Cucumber Quest: Difference between revisions

''Cucumber Quest'' is a new webcomic by Gigi Digi of ''[[Hiimdaisy]]'' fame, and so far reads like a [[Affectionate Parody|snarky love letter]] to classic SNES-era video games, presented with a ''[[Paper Mario]]''-style sense of humor. It can be read [http://cucumber.gigidigi.com/ here.]

 

 

=== ''Cucumber Quest'' demonstrates examples of: ===

* [[Berserk Button]]: Peridot and her name getting mispronounced.

* [[Big No]]: Cucumber delivers one as Sir Tomato brings his sword down on him.

* [[Broke the Rating Scale]]: Cabbage's [[Jerkass|Jerkface]] is at least 6 stars out of 5.

** The Splashmaster's Attack is also like Cabbage's [[Jerkass|Jerkface]] stat.

'''Splashmaster''': [[Crowning Moment of Funny|But queen just older fatter princess!]] }}

* [[Edible Theme Naming]]: Applies to every named character who lives in the Doughnut Kingdom, except for the Oracle. In a more specific example, Cordelia has a trio of goons named Bacon, Dame Lettuce, and Sir Tomato.

** He's actually just doing his job as Gumdrop Forest's guardian (The Oracle's "private woods"), [[Beary Funny|doesn't like to hurt people, and is quite welcoming after finding out that Cuco is the legendary hero]].

* [[Evil Overlooker]]: Cordelia, Peridot, and the BLT Trio in the [http://cucumber.gigidigi.com/?webcomic_post=prologue prologue splash].

* [[Insistent Terminology]]:

{{quote| '''Nautilus:''' It's not a ''cell phone'', Cucumber. It's a ''Royal Instrument of Summoning'' that's been passed down through my ''family'' for ''generations.''}}

* [[It's Up to You]]: As much as Cucumber attempts to avert this, no one will let him off the hook about this world-saving business.

* [[Jerkass|Jerk Face:]] Cabbage. In fact he seemed to have dumped all of his stat points into being a douche, [[Beyond the Impossible|as the number of stars doesn't even seem to fit in the stat box]].

* [[Stating the Simple Solution]]: Cucumber suggests that he simply destroy the Disaster Stones instead of going on a long-winded quest. Cabbage panics and says it would make him the most boring legendary hero ever.

** Cucumber does this again when {{spoiler|he, Almond and Carrot are exploring Saturday's hideout for the Dream Sword and discover the last Disaster Stone. Cucumber considers holding onto it and not even bothering to grab the sword. Surprisingly, Carrot agrees with him, putting the safety of the kingdom over the adventure. Unsurprisingly, Almond finds that idea boring.}}

* [[Stealth Pun]]: Grizzlygum is a bear with no teeth, just gums. In short, he's a GUMMY bear.

* [[Taken for Granite]]: Peridot's specialty seems to be turning people into peridot.

* [[Tennis Boss]]: Peridot.

* [[Third Eye]]: The Dream Oracle has one that peeks through her turban.
