Goofus is a film executive who refuses to release a finished movie because it's more valuable as a tax write off.


Gallant turns his phone off when the movie starts.

Goofus deliberately keeps his phone on and set to the loudest midway during the movie, and he also plays mobile games while making obnoxious noises just to annoy the other audience members for his amusement.

Gallant apologizes if he was Innocently Insensitive.

The Heel Goofus constantly breaks Kayfabe as he tosses the Face into a woodchipper.


When Gallant finds a work that he thinks could have been done better, he writes a Fix Fic that both solves his problems with the source and stays respectful to the original author's vision.

All of Goofus ' Fix Fics involve his thinly veiled Mary Sue Self-Insert taking over the story. Because he feels like every story could be improved with more Goofus.

Gallant makes sure to take his medicine.

Goofus does hard drugs all the time, but he also refuses to take any prescription medicine because he thinks it's only good when it's against the law.


Sir Gallant treats his squire fairly and gives him paid sick days.

Guess who's responsible for restructuring it into a exploitative documentary?

That's right, Goofus. He only cares about money, popularity and appealing to the proles. Making anything entertaining doesn't cross his mind at all.


Sgt. Gallant leads his men by example and deeply cares for them, inspiring his men and earning their loyalty, and his heroic actions bring quite the morale boost to the Troperian army as a whole.

Sgt. Goofus treats his men badly and couldn't care less for them, inspiring his men to instead turn on him, and his villainous actions completely demoralize the Troperian Army.


When Gallant murders an innocent bystander by mistake, he will stop and ask himself: "My God, What Have I Done?"

Goofus murders hundreds of innocent people and shows no remorse for it.

Gallant doesn't eat too fast, to minimize the chances of choking.

Goofus eats so fast he is frequently choking, barfing, and eating inedible parts of the meal. He's lucky to still be alive.

Gallant leads the group project and keeps everyone on task.

Goofus screws around during group work time, borrows the only copy of notes and disappears, adds nothing to those notes except for scrawled obscenities, and then sits there (smelling strongly of cigarette smoke) eating raw carrots during the presentation. Yes, this Goofus is someone I actually had to work with on a group project back in high school.


Gallant doesn't always know the right thing to say when his friends are hurting, but he tries to lend a sympathetic ear anyway.

Goofus doesn't even think of the right thing to say when his friends are hurting, preferring to instead rub salt in their wounds.


Gallant serves his prison sentences with honor.

Goofus avoids prison by snitching on Gallant.


Gallant always remembers his reusable bags when he goes to the grocery store.

Goofus asks for every single item to be double-bagged with plastic bags, then force-feeds all the plastic to seals and dolphins.


Gallant always follows the rules of Repair, Don't Respond when he finds a bad example.

Goofus lets misinformation spread, especially false rumors that make Gallant look like the worst person in the world.


Even though he can't afford an electric vehicle, Gallant still does his best to reduce his carbon footprint by choosing a car with high mileage.

#6771: Feb 13th 2024 at 7:29:08 AM

Goofus buys the lowest mileage car he can find and uses leaded fuel to make it even worse.

Gallant always recycles, but also tries to reduce his plastic waste, as he knows that plastic only gets recycled inconsistently.

Goofus feeds spicy hot chili peppers to the ice dragon under the bridge, and this causes it to go on a rage-fueled rampage.

Gallant doesn't stare at people, in order to avoid making them uncomfortable.
