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]]. |
