Cloudcuckoolander/Web Comics: Difference between revisions

* Sapphire Gem, the zombie girl from ''[[Monsterful]]'' , an extremely random protagonist. In these ''[http://www.monsterful.com/chapter07page04.htm/ two]'' ''[http://www.monsterful.com/chapter07page05.htm/ pages]'' a nice example is given, there are a ton others though. She's also an [[Idiot Hero]], and these two traits combined always lead to instant madness.

* Largo from ''[[Megatokyo]]'' at first finds it hard to tell the difference between the real world and the videogame world. Then it turns out the ''Megatokyo'' world is indeed a conglomeration of anime and videogame tropes. Which just shows you can be [[Genre Savvy]] and a Cloudcuckoolander at the same time; in fact, it can be an advantage if the situation you're in is itself insane. Largo is just [[Crazy Awesome]]; which helps him in the insanity of the setting.

* Every single character (save for Jame and maybe Liln) in ''[[Terror Island]]''. Sid and Stephen (the main characters) are especially bad, what with the groceries and all that.

{{quote|'''Stephen:''' It's strange how we have an invisible postal worker who delivers the mail by altering history so it was always here.

* Elan of ''[[The Order of the Stick|Order of the Stick]]''. For instance, when Haley argues that, as they are adventurers, everything they do counts as an adventure... he takes off his shirt, covers himself in jam, stands on one hand, hangs a lantern from one foot, puts a squirrel on the other and plays with a paddle-ball with his free hand. And shouts "I'm on an adventure!" In an earlier strip, Elan found out that wearing armor incurs an armor-check-penalty on certain skills, including Hide. Therefore, he decided that removing all his clothes would increase his Hide skill to the point of invisibility. [[Hilarity Ensues|Hilarity Ensued]]. He much later concluded, when {{spoiler|a newly resurrected Roy}} was standing naked in front of him, "You're invisible!" Elan is now less Cloud Cuckoolander and more hyper-[[Genre Savvy]].

* Richard of ''[[Looking for Group]]'' is a combination of [[Heroic Sociopath|Heroic Sociopathy]] in the vein of Black Mage from 8-Bit Theater and Cloudcuckoolander tendencies, bearing most of the humor of the comics currently due to [[Cerebus Syndrome]].

{{quote|"And and and and this other time? I was at the zoo and the man at the zoo was all 'You can't feed animals here' And I was all 'But why not?' And he was all 'Cause there's no one to feed 'em to.' HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA It's funny, new friend! It's so funny! ...it only takes [[American Customary Measurements|seven pounds]] [[Unit Confusion|of pressure]] to crack open a man's head... from the inside. Kisses now!"}}

* ''[[Schlock Mercenary]]'' got Lieutenant Pibald, at least when he forgets to take his medication, acquiring delusions of having hyperbolically exaggerated status or talents which he doesn't. This wouldn't be much of a problem. The problem is that his hobby is ''[[Mad Bomber|blowing stuff up]]'' and his actual skill with nanoassemblers allows him to disguise robotic mini-factories as ant farms. Making explosives that replicate from raw materals, and if let loose, [http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2008-03-06 spread and form colonies].

* In the ''[[Triquetra Cats]]'' spinoff ''[[Polonian Tales]]'', the character of Nalaynee was specifically modeled after Osaka.

* In ''[[Least I Could Do]]'', we have the main character, Rayne. He does stuff like [http://www.leasticoulddo.com/comic/20071030 this.]

* ''[[Scary Go Round]]'': Shelley Winters and Ryan Beckwith are like this all of the time, although their brands of oddness tend to vary. Shelley's detachment from reality seems to manifest in her bizarre thought processes, Ryan has his interesting grasp of history and both of them love a good non sequitur every now and then. As of the current moment, Ryan teaches school; slightly less odd, but then he is now a supporting character, and his students qualify.

* ''[http://www.fletcherapts.com Fletcher Apts]'': Kia is the cute ditzy girl who seems to be in her own world all the time, and any jokes told to her or aimed at her just fly right over her head.
