Fun Facts

Explanations

• This toon is a parody of various public service announcements in which prominent media figures (celebrities, politicians, etc) attempt to give advice to children in the form of catchy songs, rap, etc. Common examples include campaigns against smoking and drug use.

Trivia

• This is the first toon in which Foxface has been animated.

Remarks

• The golf clubs displayed are not putters.
• The sound in this toon is considerably higher quality than usual. This was also done in Homestar Presents: Presents.

Goofs

• This toon's entry in the Toons Menu incorrectly shows a running time of 2:19 in the "Shorts" section. The time is shown correctly in the "What's New" section.

Inside References

• The visor Crack Stuntman is wearing has a Pistols For Pandas logo on it.
• This is the second time Crack Stuntman has mispronounced Gunhaver's name.
• This is another reference to beach volleyball, which was first mentioned in Shopping for Danger.
• This toon makes reference to Pants
• The scene where an outline of Alabama is drawn is a reference to the "Brain Sister" segment of Summer Short Shorts, in which an outline of Texas is drawn.
• The paint splatter background during the "Poo-ha-huh-ha-huh" segment of the song is identical to one seen in modeling.

• In the page title, "the REAL Cheat Commandos" is a reference to the Ghostbusters cartoon The Real Ghostbusters.
