"Heh heh... geez. Sorry to laugh, that was just... rough. Ouch!"
Mortal Kombat is a fantasy-themed fighting game series that came to prominence in the early 90s. Featuring visuals inspired by Chinese mythology and (for the time) highly realistic graphics, the series is also notorious for its intense graphic violence. Being video game fans, The Brothers Chaps have occasionally made reference to the series.
Appearances

- 8-Bit is Enough — When summoning Boxer Joe, Strong Bad sometimes says "Round 1, FIGHT!" the same way the announcer does in Mortal Kombat.
- Hremail 2000 (Easter egg) — When Homestar and Shadow Homestar battle, the gruff announcer says "Round One, FIGHT!" as in Mortal Kombat.
