Goofus is the reason why people get warned about their doors being unlocked.

Gallant is right behind you.

Goofus is nowhere to be found.


Gallant wears headphones when listening to music on public transport.

Goofus is that guy who turned his radio up louder when he was asked to turn it down.

Gallant paid attention in Driver's Ed and earned his driver's license.

Goofus also paid attention, but intentionally disobeyed instructions during his test resulting in tragedy. He is now serving life in jail for numerous counts of "manslaughter"

Gallant ignores and scrolls past stuff on the internet he doesn't like.

Goofus is the one posting most of it.


Gallant buys ethically sourced products exclusively.

Goofus specifically buys from companies notoriously mistreating their employees and polluting the environment.


When playing a team game, Gallant always keeps in mind what skills the other team members have so that everyone can use their skills to full potential.

Goofus says, "Team? What team? The only skill you losers need to have is making sure I get to show everybody in the crowd how awesome MY skills are, got it?"

Gallant helps his sister with her chores.

Even though there’s a line at his favorite amusement park ride, Gallant knows that it’s worth the wait.

Goofus camped out in a long line at a Crappy Carnival for months, only to find out that the ride he wanted to get on turned out to be a House of Broken Mirrors.

Gallant doesn't take conspiracy theories seriously.

Neither does Goofus, really. But he gets a real kick out of inventing new ones and convincing as many people as he can that they're true.

Gallant volunteered to look after his friend's kitten while she was away.

The time Goofus looked after his friend's kitten, he didn't feed it and was surprised when his friend got mad at him for letting it nearly starve to death.


Gallant uses his time machine to observe the past, not changing it in any way.

Goofus uses his time machine to create as much havoc as possible, notably vandalizing several famous works of art, doing vastly inappropriate things in the middle of major historic events, and at one point even killing a young Austrian man named Adolf so he can instead rise to power and become Literally Hitler and then bail once it becomes evident that the Allies are going to win the war.

––––

Gallant is always kind to the people he plays games with, even online.

[up][up]Goofus used his time machine, and tried to kill Churchill during WWII instead of Hitler.

[nja][up]Goofus abuses people online, whether he wins or loses, and takes pleasure in getting them riled up.


Gallant offers honest, yet constructive and helpful criticism whenever his friends ask for advice on their creative projects, taking time to understand the themes and goals are of whatever they're working on, so as to tailor his criticism to best help them succeed.

Goofus says “it’s shit lol” and eats whatever they were working on.

Gallant the Great is a genuine magician that doesn’t con people or steal from them.

“Now! Let us engage in the art of deduction!”

Goofus yells that he's a magician to people as he runs up to them before knocking them over the head with a pipe and stealing their wallet and any other valuables they have on their person.


Gallant keeps his fingernails and toenails trimmed at an acceptable level always.

Goofus's pirated copy of Game Dev Tycoon not only isn't winnable, it destroys his computer if he tries to hack it back to winnability.

Gallant has a losing streak, but he patiently waits for it to end.

Goofus shouts racist slurs over the voice chat until people become too uncomfortable and leave the round.

Goofus let you down.

Gallant knows that you don't like the same shows as him and respects your feelings.

Umm... so, personally... this is the first time this has happened, so I'm a bit surprised. Only a centimetre away...

Goofus ignores them and just puts anything he remembers, which is shitty fanon.

Gallant is against internet piracy, but only punishes the one who made those piracy sites, and makes sure his works are available and affordable.
