History WebAnimation / DorklyOriginals

Dorkly is a sister site of Website/CollegeHumor which hosts a series of sprite animations poking fun at clichés and FridgeLogic in classic video games, with emphasis on dark humor and occasional line-crossing.

* StockAudioClip: Sonic's "Huh. Neat" has been used a few times in some "Power-Up Mix-Up" videos and such.

** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_Rz_xjlQ5c How Blinky Died]]'', has VideoGame/PacMan asking Blinky how he became a ghost, a flashback reveals he attempted autorotic asphyxiation but died as a result. Blinky then claims [[BlatantLies he died rescuing orphans from a burning church.]]

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9apNdSezAs If Videogame Characters Could Break All the Rules]] features characters going around the game's traditional limitations... including ''Pokémon'' wrapping back around to riding a bicycle indoors not being a good idea.

* The point of ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTLZyG0GJS8 Anime Things That Would Get You In Trouble In Real Life]]'' is to show what would happen in real life if you attempted tropes common in anime. One example is a bank robber shouting that he's going to arrest the bank, only to get arrested on the spot.

** ''Impossible Mode'' features [[Franchise/MegaMan Mega Man]] going up against an OC Robot Master called Spike Man in a room full of spikes and obstacles; it is implied that Mega Man doesn't even get a hit off. The man guarding the sword mistakes [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Link]] for an intruder and kills him at the start of the game. [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Red]] is offered nothing but Magikarps -- the weakest mon in the game -- as a possible starter. You're given an old man riding a slow scooter in VideoGame/ExciteBike; it can't get over the first bump and crashes. VideoGame/TheOregonTrail has a [[Franchise/{{Doom}} Cacodemon]] come out of nowhere and and kill you with fire balls. [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]] finds a baby Yoshi only to attract the ire of its giant mother. Finally, Michael Bay shows up in a TMNT game and zaps Leonardo into a different form.
** ''Impossible Mode 2'' has the ghosts pass through the walls to get to and corner VideoGame/PacMan. Cops pin [[VideoGame/SonictheHedgehog Sonic]] when they catch him going well over the speed limit. VideoGame/HarvestMoon shows the PlayerCharacter being chastised for not using viable fertilizers when his entire field wasted away. VideoGame/RollerCoasterTycoon has its player get sued for criminal negligence and murder for wrecking a roller coaster. [[Franchise/StreetFighter Ryu]] uses a [[KamehameHadoken Hadouken]] in a minigame with a nuke as the target instead. A game of solitaire is prematurely ended when a [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Charizard]] card is found in the stack. VideoGame/DrMario quits when he sees that the patient has cancer instead of a virus.

* HeroicSacrifice: How Daniel and Lawrence both die in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g39fv_lYt2k What Really Happens When Mario Destroys Castles]]". The former lifts a fallen steel beam off his coworker Carolyn and carries her to saftey, dying of exhaustion immediately afterwards. The latter runs to the daycare center to rescue Goomba children, and when collapsing rubble blocks the stairwell he jumps out the window to his death so his body can cushion the children's fall.

* WrongGenreSavvy: Mario kills two monsters because of this in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvDNZJCNwL8 Super Mario Undertale]]. First he [[EatenAlive eats]] [[AssholeVictim Flowey]] (he mistakes Flowey for a Fire Flower), then he accidentally kills Papyrus by jumping on him (he mistakes Papyrus for a Skeleton Koopa, which "always put themselves back together"). The rest of the monsters die from this on their part (after Mario somehow broke through the barrier they head to the surface to [[HopeSpot "finally see the Sun"]], [[DiabolusExMachina only for it]] [[CallBack to be]] [[KillItWithFire the]] [[AxCrazy Angry Sun]]).

* TalkingIsAFreeAction: Averted in ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJ1Syrcep24 Koopa Gets A Star]]''. When the Starman that Mario unlocks accidentally goes to one of the Koopa Troopers, leaving Mario at his mercy, he ends up blowing it by bragging about how he's going to get Mario, and by the time he's ready to go after him, it's worn off.

-->"Here we see the Koopa Trooper in its natural habitat. The floating bricks are ideal for avoiding predators. This is a red variety, which explains why it is walking back and forth with no- Oh. A predator has gotten it after all. Moving on."\\

-->[[spoiler: '''Bowser''': There..were ''hundreds'' of your worthless guns on my kids airships. ''Hundreds!'' And Mario got past ''all of them!'' Literally, all of my children are '''''DEAD,''''' Jerry! Because of ''your'' shoddy work!]]

*** And then almost every instance, as suggested by the title, involves [[Franchise/MortalKombat Scorpion's dart rope]] and his catchphrase of "GET OVER HERE!". [[Franchise/StreetFighter Ken]] is mortified because it replaced his [[KamehameHadoken Hadouken]], killing E. Honda (and later on, Guile, where it's revealed that Ken also took Scorpion's fire breath, incinerating Guile with it), [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Red]]'s attempt to throw a Poké Ball at a Pikachu accidentally brings its HP down to near 0 due to him using the dart rope, and then with Sonic who accidentally kills Tails with Scorpion's dart rope (though granted he was pleased with Tails' death, due to him being annoyed by Tails' Tanooki Suit, causing him to say his "[[CatchPhrase Huh, neat.]]" catchphrase). As for Scorpion himself? His power-up was Mario's Fire Flower. He throws a fireball at himself wondering what it would do and promptly accidentally killing himself.

*** Firstly, the two workers who got fired in part 5 were back and they lampshaded who re-hired them despite their poor track record in power-up shipment the last 5 times.

** In ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oc26EKhZNyM Mario Is Too Mainstream]]'', Tim of ''VideoGame/{{Braid}}'' calls his own game very original while Mario points out that his and Tim's game are very much alike. And even when Tim mentions other gameplay mechanics that Mario doesn't have, Mario was quick to mention that [[ItsBeenDone it's been done before]] in other series.

* RoaringRampageOfRescue: Presumably, Mario goes to extreme measures to rescue the princess in ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QgACcUDttQ0 Mario Goes Berserk]]''.

** When the Thwomp trio in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgiakbGnbAk The Sad Life of a Thwomp]] are fired for failing to crush Mario, they prepare to hang themselves due to being unable to get another job along with being unable to leave the castle due to only being able to move up and down. However, Mario returns underneath them looking for his watch, which the thwomps see as an opportunity to redeem themselves as they attempt to crush Mario, [[EpicFail forgetting about the ropes they tied to themselves which also don't kill them]].

* GoodGirlsAvoidAbortion: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0Y5oa8_ENA Played with]]. Kirby and an unnamed man discuss this in a coffee shop; Kirby thinks abortion only destroys a clump of cells, while the man thinks abortion destroys a human life. Kirby decides to inhale the man so he doesn't have to argue about it ... and immediately afterwards changes his stance.

** ''Impossible Mode 2'' has the Ghosts pass through the walls to get to and corner VideoGame/PacMan. Cops pin [[VideoGame/SonictheHedgehog Sonic]] when they catch him going well over the speed limit. VideoGame/HarvestMoon shows the PlayerCharacter being chastised for not using viable fertilizers when his entire field wasted away.

** In ''[[https://youtu.be/9pMsGccBEA8 If Video Game Henchmen Swapped Games]]'' Mega Man tells a ditto that transformed into him how stealing abilities is wrong before realizing [[ExplainExplainOhCrap the irony in what he says]] and starts questioning if he's the real villain.

* NonStandardCharacterDesign: In ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvaR64xDjUQ Mario Vs Pizza Tower]]'' [[Videogame/PizzaTower Peppino]] is animated via sprites from his own game rather than being flash-animated like other characters and communicates solely through his stock screams. Given the DerangedAnimation of his game, this makes him look even more disturbed when put next to the cleaner-animated characters.

* SatchelSwitcheroo: In "[[VideoGame/BanjoKazooie Banjo's]] Big Mix Up", Banjo is on his way to Gruntilda's lair to rescue Tooty, but is surprised to hear that Kazooie isn't responding to him. He then looks inside his backpack, only to find that Kazooie isn't there, but rather an art project by a fourth-grade boy named Timmy. He suddenly realizes that he doesn't have his real backpack. Timmy is then revealed to have Banjo's backpack with Kazooie inside it, and Kazooie frightens the children on the school bus, eventually causing the bus to crash. Meanwhile, without Kazooie to fly him over the waterfall, Banjo falls off it and dies landing on a rock below. How Banjo and Timmy switched backpacks is never shown.

* ADateWithRosiePalms:
** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQ7oH5vFUeM Do You Want To Fight a Hellspawn?]]'', which is a parody of ''WesternAnimation/Frozen2013'', reveals that the reason Sub-Zero (who plays the part of Elsa) locked himself in his room for a large majority of the video is because he was [[spoiler:masturbating in there]].
** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqtzJ-dhF2k Mortal Kombat Pervert]]'' has Smoke masturbating to Kitana and Mileena's fight. Both girls are mutually disturbed.

* {{Robosexual}}: Inverted. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnCiVYs91d0 Robo was caught using Chrono's Doppel Doll]] [[ADateWithRosiePalms for "other" purposes]].

--> '''Mario''': Ohh, mother-[[VerbalTic a]]-fu- ''[[CurseCutShort (the entire world becomes engulfed in flames)]]''

--> '''Tails:''' [after seeing Sonic swallow an air bubble meant for him] "You blue haired mother fu-"[drowns]

--> Vegeta: "You know how nobody likes [[UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler Hitler]]? Well, I did the math the other day and technically I'm like [[OmnicidalManiac five million Hitlers]]!"
