== Biography ==
'''Pom Pom''' (also spelled '''Pom-Pom''') is a [[Pom]] from the [[Isle of Pom]]. Pom Pom, like all Poms, appears to be inflated. His body consists of a yellow sphere with an orange stripe. His oval head, and triangluar arms and feet are the same color orange. Pom Pom's eyes are black ovals and he has [[Lack of Visible Body Parts|no visible mouth]]. He talks by making [[Lack of Intelligible Speech|bubbly noises]] and can absorb objects into his body for storage, suggesting that he is made of some sort of gelatinous substance. He is also quite skilled in [[Wikipedia:Martial Art|martial arts]] (see [[Pom Pom#Fighting Skills|below]]).

Pom Pom is [[Homestar Runner]]'s [[Homestar Runner and Pom Pom's Relationship|best friend]], but he sometimes [[Strong Bad and Pom Pom's Relationship|hangs out]] with [[Strong Bad]] as well. He has such an open mind that he sometimes spends time with unpopular characters such as [[The King of Town]] and [[The Poopsmith]]. Pom Pom is often seen talking on [[Cell Phones|his cell phone]] to his many [[Pom Pom's girls|girls]], and he keeps track of their contact information in his [[Pom Pilot]]. His parents' names are [[General and Fraulein Pom Pom]], as seen in an Easter egg in the email [[pom pom]]. Pom Pom was going to have a dog named [[Trivia Time]], but this concept seems to have been abandoned. Pom Pom is also "the big cheese" at [[The Office]] as shown in [[from work]].

''{'''Page Title''': The Most Mackinest!!}'' ''{'''Place:''' [[The Field]]}''

''{Pom Pom is talking on his phone.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Here go Pom Pom! ''{to Pom Pom}'' What's up, Pom Pom? ''{Pom Pom gestures to his phone}'' Oh, sorry. ''{to camera}'' Pom Pom is definitely the mack around here. And he's my best friend. He's gotten me out of some pretty tight jams. And some pretty tight pants! But that only happened once. ''{to Pom Pom}'' Hey, Pom Pom! Yo—

''{Pom Pom looks at him angrily and points to his phone.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, right. I forgot already. He's probably talking to some fine honey on his celly.

''{Pom Pom gets out his wallet and shows the camera some pictures of his girlfriends, then tries to put it back in later but a part of it is sticking out, which he shoves it in with more force.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' About to get her phone number. Or maybe he already has it. He gets digits like every single day. ''{to Pom Pom}'' Isn't that right, Pom Pom?

''{Irritated, Pom Pom snaps his phone shut and bubbles angrily at Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, sorry again, man. My bad. I wasn't trying to step to you or anything. We're still cool.

''{Pom Pom sighs, puts his phone away, shakes his head and bounces away.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Pom Pom and I are still cool.
===Fun Facts===
*Homestar claims Pom Pom helped him out of some [[Homestar Runner's Pants|tight pants]].

== Fighting Skills ==
[[Image:MartialArtsPom-Pom.PNG|thumb|right|160px|Kung-Fu skills.]]
Pom Pom is skilled in the martial arts and appears to enjoy fighting.

The first instance of Pom Pom fighting is inside a dojo from the [[Theme Song Video]] where he shows off his moves; this is broadened on later in the email [[pom pom]] where he gets a [[Nintendo|1-Up]] by severely pummeling Strong Bad. In the [[pom pom#Commentary Transcript|commentary]] for the same email, [[The Brothers Chaps]] discussed wanting to make a side scrolling Pom Pom fighting game. His skills are seen again in [[personal favorites]] where he got into a "knife fight" with [[Coach Z]]. In [[Summer Short Shorts]], Pom Pom shows off his skills with a [[Wikipedia:Bō|Bō]] and disappears with a smoke bomb. In [[Dangeresque Roomisode 1: Behind the Dangerdesque]], he is seen as a take-out technician who kicks an old take-out box of Chinese food to unstick it from Dangeresque's safe.

*"The Most Mackinest" is a phrase taken from the [[Wikipedia:Beastie Boys|Beastie Boys]]' song "Shake Your Rump."
*Pom Pom is the only main character whose [[parents]] have been seen on the site, in a picture in [[Pom Pom, Too]]. They are differently-colored Poms in the picture, but Strong Bad hypothetically envisions them as a [[Pom Pom's Hypothetical Family|File Cabinet]] in [[Family Resemblence]].
*Pom Pom's ringtone is a clip of DJ Teh Cheat's remix of [[The Geddup Noise]], as heard in [[technology]].

[[Image:Cool tapes tour.png|thumb|250px|The June 2006 tour]]

[[Cool Tapes]] is a band formed by [[Marzipan]] in the toon [[Cool Things]]. It takes its name and logo from some [[graffiti]] [[Homestar Runner]] wrote on Marzipan's wall. When Homestar went to go fetch some [[paint]] to cover it up, Marzipan tells Homestar he "took too long" to get the paint, and she, [[The Cheat]], and [[Strong Mad]] formed the band while he was gone. Its members consist of Marzipan on guitar/vocals, Strong Mad on bass, and The Cheat on drums. Currently, they have seven known songs, but only four titles have been verified. The band went on tour through many bead shops and topiary gardens during June 2006 (according to [[Weclome Back]]), where [[Homsar]] sold "StEVEN INCHES" at their merchandise table for [[pi]] dollars.

A Cool Tapes T-Shirt was added to the [[Store]] on July 3, 2006.

When the band competed in the [[Baddest of the Bands|Battle Royale of the Bands]], they lost after Marzipan wrote a song about the "not very nice" things she suspected judges [[Limozeen]] of performing.

Blue Laser Commander

[[Image:20050602 weekly sketchbook blue laser ungurait.PNG|thumb|right|220px|CRUSH THE CHEAT COMMANDOS?]]

The '''Blue Laser Commander''' is the evil mastermind behind [[Blue Laser]], an evil terrorist-type organization. His sworn enemies are the [[Cheat Commandos]]. (Despite this, he still invited the [[Cheat Commandos]] to dinner in [[Let us give TANKS!]].) He formulates many [[Blue Laser#Evil Schemes|evil schemes]] in a constant attempt to crush the Cheat Commandos, to no avail. He has a high-pitched, screechy British accent (provided by the [[Guy Who Does The Bad Guy's Voice]]) that sounds similar to the [[Teen Girl Squad]] female voices. The only differences between his uniform and that of his [[Blue Laser Minion|minions]] are that his patches are red while the minions' patches are blue, and that he lacks a visor. He instead has an eye patch that switches sides whenever he turns around, due to some kind of [[:Image:Physiology of Blue Laser Commander.PNG|deformity in his skull]].

He is well disposed to extreme exclamations of joy or frustration, to wit: "FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC!", "Well that's JUST GREAT!!", "I JUST HATE YOU SO MUCH!", "WHAT THE CRAP?!?!", "[[Dislike of Old People|Old ladies SUCK!]]",
and "THE MERE SIGHT OF YOU MAKES ME WANT TO WRETCH!"

Blue Laser Commander is a parody of [[Wikipedia:Cobra Commander|Cobra Commander]] (as the Cheat Commandos are a takeoff of [[Wikipedia:G.I. Joe|G.I.Joe]]), especially the following traits:
*His partially obscured face covering some kind of blemish
*His uniform that is similar to yet distinct from his henchmen
*His screechy voice
*His volatile, psychotic temperament

According to one [[Sketchbook 2005#SK-2005-06-02|Sketchbook]] update, Blue Laser Commander (or possibly every member of Blue Laser) was originally going to be an [[Rejected Characters#The Unguraits|Ungurait]], but that idea was abandoned.

The Blue Laser Commander is one of the Cheat Commandos featured in the first Cheat Commandos [[Store Toys|figurine set]].
