Bongo: Extra, frivilous information! :D

Bongo has watched [[Homestar runner]] cartoons for some amount of time. I don't know how long. My brother showed me many of the more popular cartoons when I was younger (about 7) but that was when I couldn't type well, and didn't use the computer. I checked it out once in a while later on and I started watching avidly late 2008. I like to attempt flash animation, but honestly, the [[powered by the Cheat]] cartoons are better than mine. I'm still going to do it though. Whatchu gonna do? Yeah, that's stuck in my head. The Cheeeeaaaat, whatchu gonna do? Okay, that's stayin' there. Like, forever. What else do you want from me? I play the saxophone, okay? Jeez.

'''Page Title:''' Tomatocycle Season 1 on DVD!

== Transcript ==
''{Open on Strong Mad and Strong Bad sitting on the couch in the basement.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' He said ''he'' thought paunchberry sounded like a ''disgusting'' ice cream flavor. But ''I'' beg to differ.

'''STRONG MAD:''' I THOUGHT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT MOTORCYCLES!

''{Strong Mad pulls out a bike made of wieners and tomato slices; cut to a close-up of the bike and then back to the two on the couch. The Cheat enters screen right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, we probably were. Hey, The Cheat!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises, humming a tune}''

''{The Cheat exits screen left}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Man, that The Cheat. ''{bass line starts in the background}'' It's like, what is he doing, you know? I mean, where's he goin' to?

''{Cut to The Cheat going down the stairs outside the house.}''

'''SINGER:''' The Cheat, where you goin' to? 
:: And once you get there, whatchu think you gonna do? 
:: Checking up on a mattress fire 
:: That you started couple days ago. 
:: Singin' baritone in Marzipan's choir 
:: (But please don't let Strong Bad know) 
:: Nobody knows...

''{Zoom out on a slate that reads "Marzipan's not-dumb choir" to reveal Marzipan entering from screen right, wearing a robe and a book marked "HIMS". The Cheat and Cardboard Homestar are similarly dressed on screen left.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' This part's in D.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{tries to sing, but sounds more like a growl; Cardboard Homestar's head moves}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Ooh, that's not D.

''{close-up of The Cheat}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{sings again, higher pitch}''

''{Cut back to two-shot.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' How about C?

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{even higher, angry The Cheat noises}''

''{The Cheat throws the book, knocking down Cardboard Homestar. Marzipan looks scared. The Cheat removes his robe.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Ehh, close enough.

''{Marzipan starts singing along with the singer.}''

'''SINGER and MARZIPAN:''' The Cheat, where you goin' to?

''{The Cheat exits behind Marzipan screen right. Cut to a shot of Homestar walking in the field.}''

'''SINGER and HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' And once you get there, whatchu think you gonna do?

'''SINGER:''' Hitchin' a ride on Homestar's leg 
::Stealin' all his melonade

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey!

'''SINGER:''' Get a freelance animation job—

''{Powered By The Cheat, on [[Monosodium Dreams]]:}''

'''POWERED BY THE CHEAT STRONG BAD:''' —and make the best cartoon that's ever been made!

''{Full-screen scene of a Powered by The Cheat Bubs' Concession Stand, marked "dub's C"; The Cheat starts singing backup.}''

'''POWERED BY THE CHEAT COACH Z:''' Hey there, Bubs in the store. Paunchberry's was a new ice cream!

'''POWERED BY THE CHEAT BUBS:''' I can't even reach the top.

''{Bubs waves towards a stack of ice cream containers that reaches into the sky. Cut to The Cheat, wearing a shirt that reads "Paunch", Strong Mad, smiling and the word "Berry" on his singlet, and Strong Bad, "icéd cream" written on him, dancing in front of a wall of ice cream containers}''

'''POWERED BY THE CHEAT COACH Z:''' Hey, it's the paunchberry ice cream dancing team.

''{The Cheat stops singing.}''

'''SINGER:''' The Cheat—

'''POWERED BY THE CHEAT STRONG BAD:''' ''{overlapping}'' Viral.

''{Cut back to regular action; The Cheat walks along the top of the brick wall and then flies off the end with a dashed path trailing him.}''

'''SINGER:''' —where you goin' to? 
::And once you get there, whatchu think you gonna do? 
::Headin' down to the gymnasium 
::Gonna do some lay-up drills 
::I'm not sure if that's something you would normally do 
::But you should brush up on your basketball skills
::With some lay-up drills
::Lay-up drills

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{angry The Cheat noise}''

'''SINGER:''' ''{softly}'' No lay-up drills?

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{angry The Cheat noise}''

''{The Cheat moves his arm, the scoreboard falls, and the room gets darker.}''

'''SINGER:''' Flaming lay-up drills?

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{excited The Cheat noise}''

'''SINGER:''' The Cheat likes flaming lay-up drills 
::I'm glad we compromised with flaming lay-up drills 
::Ah, f'rllz, oh tell me what's the dealz 
::You got the wills, the skills, the flaming lay-up drills 
::The Cheat, where you goin' to? 
::And once you get there, whatchu think you gonna do? 
::The Cheat, whatchu gonna did 
::The day is done so won'tchu close that barbecue... lid

''{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.}''

'''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 [[Wikipedia:RAS syndrome|RAS syndrome]]. The "M" already stands for "machine".
* The word "VIRAL" flashing on the screen at the end of The Cheat's cartoon refers to [[Wikipedia:Viral video|viral video]], an online video that gets quick widespread popularity.

=== 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.
* [[Strong Sad]] is under the burning pile of mattreses.

=== 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.

=== Inside References ===
*The Cheat is seen [[flying]] and [[The Cheat Smiling|smiling]] at the same time.
*The [[ATM]] is mentioned.
*The Cheat's animation advertises paunchberry [[ice cream]].
*The Cheat is in the choir with [[Cardboard Homestar]].
*The Ice cream containers read icéd cream, which is similar to [[-èd]].
*Marzipan's choir books read "HIMS", a [[homophone]] for the more appropriate "Hymns". This spelling also appeared in [[Happy Dethemberween]].
*The Cheat steals Homestar's [[Melonade]].
*The Cheat practices [[basketball]].
*The Cheat lights the rim of the basketball hoop with the [[BMW lighter]].
*This short begins with an [[interrupted conversation]].
*A [[Limozeen]] flyer can be seen on the telephone pole.
*[[Duplicate Characters|Duplicate The Cheats]] are seen in the lay-up drills scene.
*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?" comes from Homestar's speech as the Jack 'Em Up Kid in [[yes, wrestling]].
*The "i" in "LOADiNG" is [[Lowercase i's|lowercase]].

===Real World References===
*Strong Mad's confusion about motorcycles in a conversation about Paunchberry ice cream is a reference to the '70s TV series [[Wikipedia:CHiPs|CHiPs]]. Francis 'Ponch' Poncherello played by [[Wikipedia:Erik Estrada|Erik Estrada]] was a main character on the series about the adventures of two California Highway Patrol motorcycle officers.
*The song is strongly reminiscent of "Little Birdie" from the [[Peanuts]] special [[Wikipedia:A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving|''A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving'']].
**The erratic path and trailing dotted line when The Cheat flies off of the brick wall is reminiscent of Peanuts character [[Wikipedia:Woodstock (Peanuts)|Woodstock]].
