History Webcomic / Oglaf

''[[https://www.oglaf.com/archive/ Oglaf]]'' is an often seriously {{NSFW}} webcomic by Trudy Cooper and Doug Bayne. Most of the episodes (called "stories") are single non-sequential pages, though some stretch out longer; the very first one was eight pages long. The comic started out as a gag-a-week work, but slowly started including longer {{Story Arc}}s, most of the time focusing on Ivan and his never-ending torment at the hands of Mistress and Sandoval, the Ambassador of Xoan. In addition to this there were the misadventures of Navaan, a sex-starved vampire who became a BackAlleyDoctor, and Grier, a no-nonsense lesbian mercenary. These arcs appeared to be (very) slowly coming together into a single overarching plot until [[AbortedArc they didn't]] and the series went back to its gag-a-week format.

** Parodied in ''[[http://oglaf.com/breastplate/ Breastplate]]''. Note the chest armor of the scowling woman beside him averts this trope.
** Played straight in ''[[http://oglaf.com/glamazon-way/ The Glamazon Way]]''.
** Justified in the NSFW strip ''Appeal to Heaven'', where warriors (male and female) wear slutty armor to gain the favor of a goddess of war and sex.

** Treated as the logical conclusion of ArmorIsUseless in ''[[http://oglaf.com/newmodelarmy/ New Model Army]]''...[[FanDisservice by a tribe of orcs]].
** Shows up as a part of ''[[http://oglaf.com/scroll-work/ Scroll Work]]'' at the last panel. It's worn by a man, in a group implied to be others who [[TakeThat mistake "facile contrariness with no actual point to make" for irony]].

* DidntThinkThisThrough: In [[https://www.oglaf.com/wilyworm/ "The Wily Worm"]], a cunning young hobbit attempts to convince a treasure-guarding dragon to aid him in running a real estate scam that would see the dragon profit 10 times as much gold as it allowed the hobbit to "steal". It's so insulted that it burns the hobbit to ashes for his impertinence... only to realise a few seconds later [[OhCrap "Actually, that was a really good idea"]].

* TooManyBelts: Justified in "Clubwear," where a woman's restrictive top is necessary to contain her extremely large boobs.

** Played with in the strips dedicated to Ponce de Leon's search for said fountain with his dowdy assistant. They eventually do find a magical fountain, only to realize too late it's actually [[spoiler:[[http://www.oglaf.com/fountain-of-girl/1/ the Fountain of Girl]]. Well, at least they were young that way too..]].

* JumpScare: ''Touch of Fear'' features a woman with whom sex includes creeping existential dread, the illusion of being torn apart by monsters, and jump scares.

* YoungConqueror: Played for laughs when a little princess is given an army for her birthday, which she then uses to go on a campaign of conquest against a candy factory. Then her army is besieged by the forces belonging to a different princess, and she starts wishing for an assassin on her next birthday.

* CastFullOfGay: It's about a 50-50 chance whether any given strip's characters will like boys, girls, both, or other.

Most strips are '''''very''''' NSFW; the strips that ''are'' work-safe are the ones slapped with a warning label. However, the comic also features many gags that are quite innocuous or just "immature".

* [[NotSafeForWork NSFW]]: More often than not. Comics that actually ''are'' work-safe are the ones with labels (beware of comics with labels like 'safe-ish', 'semi-safe' or 'safesque', however -- they tend to be ones that are modest by ''Oglaf'' standards but questionable by work standards).

* AnythingThatMoves: And quite a few things that don't (or can't).

* CastFullOfGay: It's about a 50-50 chance whether any given strip's characters will like boys, girls, both, or [[AnythingThatMoves other.]]

* CantHaveSexEver: Ivan [[http://www.oglaf.com/cumsprite/5/ isn't even allowed to masturbate]], lest he gets in trouble. He did find a way around it, though.

** "intermission2" features a man who made a deer costume who gets another man to act as their "deer"'s second set of legs to ambush the prince while he hunts. They meet a male deer, who charges at them but the other man handles by pushing it in the face. When they meet a female deer, the man who made the costume "handles" them by having sex with them and the other man understandably questions if there was actually a prince at all.

** The reoccurring barbarian king (from "Skulls") [[https://www.oglaf.com/ssssss/ "Ssssss"]] has a man tossed into a SnakePit. The snakes don't bite him, but they can talk and promptly request him to leave because it's supposed to be a snake-only pit and unfortunately he can't get out of the pit since [[TabletopGame/SnakesAndLadders snakes hate ladders]]. Awkwardness ensues, which the king revels in.

** "The Cleansing" sees some [[FairySexy sexy pixies]] giving a guy an erotic facial cleansing. Unfortunately he has to be tied down for the safety of the pixies, so can't stop them when one of them squeezes soap subs directly into his eye, turning it painfully red.

** In "[[http://www.oglaf.com/gifted "Gifted,"]] a man is cursed to give the best fellatio in the world. If he uses his talent, he'll just be "the blowjob guy"; if he doesn't, he'll have to live with the knowledge that he has an awesome talent just going to waste. The spirit is proven right when the man tries to say he is now a world champion at something, only to remember what the spirit said and sadly say "nothing".

* WhipItGood: The last panel of one strip implies that Mistress is about to put this to good use on Ivan.

** In “Fieldwork”, a young man tries his hand at being a spy and attempts to infiltrate an enemy nation populated by hot people (despite being told the enemy would spot him a mile off). Unfortunately, he gives himself away by asking for state secrets during the middle of an orgy. Cue the young would-be spy [[HangingAround standing on the gallows with a rope around his neck]].

* OutDamnedSpot: In "[[https://www.oglaf.com/shaft/ Shaft]]", Ivan accidentally kills several guards and a monster the Mistress really liked with the Arrow of Regret. He gets the monster's blood on his hands throwing its corpse out the window, and can't get it to wash off no matter how much he tries, as the Lizard of Guilt reminds him.

* LamePunReaction: In "Hurly-Burly", three {{Hot Witch}}es read a man a prophecy that he will be king in a very... [[GirlOnGirlIsHot exhibitionist way]]. When he, uh, gets [[ADateWithRosiePalms a little too into observing the reading]], they announce that he will be "Wank-King" and disappear, laughing. As much as he enjoyed the setup, he was ''not'' impressed by the pun.

** Another man had the infamous [[JackassGenie wish dolly]] enchant his penis to make women orgasm instantly. Unfortunately, he discovers that [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor no one can last enough to reciprocate]]--not even his ''[[ADateWithRosiePalms hand]]''!

* TheCutie: The Snow Queen. Especially [[http://www.oglaf.com/justice here]].
* ADateWithRosiePalms: Ivan the Apprentice, constantly, even though for the longest time he was forbidden even this. He managed to find a way to beat the system though. ''Oglaf'' may be the only thing that's not ''Film/AmericanPie'' that managed to turn it into an important recurring plot point.
* DeadlyDisc[=/=]RingsOfDeath: [[http://oglaf.com/glamazon-way/ The Throwing Anus]] (SFW, as it's just [[Series/XenaWarriorPrincess Xena's]] chakram).
* DeadpanSnarker:
** Sandoval's valet/assistant in "Lament."
** Greir does this quite a bit.

* PainfulTransformation: In the two-parter “Butterflies”, a man ends up being persuaded to buy a sex-change potion [[BodyHorror only to find that the process involves him bloating and forming a blob-like chrysalis while his insides are dissolved and restructured.]] And even though it works perfectly he decides he's not his type anymore.
