Bad Sportsmanship

From Homestar Runner Wiki

A few times here and again, some of the characters in the Homestar Runner Universe show poor sportsmanship. Such can include yelling at other characters, cheating, or other. The Cheat has shown this by, of course, cheating mostly for Strong Bad. Although this has occurred often, it's mainly from Strong Bad and The Cheat.
