1 | ''Obscurus Lupa Wins the Olympics'' is a parody fic by [[Tropers/DoublemintDisaster Giga Bob]] which can be found [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7465453/1/Obscurus_Lupa_Wins_The_Olympics here]]. |

3 | WebVideo/ObscurusLupa wins the Olympics in the first sentence, and it only gets stranger from there. The chapters are a combination of general parodies of {{fanfiction}} tropes (such as [[SlashFic slash]], [[AuthorAvatar self-insert characters]] and {{shipping}}) as well as specific parodies of [[Fanfic/MyImmortal other]] [[Fanfic/HalfLifeFullLifeConsequences notorious]] [[Fanfic/ThirtyHs fics]], mixed with [[CrackFic pure and utter insanity]]. The story itself has been gaining more popularity ever since it was mentioned by Obscurus Lupa herself (Allison Prengler, B-movie reviewer on Website/ThatGuyWithTheGlasses) in her commentary for the review of ''Simon Sez'' that she did with WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic (Creator/DougWalker). |

5 | !!Tropes found in this fic include... |
6 | * AuthorAvatar: Robert. |
7 | * AuthorAppeal: [[HumongousMecha Giant robots]] show up a lot for no real plot-related reason. |
8 | * BackFromTheDead: WebVideo/{{Phelous}}, but that's pretty common. |
9 | * BeigeProse |
10 | * BigNO!: ""Nooo!" Lupa screamed while gesturing to the sky." |
11 | * CrackFic |
12 | * {{Crossover}}: Several, with ''Series/DoctorWho'' being the most notable. |
13 | * DramaticEllipsis: [[Fanfic/MyImmortal "It was.......Phelous!"]] |
14 | * DramaticReading: So far there are two on Website/{{Youtube}}: one [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugTR7AaVUWY& here]] and an illustrated version [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HewLVbU9-2I& here]] |
15 | * DirtyOldMan: Mark Sevi. |
16 | * DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale: Done a lot with Lupa and WebVideo/{{Phelous}}. |
17 | * FieryRedhead: Lupa |
18 | * {{Heaven}}: They go there in Chapter 9. |
19 | * InNameOnly: Much like ''Fanfic/CloudMowsTheLawn'', this fic has very little to do with the Olympics past the first chapter. |
20 | * IntergenerationalFriendship: Lupa and Creator/ChristopherLee. |
21 | * InteractiveNarrator: Chapter 4 has Lupa directly talk to the narrator, while Chapter 11 has her and Phelous beat up a [[AuthorAvatar direct avatar]] of the author. |
22 | * LargeHam: The Master (literally at one point), Lupa, Phelous, the Dark One and WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic. |
23 | * MetaFic |
24 | * MetaGuy: Phelous, already has this trait. Lupa has her moments, mostly due to the [[NoFourthWall lack of a fourth wall]]. |
25 | * MythologyGag: [[WebVideo/BrowsHeldHigh Oancitizen]] is referred to as "Ralph", referencing a mistake on his Website/IMDb page where he was inexplicably listed as [[AccidentalMisnaming Ralph Oancitizen]]. |
26 | * NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: All over the place. Most notably, Phelous gets the ability to [[MesACrowd summon clones of himself]] and combine with them into a super-sized version of himself. |
27 | * NinjaPirateZombieRobot: [[OurDemonsAreDifferent Demon]] [[StupidJetpackHitler Robot]] [[{{Ghostapo}} Ghost]] [[ThoseWackyNazis Hitler]]. |
28 | * NoodleIncident: Lupa mentions a night out with WebVideo/EightiesDan that led to a restraining order. |
29 | * {{Sidekick}}: Phelous to Lupa, [[WebVideo/BrowsHeldHigh Ralph Oancitizen]] to Phelous, [[Film/ManosTheHandsOfFate Torgo]] to the Master and Jesus to God. |
30 | * PalsWithJesus: Lupa and Jesus ''[[CrackFic punch out The Devil together.]]'' |
31 | * SelfDeprecation: Giga Bob takes several shots at himself and the perceived quality of the fic, including writing himself in as a whiny ManChild. |
32 | * ShoutOut: Tons, ranging from a mecha called King [[Manga/GetterRobo Getter]][[Anime/GaoGaiGar Gai]][[Anime/MazingerZ Zinger]] Kaiser [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Lagann]] X, to [[Videogame/FinalFantasyVII fighting the Knights of Round]] to cribbing lines from ''Fanfic/MyImmortal'' and other fanfics. |
33 | * StalkerWithACrush: WebVideo/ToddInTheShadows and [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall 90's Kid]], as well as WebVideo/EightiesDan and 70's Dude. |
34 | ** And in the illustrated reading, one of the ninjas has one on Phelous. |
35 | * OfficialCouple: Lupa and Phelous. Since they're dating in real life, it makes sense. |
36 | * OriginalCharacter: Many, but most notably Robert, a [[SelfInsertFic Self-Insert]] parody. |
37 | * ParodySue |
38 | * RedShirt: The Blistered Thumbs regiment on the heroes' side, and the [[{{Ninja}} ninjas]] and the [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Knights of Round]] on the villain's side. |

40 | * WordOfGod: An extra chapter called [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7465453/13/Obscurus_Lupa_Wins_The_Olympics Author's Notes and Commentary]] explains the [[AllThereInTheManual backstory, writing process]] and [[DontExplainTheJoke some of the jokes]] in the fic. |
