I figured that it was because they sold their 500th Cheat doll.

D

Not a bad theory... not a perfect one, but hey, I ain't got nothin' better!

It seems to me that the general respose depends on how "random" you can take it. Me, I've watched quite a number of animutations, so high random sits well with me. I mean, I laughed at "Lobster Sticks To Magnet" way back when...

There, now don't you feel better?

That's the most logical argument I've heard so far.

Who cares what made them make it, it's just them trying to take over our minds and make us obey the cheat as our eternal master. I mean, it worked on me. I must obey the cute... The ceat is t3h cuteness, and if you control t3h cuteness, you control... THE WORLD!!!

Aww... That's almost adorable.

I want that song.

Nah, I'd prefer to wait for TBC to make a QotW for it... Even if I have to wait forever... (Curse you, non-existant rock opera quote!)

This thing just broke my brain...

You're not that only one. It's got a sort of catchy tune to it.

It sounded as if The Cheat cloned himself many times and created a cult around that tribal chant-esque song of his. Very odd...

Anyone thinks that the Chaps may have been on acid when they made this one?

I think this toon is likely a reference to a silly website that was popular several years ago.

I caught myself whistling that in Atmospheric Radiation yesterday. Actually, my prof caught me and laughed at me. Not that I care.

I have a feeling that this was an old little thing the Chaps never realeased.
Look at the cheats style,it looks like it's old dsesign.
And maybe the Chaps added the easter egg where it showed you the proper cheat was to show proof.
I think it was just something lying around.

_________________

What's wrong with you people? Alot of you are acting like the Chaps are jerks for giving us this on top of an e-mail. Like you need an excuse to watch 500 the Cheats sing an dance anyway?

The more I think about it, the more I think this is an intro for a toon or something. Maybe, the more they worked on the toon, the less they liked it, so they just decided to scrap it and release the 500 Cheats thing. Who knows?

it could be any reason.
Well,I may as well rate it
5/10.
It was strange,really short. Some appeal though. Song was catchy,so it was halfway there.

Yeah, it was running in my mind all yesterday. And all day today. It's like it's so catchy, it's annoying because it won't leave your mind.

_________________

Whoah, that was weird. Maybe they were just 500 different The Cheats they had drawn in their sketchbooks? I dunno..
Loved the song though.

Here's a thought--maybe the wrote the song and couldn't think of a reason for it, so they just created this 'toon as a vehicle for the tune. </thought>

There, now don't you feel better?

it could be an experiment of the cheat singing. I mean,I've never seen the Cheat sing before.

So many thoughts yet so little time.

The cheat was singing? Seriously, I thought it was pointless so I didn't even think of posting anything on here until just about five minutes ago. I think TBC just posted something completely random to see how people would react.

Wow, psychadellic Da Cheet.

BTW, this cartoon hasn't seen the light of day since the 70's. Sometimes archive hunting can result in the oddest finds.

....... What the heck was that!

That was really cute!

i'm glad you didn't decide to do five hundred of those.

YAY! 500 cheats!


Ok... thats annoying, I know.

The reason Ive come back from the dead to talk to you is this:
ITS POSSIBLE TO FIND OUT IF EACH CHEAT IS UNIQUE!


Let me introduce you to my main man: snapz pro x.

Snapz pro x takes screen movies. Figure it out from there.

Whoa... I didnt even read that... What a coincedence...

don't ever do that again. my modem is steam driven. anyway i counted them (yes, counted) and there's 601, not 500.

Does anyone remember hamsterdance.com? CNET voted it in the top 10 web fads ever. Here is a link:

Wikipedia has an entry on the internet fad:

Considering the Brothers Chaps knowledge of and frequent references to pop culture I think it is pretty likely that this Cheats toon is a reference to its hamster forefathers.
