Poorly Powered.

A page made using Powered by The Cheat technology.

Page title: "Powered by The Cheat"

Toons - A circle with a slash through it appears over Homestar.
Games - Homestar Runner spits when he says games and a blinking games logo with lightning flashes behind him.
Characters - A boat that says "wear a bikini" spins around and stuff.
Downloads - Strong Bad says "I am over here", then moves and says "Now I am back over here."
Store - An oval sun lights up around the Store button and Strong Sad floats through the sky and says, "I'm sad that I'm flying...".
Email - Strong Bad comments on The Cheat's work. 3 possible comments.

Fun Facts

The three possible comments from scrolling over e-mail are:
- Strong Bad: And what is that terrible voice? Is that supposed to be Homestar? The Cheat: {Defensive The Cheat noises}
- The Cheat: {Questioning The Cheat noises} Strong Bad: The animation looks terrible. It's all jerky, ya know, like it was done by a two years old boy.
- The Cheat: {Exclamatory The Cheat noises} Strong Bad: Once again, your visual style just looks thrown together. It looks like you don't care.
"Wear a Bikini!' is a recurring Inside Joke.
The Strong Bad that goes back and forth is a typical example for shape tweening in Macromedia flash, this technique is commonly used by cheap flash animation.
When you roll over "email" you can quickly roll over the other buttons on The Cheat's computer. If you try clicking on them they won't take you anywhere, except the H*R museum and email links
Right click anywhere on the screen and then click "play". This allows you to see The Cheat and Strong Bad talking, while preserving the "What's new"-type links at the top.
To truly appreciate lousy animation, right click, scroll over quality, and click "low".
The comment 'I'm sad that I'm flying' is a referance to the Strong Bad E-mail helium, where you can click on the cheat at the end to hear Strong Sad say 'I'm sad that he's flying'.
