History Webcomic / BrokenPlotDevice

* PunnyName: Doctor [[UsefulNotes/GameAndWatch Gaiman Washe]].

''[[http://www.brokenplotdevice.com Broken Plot Device]]'' is a MundaneFantastic FurryComic created by Lis Boriss. It takes place mostly within Byron Factory apartments, which is in turn located in an unnamed east-coast city. The comic takes place on a parallel version of Earth, as is evidenced by ninjas and giant fighting robots existing in "normal" society.

* VoiceWithAnInternetConnection: Rex recently had a Wi-Fi chip installed. The [[AnythingThatMoves horny]] little robot now has full access to the web.

* ApologizesALot: Oh, Zig.

* BerserkButton: Don't take Max's cigarettes.
** A more extreme example, don't harm Sid's friends. He WILL [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown beat you within an inch of your life]].

* BrutalHonesty: Max is full of this.

* CasanovaWannabe: Sylver.
* CloudCuckoolander: Lizardbeth, all the way.

* DeadpanSnarker: Max.

* MustHaveCaffeine: Lizardbeth.
* MustHaveNicotine: Max.

* ShrinkingViolet: Zig, yet again.

* TheSnarkKnight: Max...at least so far.

* UnusualEuphemism: '''ARTGASM!!!'''

* WorldOfFunnyAnimals: The strip's setting.

* ThoseTwoBadGuys: [[http://www.brokenplotdevice.com/2009/10/15/trapped-2/ Grot and Zel]]. Though they had a nasty plot brewing when they first appeared, they've been downgraded significantly in threat, turning them into ThoseTwoGuys.
** Now they're planning something big concerning Torgie the frog totem.

* {{Adorkable}}: Poor Zig. He's quite the geek, spends most of his time in his apartment, and about 80% of the time he's on screen, he's either terrified or nervous.

* PunnyName: Doctor [[GameAndWatch Gaiman Washe]].

However, due to the creator's stated unsatisfaction with the comic over the last year, and a messy personal incident, the comic has been discontinued in 2012. In March 2015 it came back as a Patreon-sponsored project, available to non-subscribers [[http://lizzie-bean.com/comics here]].

!!Tropes:

* VoiceWithAnInternetConnection: Rex recently had a Wi-Fi chip installed. The [[AnythingThatMoves horny]] little [[CuteKidsAndRobots robot]] now has full access to the web.

* BrandX: "[[WorldOfWarcraft Realm of Warquest]]". [[TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}} Warmillenium 40k]].

''Broken Plot Device'' often parodies various popular video games and other things generally associated with nerds, sometimes through use of the games "[[BrandX Realm o]][[WorldOfWarcraft f Warquest]]" and [[TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}} Warmillenium 40k]].

* ShoutOut: Zig's powered armor, according to [[{{Geek}} Paper]], looks more like ''VideoGame/{{Mega Man|Classic}}'' than a [[Series/BattlestarGalacticaClassic Cylon]].

* DoesThisRemindsYouOfAnything: Shedding is clearly a parallel for menstruation.
