In the Halloween toons, the characters dress up in costumes in which to go 'trick or treating'. A lot of these costumes are icons or celebrities from the 1970s, 80s and 90s, leaving most of the characters unable to identify who a particular character is supposed to be.
This is put quite frankly by The King of Town in Halloween Potion-ma-jig where he says: I wish you'd dress up as something I could recognize! Pop culture... mumble grumble!

As it turned out, The Cheat could understand some of what she was saying, including something he was offended by (which Marzipan thought was something else, which might imply she can speak "Cheatese").
