History Webcomic / DrBrinnerGhostPsychiatrist

* KamehameHadoken: Turkmenbashi's Turkenbashi-Beam. Taken UpToEleven in that its effects are more like that of a ''[[VideoGame/{{Iji}} Phantom Hammer]]'' than anything else.

->[[labelnote:Isn't there something we're forgetting?]] ''Dr. Brinner'' doesn't really strictly exist. It began as a joke, but it quickly mushroomed into a parody of Andrew Hussie's style, that takes place in the ''Webcomic/MSPaintAdventures'' forums. The story is told extremely vaguely by members theorizing about the [[FictionalDocument nonexistent future of the story, based on events that never took place]]. It was quickly pointed out that the haphazard summing-up of events that can occasionally happen on Wiki/TVTropes makes it the perfect venue for detailed discussion of the comic. Actually, it's probably better summed up as JustForFun. {{Defictionalization}} has occurred as Andrew put a cameo of a letter addressed to Brinner in ''Homestuck''.[[/labelnote]]

* MemeticBadass: [[{{Egopolis}} Turkmenbashi]], both in ''and'' out of universe. The guy ''blew up a chunk of Antarctica'' to prevent the Shoggoths from attacking, after all. Also, it's revealed that instead of dying as in RealLife, he ended up being blown into space but still lived. ''By a nuke.''

* OneSceneWonder: That...''thing'' from the last chapter of the Onyx Ghost arc that called itself [[UncannyValley "Jimmy Carter"]] left a pretty [[BodyHorror big]] impression on the fandom, despite the fact that it (thankfully) hasn't showed up since.

* TheProblemWithLicensedGames: Averted, much to the delight of fans. Noted Brinner fan and game designer Daniel Remar has released a Dr. Brinner ActionRPG, faithfully recounting the events of the comic up to the end of the Second Technowar, and it's been praised as tieing with ''VideoGame/{{Iji}}'' for his best game. The fact that he had Andrew on hand through the whole creative process probably helped.

* FiveManBand: Techno-Squad A, in the Second Technowar:
** The Big Bad: 1-48N (aka [[spoiler:John Lennon]])
** TheDragon: Joshua L. Chamberlain
** EvilGenius: Kaiser Wilhelm
** TheBrute: Billy the Kid
** DarkChick[=/=]TokenGoodTeammate: John Steinbeck

* BadassBeard: Brinner grew one over the twelve years he was banished to the Oubliette Dimension by the brainwashed Marquis de Sade as part of his PlotRelevantAgeUp. After escaping, he decided he liked it and kept it.

** BadassSanta: The fifth Christmas special, however, featured Brinner teaming up with an alternate universe version of Santa, described as "the most skilled martial artist in the Arctic Circle."

* CuteBruiser: Timothy, Dr. Brinner's 7-year-old nephew. Though at first he seems like he'll just be TheLoad to his uncle and his allies, he soon makes up for that when he ''[[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome destroys five evil universes with a flick of his finger]]''.

* DealWithTheDevil: Or rather his grandmother.

* YouMustBeCold: Done [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments hilariously]] with [=HelperTron=] 9000 during Brinner's expedition to Greenland. Unfortunately, [=HelperTron=] hadn't taken his combat modifications into consideration and pulled a flamethrower on Brinner...

* BlackBestFriend: {{Subverted}} when it is revealed the Pizza Delivery Guy is actually red. See the episode ''Dr. Brinner Meets the Webcomic/{{Irrelevator}}.''
** This reveal was retconned out of the collected paperback due to intellectual property concerns between Andrew, Lines & Circles, and, curiously, Steve Buscemi.

* NeverLiveItDown: The Megamartyr really wishes everyone would just forget about that time she replaced the sun with a disco ball and gave the entire planet a soundtrack of upbeat 70's tunes.

* 1-Dimensional Thinking: Enforced by certain intergalactic threats when they seize control of the Mind Tower, or any of it's alternative time copies.
* 10-Minute Retirement: The good Doctor has retired at least a half a dozen times, depending on how canon you consider the Feral Arc, however he tends to get replaced with either a past, future, or alt-reality version of himself.

* 1-Dimensional Thinking: Enforced by certain intergalactic threats when they seize control of the Mind Tower, or any of it's alternative time copies.

* FiveBadBand: Techno-Squad A, in the Second Technowar:

''Dr. Brinner: Ghost Psychiatrist'' a comic by Andrew Hussie, of ''Webcomic/MSPaintAdventures'' fame, once regarded as magnum opus before his most popular work, ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'', was created. It's a work spanning several years and numerous forms ranging from print to image to text to a series of Youtube videos that when first viewed seem to be mere footage of random people's children. It describes the adventures of Doctor Brinner (formerly Doctor Derek Brinner, but that was in a universe that no longer exists), an extraordinarily cool psychiatrist who deals in the dead. The coolness is canon.

* CuteBruiser: Timothy, Dr. Brinner's 7-year-old nephew. Though at first he seems like he'll just be TheLoad to his uncle and his allies, he soon makes up for that when he ''[[CrowningMomentOfAwesome destroys five evil universes with a flick of his finger]]''.

* YouMustBeCold: Done [[CrowningMomentOfFunny hilariously]] with [=HelperTron=] 9000 during Brinner's expedition to Greenland. Unfortunately, [=HelperTron=] hadn't taken his combat modifications into consideration and pulled a flamethrower on Brinner...

->'''Dr. Brinner''': Hold on, I need to go to the bathroom.\\
'''General Negakipper''': No you fool, if you do that, every universe that has ever existed will simultaneously implode!

->'''Dark Brinner''': So, you go around calling yourself the Antimartyr of the Technochrist? What, was “Negaguru of the Cyberbuddha” already taken?
