Goofus tells the readers to like the utterly vile Villain Protagonist every single time he commits a Moral Event Horizon level act.


Gallant is a Reasonable Authority Figure.

Goofus causes chaos all the time, yet is an ally of Gallant.

Gallant does not spoil the details of a recently-released work.

One thing I have learned in pledging my life to this quest is that I have been betrayed again and again. And again. And again.

Gallant warns his customers if the food they ordered is really spicy.

Goofus picks a random food each day to sneak pure capsaicin into.

Gallant spend his free time doing his hobbies, volunteering, and hanging out with his Loved ones.

Goofus is a self-proclaimed lone wolf, who keeps to himself to the point of openly attacking strangers.

Gallant sets up their best friend’s TV.

Discombobulate.

Goofus goes to hotels and throws the TV out the window and into the pool.


Gallant picks up litter along the street.

You forgot an important detail! Gallant hires people to litter on the streets, and then picks up after them so he can get credit for keeping the streets clean.


Goofus mows the lawn without complaining.

Yes, I swapped the names around on purpose. Happy April Fool's.

Gallant mows the lawn, but is apparently in a worse mood than usual and grumbles about it loudly.


Gallant dresses up as Goofus for April Fool's, as a harmless prank.

Gallant dresses up as Goofus as a prank, but when he accidentally knocks over a vase and someone blames Goofus, he doesn't correct them.

Goofus holds back his bloodlust and shows the minimum of decency.

Edit: Shoot, I got confused, I'm just doing normal posts now.

Goofus dresses as Gallant and gets Gallant blamed for knocking over a priceless vase.

Gallant goes above and beyond.

Goofus also goes above and beyond, the standards of acceptable error.

Gallant the construction worker flirts with women, because said women went out of their way to watch him work and ogle him.

#6812: Apr 3rd 2024 at 3:11:45 PM

Goofus the construction worker spends his working hours groping the rear of every single female being (no matter age or species) in sight without consent, so much so that he doesn't get any actual work done at all.


Gallant drinks booze responsibly.

During the week, Goofus is an annoying dry crusader, hanging out in front of bars and assaulting people trying to go in. On the weekend, he drinks so much that he wakes up three weeks later in the middle of a desert, chained to a monkey.


Gallant is an organ donor, because, while he doesn't particularly want to die, he'd still prefer that something good comes from it when it happens.

Goofus is intentionally disrespectful to other cultures, out of sheer sadism.


Gallant pays reasonable tips after eating at a restaurant.

Goofus always claims he has allergies because real men don't cry.


When Gallant finds a TV show he doesn't like, he just watches something else.

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.
