Cartoon roundup. Homestar Runner is a funny, web-only Flash animation series created by two 20something brothers in Atlanta. It's sort of in the Power Puff Girls mode but the characters and voices are much weirder. Its original fanbase included a lot of Christian kids because it uses clean language, but its popularity is spreading so major media may soon be involved (if they're not already). An essay about the cartoon is here. The episode "Where's the Cheat?"--or as one of the characters says, "Where the Cheat is at?"--is recommended.  Also, if Virginia Woolf and Joseph Conrad were alive today I'm sure they'd be checking out this collection of Dragonball Z animated gifs.
Sample dialogue from the cartoon "Where's The Cheat?" (file under pop culture research):
Strong Sad: "Okay... your turn."
Homsar: "Ooooooooh nooooooo! Yoooou shanked myyyy Jeeenga shiiiiip!"
Strong Sad: "I sank your Jenga ship? We're playing Connect Four."
Bubs: "Hey you guys! Where The Cheat is at?"
Strong Sad: "Oh I dunno... It's just us two."
Homsar: "Heeeeeeeeyy Tubbs! I just lost my Jeeeenga jaaam!"
Bubs: "Don't you talk to me."
"Homsar" is a super-screwed-up version of Homestar Runner, evidently inspired by a misspelling of "Homestar" in a fan email from "Vinnie C." Jenga is a game played with building blocks. Connect Four is played by dropping coins into the top of a grid and being first to get a horizontal, diagonal, or vertical row of four.

"fah-HOO-gwa-GADZ"
A shorter name given by Strong Bad to the author of a strange e-mail: "The name 'fhqwhgadshgnsdhjsdbhksdabkfabkveybvf' is too [freakin' long. Can I just call you 'fhqwhgads'?"]

It's NOT pronounced "fah-HOO-gwa-GADZ." It is pronounced "Fah HOH quah GAHDZ" [correct]
It is the nickname of some anonymous poster who emailed Strong Bad in [email 9 ("i love you")]
