History WebVideo / TheGuild

* {{Jerkass}}: Tinkerballa. Also Bladezz, though with him it could be considered more of a JerkassFacade to cover up his insecurities. Then there's the entire Axis of Anarchy, but Fawkes especially.
%%* JerkassFacade: Season 4 leaves it open that Fawkes might be this.

* [[OnlySaneEmployee Liz Lemon Job]]: Codex's role as the OnlySaneMan in the Guild, and later virtually her explicit job description at the game company.

* LizLemonJob: Codex's role as the OnlySaneMan in the Guild, and later virtually her explicit job description at the game company.

* AbusiveParents: Clara is neglectful and has shown on several occasions to be bad at parenting, but the end of "Rather be Raiding" takes the cake:

'''Clara:''' Oh, can you have him check on my kids for me. It's a green SUV.\\

* AmbiguousDisorder: All of the main characters

--> Frustration nikalanekaa raastaa hai (Provides a outlet for all frustrations)

* RearrangeTheSong: In the first season, the theme song is entirely played on synthesizers. By season five there's some additional instruments in there, most noticeably a distorted electric guitar playing the lead melody along with the synths.

* AchievementsInIgnorance: [[spoiler: Wiggly takes down Kwan with spells so unoptimal he hadn't thought to defend against them. Lampshaded when [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome Wiggly says "Sheer idiocy is my gaming specialty".]]]]

%%* FiveBadBand: In season three, the Knights of Good meet a [[TheRival rival]] guild, the Axis of Anarchy, composed of %%what seems to be a Five Bad ''[[FiveTokenBand Token]]'' Band as only one member is an able-bodied white male.
%%** BigBad: Fawkes
%%** TheDragon: Venom
%%** TheEvilGenius: Kwan
%%** TheBrute: Bruiser
%%** TheDarkChick: Valkyrie
%%** SixthRanger: Tinkerballa (who [[HeelFaceTurn turns]] into a SixthRangerTraitor at the end)

Recognitions include winning the 2007 Youtube Video Award and the 2008 Yahoo Video award. You can keep up with the series at its official website, [[http://www.watchtheguild.com/ watchtheguild.com.]] The series is also available on Netflix, where each season is combined into a single episode.

* AbhorrentAdmirer: Zaboo, but it has nothing to do with looks and everything to do with his lack of emotional maturity and over-the-top stalkery behavior. Although, as of the end of Season 4, he' beginning to look less abhorrent...

* CastIncest: In-universe, at the start of season four when the Knights of Good's healer (Codex) is involved with Axis of Anarchy's leader (Fawkes) while Axis' healer is dating Bladezz's mom, he calls it Guild incest.

* FoeYay: An {{in-universe}} example. At first it seems that Riley is just hostile toward Codex...then in ''Noobtastic'' [[spoiler: she rather blatantly makes a pass at her ("your skin is so soft" *brushes hair away from neck as she massages her shoulders* ), and apparently has misplaced anger about Codex "rejecting" her, when it should "go the other way around"]]. DidntSeeThatComing. And then in ''Coping and Stuff'', [[spoiler: Zaboo tells Codex that Riley ''wants to have a three-way with her and Zaboo.'']] If that isn't FoeYay, who knows what is. There is also some very unwilling Foe Yay with Zaboo and Vork when they first start living together. Zaboo spends a lot of his time showing off his body and exercising, trying to get Vork to play "manly" sports with him (like wrestling) and changes around Vork's keyboard settings to what he thought were better ones. Vork's interactions with Zaboo are the only times he acts halfway normal (i.e. he gets really annoyed with him). And then there is the fact that Zaboo tried to get in the shower with Vork... Then In episode 8 of season 3, [[spoiler:Codex gets into a private chat with the Axis of Anarchy leader to try to convince them to cease [[KickTheDog tormenting Bladezz]]. Fawkes insinuates that she wanted a private chat for a different reason and is in denial about her attraction to him.]]

%%* [[PromotedFanboy Promoted Fangirl]]: [[spoiler: In-universe example with Codex, judging from the last scene of the season 5 finale. Proven in season 6.]]

* {{Metaphorgotten}}: Codex isn't quite [[TheOffice Michael Scott]], but she sure manages to pull a good number of these...

''The Guild'' is an online VlogSeries-style sitcom created by Creator/FeliciaDay of [[WebVideo/DoctorHorriblesSingAlongBlog Dr. Horrible]] fame (and credited by Creator/JossWhedon as a large inspiration) after a two year addiction to WorldOfWarcraft. Each three to eight minute episode centers on "The Knights of Good", an online guild in an {{MMORPG}} [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed similar]] to WorldOfWarcraft.

* MostGamersAreMale: Subverted by the fact that guild is evenly split between men and women. FeliciaDay has said she did this on purpose to prove a point that there are more girl gamers out there than guys think there are.

%%** Codex all the time. Due to her being played by FeliciaDay

* ThreeMinutesOfWrithing: "Do You Wanna Date My Avatar", though it's pretty obviously a parody of this type of thing. That doesn't stop it from being really freaking ''hot''. FeliciaDay does a cute, awkward little smile in the very last second of the video that suggests she wasn't quite comfortable with being MsFanservice.

%%* NationalStereotypes: Mocked with Kwan, a Korean professional gamer with a gigantic ''{{Starcraft}}'' poster on his wall.

* DVDCommentary: Each season was compiled into its own Youtube video and added "trivia annotations" written by Felicia Day about the development of the show.

* TheCastShowoff: Felicia's fond of writing actor's talents into the script. Bladezz is a talented card dealer because actor Vincent knows sleight of hand card tricks, Codex plays the violin as does Felicia Day, Tink plays basketball, and Amy Okuda shows off her dancing skills in the music videos. Also stuntman Wade Wei was played by an actual stuntman who did his own stuntwork. Felicia and Vince also show off their impressive vocal talents in the music videos (namely, Felicia singing and Vince holding a Bollywood-style note with perfection).

%%* {{Dojikko}}: Codex

* DracoInLeatherPants: Wade "Stunt guy" "Guns" Wei happens to be both an in-universe and out-of-universe example. In-universe, despite being a self-obsessed jerk, he manages to come off looking awesome to the Guildies because he's also a real-life BadAss. After beating the crap out of Zaboo and publicly humiliating Codex, all Zaboo can say is "he's nice" because the guy ''did motion capture for his favorite game'', and was an extra in a B-movie he loved. Then Clara, Codex's friend, ''makes out'' with Wade! Out-of-universe, his "leather pants" status has caused a few fans to think he should end up with Codex, despite how nonchalantly he comments that "she's not worth it" with a wink and a smile. And, in the spirit of equal opportunity, Riley. Her relationship with Zaboo is at best disturbing, and at worst downright twisted; she's violent, manipulative, and scarily controlling - all three neatly illustrated by her knocking Zaboo out, gagging him with tape, and chaining him up in the wardrobe because he forgot to make her breakfast. On the other hand, she's hot. Tall! I meant Tall!

** At the end of the third season, [[spoiler:Codex and Fawkes]] have sex and she discusses it with the guild at the opening of the fourth. In addition to yelling at her for sleeping with the enemy, they call her a slut and attack her for doing so after one date.

* BookEnds: [[spoiler: Codex introduces her very first and last webcam segment in mostly the same way.]]
[[spoiler: Season 1, ep 1: -->"So, it's Friday night and...still jobless, yay!"]]
[[spoiler: season 6, ep 12: -->"So, it's Friday night and...no longer jobless, yay!"]]

** In season 5 Zaboo's seat saving scheme gives him a lot of power at the convention and by episode 7 he is seen stroking a toy cat while [[spoiler:NeilGaiman]] is asking him for a favour. Later he is seen having his goons beat up [[spoiler: Kevin Sorbo]] in order to get front row seats at his panel.

* BeneathTheMask: Zaboo's [[{{Halo}} Master Chiefs]] are revealed at the end to be [[SamusIsAGirl really hot chicks]].

* BodyguardBabes: [[spoiler: It is revealed at the end of season 5 that Zaboo's twin [[{{Halo}} Master Chief]] thugs were actually women.]]

* BurgerFool: Cheesy Beard's
