== Easter Eggs == *Click on "Rock, Rock On" on the final screen to see all the toys again. Click on each toy to see it alone. === Fun Facts === *This is the second time that Firebert has appeared. *The "Cheat Commandos Adventures" cartoon is a lampoon of the 1980's GI Joe Cartoons, which were very poorly disguised attempts to hide the fact they were just 30 minute commercials. *This cartoon is loaded with exceptions to the once-solid rule of only mentioning "Cheat" with "The" in front of it. *When the commandos are at "R&R", they are next to "Xtra-cold-ones", which is a reference to property of ones *All Cheat Commando toys are $11.01 and for children 3-5. *The Cheat Commando action figure packages are the same design as in Strong Bad Email Action Figure and Strong Bad email army. *When the action figures come up, the Blue Laser figure is not listed. *When it names off the vehicles, the helicopter isn't mentioned. *The Cheat Commandos are copyright 1986 Cheap as Free Toys. *Silent 'But Deadly' Rip's voice in the TV show is the same as the guy in the truck show the Cheat is watching in the Strong Bad email "priveleges." *The helicopter sound in the beginning (kind of a dop dop dop dop dop dop thing) is just like the The Cheat Skycam Traffic helicopter sounds. * I beleive that the words 'Cool Glasses' on Gunhaver's package is a refrence to the 'Theme to Dangeresque 2: This Time it's not Dangeresque 1' on the Strong Bad Sings CD *Here is what the screen in the "Cheat Commandos Adventures" cartoon read: <code> Operation: Ocean blow T-minus: GO!! </code> The 2nd screen read: <code> Operation: Don't crush ourselves T-minus: Total </code> And after Firebert crushes some lackeys, the screen reads: <code> Operation: Don't crush ourselves FAILED!! </code> *On the toy packages the word commmandos is coloured with the Strong Badia colours. *Ripberger is the name of the magistrate in Thy Dungeonman 2. *Ripberger is also the name of the character voiced by Mark Hamil in the Lucas Arts game "Full Throttle" (although I suspect his name is spelled differently). *The names of all the action figures (and whatever captions are on their boxes): **Gunhaver ***Stylin' Coat ***Cool Glasses! ***Has a Gun! ***Probably from Texas! **Firebert ***Yellow Dog!! ***Black Hat! ***Not A Good Commando Name!! ***That One Little Guy!! **Silent Rip ***But Deadly!! ***Two(2) Pockets! ***Communicates Via That Microphone Attached to His Helmet! ***Same Size As The Rest!! **Crackotage ***Action!! ***Museum Quality! ***Master Locksmith, Perhaps! ***Listens To Jazz!! **Fightgar ***Not the Most Popular!! ***Red Cloth! ***Probably Has A Raspy Voice!! ***Needs To Shave!! **Reynold ***Civilian Contractor!! ***Fake Tie! ***Favorite Drink: Milk!! ***Not A Blackbelt!! **Reinforcements ***The One That Coach Z Bought!! ***Sweet Camos! ***Justice Rocket Backpack!! ***Hard to See!! **Foxface ***Lady Type! ***Natural haircolor! ***Totally Has It Together! ***Not One of The Guys!! **Ripberger ***Stealthy!! ***Black "Gloves!" ***He's Not Wearing Pajamas! ***This One Wears Red! **Flashfight ***In Charge of Stuff!! ***Three Medals! ***Almost Sounds Like "Flashlight" ***Five Buttons! *When the Cheat Commandos are marching in the T.V. show, some of them walk by twice. *The title of page is Compy 386!, which is the title of the recent Strong Bad Email pages. *Here is the Cheat Commandos theme song: Cheat Commandos, maybe fighting for freedom, And each is sold separately! Commandos, they're probably battling evil, Buy all our playsets and toys! *When the pie tin falls on top of the Blue Lazor action figures, one is left standing. *On Crackotage's package, it says "Museum Quality". This is a reference to the packaged version of SB's peanut action figure from the Strong Bad Email Action Figure. *Gunhaver calls the "Action Figure Storage Truck" by the wrong name. He says vehicle instead of truck. *It is followed by Cheat Commandos...O's *The caption "Yellow Dog!!" on Firebert's action figure package is a reference to something Homestar says in sbemail#93 "army". *Foxface, the token female commando, is obviously modeled after the GI Joe character, Scarlett, whose mantra is "I’m not just one of the ‘guys;’ I’m better.", according to the [GI Joe website]. According to Foxface's packaging, she is "Not One of The Guys!!" *This "commercial" obeys the rules of all action figure commercials: the hands manipulating the toys must be visible when the toys appear to move. Strong Bad and Coach Z's hands are visible, and since Homestar has no apparent arms, his knees are prominently displayed. |
