1	What do you get if you watch ''Film/KungFuHustle'', [[JustForFun/XMeetsY followed by]] four seasons of ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'' while in bed with a 102 degree fever, [[ThisIsYourPremiseOnDrugs blasted on cold meds]]? Apparently, a slice-of-life webcomic where EverybodyWasKungFuFighting. [[IdiotHero Zac Hershey]], [[DeadpanSnarker Kitti Sorensen]] and [[LargeHam Dries van de Sloot]] live in a sort of AlternateUniverse that is ruled by the RuleOfFunny and the MST3KMantra, and where office workers are occasionally devoured by giant, flying anglerfish.

5	!!Tropes

7	* AlasPoorVillain: Dougie suffers a breakdown from the revelation that [[spoiler: he's not actually Scottish]]. Zac almost feels sorry for him, except he's "still a murderous psychotic bastard".
8	* BobFromAccounting: Mentioned among the victims of the anglerfish.
9	%%* CasualDangerDialogue
10	* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Zac's amount of clues may be negligible, but he's a pretty competent fighter.
11	* EverybodyWasKungFuFighting: In ''What the Fu'', everybody knows Kung Fu. EVERYBODY.
12	* HandWave: The comic's preferred way of explaining things. The characters just roll with it.
13	* HowWeGotHere: Subverted inasmuch as the anglerfish attack comes just as much out of nowhere in the "explanation" as it does in the opening narration.
14	* ImprobableWeaponUser: Zac's weapon of choice is his necktie.
15	* IncrediblyLamePun: The fighting styles "Tie Chi" and "Gaykwondo".
16	* LargeHam: Dries's gaykwondo is powered by his dramatic flair.
17	* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: Dougie, the Scottish cowboy.
18	* NoodleIncident: The "potato juice incident of 2005", Kitti and Dries's "legendary" anniversary, and everything that happened to Zac on the Fleischmann Account.
19	%%* PreAsskickingOneLiner
20	* {{Oireland}}: [[spoiler: Dougie's father.]] Worth noting though that it's only [[UnreliableNarrator Zac]] trying to imagine what may be going through [[spoiler: Dougie's head]].
21	* OneHourWorkWeek: Lampshaded by Zac, who explains the he never really understood what Dries does for a living.
22	* UnlimitedWardrobe: Dries's "bleeding-edge fashion sense". She's wearing different clothes on every page.
23	* UnreliableNarrator: Zac pads out blind spots in the story with imaginary scenes.
24	* UnusualEuphemism: "tucking fool" and "thucking frilled".
25	* VagueAge: Mostly due to careless narrating.
26	* ViolentGlaswegian: Dougie.
