5	''[[http://dailyderp.tumblr.com The Daily Derp]]'' is a [[GagPerDayWebcomics gag-per-day]] [[FanWebcomics fan webcomic]] drawn by Tetra since March 2012, featuring the clumsy pegasus Derpy Hooves from ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic''. The strip is highly random; sometimes humorous, sometimes adorable, sometimes weird.

7	Since December 2012, it is featured on the front page of the [[http://derpyhoovesnews.com/ Derpy Hooves News]] website.

9	New comics became less and less frequent throughout late 2013 and early 2014, until the series stopped updating entirely with Comic #359 in April 2014. The Daily Derp resumed regular turnout in the winter of 2014, but then stopped again with Comic #397 in February 2015. Aside from a double-length comic on April 1st of that year, updates have again ceased.

26	* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: A lot of the strip titles are a play on the phrase "The Daily Derp", or simply include the word "derp" somewhere. Even moreso in the older strips, which almost always had the title "The Daily Derp" with some letters changed randomly.
27	* IntentionalEngrishForFunny: Derpy speaks with strange grammar sometimes, for example beginning her statements with "is".
28	* LostFoodGrievance: [[https://dailyderp.tumblr.com/post/23491896641/derpy-tip-but-sometimes-bad-people A dragon stealing her muffin]] leads Derpy to become [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim the Dovahkiin]].

33	* TheRant: One-line comments, usually said by Derpy herself. Originally called "Derpy Tips", even though they weren't always actual advice.
34	* ShoutOut: [[http://dailyderp.tumblr.com/post/37801679647/derpy-so-many-questions-that-i-dont-have-time-to The Daily XKD3RP]] mimics ''Webcomic/{{XKCD}}''.

41	* [[UnusualChapterNumbers Unusual Comic Numbering]]: Towards the end of the second run, the creator apparently forgot how to number the strips. Comic #367 was accidentally posted early, after #363. There are two #366's but no #365. There is no Comic #383 but two #384's (one of which comes ''after'' #385), two different #386's, and #387 comes after #388. Considering [[CloudCuckoolander the subject of the strip]], though, one can see it as just par for the course.
42	* WordPureeTitle: Used frequently, especially early on. "Phe Duxly Derp", "Tma Daily Berp", "Th3 Drily Terp". Later strips have titles just as weird, but more [[WordSaladTitle salad-y]].
