Crosses The Line Twice / Fan Works
aka: Fanfic

Go To

  • Virtually any story by the 6 foot dick (With such a name, what did you expect?!).
  • As with most interpretations of the character, The Joker absolutely skips rope with the line in one of his two brief appearances in Angel of the Bat. Most of the presentations of death in the story are very dark handled seriously. But then The Joker kills some workers and employees of Arkham Asylum, his reasons for doing so including "Making bad meatloaf", "Stealing an extra package of cream cheese" and "I just never liked you." When confronting The Fundamentalist (and later Big Bad) Daniel Lebowitz, Joker says he doesn't like religion because it promotes bigotry, and he prefers to kill everyone instead of specific people.
  • In Bella Swan, Pregnant and Furious, Satan gets beaten so hard by Bella (yes, that Bella), that his internal organs start coming out of his mouth. He is left "toothless and organless", "coughing blood and trembling with pain."
  • In Christian Potter Chandler, Barb tells Chris that Bob will take them to the zoo, as she wants to stop at a thrift store that's on the way there. Bob overhears and yells at Barb for rewarding him since Chris recently groped a woman. Barb says that this made Chris heartbroken, and when she realizes Chris is completely ignoring the situation, she kicks him in the nuts to make him cry. Then CPS arrive, and Bob tells them what Barb did, so Barb whips out Tic Tacs and says it's Bob's dementia pills.
  • Really, the entirety of Cupcakes (Sergeant Sprinkles). Brutal torture and inevitable murder in the highest detail is obviously horrific and not pretty at all. That with both the murderer and the victim being certain cartoony colorful ponies, complete with the murderer cracking various jokes in her ususal giggly mood? Honestly pretty damn hysterical.
  • Dear Old Dad has Shido going into outright Cartoonish Supervillainy. Shido having Akechi as his bastard son who resents him due to his mother's suicide and his Parental Abandonment? Horrible. Every last member of the Phantom Thieves but Joker and Morgana (and legitimate but abandoned son Ryuji) being his bastard children? Darkly amusing.
  • In 2017, DeviantArt hosted a fandom mashup art contest, where you had to take a randomly generated character(s), setting, and scenario and make art out of it. One user got "Rick and Morty receiving an award at Pride Rock", and created... well...
    Rick: We ended the segregation, Morty!
  • In Elsewhere, but not Elsewhen, Lord Voldemort gives Harry an out when he reveals his profound ignorance of girls. Harry being Harry, he doesn't think on it too much... but eventually this grates enough on Voldemort he drags Harry to have The Talk with him, utterly relishing his mortification to the point that when it ends, Harry breaks into a liquor cabinet and downs half a bottle of whiskey. Even worse, Voldemort gets distracted by his intimacy with Bellatrix, and while readers are blessed with a Sexy Discretion Shot, his link with Harry widens enough that he becomes aware of what Voldemort is doing.
  • Fall of Starfleet, Rebirth of Friendship has Dark Conquest, who is so over the top about his evil to go through the line a dozen times per dialogue.
    “And you think I am the bad guy in all of this! I mean, yeah, I rape, murder, commit genocide, rape, devastate worlds, write bad fanfiction about a show I hate, steal, rape, blow up planets on a whim, kill, murder children, cause wanton murder on a global scale, and rape animals,” he then looked down to the ground in tears, “poor Bambi’s mom, but at least I am honest about my evil!”
  • Ghostbusters Apocrypha: The Legend of Mary Sue is a fanfic of The Real Ghostbusters, featuring a Parody Sue, that has several such gags:
    • Winston talks like a very stereotypical black person, using terms like "these packs be heavy", "fo'shizzle", and "muthafucka".
    • The monster's victims are described as being disposable because they're illegal immigrants.
    • When Satan rips Janine in half and she bleeds everywhere, Ray is horrified... because of the mess.
  • Infinity Train: Blossomverse
    • Infinity Train: Blossoming Trail
      • Talia having to draw the image of Goh having his life sapped isn't funny. Having to do so as a suggestion from your son for a cutesy illustration book in dedication to what he loves about his sister? Somewhat hilarious. Until it isn't...
      • In Chapter 11, Atticus apparently tried to figure out, via the deaths in "A Gorey Demise", how'd he go. Very dark joke? Yes. Noting that he was already shot — S's rhyme is "Shot with a bow" — by the Conductor once? Both mean and hilarious.
      • Chapter 18 has Atticus tell Amelia about how Corginia recreates moments of his trip across the Train. Amelia asks if they recreate the scene where she shoots him in the face. Mean-spirited? Yes. Absolutely hilarious because it's true? Yes. Even Atticus laughs at it.
      • Chapter 20 has Parker try to understand the term "cheating" — when Ash states that he's unsure about the idea of getting with Serena even though he's already in a relationship with Trip — via the example of his father kissing Nurse Joy with their mother aware. Parker's lesson from it is that if his mom knew about this then it's okay...and decides to build a Tunnel of Love room so it's no longer cheating.
    • Infinity Train: Knight of the Orange Lily The brick dragon ripping apart the limbs of the Black Tyrant should be horrifying...and then it turns into side-splitting hilarious when said Tyrant refuses to do the famous "Flesh Wound" quote from Monty Python.
  • The Massively Multiplayer Crossover story Interdimensional Academy:
  • Jesus and Hitler, A Romance. Pretty much Exactly What It Says on the Tin. As one review put it:
    This is the single most disgusting nasty offensive thing I've ever read. And it's bloody amazing!
  • In Juxtapose, "'Work Experience, Part 4" ends with someone's hands getting cut off. While the audience is reeling from the shock and horror of it all, the author decides to take the opportunity to fill his comments section with hand puns.
    "Speaking of themes, how do you like the handsy theme? Am I being too heavy-handed with these puns? You have to hand it to me, I'm pretty good at dropping them! Not that it's an effort, I actually have my hands full handling all these hand puns! Somebody give me a hand in carrying them! Oh, Shiggynote , you want to give me a hand? Sure, I hope you don't get your hands bloody in doing so. Blood is a pain to clean out of the floor, and not all of us have Minor Banishment like Izuku. Wait, you didn't know that Izuku has Minor Banishment? Oops, now you do, but things have gone out of hand!"
  • Kingdom Hearts fanfic The Antipode:
    • Captain Amelia gets the mental image of Xigbar or Hans trying to eat B.E.N's posse of Mushroom Heartless only to get beaten to a bloody pulp instead. Delbert notes that due to the Mushrooms' cooking skills, it would be quite a tasty pulp.
    • Olaf is a frequent source of this. Special mention goes to his quip about making a bonfire out of Hans' innards. Fortunately, Sven shuts him up by muffling his speech with a hoof before he can explain his plans for Prince Hans-brand camping equipment in front of Anna.
  • Latias' Journey crosses the line a billion times. It is unimaginably gory but it is so over the top that it starts getting funny.
  • The LEGO Star Wars Alderaan playset. An inhabited planet getting blown up? Horrifying. Presenting it in LEGO form as just a bunch of brown bricks and being packaged pre-assembled? Hilarious.
  • The Last War goes so over the top in its portrayal of Ron as the Potterverse's answer to Trevor Morgan that it becomes a total farce very quickly. Even before the A-Team show up.
  • The Legend of Link: Lucky Number 13 does this on occasion by treating extreme violence and shady morality casually.
    • When Link goes to save Takara and Varia, he is confronted by camouflaged soldiers. He drives them into a fear-driven frenzy and uses magic to jam their guns so they are forced to bash and pummel each other to death. The bastards deserve it, but the drama ends the moment Link reasons there's "something missing" and, for no reason other than his amusement, follows up with a casual instruction: "Mouths only."
    • Following on from that scene, the shadow demon goes on to graphically mutilate and kill 12 women and 28 children (the families of the scientists responsible for Takara and Varia's torment) on Link's orders. Deadly serious? Yes. Morally questionable? Absolutely. The shadow demon musing on a name for itself, then treating the survivors' shocked silence the way an inexperienced comedian would regard an audience that wasn't laughing? Hilarious.
    Still, no one spoke, which seemed to make the creature genuinely uncomfortable.
    "No? Shade? Shady?"
    The men stood silent, tears and mucus streaming down their faces, but the creature continued. Its flippancy and their inability to make it respect their loved ones' lost lives made them cry harder.
    "The Hand, then? Handy? No? None of those?"
  • Lincoln is Dumb is a Parody Fic of The Loud House's notorious fanfic Lincoln is Done, and it's full of double-line-crossing moments:
    • Lincoln kills Lola, his six-year-old sister, by beating her into a pulp. Lana's response? To dob Lola in for "messing up the carpet". Made even funnier by her coming back in the next chapter, because cartoon logic.
    • Lincoln calls all his sisters sluts, then when Rita asks if one-year-old Lily is included, he says, "Especially Lily! She lets every other boy in the daycare go to town on her!". He then accuses Lori of drinking horse cum all the time, straight from the horse.
    • Luna lashing herself isn't funny, but it's made hilarious by her claiming that it was because Lincoln "died for their sins". Similarly, Lucy cutting herself? Not funny. Screaming, "I clogged the toilet!" while doing so? Hilarious!
    • Lincoln has a six-way with Paige, Nikki, Sam, Haiku, and "Thicc QT", as a parody of the Ships That Pass in the Night trope.
  • My Immortal pretty much runs on this, either intentionally or not. There's a bunch of dark topics, like suicide, necrophilia, pedophilia, and self-harm, but the bad spelling and grammar and everyone's Dissonant Serenity makes it hilarious. Not to mention that nobody seems to stay dead.
    Professor Trelawney/Trevolry: "Let's have a group kutting session!"
  • The NSFW short story "Peach's Double Life", which details in rather explicit manner Princess Peach's sexual affairs between Mario and Bowser on the occasions she's being rescued by the former and being "kidnapped" by the latter. If that wasn't enough, it then goes into a detailed account of "Bowser Jr's spiky shell, unknowingly, used for the sexual pleasure of Peach, as she births him."
  • Peeking Through the Fourth Wall:
    • In Episode 23, covering The Sleeping Boy, Lynn says that playing sports is the answer to everything. When her sisters say, "What about at a funeral?", Lynn suggests casket surfing, then admits she went too far.
    • In Episode 27, covering A Town Hates a Boy, the siblings' comments makes the fanfic characters' attempts to kill Fic Lincoln seem darkly hilarious, such as Lori pointing out that a man died in front of Fic Lincoln but all he said was, "Very strange", and the kids wondering how Fic Lynn survived drinking the rat poison.
    • In the first After Dark episode, it covers The Property of Luan Loud, an NSFW story where Leni rapes Luan as a human/cat hybrid. The siblings and Mr. Grouse, when not being horrified, are making various cat-related jokes, including the inevitable pussy pun.
  • A very common plot in fanfiction of the Pokémon: The Series anime is to rewrite the story from the beginning, with Ash supposedly being smarter and more awesome. However, The Greatest There Was or Ever Will Be manages to avoid this trap simply by making Ash so far ahead of his canon self that it becomes comical — imagine Ash channeling the heroine of Medaka Box, and one wouldn't be too far off.
  • The death of Mami in Puella Magi Madoka Magica was disturbing. Some of the fanart reacting to that, like this one... Not so much.
    • It's more like it's more common to see Mami and Charlotte to be together in a completely happy situation. To the point that it's one of the more common pairings in the show's Shipping fandom.
  • A rather common crossover among The Rising of the Shield Hero fanfics is to replace Naofumi with a hero from another series, who is obviously more awesome than Naofumi. The Hero Melromarc Needs and Deserves brings this to the (il)logical conclusion by replacing Naofumi with Cancer Deathmask, a Card-Carrying Villain that here comes off as a Sociopathic Hero merely due the people he deals with in Melromarc and can punch out both mountains and souls and move at the speed of light.
  • RWBY Volume 3 was viewed by fans as tragedy with all the crap the protagonists go through in the second half. Someone decided to pay tribute to it by showing the events... while playing the RWBY Chibi theme over them.
  • Supper Smash Bros: Mishonh From God makes all gays and 'lesbians' into licentious Hollywood Satanists, who want nothing more than to turn others gay by 'rapping' them, so that they change to being homosexual. Anytime this happens, it is done completely inaccurately, and is extremely over-the-top that it becomes a complete laugh.
    • On a similar note, the fic's attempts to spread messed-up politics and racism couldn't have been done in a more ridiculous manner. Who seriously misspells "Mexican" as "Maxipad?"
  • In Queen of All Oni, when Jade goes trick or treating, if she didn't like what she got, she goes back and throws LIVE RATS in the poor people's faces!
  • This piece of fanart for Team Fortress 2 references a throwaway line in the game about Sniper's "Kangaroo Wife", but rather than go the obvious route it subverts it... then crosses it... then crosses it again, all while being bloody hilarious.
    • Humon (the above artist) does it again, this time with The Spy.
  • The entire premise of Theory of Chaos is this trope taken up to eleven.
    • Basically what happens is a Doumon¬ bewitches all the tamers except for Takato into becoming the embodiment of each of the seven deadly sins so we now have Rika Nonaka as a freaking avatar of lust!. The whole thing is just so WRONG it's hilarious, and Ruki and Chaos' comments make it that much better.
  • Thirty Hs is a Harry Potter Troll Fic which takes Black Comedy and Rule of Cool up a notch, in the process crossing the line so many times that it just may win the award for line crossing. The opening line features Dobby cutting open an astronaut's head with his groinsaw. Yes, a groinsaw is exactly what it sounds like. Yes, that is what happens in the very first line. Somehow, it manages to escalate from there, with an early appearance by Fuckslayer, Harry's guitar which is described as, "a guitar from a dimension where all screamed for naught, wrought from the silver heart of heaven's false promise, laced with vessels that pulsed with angel's menstrual blood, hewn from the horns of Satan's generals."
  • This Genshin Impact fan video dubs over "A Winter Night's Lazzo" with alternate dialogue, including the Harbingers talking about how they wasted money on buying Signora a coffin since she was reduced to ashes.
    Dottore: Yeah, who's idea is this? She doesn't even take up 99% of the coffin!
  • 4chan's /mlp/ board got their hand on AI-generated voice and began redubbing the first few episodes of My Little Pony's Season 1 episodes with something approaching the voices of the original actors. And with 4chan's trademark humour of course. The result has to be seen to believed but it might as well owe this trope some money (NSFW obviously, this is made by Anons).
