Easter Eggs

  • Click on "Shady Missionaries" to see a Taranchula album of the same name.
  • When Homestar says "The last time I played a Sega tape was in a waffle", click on him to bring up a picture of a waffle iron with a Genesis-like controller and cartridge attached to it.
  • At the end, click on "Tito the Tophatician's" to see a video clip:
{The Cheat is standing in front of a sign that bears the Cheat Commandos logo and reads "Meet TV's Firebert!" After a long pause with cricket sounds, he takes out a fine tip permanent marker and replaces "Firebert" with "Trogdor." A large crowd of people gathers around.}
