''Johnny Rocketfingers'' is a [[Point and Click Game|point-and-click flash game]] made in 2003 about a badass [[Stick Figure Comic|stick figure]] who doesn't like playing by the rules. He doesn't get any deeper than that, really. Only two games were made about him, originally released in [[Newgrounds]]. The first one has him trying to rescue a little girl from thugs (after being paid a hefty sum of cash by the mother). The second one has him scouting out for Thug Incorporated, a gang that has it out for Johnny when he beat down the leader while buying drugs from him.

----
=== This flash game series has examples of: ===
 
* [[Art Evolution]]: While the first game is somewhat crude in appearance, the second is, at least in the street where the game is set, [[Scenery Gorn|scenery gorn-iffic]]
Line 23 ⟶ 22:
* [[Villain Protagonist]]: Johnny is, to put it simply, an asshole. Moreover, he is defined in the game as "suppish", which is basically a smooth [[Jerkass]].
 
==== ''Johnny Rocketfingers'' ====
 
* [[Bag of Spilling]]: [[Inverted]]. You inexplicably end up with useless items in your inventory -- Mostly likely [[Played for Laughs]].
* [[Attention Deficit Ooh Shiny]]: You can distract a gun-wielding thug with a [[Crowning Moment of Funny|Barbie doll]].
* [[Cats Are Mean]]: One tries to shred Johnny when he tries to pick it up and then claws a guys face off when Johnny uses it as a weapon.
* [[Conveniently -Placed Sharp Thing]]
* [[Eye Scream]]: For whatever reason Johnny gains several items in his inventory after a cutscene with some mooks. One such item is what appears to be a severed eyeball.
* [[Freudian Slip]]: Johnny, you freak me out.
Line 39 ⟶ 38:
* [[Video Game Cruelty Punishment]]: If you select a certain option at the start of the game Johnny will club the woman with a beer bottle, accidentally killing her. He then takes all of her money, runs outside, and gets shot by an army of cops that just showed up out of nowhere.
 
==== ''Johnny Rocketfingers 2'' ====
 
* [[Absurdly Spacious Sewer]]: With a crocodile to boot. {{spoiler|And an enormous stash of gold, for some reason.}}
Line 63 ⟶ 62:
** If you look closely, there is a drawing of [[Sam and Max|Max]] in the cash register of the store in the second game.
{{quote|'''Johnny''': (After trying to use knife on a hobo) "Nah, I'll leave that to [[A Clockwork Orange (novel)|Alex and his gang.]]"}}
** One scene with the crocodile is vaguely familiar to ''[[Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (film)|the film adaption of [[The''Harry Potter and he Chamber of Secrets'']].
* [[Trigger Phrase]]: The phrase "life isn't fair" was shown to ''REALLY'' tick Johnny off. Though, no more than to the point of raising his fist in anger.
* [[Video Game Cruelty Potential]]: The game gives you the opportunity to harass the store manager as much as you please.
* [[What an Idiot!]] ([[In-Universe]]): What Johnny thinks of the store manager when he attempts to rap.
 
==== ''Johnny Rocketfingers 3'' ====
 
* [[Scenery Porn]]/[[Scenery Gorn|Gorn]]: The game seems like it'll have a lot more color and detail, which can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on the location.
