Also, it was done with no computer graphics, and took 606 takes. (Well, OK, there's one second of CG)
my favorite comment regarding the cgi "cheat."
"There is only one cheat. And he lives with strongbad."
by the third time someone makes the joke, i think its lame. reminds me of the first time i saw one of those wisconsin cheesehead hats. maybe frank was on to something, or is knowledge just a curse? good thing i am well on my way to know-nothing.
This thread is beginning to resemble the Fuscilli & Weiss film itself which I saw at the New Museum a couple of years ago. I admit to having been transfixed but was mostly nonplused, so they added flames to Mousetrap, a game I loved as a kid despite knowing it was a swipe from Rube Goldberg.

The Cheat doesn't live with Strongbad. The Cheat lives in the King of Town's grill.

The quote below is from the Arthur Danto essay I linked to. It's bombastic but does a good job of explaining how the Fischli/Weiss differs from Goldberg (and Mousetrap):
