History VideoGame / WhackYour

** In the original Platform/{{Newgrounds}} flash, four of the six killing methods will each conclude with the employee playing a specific video game on his computer. They each remain in future flash versions (except the drawer for unknown reasons outside of obscurity) but were all absent from the Android port, probably due to copywriting issues. Judging by the sounds that play from the computer in each scenario, the order is as follows:\\

'''Ruler:''' ''VideoGame/PacMan''\\
'''Fists:''' ''VideoGame/{{Pong}}''\\

* DenserAndWackier: [[NoPunIntended Pun aside,]] the original ''Whack Your Boss'' was described on Platform/{{Newgrounds}} as "Series/TheSopranos meets Film/OfficeSpace" and the simple line art, slow heartbeat sound in the background and more basic-looking work desk maintains a sober atmosphere even when it gets to the killing methods. Of note is how the boss remains DefiantToTheEnd when you select the bin death, swearing that the employee will be fired and arrested before he is finished off. With later instalments, on top of the larger number of ways to kill the boss, many of the newer deaths add more over-the-top sequences that consist of the boss either [[ScreamsLikeALittleGirl screaming like a little girl]] or regretfully begging for his life during the 'behind-the-wall' beatdown death. On top of that, a select few methods involve bystander employees who either don't do anything to intervene, run away at the sight of the carnage or even help your player character in his takedown, [[ZeroPercentApprovalRating as if reflecting their apathy towards the boss to the point of being on the player character's side of the conflict.]]
** Incidentally, this trend carries over into most of the other instalments. Examples include blowing up a city block in ''Whack You PC'' with your player character and his secretary [[MadeOfIron surviving unscathed,]] the addition of the man and woman [[NauseaFuel humiliating each other with defecation]] in ''Whack Your Ex'' and ''Whack Your Boss 2'' upping the ante with numerous fantasy tropes to kill the boss in [[BloodierAndGorier increasingly over the top ways.]] Naturally, the large number of imitators made by other people follow the tradition with instances like a neighbor being struck by lightning, being chained to a tree and left to rot to a skeleton and even a kid holding a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown on figures like a mean teacher or robber(s) raiding their house in for more than they bargained for.
