Revision as of 05:23, 8 August 2014
- "Oh, help. I-hav-been-ceptured-by-a-clenk. Help. Help."
- Agatha's reaction to Barry first giving her the locket just sums up the worldview these people have so well. Keep in mind Agatha was five at the time...
Barry: Now, Agatha -- this is important. You must always wear this. |
- Doubles as a tear-jerker if you know what the locket does to protect her
- Othar's reaction here.
Othar: No one ever takes me to parties. |
- Bang, right from the moment she "introduces" herself.
Ta-daa! I am here! |
- Lucrezia's facial expression in the last panel here.
- "FOUL!"
- "FOUL!"
- Everything about this page.
- "Horse! Pie! Horse! Pie! Horse! Pie!"
- The return of the calming pie: "... still calm." "Yay, me!"
- "Horse! Pie! Horse! Pie! Horse! Pie!"
- Anything with the Jagers probably qualifies as one of these for someone.
Sorry -- vos ve supposed to catch him? |
- That's a messed-up ecosystem, man.
- Dupree has her broken jaw wired shut.
- "Invade In Front"
- When Agatha's mini-clanks have a new spark-clank master, the other sparks nearby start worrying. "They are building! Designing! Spitting in the face of the creator! Warping science!" ...so... "They're taking our jobs!"
- "Doomed." "DOOMED." "DOOOMED!"
- Agatha's reaction to her first cup of coffee. Spark Roast coffee sequence, complete with Von Mekkan's "PERFECT SAUCER!" and "Vid a Nize Kick!".
- Coffee shop report scene
Vole: Dere haff been three explosions so far, sir. |
Wilhelm: "Really? Oh, man, we need a good cook! Guy doing it now's a mechanic - and he's a complete idiot. I'd rather eat his engines." ... "So - what did you do to wind up here, anyway?" |
- After utterly kicking the crap out of Vole, Gilgamesh responds to Dimo's appreciation of his methodology.
Gilgamesh: My father once wrote a monograph on how to communicate in the workplace. |
- Gil's Fabulous Hat:"Hey- NIZE HAT!" "That's it. Everything's going to go boom."
- TA-DAH!
- Not to mention the cries from the crowd filtering through the room afterward.
Gil: Don't Help Me! |
- Gil and his friends from Castle Wulfenbach have just demonstrated why Sparks under the influence of their own alcoholic creations are up there among the most hilarious things ever: "We forgot the crowd!"
- Technically they're called "fun-sized mobile agony and death dispensers."
- Cinderella. Jager. Ugly. Sisters.
- "I LUFF my outfit! Mine iz de BIGGEST HAT in de SHOW!"
- Mechanicsburg, basically. The final panel of this strip, in particular.
- Next strip: it looks like Mechanicsburg wholeheartedly ships Agatha/Gil. Complete with Stop Helping Me! from Gil, though naturally Zeetha is having way too much fun to stop.
- This troper, who is quite familiar with Baba Yaga from Russian Fairytales. just about fell over from laughter at this strip.
Agatha: Why do you even bother keeping this running? |
- The doctor taking care of Klaus, right here.
- Agatha sits down to dinner with the local royalty and inexplicably begins telling them everything about herself (including things she didn't even tell the carnival-folk she's been traveling with), then falls face-down into her tort. Turns out she's been slipped truth-serum in her wine. As she's being dragged off, she tells the prince she thinks he's cute.
- A special mention for the men carrying Anevka's squishy bits.
Oggie: "Who vants to be my friend?!" |
Oh, please! What do you all take me for? I'm obviously not talking about the control group! |
- The last three panels of this strip pretty much sum up the entire mentality behind the comic.
- That smug condescending snake Tarvek. "You know him?"
- Later repeated with Tweedle.
Wooster: "Who is that person master Gil just kicked?" |
- Tarvek turning green with a delirious, but appropriate comment.
On my horze! Iz a nize horze! |
- Made even funnier if you recall the title of one of Gil's favorite books.
- CHOPHEAD TINYBITS! *spak!*
- ...nom?
- If this is not a meme yet, it needs to be.
- How is Zola still moving? This is how.
- Paging Warren Ellis, Mr. Ellis to the red courtesy phone.
- Castle Heterodyne "interpreting" an argument between Gil and Zola for Agatha.
- You know that trick with laser pointers and cats? So does Agatha.
- This one.
Moloch: He'll learn. 'specially since, when she punches, she puts her hips into it. |
- Agatha responding to speculation: "WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH YOU TWO?! ARE YOU TWELVE?!"
- *raises hand* Can I have a pretty dress too?
- Hole in the wall? Been done. Hole in the wall and the turret behind it? Much better. Hole in the wall, the turret, and a faraway mountain? Inspired.
- Ferretina and the Fashion Clank skipping off into the sunset - (or wheeling, rather, in the Clank's case) - amidst a pink background of flowers and butterflies at the end of Revenge of the Weasel Queen. Everyone else staring in shock just adds to the hilarity.
- Regarding who has been playing the fool around whom, and who wasn't playing the fool.
- Again?
- The one thing that can make even supergenius adventure heroes back off? A really ugly spider the size of a human head.
"Well, we've got to do something." |
- This strip.
Agatha: And then the cascade effect that usually kills everyone and sets the lab on fire probably won't even have a chance to begin! This has a small, but fascinating chance of actually working! Let's do it! |
- Especially the end line: "No, No! It's going to be all right! We're just going to kill you, and then you'll be fine!!"
- http://twitter.com/othar Othar's twitter. Full stop.
- "...Then one day, while sacking a castle, I was ravished by a wild princess..."
- That whole arc is arguably a crowning moment of funny for the entire series.
- "She is categorized as course hazard! Like in dot krezy game vere dey hit stuff mit sticks!" "...Piñata Jousting Polo?" "Dot's de vun!"
- "Now I vill not just keel HYU - Now I keel EFFERYVUN! ....Hey....Dot is verra gud coffee."
- This page.
Castle A.I.: "You are now nearing what I believe to be a major problem area." |
- And it was on purpose. Castle A.I. just forgot.
- Lucrezia is very Genre Savvy.
Zola!Lucrezia: "But he's [Barry Heterodyne] been missing for years. He's no threat-" |
Tarvek: Oh, great. So all we have to do is figure out where an evil insane genius would put a secret room. |
Gil: You're up to something. |
- "Well, there's always the torture room."
- The man who, on the whole, is absolutely unfazed at the prospect of being beaten and tortured copiously has one thing he cannot stand: being forced to stand around in a waiting room that is out of waiting numbers and has inappropriate music.
- Dimo admits he was listening at the door "like a grett beeg sneeky pents". And the reaction?
General Zog: Dimo! Hy am shocked at dis behavior! |
- General Khrizhan's idea for getting the Other out of Agatha's head. He knows how pipple vork!
- Vanamonde being led home by an assistant.
- Tarvek is constantly having to put up with Violetta's painful remonstrations whenever she's angry with him, and because she's so much more physically powerful, he has to put up with it. Until he changes the rules.
- "Hmf. Well, if we threw in every minion we have, we might take out one of them." "That's a terrible plan!" "Thank you, sir!" "There's another twenty of them! We don't have enough minions!" "Er...."
- "Excuse me? Those are my Fun-Sized Mobile Agony And Death Dispensers. They're works of art!"
- "...yes?"
- "Yes, please." "Shot op, hyu."
- "Vot der dumboozle?"
- "We're....going to have to break out those little iron cages for their children, aren't we?" "Uh-huh."
- Baron Oublenmach is utterly convinced that the act of ringing the Doom Bell will open the Heterodyne treasure vault, so that he can loot it. Unfortunately, as he actually gets to the top of the bell tower, he begins to realize that he may have not thought this through. The Castle Heterodyne's reaction is the best part, though von Mekkan's utter Genre Blindness compares.
Vanamonde von Mekkan:"...I mean, when all's said and done, it's just a bell, right?" |
- A bit of Fridge Brilliance on the subsequent elegant and finely crafted two-page spread: Everyone is vibrating in their boots from the bell's chime, except Agatha.
- Jagers seem to enjoy this.
- As does Gil. Hmmmm...
- A bit of Fridge Brilliance on the subsequent elegant and finely crafted two-page spread: Everyone is vibrating in their boots from the bell's chime, except Agatha.
- All misunderstandings over Mamma Gkika's, even when standing right before it.
Sleipnir: ...in a beer hall. |
- Agatha is worried she won't be a good ruler. Her seneschal assures her that she's got fifty generations of lowered expectations working for her.
Councillor 1: Two minutes, and she hasn't killed anyone! |
- Othar is a fountain of these.
Boris: You found him? |
- Tarvek's expression just puts icing on the cake.
- Franz, the dragon guardian of the Heterodynes' vault. His grumpy attitude makes him a walking laugh dispenser. First in his initial appearance in the cellars, then when he rewards Baron Oublenmach (Oublenmach is priceless here too), and then when he smashes a huge war-clank with the treasure bag. "Hey! I said rejoice!"
- Vole's expression when he finds out Gil's plans for him. Plus the pure audacity of Gil's plans.
- Check out the third panel. Agatha now has a new sonic pitchfork thing...the shape of which does not exist!
- FOOM! The return of The Hat.
- (punch!) "When all this is settled, you get a promotion."
- "I heard there was a HAT!"
- A small one, but when the 2/20 comic was first put up, it used "Hanger" instead of "Hangar". Whoops. The goof has since been corrected.
- DuPree finds out what Vole likes best.
- Gil's new and improved (and untested) falling machine.
Gil: I assure you, even if it doesn't "fly" exactly, it should reach the ground in one piece long before it explodes. |
- Gil's theatrics when dealing with Othar, and Tarvek and Othar's reactions to it.
Gil: We must flee- for it is none other than Othar Tryggvassen, GENTLEMAN ADVENTURER! Vanquisher of eeeevil! |
- The background event to hearing Klaus' story repeated. Apparently Tarvek is the only one who can actually like Foglio's storytelling.
- "A charming pair of INNOCENT HOSTAGES!"
- "Special trousers. Very heroic."
- "[Airman Higgs] dragged your father and Dupree ashore, where he encountered a nesting goose--which broke his other arm."
- "Here's your boot, your majesty"
