1''Cox and Combes' Washington'' is a 2½-minute long musical short created by Creator/BradNeely. The short was what first garnered Neely the attention of Super Deluxe.com. As its name suggests the short centered around a MemeticBadass revision of UsefulNotes/GeorgeWashington as narrated by the CreasedComics characters Cox and Combes. The short derives its humor mostly from visual gags and the larger than larger than life exploits of George Washington.

5!The Short includes the following tropes:
6* AcidPool: Washington dunks an opponent's wife's hand into a jar of acid. At a party.
7* AnachronismStew: Washington picking up a telephone
8* AmbiguouslyGay: Cox and Combes seem a bit too concerned with how many testicles and/or penises George Washington possessed.
9%%* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking
10* AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: ''Twelve stories tall made of radiation. The present beware, the future beware, he's coming, he's coming.''
11* BagOfHolding: Washington somehow manages to stuff several horses into his pocket.
12* BigEater: At one point Washington apparently eats the entire rear half of a nearby deer with a single bite.
13* BodyHorror: Washington apparently has both a brain in his head AND in place of his heart, and his body is allegedly covered from head to toe in penises.
14* BrainFood: Washington eats the brains of his enemies.
15* ComboPlatterPowers: Washington is shown to shoot lasers, fly, have super strength, control water, kick people in half, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking swordfight]]. He's also shown transforming into a centaur at one point, though it's not made clear if this is one of his powers or just something that happened.
16* CoolHorse: His is made out of crystal.
17%%* EvenTheGuysWantHim
18* DarkAndTroubledPast: Washington killed his sensei in a duel, but never said why. The animation shows him blinking back tears after doing so.
19* EyeBeams: How Washington kills with a stare.
20* HeroicComedicSociopath: Washington again.
21-->''"Washington, Washington/ Six foot 20, fucking killing for fun."''
22* HistoricalBadassUpgrade: Though it's irrefutably true that Washington performed most of the actions in the video, Cox and Combes give him several extra penises.
23* HookersAndBlow: Washington INVENTED cocaine.
24* InsistentTerminology: His enemies are always called "opponents".
25* InterspeciesRomance: He fucks the shit out of bears.
26* KickTheDog: Plenty of it on Washington's part. It's balanced out by the fact that [[PetTheDog he's the loving owner of a pet Schnauzer.]]
27* MadeOfPlasticine: Washington's opponents, although it's also possible that he really is strong enough to kick a man in half.
28* ManlyTears: When Washington kills his sensei in a duel. (But never says why.)
29* NoodleIncident: Most of the song, but the "killed a sensei in a duel and never said why" and throwing a knife into heaven stand out.
30* PetTheDog: Washington saving children... [[MoralMyopia as long as they're not British]].
31%%* RuleOfFunny
32* RunningGag: Washington's height increases each time it's mentioned.
33* ShoutOut:
34** Two to Music/{{Prince}}: on the line "Sue me if I go to fast," itself a lyric from "1999," one of the characters brandishes the Purple One's custom "Love Symbol" guitar. Later, it's said that Washington has a (literal) "pocket full of horses," which paraphrases a line from "Little Red Corvette" which is slang for having condoms.
35** Instead of just crossing the Delaware, Washington parts it [[Literature/TheBible ala Moses]].
