Transcript
{You see a wall with a purple door and a giant The Cheat guitar, in real life. A silhouette of Strong Bad comes in.}
STRONG BAD: The Cheat! I need you to help me open up this can of peas! {Surprised noises} The Cheat! You turned into, like, a giant guitar! You never told me you could do that! Wait a minute... what good is a giant guitar if you're not a giant... guitar..-ist? Why couldn't you turn into, like... a Semi! Or at least a tape player. You know, like: Ke-ka-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-kokah! I don't think I like you like this. You're way taller than me. And way... guitarer than me.
{The Cheat's silhouette enters}
The Cheat: {The Cheat noises sounds like 'Hey what's that?'}
Strong Bad: What the - The Cheat! You mean you can't turn in to a giant guitar after all? Then what good are you?
The Cheat: {The Cheat noises. We hear a pop.}
Strong Bad: Hey! You opened my can of peas! Thanks, The Cheat! Now let's go pour these on that ant-hill I found.
The Cheat: {Looks at guitar and makes stance like guitar, probably trying to transform, makes The Cheat noises and walks away.}
Easter Eggs
- Move your mouse over the Guitar to see a message: The Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame was nice enough to ask us to paint a giant fiberglass guitar for an exhibition they're doing. 'The Cheatar' will be on display in Cleveland for a while, then auctioned off for charity with the other giant guitars.
- At the end of the toon, click on the door to see a picture of Gary from Limozeen chillin with 'The Cheatar.' Keep clicking to see other pictures and finally a clip of Larry playing a solo on this big guitar.
Fun Facts
- The 10-foot-tall fiberglass Fender� Stratocaster� from this short was created for a program called GuitarMania. Through this program, hundreds of these guitars are creatively transformed into works of art. The sculptures are then sold at a live auction at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. Proceeds benefit The United Way and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum's Educational Fund.
- It is unknown what the final bid on the Cheatar was, but bidding started at $5,000.
- The Cheatar doesn't have any strings.
- Gary's chord progression during that video goes like this: GGDCGDCDG
- When Strong Bad mentions the Semi and the tape player, he is referring to Optimus Prime, and Soundwave of the Transformers. He also imitates the "transformation" sound, pronouncing it "Ke-ka-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-kokah."
- The font of the "Comin' up..." Loading screen is reminiscent of the logo of Metal band Iron Maiden.
