"it better do"

Hello, I'm reading the word 'it better do':

If you like to feel the bass and you love movies, then a ButtKicker is the best home theater add-on you can buy for just under $600. With a name like ButtKicker, it better do something cool, and it does! (http://forum.ecoustics.com/bbs/messages/47077/110173.html )

Would you please tell me why it is not it better does ? thanks.
