Obscurus Lupa Wins the Olympics is a parody fic by Giga Bob which can be found here
.
Obscurus Lupa wins the Olympics in the first sentence, and it only gets stranger from there. The chapters are a combination of general parodies of fanfiction tropes (such as slash, self-insert characters and shipping) as well as specific parodies of other notorious fics, mixed with pure and utter insanity. The story itself has been gaining more popularity ever since it was mentioned by Obscurus Lupa herself (Allison Prengler, B-movie reviewer on That Guy with the Glasses) in her commentary for the review of Simon Sez that she did with The Nostalgia Critic (Doug Walker).
Tropes found in this fic include...
- Author Avatar: Robert.
- Author Appeal: Giant robots show up a lot for no real plot-related reason.
- Back from the Dead: Phelous, but that's pretty common.
- Beige Prose
- Big "NO!"!: ""Nooo!" Lupa screamed while gesturing to the sky."
- Crack Fic
- Crossover: Several, with Doctor Who being the most notable.
- Dramatic Ellipsis: "It was.......Phelous!"
- Dramatic Reading: So far there are two on Youtube: one here and an illustrated version here
- Dirty Old Man: Mark Sevi.
- Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male: Done a lot with Lupa and Phelous.
- Fiery Redhead: Lupa
- Heaven: They go there in Chapter 9.
- In Name Only: Much like Cloud Mows The Lawn, this fic has very little to do with the Olympics past the first chapter.
- Intergenerational Friendship: Lupa and Christopher Lee.
- Interactive Narrator: Chapter 4 has Lupa directly talk to the narrator, while Chapter 11 has her and Phelous beat up a direct avatar of the author.
- Large Ham: The Master (literally at one point), Lupa, Phelous, the Dark One and The Nostalgia Critic.
- Meta Fic
- Meta Guy: Phelous, already has this trait. Lupa has her moments, mostly due to the lack of a fourth wall.
- Mythology Gag: Oancitizen is referred to as "Ralph", referencing a mistake on his IMDb page where he was inexplicably listed as Ralph Oancitizen.
- New Powers as the Plot Demands: All over the place. Most notably, Phelous gets the ability to summon clones of himself and combine with them into a super-sized version of himself.
- Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot: Demon Robot Ghost Hitler.
- Noodle Incident: Lupa mentions a night out with 80's Dan that led to a restraining order.
- Sidekick: Phelous to Lupa, Ralph Oancitizen to Phelous, Torgo to the Master and Jesus to God.
- Pals with Jesus: Lupa and Jesus punch out The Devil together.
- Self-Deprecation: Giga Bob takes several shots at himself and the perceived quality of the fic, including writing himself in as a whiny Manchild.
- Shout-Out: Tons, ranging from a mecha called King GetterGaiZinger Kaiser Lagann X, to fighting the Knights of Round to cribbing lines from My Immortal and other fanfics.
- Stalker with a Crush: Todd in the Shadows and 90's Kid, as well as 80's Dan and 70's Dude.
- And in the illustrated reading, one of the ninjas has one on Phelous.
- Official Couple: Lupa and Phelous. Since they're dating in real life, it makes sense.
- Original Character: Many, but most notably Robert, a Self-Insert parody.
- Parody Sue
- Red Shirt: The Blistered Thumbs regiment on the heroes' side, and the ninjas and the Knights of Round on the villain's side.
-
Wimpification: Phelous. -
Word of God: An extra chapter called Author's Notes and Commentary explains the backstory, writing process and some of the jokes in the fic.
