Crackotage
From Homestar Runner Wiki
Crackotage is a member of the Cheat Commandos. He is a jet pilot (he's "that guy that flies that plane") and possibly a master locksmith. His name implies that his main roles are sabotage and infiltration. He saved Gunhaver, Silent Rip, Fightgar, and Firebert from exhaustion when they were in the secret desert by dropping Cheat Commandos...O's from his plane.
He usually speaks in rhyming couplets (usually ending with a laugh), in what is almost certainly a parody of Roadblock from the cartoon version of G.I. Joe (of which "Cheat Commandos" is a parody), and Blaster from the original Transformers cartoon, who also did this. It's worth noting, however, that rather than actually sounding a lot like Roadblock, Crackotage's voice is very similar to that of Jazz from "Transformers" (voiced by Scatman Crothers). While Jazz didn't speak in rhyme, this too seems intentional, given the label on his toy packaging, "listens to jazz". Another "Transformers" reference could be how his airplane resembles Starscream.
Crackotage is one of the Cheat Commandos featured in the first Cheat Commandos figurine set.
In The Next Epi-Snowed, Crack Stuntman insisted on providing Crackotage's voice instead of Gunhaver's because he liked "the rhyming guy's" lines better. This was explained in the cartoon by Reynold's financial experiment backfiring and switching the two character's voices.
