History WebAnimation / CheatCommandos

-->'''Singers:''' ''(singing to the ''Cheat Commandos'' theme)'' Mrs. Commanderson, she's some kind of bird-reptile, and she teaches Pre-K!

* DatingCatwoman: In ''The Next Epi-Snowed!" Gunhaver is suddenly dating New Bad Guy Girl Character--voiced by Crack Stuntman's actual girlfriend.

''Cheat Commandos'' follows the misadventures of a group of mercenaries as they try to protect the world from the evil Blue Laser, [[GoKartingWithBowser though they also sometimes hang out with its leader]]. The series is a spoof of MerchandiseDriven shows from the 80's, with ''Franchise/GIJoe'' being the most obvious inspiration.

* {{Crossover}}: Firebert teams up with Dangeresque in "Dangeresque: Puppet Squad: The Hot Jones Conspiracy", being played by the puppet version of The Cheat. The rest appear played by Kick-The-Cheat plushies in costume at the end party.

* {{Crossover}}: Firebert teams up with Dangeresque in "Dangeresque: Puppet Squad: The Hot Jones Consipracy", being played by the puppet version of The Cheat. The rest appear played by Kick-The-Cheat plushies in costume at the end party.

-->'''Reynaldo:''' It's too bad Gunhaver's on a secret mission to the moon for an undisclosed period of time, and that [[TheNthDoctor when he gets back his voice might have changed]].

* {{Crossover}}: Firebert teams up with Dangeresque in Dangeresque: Pupper Squad: The Hot Jones consipracy, being played by the puppet version of The Cheat. The rest appear played by Kick-The-Cheat plushies in costume at the end party.

* ProductPromotionParade: Cranked up to 11, as any new character or vehicle will prompt the episode to pause and remind viewers that you can buy it from Cheap As Free Toys. Even when appearing on Daneresque Puppet Squad, Dangeresque makes sure to promote Firebert's playsets and toys as Decemberween presents.

* ThisIsGonnaSuck: In "Shopping For Danger", Reynold tries on Reinforcements' Justice Rocket Backpack Rocket Rocket, only to fall over and accidentally set it to fire. Pinned by the pack's weight, Reynold mutters "My land, I can't see this ending well..."\

* CreepyHighPitchedVoice: The members of Blue Laser all speak in incredibly shrill, high-pitched screeches.

* ProductPromotionParade: Cranked up to 11, as any new character or vehicle will prompt the episode to pause and remind viewers that you can buy it from Cheap As Free Toys.

* BadBoss: Blue Laser Commander in addition to being abrasive and shouty once stuck a fork in a minion's eye so he could tell them apart.

* RedShirt: The Green Helmets, to the extent where they are seen begging for help only for Gunhaver to abandon them on the grounds that "we got, like, fifty of them."

* WagTheDirector: Happens InUniverse in "The Next Epi-Snowed!" Crack Stuntman lets his star power go to his head and makes ridiculous demands, such as writing his girlfriend into the show as a new character, and having Gunhaver fight from a massage chain (so Stuntman himself can record all his lines in one). When he gets too disruptive, A. Chimendez tricks Stuntman into leaving and [[PutOnABus puts Gunhaver on the fastest bus he can find]].

What started out as a spin-off of Strong Bad telling [[SpellMyNameWithAThe The]] Cheat that "Firebert is not a good Commando name" evolved over time into a sub-series (of sorts) on ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner''. The series is an obvious spoof of ''GIJoe'', right down to [[TheRedBaron Blue Laser]] being a voice parody of ChrisLatta's turn as Cobra Commander.

* VillainDecay: A close inspection of Blue Laser's actual plans shows that after whatever went down in "Operation Ocean Blow" ("WE'LL BLOW UP THE OCEAN!!", incidentally inspired by the actual ''WesternAnimation/GIJoe'' episode "There's No Place Like Springfield"), their plans are 1. mostly aimed at the Cheat Commandos personally, not anybody else, and 2. moreover, mostly are barely even trying.

-->'''Blue Laser minion:''' Um, I'm not entirely sure this is what they were talking about, sir.\\

* RhymesOnADime: Crackotage's main shtick. Granted, he's a ''parody'' of this kind of character and as such, he's not very good at it, if "Commandos in the Classroom" is any indication.
