## Episode Guide

"**Winner**" is the 7th episode of the first season of *Khonjin House*, and the 7th episode overall.

## Plot

Gino, who may already be a winner, receives a package containing a Chawowow cat statue. The cat escapes from the package and ends up at Khonjin's house, where it knocks him out with a baseball bat before taking him to a backstage area and asking him to "do the thing." A Lawyer shows up at Fratelli's Pizza asking for the Chawowow cat back because Gino is not its legal owner. At first, Gino doesn't care, but the Lawyer threatens him with a knife if he doesn’t return the cat. Gino shows the Lawyer the package but discovers it is empty. The episode cuts to Khonjin and the Chawowow performing on a stage.

## Trivia

* 狗 means "dog" in Chinese.
* Additionally, the package containing the Chawowow is labeled PITBULL, and the name "Chawowow" is similar to that of the Chihuahua breed of dog. Despite this, the Chawowow is a cat.
* In the original script, Gino was supposed to read the line from the letter, but his voice actor Chris Condron forgot to record the line.
	+ As of this episode, Chris forgetting to record a line for Gino has happened multiple times, and Connor again had to make late changes to the script.

## Chawowow Cat

### AKA

Chawowow
Pitbull
狗

### Chawowow Cat

The Chawowow Cat is an image of a Japanese maneki-neko figurine commonly displayed in shops, restaurants, and other businesses to bring good luck. The maneki-neko is sometimes mistaken for being Chinese in origin, owing to its popularity in Chinese and Vietnamese communities. When Gino blames the Chawowow package on the Chinese, he either makes the false assumption that the cat is Chinese or ironically correctly identifies the Chinese writing on the package. Probably the former because Gino is known to be racist.

The Chawowow Cat's sound effect was recreated by Connor Lavery after Ruthie Edwards found it and suggested it. Perhaps fittingly, this is the first episode Ruthie Edwards voices in. The sound effect is from Season 4, Episode 2 of *The Brady Bunch,* in which the main characters encounter an unlucky tiki necklace.

The Chawowow Cat glitches out in the final scene of the episode. This was unintentional and due to an Adobe Animate bug. Connor noticed it, and decided to highlight it in the Season 1 video with its own freeze-frame.

## Lawyer

### Lawyer

The reason the lawyer has a boombox on her shoulder was best explained in Connor's words.

There was a joke that Lauch Bennett was going to put in like: "you want to hear these hot beats?" and this woman just pulls out a melted stereo. Connor downloads all the assets he needs before he makes an episode, and he was convinced that joke was going to be in it, but he realized he didn't know where to fit it in. So he had the image of the stereo and decided "she could just...wear it."

The image of the boombox actually comes from a photograph by Lyle Owerko in 2010, titled: *Boombox 23*. It is on exhibit in the Joseph Gross Gallery but can be purchased for $4,650.

## Letter

### Letter

The voice actor for both the Letter and for Chawowow Cat, referred to as "anyways here's wonderwall", was a last-minute addition to the cast by Connor. It was originally in the script to be read by Gino, but Chris Condron forgot to record the voice line. According to Connor, he went all around the internet asking if anyone wanted to read the line; he even went onto Newgrounds for the first time in years. The girl said something along the lines of "yeah I'll do it, is it cool that I'm 17?"
