4	''[[https://www.youtube.com/@SexuaLobster/featured Greasy Tales]]'', formerly ''Sexualobster'' or ''Sexual-lobster'', is the online handle of Australian animator and musician Chris Voigt. His body of work consists of various shorts and series that are typically completely unconnected aside from sharing an irreverent, surreal comedic tone, transgressive storylines that frequently involve violence, drug abuse and sex, and his unique art and animation style. All of which is accompanied by the creator's original music and singing. Voigt got his start on Website/{{Newgrounds}} in 2005 before settling onto Youtube.

6	Some of the recurring series on ''Greasy Tales'' include:
7	* ''Greasy Moose'' (2005-present): The flagship series, which follows the trio of Fernando the Manwhore, Gooseman, and Randy on their misadventures through Pleasure Island and later on, their attempts to expand their company Manwhore Industries through unscrupulous means.
8	* ''Meth Orcs'' (2016-present): Orc warrior Treshtog goes on an epic fantastical quest...for meth.
9	* ''Great Destiny Man'' (2010-present): Great Destiny Man, [[BlatantLies who is definitely not based on]] [[Creator/StevenSeagal Steven Seagal]], goes on a quest to achieve his great destiny - and winds up ruining a lot of people's lives in the process.
10	* ''Raw Latex'' (2013-2016): A {{Mon}} parody where people fight using sex toys strapped to their foreheads.
11	* ''Ragemelon'' (2012-2016): The rage-fueled watermelon Ragemelon fights crime in a world full of AnthropomorphicFood and FunnyAnimals.
12	* ''Sweet Boy Beach'' (2017-2020): Follows the lives of [[PrettyBoy achingly pretty]] beach bums Cuthbert and Dante.
13	* ''Angry Dog'' (2006-2008): A vulgar SitCom starring FunnyAnimals.

17	----
18	!! Greasy Tales provides examples of:
19	* AfterTheEnd: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZswE-KirTc4&t=125s "What if ur mom was anime?"]] has Tracksuit Man asking questions back and forth with an extremely weird man on a payphone in a destroyed town.
20	* AnachronicOrder: The Manwhore Industries episodes all take place after ''Pleasure Island'', but the latter series wasn't completed until ''Final Climax'' dropped in 2020.
21	* AnimatedMusicVideo: He has a ton of original songs, which range from predictably bawdy ("Rectal Computer") to surprisingly poignant ("Fill My Black Hole") but still suggestive, and each one has an animated music video.
22	* AssShove: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-bYSC6OT6s "Rectal Computer"]]:
23	--> ''I went to the doctor cause my gut was playing up,''
24	--> ''He said son your throat is too small I'm gonna have to put this up your butt,''
25	--> ''He bent me over and told me to think of something pleasant,''
26	--> ''It felt like he had a handful of stuffing and I was some kind of pheasant''
27	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXpdE-OEchE "Dragon Ball Z - Proctology Academy"]] ends with Vegeta preparing to give Goku a rectal examination, pulling on his rubber gloves while bearing a SlasherSmile.
28	* ArtEvolution: Chris' earlier animations had a rough, vaguely-{{Animesque}} artstyle with thick lines. Beginning around 2009 he began transitioning to his current refined style. While most of his pre-2009 material is exclusive to Newgrounds, the evolution can be seen pretty clearly on [=YouTube=] between ''Pleasure Island 1'' and ''2''.
29	* AuthorAvatar: The channel's mascot (as shown above), who's depicted as a [[SelfDeprecation crazy-eyed greasy shut-in who never blinks]], is meant to be a self-insert of Voigt himself.
30	* BaitAndSwitch: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=377Qjg0Fxog "The Girl on TV"]] starts off as a song about a StalkerWithACrush - who ends up witnessing his crush summon the demon god Glycon in a satanic ritual, plunging the world in darkness.
31	* BigDamnHeroes: In ''Pleasure Island 4'', [[spoiler:Gooseman finds himself pinned by the Crab-Walrus, screaming in anticipation of its laser blast, when Fernando saves him in the nick of time by spearing it in the back.]]
32	* ContinuityCreep: ''Greasy Moose'' started off as standalone skits that happened to feature the same couple of characters, frequently resulting in situations such as major characters like Gooseman [[TheyKilledKenny dying and coming back in the next episode]] and characters changing personalities willy-nilly. With ''Pleasure Island'', the series began to follow a chronological continuity with clearly-defined characters.
33	* DarkestHour: PlayedForLaughs in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaO7rrdo0yw "Despair"]], where Tracksuit Man is contemplating suicide after getting overwhelmed with emails, particularly one requesting a sponsorship for ''VideoGame/RaidShadowLegends''.
34	* DestructiveSavior: Ragemelon takes revenge on Black Stabbath for [[spoiler:killing a mother duck and her babies in front of Ragemelon]] by obliterating him (and the club full of people he's in) with dynamite. When the Police Chief expresses dismay at the civilian casualties, Ragemelon insists there "was no other way!"
35	* DisproportionateRetribution: In [[https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/504658 ''Pleasure Island 2'']]: How does Gooseman respond to a man who nonchalantly refuses to tell him where the Walrus Pits where? Why, smash his head in like a grape, of course.
36	* DoubleEntendre: Pretty much all of his original songs are barely-hidden sexual references. You'd have to be ''extremely'' sheltered to not understand what "Vertical Seafood Taco" is about.
37	* ElectionDayEpisode: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eheR968jD3M Gooseman Runs for Office]]", where Gooseman runs for a senate seat while accusing eight government officials of being lizards and fighting off allegations of running an organ-harvesting ring (the latter of which is definitely true). [[spoiler:He doesn't win, but isn't too upset by it.]]
38	* EverythingIsOnline: Not only is the narrator's rectal computer in "Rectal Computer" somehow internet-capable, it gets hacked and reprogrammed to give him gas.
39	* FantasticDrug: While plenty of real-world drugs get consumed on ''Greasy Tales'', there are several made-up ones that are just as bad.
40	** Gendo's berries in ''Great Destiny Man'', which are basically magic mushrooms with the added benefit of granting mild [[MundaneUtility magic resistance]].
41	** Todd [=McGovern's=] Mexican jumping beans, which when consumed have a similar effect to cocaine, complete with nosebleeds.
42	** ''Meth Orcs'' inverts this trope: despite taking place in a StandardFantasySetting, the drug of choice is crystal meth.
43	* GreenAesop: Parodied in a twisted way by "Captain Planet Rampage", where the mass destruction Captain Planet wreaks is said to have released more carbon dioxide than human industry ever did. The lesson is, don't set the world ablaze to cover up your crimes because it's bad for the environment.
44	* HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood: Billy's dad in [[https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/697267 "Razor Blades"]] drunkenly smashes a beer bottle across his face, only to shout "someone glassed Billy!" once he realized what he did. His parents simply bandage up his face (his ''entire'' face, leaving him blind) and drop him off at summer camp. This may sound awful, but it wraps right back around to hilarious when Billy rips off his bandages and reveals the glassing somehow made him ridiculously handsome, a la [[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants Handsome Squidward]].
45	* NiceJobBreakingItHero: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DB-naKTN-eE In his first episode]], Great Destiny Man slays some spirits who confronted him in a forest. Instead of getting thanked by the ragged girl who shows up afterwards, he gets cussed out for killing the forest's guardian spirits, thus dooming her village to outside attack.
46	* GoodThingYouCanHeal: Ragemelon is able to pull himself back together pretty quickly after being completely splattered. [[spoiler:Just not quite quickly enough to stop Black Stabbath from killing a mother duck and her ducklings.]]
47	* ILoveTheDead: "Cops On Fire With Erections": After killing a man and scratching the hell out of his face, Death and the cat decide to have sex with his body, pretty much [[RandomEventsPlot just because]].
48	* IceCreamKoan: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouOWXQIDSY8 "Saten & Jezus"]]: A dragon spits out a businessman, a eagle drops an egg that contains a businesswoman, and the two get trampled by prancing beasts until they meet up to consider their existences. Jesus (on a sea turtle) and Satan (on a giant cat) show up to try to convince the two to join them on their respective rides. An allegory for salvation versus temptation in Christianity? Or just more surreal humor that isn't meant to be taken seriously?
49	* IntercourseWithYou: Fernando's "Manwhore" series of songs, though his come-ons are more bizarre and vaguely threatening than sexy.
50	** From [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ss7AQC79t2s "Quest of the Manwhore"]]:
51	--> ''My rhymes will grab you by the throat''
52	--> ''And ride you like a sturdy goat''
53	--> ''I will drown you in my scent''
54	--> ''with or without your consent''
55	* KlingonPromotion: In "Fernando and the South American Swap Meat", Gooseman, Fernando, and Randy take over Pleasure Island after defeating Vera and the Pleasure Police.
56	* LittleBitBeastly: Catboys are a recurring theme in his animations: The Catboy Assassins that attack Treshtog in ''Meth Orcs'', the Greek catboys in ''Prince of Vibes'', and his own self-insert making out with [[Literature/ReZero Felix Argyle]].
57	* MadScientist: Doctor Von Ironfist, secondary antagonist of ''Pleasure Island'', is a parody of one who splices together random creatures into monstrosities, some of which are completely ineffective (the "man-beetle-eel" with 10 tiger spleens, educated with pictures of him in a dress that he then gave herpes somehow, predictably falls immediately to Gooseman), while others are surprisingly dangerous (the "crab walrus", which is able to fight [[SuperStrength Gooseman]] to near victory).
58	* OutOfGenreExperience: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsYXkaZft1E "Lovely Walrus"]] has a live-action video, featuring Chris in the flesh playing instruments and singing while superimposed over imagery of walruses.
59	* PenalColony: Pleasure Island itself was intended to house convicts and it is currently run by a dominatrix and her gang of sexually deviant thugs - yet, it's also popular as an idyllic holiday destination.
60	* RippedFromTheHeadlines: "What if ur mum was anime?" jokes about Prince Andrew's controversial association with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
61	* SunglassesAtNight: Gooseman never takes his off, even when entering a dark cave, as Fernando points out in ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6g8MX0Vd9PY World's Greatest Manwhore Pt. 2]]''.
62	-->'''Fernando''': "Take your sunglasses off, that might help."
63	-->'''Gooseman''': "Never!"
64	* RandomEventsPlot: Any video that isn't part of an established series like ''Pleasure Island'' where Chris lets his viewers write the plot inevitably turns into this. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPbhhqlFERk "Cops On Fire With Erections"]] is probably the most egregious.
65	* ReallyGetsAround: Fernando may be ''the'' Manwhore, but it's shown that Randy and Gooseman get plenty of action as well.
66	* SchizoTech: The world of ''Meth Orcs'' is a StandardFantasySetting with fictional races like orcs and elves and weapons technology seemingly stuck in MedievalStasis - yet somehow, the technology (or magic) and knowledge to synthesize methamphetamine is available and widespread.
67	* ShaggyDogStory: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79IIbOZmwvI "Meth Orcs: The Stench of Failure"]], Treshtog [[spoiler:loses his friends and [[UrineTrouble gets covered in own his own urine]], only to find out that the meth chest he was transporting was actually full of quartz]].
68	* SurrealHumor: His works are as weird as they are funny.
69	* TooDumbToLive: In [[https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/641963 ''Ultimate Street Yacht Battle'']], Fernando gets tasked with fencing some gold that Gooseman stole from a Russian bullion dealer. Along the way, he gets distracted by a yoghurt shop and winds up trying to sell the gold to the very same Russians Gooseman stole from. Needless to say, [[DistressedDude he gets captured]] and it's up to Gooseman and Randy to rescue him.
70	** The protagonist from "My Mother-in-Law is a Scorpion" thought it was a good idea to insult a scorpion the size of a human being. His mother-in-law paralyzes his legs for his trouble.
71	* UnstoppableRage: Ragemelon's whole raison d'etre.
72	* TheVerse: ''Greasy Tales'' is made up of stories that take place in completely different universes that are connected via the common themes of quirky characters, transgressive storylines that often involve drugs and sex, and greasiness (both metaphorically and ''literally'').
73	* ViciousCycle: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcW7ttZfZ8c&t=45s "Captain Planet Rampage"]]: A freakout leads Captain Planet to kill a police officer and two children, and to cover this up he decides to eliminate all witnesses. Unfortunately, these killings only attract more witnesses, leading him into a spiral of destruction that ends with him basically setting the whole world ablaze.
