-
"'''Powered by The Cheat'''" toons are [[Flash]] toons created by [[The Cheat]] and his computers, [[Tangerine Dreams]] (2002-2004) and [[Monosodium Dreams]] (2006-present). Many of them are Flash toons within the [[Homestar Runner universe]]. The toons, which are a parody of the many poorly drawn Flash cartoons on the web, are usually packed with bad animation and [[Powered by The Cheat Character Variations|character depictions]], poor imitations of the characters' voices (provided by [[Mike Chapman]]), and senseless or nonexistent plots.
 
-
It is never explained how The Cheat manages to imitate the other characters speaking English; in all regular toons, The Cheat speaks in his own native "The Cheat" language. He often [[Powered by The Cheat Cameo Appearances|incorporates himself into his cartoons]], sometimes in a [[Wikipedia:List_of_Hitchcock_cameo_appearances|Hitchcock-style cameo]], but usually portraying himself as superior to the other characters or receiving some sort of prize. The Cheat has won four prizes for these cartoons in "real" life, including an [[New Boots|iron cup full of Brunswick Stew]], a [[pizza]] for his "[[Everybody to the Limit]]" music video, the fabled "Pizza [[Trophy]]", and a slice of "chinstrap pizza".
 
-
 
-
These animations show hints of The Cheat's fantasies and possibly insecure personality. The email [[mile]], which The Cheat guest-authored, is an ideal example of what he most desires yet cannot possibly possess. The Cheat shamelessly elevates his status in the eyes of others through praise given by his boss, [[Strong Bad]], while [[Marzipan]] finally gives him the attention and affection he has been craving. However, the two rarely exchange words outside of a fabricated Flash universe, despite having gone on one [[Date Nite|date]] together.
 
-
 
-
The Cheat has provided animation for other [[Free Country, USA]] artists. He has also collaborated with the likes of [[The Skate Party]], [[They Might Be Giants]], and more.
 
-
 
-
It has been refered to by Strong Bad in a Quote of the week as an outtake from [[Most In The Graveyard]] as "[your] regular animating crap"
