Fun Facts
Explanations
- Fhqwhgads originated in the Strong Bad Email i love you.
Trivia
- A "Live from West Reykjavik" version of this song can be found on Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits.
- Clicking the Back button at the end of the video will always take you to Main Page 15, The Cheat's main page.
- The Visor Robot's voice is Macintosh's Zarvox.
- The beat The Cheat uses (minus the handclap) is a sample from James Brown's "Funky Drummer", the basis for countless rap songs. The "Woo!" sample is mostly likely a reference to Rob Base's hit "It Takes Two", which used the same sound effect on the same beat.
Remarks
- During the video, Strong Bad provides the voice for his own character. Normally, The Cheat provides the voices for all characters in cartoons that he creates.
- Even after the Visor Robot's lasers stop, the laser sound is still made.
- This is the only time so far that Strong Bad has left outright positive feedback for a Powered by the Cheat cartoon.
Inside References
- For a split second, as the Robot's head opens to reveal Strong Bad, the words "come on" are replaced on screen by the word "lemke."
- When Strong Bad comes out of the robot he is unmistakably holding the Big Knife.
Real-World References
- The lyric "I asked my friend Joe, I asked my friend Jake" is accompanied by portraits of brothers John F. Kennedy and Robert F. Kennedy.
- The yellow and white, duck-looking things are taken from the old Atari 2600 game Adventure.
- During one of the times the screen is flashing, a profile view of a head can be easily noticed. The head is that of Abraham Lincoln.
Fast Forward
- In the Strong Bad Email your friends, Strong Bad hits Bubs over the head with a Gold Record (such as are awarded when an album or single sells a certain number of copies) titled "Everybody To The Limit".
