| |
| | |
| ''{The Cheat hops onto the King of Town's barbecue grill and closes the lid. Cut back to Strong Bad and Strong Mad in the basement. The tomato-wiener bike is in a heap on the floor.}''
| |
| | |
| '''STRONG BAD:''' I dunno. Maybe he's just going to the ATM machine.
| |
| | |
| '''STRONG MAD:''' THAT'S REDUNDANT!
| |
| | |
| ''{A card comes down that reads "end" with "ATM machine = automatic teller machine machine" written underneath.}''
| |
| | |
| == Fun Facts ==
| |
| | |
| === Explanations ===
| |
| | |
| * The phrase "ATM machine" is an example of [[RAS syndrome]].
| |
| * The word "VIRAL" flashing on the screen at the end of The Cheat's cartoon refers to [[Viral video|viral video]], an online video that gets quick widespread popularity.
| |
| * A [[Freelancer|freelance]] job is one where a person works as an independent contractor, rather than long-term for an employer.
| |
| | |
| === Trivia ===
| |
| | |
| * When Marzipan says "This part's in D", the song is in the key of E major (while most of the song is in E minor). Likewise, the first two notes The Cheat sings for her are E's.
| |
| * The [[YouTube]] description for this video is "A musical glimpse into a day in the life of The Cheat."
| |
| | |
| === Remarks ===
| |
| | |
| * Although it is suggested that The Cheat is exiting the [[House of the Brothers Strong]] at the beginning of the song, the house he is actually seen walking out of is usually depicted as being [[Homestar Runner's House]].
| |
| * The Cheat has been given a new walking animation in this toon.
| |
| * The notes The Cheat sings are substantially higher than the typical range of a baritone.
| |
| * Even though the scoreboard fell to the ground, it appears back on the wall moments later.
| |
| * Although they are indicating that "ATM Machine" is redundant, the [[Downloads]] menu uses PIN#, another case of RAS Syndrome.
| |
| | |
| === Goofs ===
| |
| | |
| * After the song cuts back to Strong Bad and Strong Mad, Strong Bad had his face off of his mask for a single frame.
| |
| * In the scene where The Cheat goes to the barbecue grill, the shadow from the grill doesn't move when the Cheat closes it.
| |
| | |
| === Inside References ===
| |
| | |
| * The Cheat is seen [[Flying|flying]] and [[The Cheat Smiling|smiling]] at the same time.
| |
| ** The Cheat smiles twice in this cartoon. The second one is a much bigger smile than the first one.
| |
| * The Ice cream containers read icéd cream, which is The Cheat's attempt at [[-èd]].
| |
| * Marzipan's choir books read "HIMS", a [[Homophones|homophone]] for the more appropriate "Hymns". This spelling also appeared in [[Happy Dethemberween]].
| |
| * The Cheat steals Homestar's [[Melonade]].
| |
| * The Cheat lights the rim of the [[Basketballs|basketball]] hoop with the [[BMW Lighter|BMW lighter]].
| |
| * This short begins with an [[Interrupted Conversations|interrupted conversation]].
| |
| * A [[Limozeen]] flyer can be seen on the telephone pole.
| |
| * Marzipan's board says "Marzipan's [[Not X|Not]]-Dumb Choir".
| |
| * The bulging stomach seen on the ice cream containers in The Cheat's cartoon resembles one partially seen in [[your funeral]].
| |
| * The phrase "whatchu gonna did?" was used in Homestar's speech as the Jack 'Em Up Kid in [[yes, wrestling]]. The term "[[Portmanteaus|gymatorium]]" was also used in that email.
| |
| * The "i" in "LOADiNG" is [[Lowercase i's|lowercase]].
| |
| * The [[Trading Cards|trading card]] of The Cheat's "Lay-up drills" is similar to the trading card of [[Pom Pom]] as an ABA basketball in [[different town]].
| |
| * The Cheat's red [[Headbands|headband]] resembles [[Fightgar]]'s.
| |
| | |
| === Real-World References ===
| |
| | |
| * The song bears some resemblance to "Little Birdie" from the [[Peanuts]] special ''[[A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving]]''. The erratic path and trailing dotted line when The Cheat flies off of the brick wall is reminiscent of the subject of that song, [[Woodstock (Peanuts)|Woodstock]].
| |
| * The mattress fire bears some resemblance to the Springfield Tire Fire from [[The Simpsons]].
| |
| * The conversation in the beginning about paunchberries and motorcycles is a reference to the TV show [[CHiPs]], in which one of the main characters was named "Ponch", and in the show he was a Motorcycle Cop.
| |
| | |
| === Fast Forward ===
| |
| | |
| * The Tomatocycle was seen again in [[A Decemberween Mackerel]].
