History WesternAnimation / GolanTheInsatiable

* AnythingThatMoves: The traditional Gkruoolian memorial involves a gang bang with (and possibly eating) the remains. This is not limited to sentient creatures as Golan was more than happy to do this with a turtle. Also, his favorite part of murder is raping the remains.

* {{Catchphrase}}:
** Dylan will usually calmly say "Badass." whenever she sees something that amazes her.
** Golan will also scream "Oh my God!" whenever he is shocked or annoyed by something.

** On Gkruool, all things are entitled to life... until they're old enough to smile. Then it's open season. For this reason Golan decides against Abortion, but has no problem murdering every guest at his party.

* CrapsackWorld: Gkruool, based on the few glimpses we get and information from Golan, is a [[Franchise/ConanTheBarbarian Hyborian Age]] esque barbaric hellscape where everyone is hurting and/or killing everyone else.

%% * BigBad: Golan in a nutshell.

* YellowEyesOfSneakiness: Golan's clone sports a pair of yellow peppers in contrast with the original's [[RedEyesTakeWarning red]] and is far more cunning, being a total BitchInSheepsClothing.

* YellowEyesOfSneakiness: Golan's clone sports a pair of yellow peppers in contrast with the original's [[RedEyesTakeAWalking red]] and is far more cunning, being a total BitchInSheepsClothing.

* PsychopathicManchild: Golan maybe a bloodthirsty demigod with SuperStrength but he has the maturity level and temperament of a petulant teenager.

* BerserkButton: Golan will become surrounded in hellfire and he will scream at the top of his lungs almost every time someone argues with him about anything.
* BigBad: Golan in a nutshell.

-> ''"I am Golan the Insatiable! God-lord terrible of Gkruool! Crusher of wills! IMPREGNATOR OF THE UN-IMPREGNABLE!"''
-> ''"Do... you wanna' come over?"''
-> ''"Sure! Take me to your castle, [[LadyLooksLikeADude little boy]]!"''
--> -- Golan and Dylan's first meeting

!!This show contains examples of:

* AffablyEvil: Golan is surprisingly fun to hang around, despite being a blood-thirsty warlord demigod. The Beeklers treat him like one of the family.
** Especially evident in "Winter is Staying," where Golan mostly acts like how a kid ''thinks'' an evil overlord would. [[FridgeHorror A kid with the power and resources to take his fantasies to an actual, murderous conclusion.]]
* AlienBlood: In "Winter is Staying" when Carole runs over Golan with her car he bleeds purple blood, even though he had red blood in an earlier scene and all other episodes.
* AlienGenderConfusion: Golan, a warrior king from another dimension, sometimes has trouble telling human boys & girls apart.

-->'''Keith:''' Why do you think that I would beat up a teenage girl? Do I look like an Islamic fundamentalist to you?
-->(The audience starts laughing and applauding him)

* {{Catchphrase}}: Dylan will usually calmly say "Badass." whenever she sees something that amazes her. Golan will also scream "Oh my God!" whenever he is shocked or annoyed by something.

* CreatorThumbprint: This show contains lots of BlackComedy, intentional NegativeContinuity, and very subtle references to Judaism, just like ''WesternAnimation/DrawnTogether'', another show by the same creators.
** Not to mention some running gags from Drawn Together have appeared a few times in the show. In on Golan pond for instance, Golan used the recurring Uh-Duuuuuh! joke on Dylan.
-->'''Dylan:''' Ew, Golan, this fruit tastes disgusting. Why do you eat it?
-->'''Golan:''' You don't eat it for the flavor, you eat it for the fertility. Uh-Duuuuuuh!
* CrossingTheBurntBridge: In "A Pox on Your Pox", thinking she's leaving to live in Golan's homeworld, Dylan confesses to her family that she really does love them and then she has to suffer the embarrassment of going back to them after that when the portal doesn't work.
** [[JerkAss Golan finds this absolutely hilarious.]]

* EvenEvilHasStandards: In the pilot, Golan cringed when he learned the mean girls that he and Dylan just killed were children.

* [[spoiler:FamilyRelationshipSwitcheroo]]: In "Shame on Pee" Alexis' most embarrassing secret is [[spoiler:Dylan is really her daughter]].

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Golan may be a tremendous JerkAss, but he does care about Dylan at times (in his own twisted way).
** JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Dylan is also ''the only'' person he cares about. Made more explicit in the 2015 series, where he's even a JerkAss towards her a lot of the time.

* MinnesotaNice: Played straight by every adult in town except Mackenzie B's mom.
** [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] multiple times an episode.
* NegativeContinuity: In the 2015 pilot Mackenzie B loses her hand and she and her friends and her mom are implied to have died, but in the next episode they're all fine.

* NeverLearnedToRead: Dylan is revealed to be illiterate in "Dylan Crushes Reading". All those spells she cast never worked right because she just followed the pictures. Also, her tutor mentions that his brother killed himself because he was too ashamed of being illiterate, and that his suicide note was a bunch of frowny faces.
** Averted in the 2015 series- while Dylan doesn't ''like'' reading, she's still capable of it.
* OffingTheOffspring: In "Winter is Staying", the parents accidentally burn their baby alive, while trying to keep themselves warm. It was an accidental murder as the man mistakenly put their baby in the fire. The parents use a fire log as their child for the rest of the episode as Golan destroys it in the climax.

* [[spoiler: UsedToBeASweetKid: Despite no longer having a father, Dylan used to be a normal, cheerful girl... until having her "big buddy" Keith seduced away by her sister drove her mad with grief.]]

* BreakingtheFourthWall: In "Golan the Impregnable", Keith made a joke which caused the "audience" to laugh at him. He was then seen breaking character to smile at them after doing so.

* FromBadToWorse: In the opening episode "Winter is Staying", Dylan and Golan throw snowballs at a family driving in a car. This causes them to crash (the bad). When preparing firewood, the couple accidentally burn their infant child (who was less than a year old) alive (the worse). They use a fire log as a replacement child until it is destroyed at the end of the episode.

* JerkassAtYourDiscretion: In "I Can Smell That Cheap Clone From Here", Golan inadvertently [[MrSeahorse gives birth]] to a duplicate of himself which [[{{Jerkass}} unlike him]], is a KindheartedSimpleton who everyone loves. When nobody else is around, Clone Golan reveals that it's all an act to gain people's trust and he is actually just as evil as the original and even more intelligent and [[AmbitionIsEvil ambitious]], devising a plan for both of them to take over Earth. Golan [[EveryCarIsAPinto kills him]] after being told that he [[TheUnapologetic has to apologize]] to Dylan to build up his reputation in order for the plan to work.

* ABoyAndHisX: In this case, A Girl and Her Demigod.

* '''GettingCrapPastTheRadar:''' It's honestly remarkable that the 2015 series is on pre-watershed network TV, given that it's one of the darkest TV comedies since ''Series/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia'' and literally opens one episode with a gag about a family accidentally burning her infant child for warmth after surviving a car wreck. [[spoiler:They adopt the log.]]

''Golan the Insatiable'' is an animated series that premiered on Fox's ADHD block on January 11, 2014, and is based on [[http://www.somethingawful.com/series/golan-the-insatiable/ stories]] written by creator Josh Miller that first appeared on the website Website/SomethingAwful and executive produced by Matt Silverstein and David Jeser, who previously worked on ''DrawnTogether''.

* ThereWasaDoor: A running gag in the series subverts this. Whenever Golan enters a building, he always uses the door, but whenever he walks through, his horns and the top of his head smash through the top of the threshold, leaving a hole in the wall.

** It's possible that in this series, Richard still exists and they're thinking of a way to make his appearance canonical by keeping his absence a mystery that will soon be revealed in a future episode.

* AlienBlood: In "Winter is Staying" when Carole runs over Golan with her car he bleeds purple blood, even though he had red blood in an earlier scene.
* AlphaBitch: Mackenzie B
* AmbiguouslyBi: Golan may likely be bi as he has been shown doing things like taking pleasure from sexualizing Kieth's remains in the first pilot episode.

* AssholeVictim: Mackenzie B and her GirlPosse.

* HartmanHips: Carole. Also, pretty much every adult and teen in the series, even the men

* VillainProtagonist: Golan and Dylan

-->'''Keith:''' Why do you think that I would beat up a teenage girl? Do I look like an Islamic fundamentalist to yoU?

* DrugsAreBad: Parodied in "Shell Raiser". Golan starts smoking pot and this is treated as bad...because the pot smoking is keeping him distracted from killing people.

** On Gkruool, all things is entitled to life...until they're old enough to smile. Then it's open season. For this reason Golan decides against Abortion, but has no problem murdering every guest at his party.
