of The Cheat look similar to his old Mario Paint version.
Goofs
- The "The" is not capitalized in the page title, even though it should be, since it's part of The Cheat's name.
Glitches
- Originally, playing the toon right from the Toons Menu caused the Flash file to appear straight on the menu. Once The Cheats in the background started to move, they sometimes exceeded the black borders and covered the Toons Menu. This was fixed later in the day.
Inside References
- The page title, "A-Lotsa the Cheatsa!", is the second use of "Cheatsa", the first being the Cheatsa Parties Easter egg in mile.
- The drum loop used in this short is almost identical to that used in the Theme Song Video.
- The background used (and the movement thereof) in this is reminiscent of a clip in the The Cheat Theme Song video.
- The phrase "shimmie and shake" in the Toons Menu description is a reference to 20X6 vs. 1936, where Old-Timey Homestar tells Stinkoman how to dance.
