'''''I.M. Meen''''' is an "educational" child's game where you are forced to fend off a [[Punny Stuff|mean]] spirited man and his guardians after he traps you in his magic maze. His assistant, Gnorris, [[Minion Withwith an F In Evil|helps you in secret]] along the way as you defeat the guardians, and eventually Meen himself.
 
Animated by the same people behind the ''[[The Legend of Zelda CDiCDI Games]]'', every cutscene feels like an acid trip. Because of this, I.M. Meen has become the newest face to [[YoutubeYouTube Poop]].
 
Had a sequel called ''Chill Manor'', which starred Meen's girlfriend/wife ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHl_nwjFh-o#t=8m42s first mentioned here]), Ophelia as she tries to literally rewrite history. {{spoiler|1=[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvramB8wYDI Meen himself makes a brief appearance in the ending].}}
 
The game itself is essentially a [[First-Person Shooter]] with the only "educational" segments coming from locked doors that can be opened only by fixing grammar mistakes.
 
---------------------
{{tropelist}}
''I.M. Meen'' contains examples of:
* [[Absurdly Spacious Sewer]]
* [[Badass Bookworm]] - The playable characters. Literally.
Line 34 ⟶ 35:
* [[Evil Laugh]] - [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dg5i8YQZqRM Meen's got some completely and utterly insane ones.]
* [[Evil Sorcerer]] - Meen, obviously.
* [[Everything's Better Withwith Spinning]]: Meen's exit, in the last cutscene.
* [[Expository Theme Tune]]: The opening song to the game, pretty much.
* [[Freeze -Frame Bonus]] - I.M. Meen's face in the last cutscene, when he says "But I'll be BACK!"
** As Meen threatens to "turn you into a... CHIPMUNK!" he momentarily poses in such a way as to look like one.
* [[Gonk]]: Even without the [[Off-Model]] quality of the animation, Meen isn't a very good-looking guy. In particular, his face is overly thin except for his chin.
Line 42 ⟶ 43:
* [[Haunted Castle]] - Levels 25 through 28 take place in one.
* [[Helpful Mook]] - Gnorris, who is Genuinely Gentle.
* [[Her Codename Was Mary Sue]]: Come on, Meen writes his own fanfiction.
* [[Hypocritical Humor]] - I.M Meen clearly states that he hates people who study, but it is also explicitly stated that he is a magician, meaning he'd have to study to reach that level of accomplishment in the first place.
** Alternatively, he might hate the idea of ''other'' people studying because that means they could become magicians too, and he doesn't want the competition.
Line 54 ⟶ 55:
* [[Punny Name]] - I.M.Meen, Writewell
* [[Purely Aesthetic Gender]] - You can play as a boy named Scott or a girl named Katie. Meen will refer to the player as "bookworm" regardless of chosen gender.
* [[TedSmall BaxterName, Big Ego]] - Meen, by far. In the stories he writes about himself, (With titles that always promote himself, like "Hooray For Meen" or "Meen goes to Mars" or "You Know How Much I Love Me.") he portrays himself as a valiant, heroic figure who is attractive, smart, strong, and generally the person who gets things done while other characters are simply sidekicks.▼
* [[Stupid Statement Dance Mix]] - [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLqjJqdfVLs This,] and some others.
* [[Sword of Plot Advancement]] - Writewell's Book.
* [[Teleporters and Transporters]]: Meen himself is an expert in this if nothing else, wielding many ways to appear and disappear, whether it's puffs of smoke, lightning, or sparks. ▼
▲* [[Ted Baxter]] - Meen, by far. In the stories he writes about himself, (With titles that always promote himself, like "Hooray For Meen" or "Meen goes to Mars" or "You Know How Much I Love Me.") he portrays himself as a valiant, heroic figure who is attractive, smart, strong, and generally the person who gets things done while other characters are simply sidekicks.
▲* [[Teleporters and Transporters]]: Meen himself is an expert in this if nothing else, wielding many ways to appear and disappear, whether it's puffs of smoke, lightning, or sparks.
* [[Tome of Eldritch Lore]] - Meen's magic book. Apparently, when someone tries to read it, they get sucked inside instead.
* [[Unwinnable]] - If you die in the last level, the game is unwinnable because you no longer have the only weapon that can damage the final boss.
Line 64 ⟶ 65:
* [[Villain Song]] - Very scary and confusing. Destination of MY CHOOSING! Magic Labyrinth of I! M! MEEEEEEEEEHEEHEEHEEN!
* [[Villain Teleportation]] - Meen always appears in a puff of colorful smoke, and he almost always vanishes in electricity.
* [[YoutubeYouTube Poop]]: Very many.
