The '''Cheat Commandos''' are an elite fighting force who, along with a civilian contractor named [[Reynold]],  are dedicated to stopping the evil forces of [[Blue Laser]] (though in rare instances like celebrating [[Thanksgiving]], they call a truce with Blue Laser).

'''Cheat Commandos''' is a media franchise within the [[Homestar Runner universe]]. Inspired by [[The Cheat]]'s [[Firebert]] persona in the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[army]], every known character in the Cheat Commandos universe (except for [[Ser-g-geant Marshie]] and [[Mrs. Commanderson]]) is a The Cheat. Originally introduced as a [[Action Figure Character Variations|toy line]] manufactured by [[Cheap as Free|Cheap as Free Toys]] (all figures costing [[$11.01]] and for ages 3-5), it was quickly spun off into its own [[TV Shows|TV series]], ''Cheat Commandos Adventures''.
 
Mostly written by [[A. Chimendez]], the series features the titular elite fighting force and their civilian contractor [[Reynold]], sworn to protect the world from (or in rare instances like celebrating [[Thanksgiving]], call a truce with) the evil forces of [[Blue Laser]]. The Cheat Commandos' [[Mottos and Slogans|slogan]] is &quot;Rock Rock On!&quot; (although at one point [[Gunhaver]] declared that it would be &quot;Riggidy Roll&quot; from now on).
 
As a parody of commercialized 1980s animated shows (particularly [[G.I. Joe]]), each episode exists to promote the action figures and breakfast cereals, and ends with the jingle &quot;[[Buy all our playsets and toys!!]]&quot;. Even the show's [[Cheat Commandos Theme Song|theme song]] seems more committed to selling the figures than conveying the plot, describing the commandos' actions in vague and noncommittal terms. The characters [[Fourth Wall Breaks|break the fourth wall]] by describing settings as &quot;playsets&quot; and advertising their own merchandise. The parody also extends to the inclusion of teaching aids and public service announcements, an exaggerated patriotic attitude, and occasionally lazy animation.

"Buy All Our Playsets and Toys!"

This article is about the characters. For the short, see Cheat Commandos (toon).

The Cheat Commandos are an elite fighting force who, along with a civilian contractor named Reynold, are dedicated to stopping the evil forces of Blue Laser (though in rare instances like celebrating Thanksgiving, they call a truce with Blue Laser). Every character in the known Cheat Commandos universe is a The Cheat (except for Ser-g-geant Marshie and Mrs. Commanderson), inspired by The Cheat's Firebert persona in the Strong Bad Email army. All of the episodes of the TV series Cheat Commandos Adventures are written by A. Chimendez, with the exception of Movie Night!, which was written by A. Chimendez Jr. Each Cheat Commandos toon seems to parody a different facet of 1980s animated shows, such as the nonstop plugs for action figures and breakfast cereals and rehashing as teaching aids. All of the Cheat Commandos action figures are manufactured by Cheap as Free Toys, cost $11.01, and are for ages 3-5. The Cheat Commandos' slogan is "Rock Rock On!" (although at one point Gunhaver said that it was "Riggidy Roll" from now on). The series frequently encourages the viewer to buy all the playsets and toys.
