Puppet Homestar and The Cheat

Puppet Stuff on the Toons Page

Puppet Stuff refers to live action video clips starring various characters as puppets, frequently featuring human guests. For example, the Puppet Jams feature the Homestar puppet rocking out with They Might Be Giants. The Cheat puppet used in some early clips was the Kick The Cheat plush doll that was for sale in the Store. The Homestar, Strong Bad, and regular The Cheat puppets, however, are one-of-a-kind items, created by Lucky Yates and Chris Brown.

Before the Post-Flash Site Update, when clicked in the Toons Menu, or on the main page (when they were on the "What's New?" button or with the Random Toon button) they would be shown over the top of the page. But now when clicked, they are shown on a separate page with a white background, except for Dangeresque: Puppet Squad, which is played in front of a spotlight background. The background used to be this image as a backdrop.
