3''Horatio the Third Senior Manjensen With Knuckles'' is a game based on a hypothetical idea for a game conceived by the LetsPlay/HoboBros, which they [[WritingByTheSeatOfYourPants made up on the fly]] while playing ''VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBrosWii'' (see [[https://youtu.be/8wBnvsxSTVk here]]). They came up with the idea of a game starring a talking tree (with an emoji for a head) who must collect seven sacred watermelons to save the world from Doobie [=McDickhead=], an evil talking chainsaw.

5Some time later, some game developers got together and turned the Hobo Bros' idea into an actual game.

7The game has unfortunately ceased development as of April 21st, 2019, but you can still download the latest demo right [[https://horatiotsm.wordpress.com/ here]]. Or you can watch the Hobo Bros themselves play it [[https://youtu.be/aQxAMP7sc68 here]].

9!!This game contains examples of:
10* BigBad: Doobie [=McDickhead=].
11* CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot: PlayedForLaughs. Horatio runs off to begin his adventure before Morgan Treeman could give him a weapon that would apparently have given him the ability to beat the game instantly.
12* TheDragon: Donald Trump is conspiring with Doobie to destroy all forests and take over the world.
13* DudeInDistress: Horatio's brother has been kidnapped by the villains. Horatio goes on his journey to save his brother.
14* FoulFlower: The first enemies encountered in-game are anthropomorphic flowers with scary faces. Even the [[SignpostTutorial signpost]] that introduces them notes how freaky they look.
15* GreenAesop: Parodied. The villain is a living chainsaw with other living demolition tools as henchmen. His goal is to destroy all the forests in America to replace them with factories. The hero is a tree who fights to save the forests. It's all done in an intentionally over-the-top and hilarious way.
16* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Morgan Treeman, the BigGood, is a parody of Creator/MorganFreeman.
17* ThePoorlyChosenOne: PlayedForLaughs and combined with MediumAwareness. Morgan Treeman says he doesn't understand why the game developers chose a tree with an emoji face to be the chosen one to save the world.
18* PunnyName: One of Doobie's minions is an axe named Jack Axe (jackass.)
19* SignpostTutorial: The first level features signposts that tell you how to play.
20* StylisticSuck: The whole game is done in an intentionally crude style resembling something drawn in MS Paint.
21* VillainOpeningScene: The game opens with a cutscene of Doobie and his henchmen discussing their plan to take over the world.
