"This planet is a kind of Earth's distortion. What we would get if Earth was reflected in a mirror. A mirror we would first get drunk and then beaten. Its inhabitants call it "Earth", we will call it the Absurd planet."
— "Introduction to Planeta Absurdo"
'''Planeta Absurdo is a Spanish webcomic created by Sr Mejillón (also known as Mull). Its several stories take place in an alternate Earth that combines hi-tech and epic fantasy. A place where heroes from comic-books and those from fantasy tales team up in order to defeat evil forces. A planet where Hilarity Ensues every minute.Some of the heroes in Absurdo are Queen Numismática, a goddess from another world exiled in Absurdo; Jystmo le Bobo, a clueless lemon-eating paladin; Rayamanta, a raging princess and wizard; the Great Flowder, a very dumb yet powerful hero; Jolie and Ajezno, Flowder's sidekicks and brains; Talerdo Limalimón, a thief with a directional sense similar to Ryoga Hibiki's; Kurochán, a female assassin with a killing curse followed by a ghost girl; and so on.Up to date, the main stories are the following:
Cómo destruir el universo en tres simples pasos (How to destroy the universe in three simple steps).
En busca del Sagrado Molgrim (The quest for Holy Molgrim).
La Coleccionista (The Collector).
HOYGAN SOMOS HALENIJENAS (HAI WE R ALIENZ). In this one, the author made a "Tropes special" in pages 291, 292, 293 and 294.
Attending Your Own Funeral: When some people die in Absurdo, they can get a glimpse of their corpses when Death comes to them. They act like nothing happened.
They're not even impressed by Death himself!
A better example comes thanks to Dark Pijama. Since he acts like an MMORPG character, he has respawn points, and it isn't strange for him to respawn near his dead body.
Bad Ass: Most of the heroes, but specially Kurochán, the female assassin. She's so cool and bad ass she has her own ratings made by readers themselves!
Naked Colectivo Talerdo is even more badass than the original!
How to destroy the universe in three simple steps doesn't make it clear until the end, where it is revealed mayor Kenny Welles is the villain.
The quest for Holy Molgrim stars a new and dangerous cult which is led by Molgrim himself.
The Collector seems to have the titular Collector as the main bad... but Kenny Welles steals the show again as the villain, making him the Bigger Bad.
HAI WE R ALIENZ has some aliens and some clones created using a substance called Colectivo (Colective) around but the Colective rebels against its masters.
Breaking the Fourth Wall: Jolie tries to show the other characters that they're in a webcomic and literally punches the Fourth Wall. Only to discover that they're actually in a TV set and Jolie has punched a cameraman
Calling Your Attacks: Jystmo miserably fails at this. His master's "Ataque kármico para desfacer entuertos" is turned into "Ataque kamikaze de los tres perros muertos".
The immortal guard's ultimate martial arts move has an interesting name: Pedantic Berenjena Assault!.
An attack so awesome it has its own fighting game input.[3]
Dr. Mong: Why do you make things so complicated? If you could introduce your robot in their ship, why didn't you just steal it?
Kenny Welles: You'd be a terrible villain, Dr. Mong!
Cool Sword: Deisi's daisho after it has been powered up for the final battle in The Collector story.
Cursed with Awesome: Kurochán's curse forces her kill anyone nearby. This makes her one of Absurdo's best assassins. She's also immortal.
She's so awesome her victims don't know that their dead even when Death itself appears to take them!
And Death is Kurochán's biggest fan.
Dead Partner: Kurochán is followed by the ghost of a young girl called Meyko. Being so different from each other, making them sort of an odd couple, funny consequences are expected.
Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: What else would you call beating the likes of an empowered Molgrim, the Collector, super-mega-Kenny Welles and a giant Colectivo?
Double Reverse Quadruple Agent: In HAI WE R ALIENZ, there's this Colectivo Cirle who happens to be the real Cirle posing as her Colectivo self, who then turns to be the real Kurochán dressing as the real Cirle posing as her Colectivo self, who's actually a robot created by Kenny Welles to act as the real Kurochán dressing as the real Cirle posing as her Colectivo self.
El Berserkito: That monster has paralyzed me with a blue boa.
Pepe: A blue boa? Really?
El Berserkito: Yes, why?
Pepe: How many times have you been paralyzed by a blue boa?
El Berserkito: ... Never.
Pepe: And how many times have you imagined it?
El Berserkito: Every Tuesday at... oh! So everything was in my head.
Evil Plan: Villain Kenny Welles has lots of them and tries to make people think things happen according to his plans. Even things that contradict other things.
Fantastic Measurement System: In Absurdo, they use TPH for distances. What is TPH? Tiro de Piedra de Hulk (Hulk's Stone Throw), based on how far a stone thrown by The Incredible Hulk would travel.
And for speed, they have TPHPH (Tiro de Piedra de Hulk Por Hora / Hulk's Stone Throw Per Hour).
Five-Man Band: Parodied in the first story, though the group only needed three members: a very stupid hero, a hot raging chick and a bulky yet loyal friend.[4]
Pianof: And Carmen Elektra.
Meleketengue: Err... Excuse me... Did you say Carmen Elektra?
Pianof (to Master Arnault): See? I told you she should be between the chick and the friend, it wouldn't be that obvious.
Funny Animal: Cats of Parque Infierno are quite intelligent.
Muridians are a species of genetically-altered hamsters that are 3-foot tall and can talk.
Gadgeteer Genius: El Mejillón, a scientist and hero with a heavy German accent. But truth to be told, most of his inventions are either stupid or useless or both.
Gambit Pileup: Involving the Colectivo and Kenny Welles. Pretty obvious, isn't it?
And even though he has a scythe, he doesn't use it for removing souls from their bodies. For that, he just beats the crap out of them with his De-Soul-Ator.[5]
Petting Zoo People: Poli is a girl-cat (not to be confused with a cat-girl) and Jolie is a something-girl (it hasn't been stated what she actually is... squirrel? dog? fox?).
Due to her nature as a mutant Muridian, Deisi is sort of a hamster-girl.
Rule Of Cool: What fuels this comic. Every single hero and heroine follows it.
In fact, you have to be of a great level of coolness to handle the Mighty Hammer Molgrim. Kurochán is so awesome she can use it with ease. Her coolness ratings say so.
And there's a council called "Consejo de los Hombres Guays" (Council of the Cool Guys), leaded by this comic's clueless Dumbledore the Great Pianof.
Running Gag: Jystmo's passion for lemons and Flowder's ultimate stupidity.
The "Escuadrón Findelmundo" (Worldsend Squad), leaded by the titular Findelmundo, Numismática's rival. She's followed by ninja Rikkipollo, flame woman Teresita, Pianof's defective clone Puntopé, mute guy Flush...
Unsound Effect: Nearly every sound effect suffers of this.
Weapon Of Mass Destruction: There are many items that could cause the end of the world as we know it, be it antique sticks, Death's scythe, the Mighty Hammer Molgrim, powerful gems...
