History Webcomic / GetMedieval

** Numerous. The prologue written for the first dead-tree volume is a parody of the ''Series/GilligansIsland'' theme. Mention is made of [[Film/AKnightsTale Sir Ulrich von Lichtenstein]] at one of the tournaments (of course, there ''was'' a real Sir Ulrich, but he lived a century before). And then there's [[http://www.ainself.net/irony/get_medieval/get_medieval0749.gif this]]. Then, there's when Asher [[CatapultNightmare wakes up screaming]] from a dream about [[Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail a flock of swallows dropping coconuts]], and the squire [[Film/BillAndTedsExcellentAdventure William of Preston and his friend Theodore]].

%% * LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Though the vast majority disappear after their relevant story arc.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Kaguya's naturally pink hair. {{Lampshade}}d when we learn that she may have been the ''original inspiration'' behind the trend of oddly-coloured hair in {{Anime}}, and {{justified|Trope}} by the fact that genetic engineering was common on her planet (which also made her the victim of a form of FantasticRacism).

* [[spoiler: WhereAreTheyNowEnding: Every character gets a happy ending, even the villains. Except for Irony-chan, who went on to write other things.]]

* RockBeatsLaser: A VTOL aircraft armed with FrickinLaserBeams doesn't really do too well when people are throwing large metal shafts aimed directly at the turbines. No matter what magic you might have in that 'dragon', a 10-foot iron spear will seriously crimp your style.

''[[http://get-medieval.livejournal.com/ Get Medieval]]'' is a {{Webcomic}} about a group of HumanAliens - [[FantasticAnthropologist anthropology student]] Asher Hane, his former mob boss father, Torquel Hane, Torquel's current wife Iroth Rousel, his accountant Neithe Wen, and Iroth's bodyguard, Oneder - landing on Earth in 14th century France for what should've been a quick refueling stop. When their ship is attacked by natives (in this case French knights and soldiers) who seemingly take down Oneder, Torquel panics and takes off in their ship (only to make a forced landing and be captured by Muslim holy warriors), leaving the others stranded and forced to make their own way. Most of the comic focuses on Asher and Neithe, with Neithe trying to make the best of the situation and Asher determined to find a way off this "backwater planet", eventually settling with Sir Gerard, a French nobleman, and his family.
