HTFC World
HTFC World is a website that is dedicated to cartoon match reports of the games of the English football team Huddersfield Town. It can be found here.
HTFC World provides examples of the following tropes:
- Archive Binge: The reports began back in 1999.
- British Footy Teams: The site is about Huddersfield Town F.C.
- Lampshade Hanging: The footballers sometimes lampshade hang bad/lazy artwork: For example "How come he's drawn me with the singer Robbie Williams' face but from the back my hair isn't black?" (Birmingham City report 2007/2008)
- Mascot: the worm.
- News Parody: The majority of the reports end with a fake article in a newspaper, the HTFC-World Examination, which is a parody of the Huddersfield Examiner.
- Running Gag: Several.
- In the earlier reports in particular, "Transparent Taff" (an invisible Welshman designed to explain poor passing) is this.
- Also the constant use of the word "arse" when a player makes a mistake.
- The Row Z jokes about poor shooting ability.
- "Terry the Terrier's Half-Time Teasers", a parody of children's quiz sections in match programmes.
- "That L**ds Kid", a Leeds United supporter who was famously caught on television after they were relegated in 2002/03. Always mentioned in the Leeds United reports.
- Web Animation: The later reports have this.
