History Main / KingOfAllCosmos

*** A non-canon strip depicted his reaction to [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erich_Priebke#Death Erich Priebke's death and Germany, Argentine and many cities in Italy refusing to let him be buried in their territory]]: out of Christian charity, he digged him a grave and made him a gravestone-that doubles as a fully functional flush toilet. [[FridgeBrilliance That's all the charity an unrepetant Nazi can get from a Jew]].

'''Astronaut:''' Well, for starters, She's black...

* Most of the gods in ''VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising'' are this. To name three, Palutena is a shameless {{Troll}} who constantly messes with Pit during gameplay, Thanatos is a {{Camp}}y shapeshifter who likes to transform into strange objects, and Viridi is a {{bratty|HalfPint}} DeadpanSnarker that stands out even in the game's WorldOfSnark.

** Though curiously, from a Buddhist perspective it would make perfect sense for the Christian God to be a Buddhist: the goal of Buddhism is to achieve a state with no desires, and God isn't exactly there yet, with His desires to grant salvation and defeat evil. Also Buddhism doesn't really entail a belief in any gods, so it's fitting that God would be an atheist, in so far as that he doesn't have a higher being to believe in.

* In Creator/HPLovecraft's Franchise/CthulhuMythos, the greatest gods are [[EldritchAbomination terrifying inhuman monsters]] whose [[StarfishAliens form and thought processes (if they exist) are utterly incomprehensible]]. Depending upon how you look at it, either Azathoth or Yog-Sothoth is King of All Cosmos. Yog-Sothoth is an incomprehensible entity that is said to overlap all time and space. Azathoth in particular is horrifying in that he is [[AlmightyIdiot a mindless gibbering idiot,]] thrashing blindly at the formless center of infinity amid the maddening cacophony of drums and pipes.

* In the TGIF comedy ''Series/TeenAngel'', God has a unique intermediary to mortals: his cousin Rod, the giant, disembodied head of actor Ron Glass. Rod admits to being responsible for the Black Plague, ''The Chevy Chase Show'', and killer bees (though at first they weren't called 'killer bees' they were called 'Fun Flies.' Then they started killing people.) His arch-nemesis is the Devil's cousin Neville.

%%* Any of the gods in ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'s'' Gensokyo who aren't outright JerkassGods are usually this, most of them being of the {{Cloudcuckoolander}} variety.

-->God: Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit, Africa!

* ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' has an entire pantheon of these. There's "Grob Gob Glob Grod" as the main Deity of Ooo, who in his appearances seems pretty chill, he's not above taking selfies with other gods and having pool parties. Then there's [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin "The Party God"]] who is a giant floating wolf head wearing a sideways cap, and is shown to be a neglectful boyfriend, "Prismo" a odd pink shadow in the form of a man who only exists while a certain human is asleep, and "The Cosmic Owl" who comes to people in their sleep to predict their death, and originally sounded like Series/DrPhil. Finally, UsefulNotes/AbrahamLincoln himself who is the immortal ruler of Mars. (Would say MakesSenseInContext, but it really doesn't)

* ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya'': Haruhi herself is unaware that she has the power to reshape the whole world as she sees fit. To avoid this, her friends cater to every one of her whims, leading them to go on all manner of unusual adventures.

* ''LightNovel/NyarukoCrawlingWithLove'' does this to the Franchise/CthulhuMythos (even moreso than normal; see Literature below); Nyarlathotep the Crawling Chaos takes the form of a cute silver-haired teen girl who [[{{Otaku}} loves]] {{Anime}} and {{Tokusatsu}}, has an obsessive crush on an OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent, and is a SpacePolice officer-slash-HenshinHero with [[TheresNoKillLikeOverkill no sense of restraint or mercy]]. And she's just the tip of the iceberg...

[[quoteright:350:[[Videogame/KatamariDamacy https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/koac1.png]]]]

This trope is named for the King of All Cosmos, from the game ''Videogame/KatamariDamacy'', who destroyed all the stars in the sky after a drunken bender and made his diminutive son, the Prince, help with replacing them.

%%* ''Comicbook/TheInvisibles'': [[{{Dissimile}} "If the Buddha were from Liverpool and swore a lot, he'd be a bit like Jack."]]
%%* Speaking of Creator/GrantMorrison, Comicbook/DoomPatrol's [[AxCrazy Red]] [[UsefulNotes/JackTheRipper Jack]] (assuming he's actually who he says he is; [[MindScrew it's hard to tell]]).
* A ''Comicbook/FantasticFour'' arc sees the Four travel to Heaven where they are given the opportunity to meet the Almighty... [[MetafictionalDevice who turns out to be a comic book artist]]. One who possesses a striking resemblance to Creator/JackKirby -- and has an unseen '[[Creator/StanLee collaborator]]'.

* In ([[DiedDuringProduction what turned out to be]]) creator Steve Gerber's final Comicbook/HowardTheDuck story, he finds Yahweh in a bar, along with Jesus and The Holy Spirit (who are described as manifestations of His "tripolar disorder".) "Yah" (as He prefers to be called) describes Himself as an ordinary slob like His creations, explains that He never created religion (other than Zoroastrianism as a practical joke), and that He created the universe as a work-for-hire - His employers don't pull the plug on existence because it is a popular tourist attraction.

* ''Literature/JourneyToChaos'': Tasio the Trickster, king of Tariatla's trickster gods and NumberTwo for the TopGod, spends much of his time on practical jokes. When Eric sees him pretending to be [[Comicbook/{{Spiderman}} Arachnidman]], he exclaims to his girlfriend, "''This'' is what you want me to pray to?"

* The TropeNamer himself comes from ''Videogame/KatamariDamacy'', where he regularly orders his son (and other family members) to roll up various sizes of objects on earth - or even the earth itself - in order to throw them up into the sky to fix the stars he knocked out of it during his [[AlcoholicParent drunken revelry]]. He's selfish, infinitely vain, campy in dress ([[CampStraight but has a wife]]), and whisks you around with [[EverythingsBetterWithRainbows fabulous rainbows]]. He'd be a huge JerkAss if he wasn't so hilariously endearing.

* The ''Videogame/BlackAndWhite'' series of games has the protagonist taking on this role. You can be good or evil, but either way, your avatar is a giant (Godzilla-sized) animal that poops everywhere, likes to dance around, and occasionally eats people. That creature might be seen as more of a pet of the god, but that's [[RuleOfFunny not as funny]].

[[folder:Web Comics]]

* The Creator in ''WebComic/TheBookOfArmlessTheo'' is a weak, incompetent, and largely apathetic deity who cobbled together a world of his own from spare parts, stolen from worlds created by other gods, just so he could have a place to put life-forms that could worship him. His creations are even powered by wayward souls stolen from other afterlives, and instead of letting them reproduce sexually, the Creator just makes new fully-grown bodies for them when they die.

* ''WebComic/{{Oglaf}}'' has several similar depictions of God figures that resemble the Judeo-Christian God, and none of them are very impressive. (Don't even ask about the few original gods in the setting.) These range from the completely deranged Old Testament parody who inevitably annihilates His followers for some blasphemy or another to merely awkward versions like the one [[ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext who gets accidentally tied up]] when someone gets carried away with Japanese rope bondage. One strip also has God getting really fed up with people who happen to put their hands together and say "oh God" while having sex, because it's technically praying and then He has to listen to them having sex. When what look like the Greek gods make an appearance, they rule rather weirdly and irresponsibly too.

* [[WebOriginal/{{Inglip}} Inglip]] is an eldritch abomination (and MemeticMutation) that makes about as much sense as a random captcha. (Which is no accident.)

See also CelestialBureaucracy and CrystalDragonJesus. Compare and contrast MadGod, where the deity is both eccentric ''and'' genuinely insane, and AlmightyIdiot, where great power brings great insanity to a character who may not have been godlike beforehand.

* ''Wiki/SCPFoundation'': SCP-343 claims to be God. Considering He can walk through walls (and by extension, can't be contained) and knows everything about everyone ([[EldritchAbomination except SCP-682]]), nobody's really questioned Him on this. They're just thankful He's friendly. Except for [[NayTheist that one doctor]]. [[{{Unperson}} Wait, what doctor?]]

* ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' has Rosalina. Known as "Mother of the Stars/Cosmos", she travels the universe in the [[CoolSpaceship Comet Observatory]] with her RidiculouslyCuteCritter adopted children (who populate the universe with stars, planets, and galaxies), somehow carries ''the universe itself'' beneath her gown, and according to ''VideoGame/MarioKart'' also happens to have [[BikerBabe a passion for motorcycles]].

'''Zeus?''': I mean, it's not like I could have done anything.
'''Athena?''': Not without effort, anyway.
'''Zeus?''': Exactly!
