History Webcomic / Weregeek

* WeaksauceWeakness: Silver is to werewolves what Tax forms, Red tape, insurance ads and C-Span is to geeks.

* ShoutOut: [[http://www.weregeek.com/2007/07/13/ This comic]] has a display case showing off a couple of [[{{Erfworld}} "Erf"]] miniatures, including a few dwagons, gwiffons, and marbits. Looking around, there's also [[Webcomic/QuestionableContent Pintsize]], the aptly-named Red Robot from Webcomic/DieselSweeties, Helix from Webcomic/{{Freefall}}, the Film/{{Serenity}}, the [[Franchise/StarTrek Starship Enterprise]], the [[Webcomic/SchlockMercenary Touch and Go]], and a few half-obscured [[Series/DoctorWho Daleks]].

* RandomNumberGod: The superstitions associated with this are discussed [[http://www.weregeek.com/2007/08/24/ here]].

* ShallowLoveInterest: Subverted with Mark's girlfriend Jess, who turns out to be much more perceptive and open-minded than she first appears like.

* LivingaDoubleLife: Eric doesn't want his 'normal' friends to find out he's secretly a geek.

** Or when Joel forgets to tell Eric that the larpers weren't really vampires.

* SurferDude: One of Eric's non-geek friends appears to be this. Even though he's only shown for 1 page he has shoulder length hair and talks about is an "awesome party" and uses "like" and "totally".
** In fact any time Eric talks to a "normal" friend or co-worker, they seem to be talking about "awesome parties".

* ShoutOut: [[http://www.weregeek.com/2007/07/13/ This comic]] has a display case showing off a couple of [[{{Erfworld}} "Erf"]] miniatures, including a few dwagons, gwiffons, and marbits.
** The page also features [[QuestionableContent Pintsize]], The aptly-named Red Robot from DieselSweeties, Helix from ''Freefall'', Film/{{Serenity}}, and the [[Franchise/StarTrek Starship Enterprise]].
** And one of the Schlock Mercenary ships.
** And a few half-obscured Daleks.
** The ''Film/{{Serenity}}'' in the upper right corner.
** All the decorations on [[http://www.weregeek.com/2007/12/24/ the Christmas tree]].
** And a model of [[QuestionableContent Pintsize]].

** Joel's answer is to deprogram them making them remember who they are... and being no better than his enemy tries brainwashing a hunter into a {{WWE}} geek.

* RetCon: Originally, Mark's half-orc had STR 20 but has since been dwindled to more realistic (under DungeonsAndDragons rules) score of 19.

* YaoiFangirl: Sarah and Abbie's discussion of ''{{Series/Merlin}}'' is rather telling.

** How did everyone miss [[Serenity the Serenity]] in the upper right corner?

* BerserkButton: Don't call CyberPunk stupid [[http://www.weregeek.com/2010/07/28/ in front of Abby]].

* PetitePride: Right after Katie and Sarah are busy complaining about how exspensive it is having to buy custom bras so they fit they glare scathingly at Abby who says she can just pick up from the rack at Wallmart for a fraction of the cost.

** This really gives more the impression that 'this' is what happens to the JerkJocks who waste high school picking on geeks.

** The page also features [[QuestionableContent Pintsize]], The aptly-named Red Robot from DieselSweeties, Helix from ''Freefall'', Film/{{Serenity}}, and the [[StarTrek Starship Enterprise]].

* BerserkButton: Don't call CyberPunk stupid [[http://www.weregeek.com/2010/07/28/ in front of Abby]].

*** That goes over 'really' well.

** And later that evening it has matured into full scale [[http://www.weregeek.com/2010/09/22/ Card Game Calvinball]].

* ClosetGeek: Mark. ''He'' knows about his nerdiness, but hides it from his co-workers and girlfriend for fear of being laughed at.

* EvenNerdsHaveStandards: The concept is referenced in [[http://www.weregeek.com/2009/12/07/ this]] strip.

* FantasticRacism: The hunters aparently hate the geeks for not being mainstream. They hunt the geeks even when their only crime is increasing market revenue by buying as many collectibles as they could carry simply because they occasionally turning into a shadow creature who would sooner play D&D than attack anyone.

* FilmNoir: The {{Shadowrun}} game is [[http://www.weregeek.com/2007/07/11/ intentionally styled]] after this genre.

'''Joel:''' Aww, thanks. You're making me blush!

* MacGyvering: Abbie's {{Shadowrun}} character Twitch is a [[http://www.weregeek.com/2007/07/06/ Techno Wizard]], and manages to combine this with [[http://www.weregeek.com/2007/07/04/ blatant]] PyroManiac streak into one piece of ComedicSociopathy.

* MysteriousWatcher: The ominously lurking [[http://www.weregeek.com/2007/05/14/ hunter]].

* FantasicRacism: The hunters aparently hate the geeks for not being mainstream. They hunt the geeks even when their only crime is increasing market revenue by buying as many collectibles as they could carry simply because they occasionally turning into a shadow creature who would sooner play D&D than attack anyone.

* GoodAngelBadAngel: For bonus points, [[http://www.weregeek.com/2008/02/01/ Sarah's angels]] look like her {{PC}}s: the StaffChick she plays in the D&D game for good angel and TheVamp from vampire LARP for bad angel. And her Shadowrun character as a neutral one.

** Joel's answer is to deprogram them making them remember who they are... and being no better than his enemy tries brainwashing a hunter into a {{WWF}} geek.

* OurVampiresAreDifferent: Actually, there are no vampires in the comic, just a few geeks who are ''very good'' at portraying them. [[OrIsIt Or are there?]]
