''FIRED!''"''\|'''Gary''', "Crunch"}} ''[[Game Dogs]]'' is a series created by Russ Pitts (who runs ''[[The Escapist]]'', responsible for hosting ''[[Zero Punctuation]]''), which centers around... [[Captain Obvious\|canine video game programmers]]. Currently in its second season. Season one primarily consisted of main cast Chet, Bethany and Roger in their ventures in developing the game ''Satan's Retrievers'' for the business software company Electro Software, whilst their boss Gary attempts to find legitimate reasons to fire them. The second season has something to do with the Russians and a doggy equivalent of the Vietnam war. Supposedly takes place in or around [[The Eighties\|80's]] or [[The Nineties\|early 90's]]; however, recent developments seem to lean it a bit more towards [[Present Day Past]], what with the references to things like E3, [[~~Justin Bieber (Music)\|~~Justin Bieber]] and the Blackberry smartphone. ---- {{tropelist}} ~~=== Tropes: ===~~ * [[Alpha Bitch]]: Jennifer, despite the office setting. * [[Barefoot Cartoon ~~Animals~~Animal]]s: Bethany and Bob. It gets outright surreal in episode 8 when Jennifer mentions Bethany's shoes, when we just saw her come through the door barefoot. And this isn't even the punchline. * [[Brilliant but Lazy]]: Chet, according to his bio. [[Informed Attribute\|Of course, the "brilliant" part never really comes into play.]] * [[Broken Record]]: In season one, Gary tended to repeat the last few words he said in any given sentence at random. ''[[~~This~~Punctuated! IsFor! ~~Sparta~~Emphasis!\|Every. Single. Episode.]]'' * [[Characterization Marches On]]: Bob in season 1 is a soft-spoken employee who's dialogue is 99% comprised of listing off rules and regulations. Bob in season 2 is a shellshocked Vietnam veteran constantly trying to kill his new Russian employers and screaming ''Wolverines'' at random. * [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Mr. Yee, due to a headshot. * [[Cluster F-Bomb]]: Steve delivers one, over the phone, to a game magazine that gave Satan's Retrievers a bad review in episode 17. * [[Darker and Edgier]]: Season 1 is surprisingly tame, but season 2... * [[Defictionalization]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20120514220832/http://www.escapistmagazine.com/content/games/gamedogs/satansretrievers.php ''Satan's Retrievers''] became an actual (flash) game before the launch of season two. * [[Driven to Suicide]]: {{spoiler\|Roger.}} * [[Dropped a Bridge Onon Him]]: {{spoiler\|Beth and Roger}}, so we're basically stuck with Chet... * [[Dropped a Bridget On Him]]: Kind of a subversion; while {{spoiler\|the booth babe}} is a full-fledged Bridget, {{spoiler\|Mr. Yee}} never figures it out. * [[Dumb Blonde]]: Jennifer, full stop. * [[Glorious Mother Russia]]: Ivan pretty much embodies every Soviet stereotype out there. * [[Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal]]: Most of the cast, except for Bethany and Bob, who are [[Barefoot Cartoon ~~Animals~~Animal]]s. * [[Informed Flaw]]: Bethany is described in her bio has being prone to violent outbursts, but outside of a throwaway gag in an early episode, this never comes up. * [[Kicked Upstairs]]: Gary, from the accounting software division to the video games division. Line 37 ⟶ 36: Gary's repetition of words. He seems to have lightened up in season two, however. ** Mr. Yee [[Furry Reminder\|sniffing a]] [[Transvestite\|transvestite's]] [[Furry Reminder\|butt]] at E3. Literally half the cartoon is comprised of sniffing noises and close ups of Roger and the "booth babe's" awkward expressions. * [[Put Onon a Bus]]: Mr. Yee decideds to go on a rocket trip to the moon at the start of season 2, after selling the company to the Russians. * [[Refuge in Audacity]]: Mr. Yee's headshot wound, caused by {{spoiler\|Bob's twitchy finger in "[[The Vietnam War\|The War"]]}}. {{quote\| Mr. Yee: "This is damn inconvenient!"}} * [[Tonight Someone Dies]]: The [https://web.archive.org/web/20120514220827/http://www.escapistmagazine.com/content/games/gamedogs/handoffate.php "Hand of Fate" promotion], whereby the Escapist community gets to put one of the dogs to sleep. Put to sleep? No, what occurs is definitely not so nice. Also, the results of the contest and the actual death are very different. * [[Wham! Episode]]: The Hand of Fate. {{reflist}} [[Category:Sandbox (New Media)]]▼ [[Category:Web Animation]] [[Category:Game Dogs]] ▲[[Category:~~Sandbox (~~New Media)]]
