Line #22 WebAnimation/Blockhead


1	Blockhead is a WebAnimation series found on {{Website/Newgrounds}} created by Michael Swain. The series follows CloudCuckooLander extraordinaire Blockhead as he wreaks havoc everywhere he goes. Along for the ride is a fat balding man credited as his Conscience, who is only able to watch as his host ruins everything he goes near.

3	While mostly a comedic series, there was a miniseries titled "Time Squad", in which Blockhead goes along on a time travelling sci-fi adventure to stop a MadScientist from causing The End of The Universe.

5	To give you an idea of what Blockhead is like, he did these things in the space of an hour; Scared his neighbours and the mailman, broke his T.V., stole a new one, caused thousands of dollars worth of property damage while stealing said T.V, caused havoc at a nearby primary school, evaded the FBI for about four minutes, got thrown into prison, caused a riot, escaped from prison, destroyed a Russian space station, and then went home. It has also been strongly implied that Blockhead is in fact hundreds of years old in Time Squad, and that he's a genetic experiment to create the ultimate saboteur in Blockhead: the Game. Either way, everything he touches, breaks.

9	!!The Series provides Examples of:
10
11	* ArtEvolution: The art and animation gets incredibly good later on.
12	%%* BigBad: Time Squad has the mad scientist.
13	* BreakingTheFourthWall: In episode 7:
14	--> '''Conscience''': I wanna wring your neck. Squeeze the life right out of you.
15	--> [''The ending music starts playing'']
16	--> '''Blockhead''': Ahahahahaha! Maybe next time fat man!
17	--> '''Conscience''': No, stop the music we're not done here.
18	--> [''The ending music stops'']
19	* ChaoticStupid: Blockhead is the living embodiment of this trope taken to its logical extreme.
20	* ChainsawGood: Blockhead breaks some dude out of a mental institute with a chainsaw in episode 11.
21	--> "Haha! Ahaha! ''Where did I get this?!'' Ahahaha! Wahaha! TOOT TOOT!
22	%%* CloudCuckooLander: Blockhead, like you couldn't believe.
23	* CaptainErsatz: The Conscience is quite obviously channeling [[WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce Carl]], which works quite well.
24	* ClicheStorm: the entire joke behind Time Squad is that it’s got every time travel/action movie trope in the book…with Blockhead blundering through all of it.
25	* ContinuityNod: The Scientist cameos in Blockhead: "The Game" [[spoiler:[[FaceHeelTurn before he turned evil.]]]]
26	* CompanionCube: In episode 10, [[spoiler:Blockhead's goal is to create a fake turtle out of random pieces of trash.]]
27	%%* DeadpanSnarker: The Conscience.
28	%%* TheDitz: To the extreme.
29	* DrivenToSuicide: The Conscience kills himself whenever he can no longer tolerate Blockhead's oustanding stupidity. This happens several times in the series, and is the GameOver animation in Blockhead: "The Game".
30	* ExtremeOmnivore: He eats toasters, tongs, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and hats]].
31	%%* HeroAntagonist: Blockhead's conscience.
32	* IdiotHoudini: Impossibly so. Because, or rather resulting of this, Swain says Blockhead is his idea of "A perfect world". Constantly lampshaded by Conscience, who is absolutely horrified that Blockhead is either still alive or not locked up somewhere.
33	%%* IdiotHero: Blockhead in Time Squad.
34	* InsultBackfire: In episode 10, Blockheads Conscience asks Blockhead if he's out of his mind. Blockhead responds with an enthusiastic nod.
35	* ItsAWonderfulFailure: In ''The Game'', failing a level causes the Conscience to kill himself and then displays a results screen with Blockhead happily wreaking havoc in the city.
36	* LethallyStupid: Technically, no-one has died at Blockhead's hands yet (not counting the Conscience's occasional suicides), but the Conscience has every right to be worried.
37	* ManOfAThousandVoices: Swain voices all the male characters.
38	* MeaningfulName: He's not called Blockhead for nothing.
39	%%* MundaneMadeAwesome: Introducing: TOOONGS!
40	* OverlyLongTongue: Blockhead's tongue seems rather long.
41	* PersonofMassDestruction: The Conscience claims that he's the only thing preventing Blockhead from destroying everything the world holds dear. The GameOver image for the Game more-or-less confirms it.
42	* PrimaryColorChampion: Blockhead has yellow skin, a red shirt, and blue pants.
43	* PsychopathicManchild: The Conscience's first question upon hearing that Blockhead went to the park is "Did anyone die?"
44	* RashomonStyle: Episode 7. An odd variation, as all of the vastly different accounts are from [[UnreliableNarrator Blockhead's]] perspective.
45	* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Blockhead was alive in Romania, circa 1764... somehow.
46	%%* SeeminglyProfoundFool: Blockhead in "Time Squad"
47	%%* TalkativeLoon: Guess who.
48	%% ^No, you're supposed to tell us, not ask us to guess.
49	%%* TheWatcher: The Conscience.
50	%%* TooDumbToLive: Blockhead, obviously.
51	%%* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Tongs.
52	* WeCanRuleTogether: The Scientist of Time Squad sees Blockhead as his equal [[spoiler: since they were apparently former partners]] and tells him that there will always be a place for him in his Empire of Nothingness. Blockheads just wants him to [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Sign! His! Velociraptor!]]
53	* VillainProtagonist: Subverted somewhat in that Blockhead is somewhat amoral.
54	%%* YouMeanXmas:
