Strategies

TV Head is decent on his own, but is much better in groups or with AI. Stay next to AI to get armor buffs, and group up with AI and player TV Heads to trick enemies into thinking you are AI, get armor, and launch devastating attacks in a group.

Unlike Wildflower's Bloom Boom, If TV Head's Overheated Dinner will stay on the ground for a little bit before exploding if it doesn't hit an enemy. You can use this to your advantage by throwing an Overheated Dinner at the ground while someone is chasing you, let them get hit by the explosion and attack them by surprise.

TV Head's Big Bite upgrade for Snack Attack (TV Head's melee attack) is a good way to ambush your enemy and essentially 'combo' them if you move around enough. Don't expect this to work all the time, however, since the stun time is very short.
