History Creator / HarryPartridge

** His Website/YouTube channel description reads "Good clean cartoon hijinks from the lovable Harry Partridge." [[BlackComedy Haha, no]].

* BodyHorror: PlayedForLaughs in his cartoon about ''Website/GoAnimate'', where he demonstrate the superiority of actual animation over drag-and-drops programs like ''Go Animate!'' by turning his left arm into a self-conscious gay lobster who's excited about the next ''Film/CaptainAmerica'' film.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3Pjgs9I9Ns This video]] takes a major jab at "animation" programs like Website/GoAnimate that use canned animations and text to speech functions to create "animations" easily.

** He's also amongst many of those mocking a certain [[{{Webcomic/Sonichu}} Christian Weston Chandler]], having the manchild appear in several of his animations.

He releases his videos on his [[https://www.youtube.com/user/harrypartridge YouTube]] and [[http://happyharry.newgrounds.com/flash/ Newgrounds]] pages. Some of his older videos were once available on Website/ThatGuyWithTheGlasses, but they have since been removed.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvz9jLqSzX8 Harry states]] that the reason why Chris-chan and Sonichu keep showing up in his work is because he's personally obsessed with him and all the drama surrounding him.

* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: The Starbarians' rap sheet, which mentions a bunch of transgressions like war crimes and theft, only to end with loitering.

* BigGuyLittleGuy: Killgar and Hogstrong the Starbarians, respectively.
* BizarreAlienReproduction: Lampshaded in "[[{{Film/Avatar}} Hot Na'vi Sex]]" with the Na'vi's use of connecting their ponytails for use in mating. Males apparently also have a "soup drinker" in place of where we would expect to find a penis, and females have a secondary pair of lips between their legs that they use to play musical instruments.

* CharacterDevelopment: In the earliest Starbarians episode Killgar and Hogstrong are blantantly jerks, if not evil, with Hogstrong being the mind and Killgar the brutish arm of the team needing Hogstrong to suggest the course of their jerkass actions [[spoiler: like betraying the King and steal back Bustilda and the rewards for saving her, killing Tri-Rex and wear his skin to claim the higher reward for "killing the Starbarians" and suggesting to Killgar to flee from the Beast of Gorlax because they were already paid in advance for fighting it]]. By the third episode, Killgar has evolved into a JerkWithAHeartOfJerk, [[spoiler: willing to kill random people and even betray his best friend Hogstrong for money]] and Hogstrong into a JerkWithAHeartOfGold, willing to risk his life for the forces of good without reward or compensation, and even to call Killgar of on what they did in their life after becoming the Starbarians.

* CuttingTheKnot: The Starbarians are challenged by Siad the Snake-Wizard to a game of chance. Since he's able to manipulate fate itself, they instead opt to [[spoiler:beat the crap out of him.]]

* DestructiveSavior: Never hire the Starbarians for anything. The best-case scenario is that they'll solve the problem (as long as you don't pay upfront), and then proceed to beat you half to death and rob you for all you're worth.
* DivergentCharacterEvolution: While the Starbarians were equally willing to engage in horrible acts, Hogstrong seems to be developing into the OnlySaneMan of the two.

* FauxHorrific: The Starbarians getting caught in a NegativeSpaceWedgie causes [[ArtShift their animation to get cheaper and less advanced]]. After a few versions with progressively lower detail and framerate, suddenly they have their normal character designs again, but then...
-->'''Hogstrong:''' Well, this one isn't so bad, I mean -- ''(gasps upon seeing himself move)'' -- MOTION TWEENS!
-->'''Killgar:''' ''(looking at himself in disgust)'' Ewwww! I feel all ''practical'' and ''cost-effective!''

* FountainOfExpies: Parodied in-universe with the Starbarians where it's shown in episode 3 that there are several BigGuyLittleGuy mercenary adventurer duos running around the universe.

* GoGoEnslavement: Bustilda meets this fate... ''twice'', once from a SorcerousOverlord, and [[spoiler:once from [[NominalHero the Starbarians themselves]]]]. She even gets ballgagged for good measure.
* TheHeart: It's what {{Character Development}}s turns Hogstrong into. Basically, while the Starbarians are both jerks, Hogstrong strives to keep their jerkiness into AntiHero limits realizing that sometimes glory is the only reward needed, while Killgar tries to keep the Starbarians as a mercenary duo, selling their services for money and stealing more if the reward is not enough. [[spoiler: Even if he has to get rid of Hogstrong and his morality]].
* HeelRealization: Shown to be the case with Hogstrong in episode 3 of Starbarians. [[spoiler:He's grown aware that he and his partner are assholes, especially after a woman who Killgar tried to blow out the airlock calls them bad guys, and wants to make some effort to be more of an actual hero.]]

* {{Jerkass}}: The eponymous ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KemOvmLB2Sc&feature=plcp&context=C4b25005VDvjVQa1PpcFPzJWk6qnHNlQBRKt3GHJlJmZpcFFQqt0I= Starbarians]]''. They agree to kill a dangerous beast on the planet of Mammoria in exchange for a month of alcohol, orgies, and plentiful food, because [[SuicideMission they'll probably die on the mission]]. They get their reward up front, and when the month is over, they renege on their promise after exiting the capital. They only get worse in ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOuNeX9kmWw Starbarians Episode 1]]''. It's acknowledged InUniverse in ''Starbarians 1.5'' where they discover they're actually ''ten times more'' wanted than the wanted criminal they aim to collect on.
** In episode 3 however they start to [[CharacterDevelopment become different kinds of jerks]]. [[spoiler: Hogstrong is very much a JerkWithAHeartOfGold who is willing to help a world in peril even if their is no reward. Killgar however is a JerkWithAHeartOfJerk, who refuses to help anybody unless they get rewarded, tries to kill the help when they ask for more money (Hogstrong saves her) and tried to override the controls to the ship when Hogstrong insisted on saving people instead of making money]].
** According to the scrapped Starbarians Graphic Novel of 2013, the main difference between Hogstrong and Killgar is that Hogstrong is actually bothered by [[HeroWithBadPublicity his bad reputation]] and wonders what [[TitleDrop his ''ongoing mission'' really is]], Killgar doesn't care and knows what the ''Ongoing Mission'' is meant to be: [[https://twitter.com/HappyHarryToons/status/312720604350521344 seeking his own interests and pleasure, no matter what the cost is]]
* LanternJawOfJustice: Killgar of ''Starbarians''. An x-ray of his head reveals that his lower jaw makes up most of his skull. Dr. Bees has one as well (with a cleft), though less stylized.

* LastOfHisKind: According to ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQbVI0XT04Y Killgar's Kode]]'', Killgar is the last living Killgarian. It's unknown what happened, but if Killgar is any indication, it's highly probable they wiped themselves out due to being [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy relentlessly violent]], [[AlwaysChaoticEvil pointlessly antagonistic]], and [[DumbMuscle extremely stupid]].
* ListOfTransgressions: The Starbarians' rap sheet, as seen in episode 1.5:
-->'''Hogstrong:''' "Starbarians, wanted on 120 systems, for [[TheCorrupter coercion]], [[{{Blackmail}} extortion]], [[FinalSolution extinctions]], [[WrittenByTheWinners distortions]], [[DirtyCoward desertions]], [[TropesAboutPerverts perversions]], [[SexualHarassmentAndRapeTropes illegal insertions]], [[TakeOverTheWorld invasions of nations]] and [[SpaceX space]]-[[WhiteCollarCrime tax evasion]], [[LoudOfWar commotions]], [[StuffBlowingUp explosions]], and '''[[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking loitering?]]'''"

* MachoCamp: The Starbarians. They certainly have the ''look'' down, anyway.

* MoralityChain: Basically, what Hogstrong is to Killgar. As blatantly jerky and misguided as they are, it's strongly hinted that if the Starbarians acted on Killgar's whim, they'd be straight villains, while Hogstrong keeps them acting as random jerks with a definite AntiHero streak.
* MrFanservice: Not only do the Starbarians' uniforms leave them completely bare-chested, but they're really casual about nudity, being content to lounge around their ship in the buff until they need to go on a mission.
* MsFanservice: Every female character in the Starbarians cartoons. No exceptions. Their boobs are big, busty, prone to jiggling all over the place, and barely covered.
* NakedPeopleAreFunny: The apparent reason for why the Starbarians walk around in the buff almost every time we see them in their ship.
* NegativeSpaceWedgie: The Starbarians 2017 April Fools episode features the heroes' ship getting trapped in a space vortex that [[PaintingTheMedium changes their own art style drastically]].

* {{Nominal Hero}}es: The Starbarians. They don't give a crap about actually doing heroic deeds, and in episode 1.5 are revealed to be even worse than the villains they oppose.

* PigMan: Hogstrong of ''Starbarians''.

* RealMenEatMeat: Meat is about the only thing the Starbarians are ever shown eating and the only food they even keep in their fridge. Killgar freaks out if even a little bit goes missing.

* RepetitiveName: Killgar of Killgaria and Hogstrong [=LeStrong=], the Starbarians.
* SaveThePrincess: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOuNeX9kmWw Starbarians - Episode 1]] had the two heroes rescuing [[MeaningfulName Princess Bustilda.]] [[spoiler:Only to end up kidnapping her themselves.]]

* SoreLoser: The Starbarians. Siad did beat them in the dice roll (as evidenced by his "that's not fair, I won!") and they beat him to a pulp for it. In fairness, knowing the Starbarians they would have done that even if they won.
* SpaceJews: The residents of Pangaia in ''Starbarians'' are a particularly silly case of Space First Nations, down to having tipis with technologically-advanced structures poking out of the top and using spears and knives with energy blades.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAYf9YJSKXc With Animation You Can]] contains one directed towards {{WesternAnimation/Brickleberry}}, calling it "totally bland."
* TalkToTheFist: The Starbarians are challenged to a game of chance by the Snake-Wizard, Siad. They promptly beat him senseless.
* TestosteronePoisoning: Taken up to eleven with the Starbarians for comedic effect. They are both burly buff dudes that [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill use excessive violence to murder people]] ([[NominalHero bad guys or not]]), take what they want regardless of whether they have any right to it, they eat nothing but a ridiculously over-stocked fridge of meat, Killgar is seen both eating an excessive amount of meat ''while'' having sex with a random woman, not to mention their spaceship/mancave ''is a t-rex with tits.''

* VocalEvolution: Hogstrong had a deep voice in the first Starbarians cartoon. All of his subsequent appearances gave him a more normal-sounding voice

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse[=/=]TheUnreveal: Numerous viewers of ''The Justin Bieber Show'' want to know ''who Justin saw at the mall''.
* WindsOfDestinyChange: Siad the Snake-Wizard's power in ''Starbarians'', though it's not clear if it isn't simply [[MundaneMadeAwesome a euphemism for changing the print on the sides of dice]] since he never gets to try anything bigger before [[TalkToTheFist the Starbarians beat him into submission]] and promptly move on.

* OutOfCharacterMoment:
** Used deliberately in ''WebAnimation/SaturdayMorningWatchmen''. Knowing the graphic novel's plot, you'd be aware that [[spoiler:Ozymandias beat up the Comedian and threw him out of a high rise building to kill him, yet Adrian inexplicably catches him to save his life in the parody, their preceding altercation instantly forgotten]].
** The Comedian is Silk Spectre II's fan, and dreams of kissing her. [[spoiler:He's her father.]]
** Rorschach appears to be the PluckyComicRelief in this universe, juggling pies and petting dogs, as opposed to the brutal and psychologically disturbed NinetiesAntiHero whose DespairEventHorizon involved killing two dogs in the original.
* ParentalIncest: Presumably unintended in-universe-- The Comedian in ''WebAnimation/SaturdayMorningWatchmen'' wants a kiss from [[spoiler:Silk Spectre, who is his illegitimate daughter in canon]]. An example of (perhaps unintentional) conflation of the two Silk Spectres, as The Comedian attempted to rape the original Silk Spectre (the mother of the second one), whereas in Saturday Morning Watchmen he merely wants to kiss her.

* SparedByTheAdaptation: To go with the short generally lampooning the changes that would be made to ''Watchmen'' if it were adapted into a lighthearted kids' cartoon, ''Saturday Morning Watchmen'' shows Adrian Veidt saving Edward Blake from falling to his death (in spite of being the one who threw him through the window in the first place) and Rorschach peacefully interacting with the dogs he killed and cut up in the original comic.

* VoluntaryShapeshifting: [[ComicBook/{{Watchmen}} Doctor Manhattan]] can do this in ''Saturday Morning Watchmen''. This is of course not among his considerable powers in the original comic (or at least, not one that we ever saw him using) so it's another example of what ridiculousness may have came about if the comic had been made into a cartoon for kids.
-->[[BreadEggsMilkSquick Jon can give you cancer]], ''and he'll turn into a car!''

* TropeName: ''Skyrim'' has Harry wearing a blue shirt with the text "POP CULTURE REFERENCE".

* AxCrazy: Michael the Terrible Boyfriend. He wants to sneak into his girlfriend's bedroom without her parents catching on. He sees an opportunity to pose as a pizza guy, so [[spoiler:he decides to crash into his girlfriend's bedroom on the back of a man-eating [[PteroSoarer pterodactyl]], which rips his girlfriend to shreds, all the while he's watching with murderous glee.]]

* EvilLaugh: Jimmy Tickles, [[KickTheSonOfABitch denying death-row inmates their last meals, then laughing as they're executed.]]

** On Creator/NicolasCage [[StupidStatementDanceMix Wants Cake]]: "I promise I will never make anything this retarded ever again."

* StupidStatementDanceMix: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PJddmfesaA Nicolas Cage wants that chocolate cake]].

* HotterAndSexier: Played for laughs in the StupidStatementDanceMix "Nicolas Cage Wants Chocolate Cake". Tea Leoni is a beautiful woman, but most people probably don't remember her looking like a super-busty swimsuit model in ''Film/TheFamilyMan''...

* GagBoobs: Shows up multiple times in the Starbarians shorts. Even their (tyrannosaur-shaped [[RuleOfCool for some reason]]) ''spaceship'' has 'em.

** Played for laughs with the ''ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}'' [[{{SugarWiki/Watchmen}} parody]], in keeping with the SaturdayMorningCartoon tropes it's laden with.

** Used deliberately in ''[[{{SugarWiki/Watchmen}} Saturday Morning Watchmen]]''. Knowing the graphic novel's plot, you'd be aware that [[spoiler:Ozymandias beat up the Comedian and threw him out of a high rise building to kill him, yet Adrian inexplicably catches him to save his life in the parody, their preceding altercation instantly forgotten]].

* ParentalIncest: Presumably unintended in-universe-- The Comedian in ''[[{{SugarWiki/Watchmen}} Saturday Morning Watchmen]]'' wants a kiss from [[spoiler:Silk Spectre, who is his illegitimate daughter in canon]]. An example of (perhaps unintentional) conflation of the two Silk Spectres, as The Comedian attempted to rape the original Silk Spectre (the mother of the second one), whereas in Saturday Morning Watchmen he merely wants to kiss her.

** Inverted with ''[[{{SugarWiki/Watchmen}} Saturday Morning Watchmen]]'' and ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls Adventures with the [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Dovahkids]]'', which take already bleak works and turn them into lighthearted kid's shows.

* MachoCamp: The Starbarians. They certainly have the ''look'' down, anyway.

* BlatantLies:
** His Website/YouTube channel description reads "Good clean cartoon hijinks from the lovable Harry Partridge." [[BlackComedy Haha, no]].
** His description for the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCTbFN0EsDM Stephen the Lesbian]] [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext cartoon]]:
--->''An educational documentary about lesbians.''

* ApprovalOfGod:
** ''Saturday Morning ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}'' is well-received by both of the creators of the source material; Dave Gibbons loved it and Creator/AlanMoore said that it was the only adaptation of his works that he approves of (well, except for the ''ComicBook/ForTheManWhoHasEverything'' episode of ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'').
** Music/JustinBieber himself uses the [[https://twitter.com/HappyHarryToons/status/15493966166233088 ''It's the Justin Bieber show!'' jingle in his concerts.]]
