Line 6:
Maduin is one of the individuals the title ''Sage'' was passed onto when [[White Elephants|Robert]] went into hiding, [[Anomalous Data|Jay]] perished, and [[Testing 123|Shaun]] was retitled ''Guide''. Later Maduin took up the title ''Jester'', instead, when Redlight came into the picture and attempted to discredit Robert, which caused the Role and Title System to fall from favor.
 
Maduin has sadly passed on. but you can read how [http://worstjestever.blogspot.com here] and [https://web.archive.org/web/20120726074918/http://maduin.tumblr.com/ here]
 
=== Tropes associated with ''A Really Bad Joke'': ===
 
----
{{tropelist}}
* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: Maduin getting ganged up on by proxies and Slendy?! Adrian to the rescue!
* [[Black and Gray Morality]]: From the very first post, Maduin makes it clear that he's going to do things that will get him some hate, and he does. In fact, he takes a play right out of [[Anomalous Data|Jay's]] playbook and deliberately introduces people to [[The Slender Man Mythos]] and then studies how they cope.
Line 17:
* [[Crowning Moment of Funny]]: Well, for starters, just about every other thing Maduin does, but for more detail:
** Making a rabbit mask [http://worstjestever.blogspot.com/2010/11/masks.html pictured here], to play up on Slender Man's [[Blue and Orange Morality]] to protect himself by hiding behind what would be perceived as another personality.
** Capturing an agent, then dressing him up like Slendy and propping him in front of a mirror, then waiting for him to wake up and see himself. Maduin stayed back and [[Freak -Out|watched the fun.]]
** Then he actually gave Slim [[Memetic Mutation|twenty American dollars]], leaving a very confused [[Eldritch Abomination]] in his wake.
** Following that, he stuck a mask with a distinctly human face onto Slender Man and [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|actually made Slender Man]] [[Freak -Out]].
* [[Emotion Eater]]: What Maduin theorizes the Slender Man to be: a being that thrives on negativity generated by humans. He doesn't think positivity hurts Him, but does limit him, which is why Maduin uses humor and good cheer as weaponry.
** In support of this, the person who he introduced to the Mythos via [[Nightmare Retardant]] got over it easily, while both the others have seen Slendy and had stretches of [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]].
Line 25:
* [[Genre Blind]]: Adrian. He's still under the delusion that he and Maduin can survive the war Slendy is waging on humanity.
* [[Heroes]]: What Maduin thinks we need, but not one to die in the process of defeating Slendy, but to conquer and live.
* [[Hot -Blooded]]: Maduin's new sidekick, Adrian.
* [[Humanoid Abomination]]: See ''The Blank''.
* [[Kick the Dog]]: like Jay before him, he's intentionally introduced people to Slender Man knowing what would happen. To his credit, he is no where near as cold about it as Jay was.
Line 31:
* [[Meaningful Name]]: 'Maduin' sounds an awful lot like both '[[Awful Truth|mad one]]' and '[[Crazy Awesome|mad win]]'.
* [[Noodle Implements]]: On recreating Prank #4, which he lost in a Proxy attack:
{{quote| Since the Christmas/Solstice season is over I'm gonna abandon the miniature Christmas tree in favour of a pineapple, also I'll require some thick wire (as in wire-fence thick wire, not ethernet thick wire) some colorful rags and maybe a few sparklers. Anybody who is going to ask what I intend to do with this, as Adrian has, doesn't understand that there's only so many things you can do with a pineapple and wire.}}
* [[Rule of Three]]: Both Invoked and Lampshaded [http://worstjestever.blogspot.com/2010/11/i-hate-clowns.html here].
* [[Running Gag]]: He never quite gets a chance to use #4, as it keeps getting stolen or destroyed.
