Nightmare Fuel / Kick the Buddy

Go To

While the game is mostly Played for Laughs, some of the methods used for torturing Buddy can be genuinely unsettling, especially if you have blood enabled. Just think that if Buddy were a human instead of a cartoon rag doll, this would turn into essentially a horror game.


  • The Wheel of Misfortune gives you a random choice between dousing Buddy in acid, making his head explode with a Brown Note, turning him into swiss cheese through a firing squad, and reducing him to Ludicrous Gibs through a laser grid.
  • A lot in the Bio Weapons category, as most of them tend to rely on Body Horror. You can cause worms to burst out of Buddy with the Parasite weapon, cover him in mold and disintegrate him with Fungus Vulgaris, cause his flesh to be eaten away with Bacteria, make him laugh himself to death with Laughing Gas, the list goes on.
