8	''[[http://www.foddy.net/CLOP.html CLOP]]'' is a game that is extremely similar to ''VideoGame/{{QWOP}}''. In this game, you play as a unicorn instead of an Olympic runner, with the same amount of difficulty and falling over as QWOP has. At the beginning of the game, a man named Sherrod (who is dressed in modern-day clothing) tells you in YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe that there is a virgin on the other side of a hill that needs to see you. In the [[NintendoHard slim chance that you do complete the game and make it to the end]], it turns out that this was all a prank by the man, and you see an image of clop trampling him.

10	It's pretty much the same as ''QWOP'', just with a little extra humor added in.

12	!!This video game provides examples of:
13	* AbnormalLimbRotationRange: This happens quite a bit when you fall down.
14	%%* AffectionateParody: Of ''VideoGame/{{QWOP}}''.%%How?
15	* DeadlyPrank: Sherrod plays one of these on Clop, trying to get him over the hill when he presumably knows how difficult and dangerous it is for him to walk, only to have him find out at the end that it was all just a joke.
16	* TheDogBitesBack: The human who tricked Clop into climbing the hill for nothing evidently forgot that Clop's body has four built-in blunt instruments.
17	* HaveANiceDeath: Sherrod makes fun of you every time you fall down.
18	* MechanicalHorse: While Clop is a flesh-and-blood unicorn, he moves very mechanically.
19	* NintendoHard: Just like QWOP, the game is extremely difficult.
20	* ThePratfall: Added hilarity coming from a unicorn falling on its back rather than a human, who could get up easily.
21	* PunBasedTitle: The name is a pun of QWOP.
22	%%* SillyWalk: Very silly indeed.%%How?
23	* SomewhereAnEquestrianIsCrying: Well, it's a good thing that unicorns are immortal, or else Clop would have died a long time ago. Horses are NOT supposed to bend that way...
24	* {{Understatement}}: "Thou knowest I mislike hills." Apparently attempting to walk anywhere will likely lead to this poor unicorn sustaining all kinds of horrible injuries...
25	* YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe: All over the place, to the great fury of {{Grammar Nazi}}s.
