"Goofus and Gallant" is a feature in Highlights for Children Magazine where two boys names Gallant (good) and Goofus (bad) would teach examples of what is good and bad to do, such as "Goofus bosses his friends. Gallant asks them what they want to do."

Boooooo-riiiiing. In this game, we aim to create examples like "Gallant knows only games rated E for Everyone are appropriate for him. Goofus knows how to rip his opponent's spine out in Mortal Kombat." Say what Goofus would do in the above situation, then give an example of something Gallant would do. Rule of Funny is in full effect, so be creative!

Let's begin:

"Gallant volunteers at the local soup kitchen."

"Goofus steals soup from hobos." "Gallant helps the elderly." I'm glad to find a Forum Game that does not literally have over 9000 posts.

Goofus wakes up at 3 PM, naked and jerks off.

Gallant carefully assembles a crisply starched outfit to convey gentility and breeding.

V Yeah, just noticed. Fixed.

Goofus draws a picture of an outfit eating Gallant. (If we're using Gus, and him being even more of a normal kid...) Gus laughs at Goofus's picture.

Gallant cuts his sandwiches into halves and eats them with a fork and knife.

Goofus eats spam straight from the can.

Gallant makes sure all of his posts in the debate team forums his father urges him to participate in are spelled correctly and use proper grammar at all times.

The way this works, as I understand it:

Gallant visits an old folks' home every Saturday.

Goofus eats the poor and gives the remains to the dump. Then steals from the rich.

Gallant turns the music volume down when others complain.

Goofus keeps the air conditioning on full-blast, has several fans on at the same time, and leaves the freezer open.

Gallant holds the door open for women (even when they bitch at him, claiming that they don't need a man to hold their forrs for them).

Goofus always smashes doors into other's faces on purpose.

Gallant never leaves his TV or computer on standby.
