9	''Nichtlustig'' (a.k.a. ''Notfunny'') is a [[GagPerDayWebcomics gag-per-day format]] comic series by German comic-strip artist Joscha Sauer. According to him, it was something he did to pass the time while looking for a real job. That was in 2000. He seems to have quit his search.

11	So what's it all about? Let's see: Clowns chopping off their legs for no reason, lemmings finding creative ways to commit suicide (or stalking [[TheGrimReaper Death]]), Yetis melting their caves in the course of baking gingerbread... You get the idea.

13	...Welcome to ''notfunny''!

15	There exists a [[http://www.nichtlustig.de/main.html German]] as well as an [[https://web.archive.org/web/20120813030127/http://www.notfunnycartoons.com:80/ English]] version of this strip series, which seems to have been taken down and is now only available on archive.org. ''Nichtlustig'' started as a {{webcomic}}, but to date the cartoons have also been published as {{comic strip}}s and (with some exclusive material) as a 5-volume book series.

19	!! Tropes in the ''Nichtlustig'' cartoons:

21	[[https://web.archive.org/web/20120813030127/http://www.notfunnycartoons.com:80/toondb/090425.html The eighth dwarf.]] %%Administrivia/WeblinksAreNotExamples.
22	%%* BigfootSasquatchAndYeti
23	%%* BrickJoke: Oh so much.
24	* {{Camp}}: The Poodle of Death in his greatcoat ("tuntig gut oder tuntig schlecht?"/English translation "camp gay good or camp gay bad?"), or when he frets about something.
25	%%* ClassicalMovieVampire
26	%%* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Herr Riebmann / Mr. Hunswacker, who lives inside a wall. %%"Lives inside a wall" is weird, but it's not enough by itself to establish someone as this trope.
27	%%* DeathSeeker: The lemmings.
28	%%* {{Dracula}}: He likes his solar coffin Van Helsing gave him. %%Can you tell us any more about Dracula in this comic?
29	%%* GermanHumor
30	%%* GrimReaper: The suicidal lemmings all have a crush on him.
31	%%* GrumpyOldMan: Mr. Riebmann.
32	* InterspeciesRomance: There's a nice gorilla lady who likes her human partner for his personality - and not just because he has banana-legs. %%All of these commented out examples need to actually discuss the romance, not just state (or worse, imply) that there's romance going on. Also, make sure you're following Administrivia/ExampleIndentationInTropeLists if you restore them.
33	%%** Well, there ''was'' this kid with three eyes.
34	%%** The dog and the dinosaur might qualify. Though it could be argued that his love has something to do with the skeletal buildup of his love interest.
35	%%** The lemmings and Death, of course. Allowedly, it is a little one-sided. Also, one could argue that Death doesn't really belong to a species.
36	%%** And the tree and the sheep. That's where cotton comes from. (German ''Baumwolle'' means literally "tree-wool".)
37	%%* KillerRobot: This one's different from the usual kind, though (see picture). %%How is it different? Images are subject to change at any time, so you shouldn't refer to them in example text.
38	%%* MadScientist: Two of them. %%Who are they and what kind of mad science shenanigans do they get into?
39	%%* MadwomanInTheAttic:
40	%%* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[https://web.archive.org/web/20120813030213/http://www.notfunnycartoons.com:80/toondb/090527.html By name.]] %%What did the person do?
41	%%* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: Some of them just wanna cuddle! %%Are there any other ways that werewolves in this strip are "different" from other portrayals?
42	* PorkyPigPronunciation: Let's just say, it helps if the doctor treating you is able to pronounce ''heart defibi...defrib...defibiri...defibrillator''.
43	* RunningGag:
44	** The lemmings trying to commit mass suicide and failing (a cargo ship of trampolines passing by, heading away from a cliff due to bad orientation skills...)
45	** Mr. Riebmann, an old man who lives in the wall and is understandably grumpy about it, who passes the time by getting into arguments with his neighbor.
46	%%* TimeMachine: Not too surprising with two {{Mad Scientist}}s. %%What is the time machine used for?
47	* TropaholicsAnonymous: [[https://web.archive.org/web/20120719075523/http://www.notfunnycartoons.com:80/toondb/100711.html Sun-haters Anonymous]] (snowmen and vampires).
