Line #18 Webcomic/RandomVerbNounComic


1	The aptly-named ''[[https://mspfa.com/?s=36526 Random Verb Noun Comic]]'' is a pseudo-InteractiveComic where all commands are supplied by a random word generator; one verb, one noun, with no regards to how senseless the resulting command sounds. HilarityEnsues. Later, another character is introduced who takes commands in the form of two random UsefulNotes/{{Emoji}}.

3	!!DESCRIBE TROPES

5	* ArtShift: Happens on occasion. At one point, Mr. Owie is drawn as a bald man with a cleft chin when he says sunglasses make him look good.
6	* AsTheGoodBookSays: Feigned by Owie when he demands Hat Lad to give him his pencil, and Hat Lad says he's not being polite. "John 4:30: 'If a man accusest thou of an act of rudeness, yet whilst denying a favour of utmost importance, let it be certain that such a man is a hypocrite.'" [[note]]The actual John 4:30 is "Then they went out of the city, and came unto him."[[/note]]
7	* AuthorFilibuster: Parodied and defied. When a stand-in for the author literally states her intention to insert a long filibuster about how ReligionIsWrong (and tells Hat Lad to "grab a drink if you're thirsty, maybe pull over a chair"), Hat Lad knocks her out with his thesaurus.
8	* {{Badbutt}}: Mr. Owie has bragged about, among other things, sneaking into free screenings of R-rated Christian movies.
9	* BleepDammit: Quoth the doppelganger of Mr. Owie during a particularly heated dispute: "JESUS SAID BE NICE TO UR NEIGBORS U D***M FUK"
10	* BodyPocket: The author avatar, a cartoon ghost, inexplicably has one, which Hat Lad pulls a piece of rope out of when he needs to fulfill the command "UNTIE BOOR".
11	* CapsLock: ALL THE TEXT IN THE COMIC IS TYPED LIKE THIS. AS A GAG, SOMETIMES OBVIOUSLY COPY-AND-PASTED DESCRIPTIONS OR PLACE NAMES WILL BE IN NORMAL CASE (E.G. "YOU HAVE TO CALCULATE THE PRECISE NUMBER OF PISCESES (PISCI?) IN Heard & [=McDonald=] Islands.")
12	* CoolShades: Mr. Owie's sunglasses. Normally, they're completely opaque, but some art shifts render them see-through.
13	* DiscriminateAndSwitch: When Owie sees the author in [[OldFriendNewGender her new design]], he complains about "impressionable ghost kids" being so distanced from God as to call themselves... atheists.
14	* DisproportionateRetribution: Hat Lad ultimately kills the Mr. Owie clone for hiccupping in earshot of him.
15	* EmbarrassingNickname "Mr. Owie", rather fitting for a badbutt gangster. He's completely oblivious to this, of course.
16	* EverythingIsRacist: Parodied. When the white curly-haired boy is told to fuck off for his ableist tirade about ''sunglasses'' being for snowflakes, he cries about how, as a white boy of America, he will be placed in a gas chamber and "shamed for [his] ethnicity and racial purity!".
17	* EvilDoppelganger: Mr. Owie runs into one when he exits his starting room. It's mentioned that he has a father who would show him boomer comics on Facebook, implying he's either his own person or inherited every aspect of Owie's life.
18	* EyeScream: Owie at one point presses his feet into Hat Lad's eyes when he's laying face-up in front of the author.
19	* GoshDarnItToHeck: How Owie and Hat Lad typically cuss.
20	* InsaneTrollLogic:
21	** A one-shot character argues that, since sunglasses might be worn by people with visual sensory issues, anyone who wears sunglasses is [[AssociationFallacy encouraging people to have disabilities]], and helping the "[=SWJs=]" ''[[SlipperySlopeFallacy prevent kids from being fully abled.]]''
22	** Mr. Owie figures that if God is connected to every being with a soul, then atheists must be either robots or autonomous gasoline pumps... and searches in vain for an unleaded button on one.
23	* KnowsTheRopes: Hat Lad briefly uses a piece of rope as a whip weapon against Owie's clone.
24	* LudicrousPrecision: At one point, Mr. Owie's doppelganger is attacked by a fairy with a magic wand, and the comic proceeds to explain every little effect the attack caused (including changing his answer to the [[InkblotTest Rorschach inkblot test]] had he not already taken it a very specific amount of time ago)... [[SubvertedTrope then it ambiguously states that he "lost some health from his health bar".]]
25	* NestedStoryReveal: The comic up to Hat Lad's head exploding was all part of a tabletop game. Then his head explodes ''again'', and it's revealed [[MindScrew they were playing a tabletop game ABOUT a tabletop game]]. (The events of the game-within-a-game were apparently based on what actually happened to them, though.)
26	* OntologicalMystery: How or why the characters got where they are is unclear. The building itself is even titled "LARGE STRANGE BUILDING WHAT THE MAIN CHARACTERS ARE STUCK IN".
27	* PersonWithTheClothing: Hat Lad. Mr. Owie is also referred to as "Sunglasses Guy" once.
28	* PurpleProse: Used as a RunningGag. For example, when looking at a table: "It would be in your best interest to acquire an enhanced perspective of the furniture."
29	* SelfDeprecation: The AuthorAvatar, is portrayed as narcissistic (to the point of refusing to recognize a badly drawn panel as hers) and insane, with the implication that she drugged and kidnapped the protagonists to [[IShouldWriteABookAboutThis gather material for a zany CYOA]], and claiming to have received the stigmata of... UsefulNotes/CharlesDarwin.
30	* SistineSteal: Used when Mr. Owie reaches for Hat Lad's invisible pencil, after a scene where Owie obviously makes up a Bible passage.
31	* ShoutOut:
32	** When the focus shifts to another character, it's typically indicated with [[VideoGame/GrandTheftAuto a freeze frame where the screen goes gray and red "WASTED" text appears over the current character.]]
33	** The response to "BOOTLEG INFLAMMATION" mentions a warehouse of [[WebVideo/{{Vinesauce}} 7 Grand Dad]] cartridges being destroyed in a fire, and how that lead to [[NoodleIncident a long series of events]] that resulted in "one of the guys running Music/SiivaGunner" running for U.S. senator.
34	** Hat Lad, upon brandishing his new whip, brings up how much he'd like to quote Music/{{Devo}}'s "Whip It" as a PreAsskickingOneLiner if he knew the lyrics.
35	** The scene where Mr. Owie asks Hat Lad where the keypad is resembles the "Drake, where's the door?" scene from Series/DrakeAndJosh.
36	** Both times Hat Lad's head blows up, he's asked if [[VideoGame/{{Nethack}} he wants his possessions identified.]]
37	* ShowWithinAShow: "The Submarine in Yellow", a crossover of WesternAnimation/YellowSubmarine and Literature/TheKingInYellow. We never get to actually watch it, for better or worse.
38	* StylisticSuck:
39	** The scene right after Mr. Owie's clone dies. Hat Lad gets a blurry zoom-in, and then Hat Lad and Mr. Owie's heads are badly superimposed above the clone when they insult him.
40	** When Mr. Owie looks for the Bermuda Triangle on the table in the tabletop game room, his head is scaled to an obscene size and rotated, whiting out part of the scenery. The scenery remains whited out when he returns to the exact pose he was in one panel ago.
41	* TheTreacheryOfImages: "I'm a digital stand-in for the author of this webcomic, or the author of this webcomic."
42	* ThrowTheBookAtThem: Hat Lad tries hitting a wall in his starting room with his thesaurus, to little effect. He later manages to knock out the author stand-in with it.
43	* TropeName: The author owns over a dozen copies of a movie titled ''SOME CHEAP ASS HOLLYWOOD BLOCKBUSTER''. Mr. Owie remembers seeing it, and mentions how bland and generic it was.
44	* VirtualSoundtrack: Virtual soundtrack cues are used briefly when Hat Lad battles Mr. Owie's clone, and they quickly devolve into telling the reader to listen to a song that has nothing to do with the comic, and then asking if they can [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext "pick up groceries while you're out."]]
45	* YourHeadAsplode: Hat Lad's head is highly prone to exploding in the tabletop game worlds when Owie so much as slaps or throws a dice at him, due to his {{Minmaxing}}.
