Why is this still an inside joke? It's appeared more than 3 times.

It's an inside joke/running gag because it is not a tangible item, or a distinct character or place. - Dr Haggis - Talk 16:56, 19 Dec 2004 (MST)

Rejects, Inside Jokes, and characters are not based soley on numbers of appearences. I mean, The Yello Dello appears in only one cartoon, but she's the star of the cartoon. She isn't a reject. Besides, what would "The Cheat's Head Exploding" be, a character? -Clever Ben

It may be a reference to the urban legend that a chess player's head exploded mid-game, and the video to go with it.--geoguy91 16:49, 22 Feb 2005 (MST)

Er, or the urban legend that drinking soda and eating Pop Rocks makes you explode? I mean, that was pretty clearly the reason behind the first occurrance of The Cheat's head exploding... --Jay 16:53, 22 Feb 2005 (MST)

Happy Fireworks Shot

I can't do images, but I think this page needs a shot of the actual explosion, no? ~~~ 16:05, 4 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Ballad of the Sneak

Does The Sneak's head actually explode here? It seems like there is an explosion emanating from the Victrola's speaker, not from The Sneak's head. - Idiot900 00:42, 5 Jul 2005 (UTC)

On the one hand, you're right that The Sneak's head isn't exploding on its own like The Cheat's head does. On the other, the blackened hair is essentially the same as The Cheat's when his head explodes. --Jay (Talk) 00:49, 5 Jul 2005 (UTC)

nerd.

whose idea was it to use "oscillate" here? it sounds so out of place.
