''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. [https://web.archive.org/web/20130915173351/http://www.crackedanimations.com/johnnyrocketfingers3.htm A third game is planned]{{when}} and is intended to be much bigger than the first two.

* [[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 11 ⟶ 10:
* [[Combat Pragmatist]]: Johnny is not afraid to use whatever is around to fight (namely planks, tubes, and even cigarette ashes).
* [[Cool Shades]]: Johnny rocks them hard.
** [[Sunglasses
* [[Crapsack World]]: The city Johnny lives in is not pretty, nor is it clean for that matter.
* [[Cutscene Power to the Max]]: Johnny is hindered by all sorts of puzzles during the actual game, but as soon as a cutscene starts up he begins kicking ass, taking names, and dispatching guys twice his size with ease.
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]].
* [[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
* [[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.
{{quote|
* [[Gag Boobs]]: The woman who asks you for help is basically a stick figure with hair, a face, and large breasts. She must have horrible back pain.
* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: Johnny finds that a cat proves a better weapon than a crowbar.
* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]: Johnny drops one of these when he uses the cat on the bouncer.
* [[Video Game Cruelty Potential]]: At the beginning of the game, you have two options after the woman begs for your help: going for the girl right away or (if you are feeling... jerkass-y) get a little fun from her before.
** Even if you try to play as a saint and agree to help right away, Johnny still insults her and treats her like crap.
* [[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.
* [[Absurdly Spacious Sewer]]: With a crocodile to boot. {{spoiler|And an enormous stash of gold, for some reason.}}
* [[Actually Pretty Funny]]:
{{quote|
'''Store manager''': So, where's yours?
'''Johnny''': Good one, asshole. }}
* [[The Alcoholic]]: He has a "drink time" programmed in his watch (with a little cool animation of him ''drinking'').
* [[Bland-Name Product]]: Pak-Man arcades.
* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]:
{{quote|
'''Shady looking character''': Sorry cuz. Maybe you can find an online walkthrough. }}
* [[Bullying a Dragon]]: Or stealing from a drug lord. This is what starts the game.
Line 56 ⟶ 55:
* [[Diegetic Interface]]: The player guides Johnny around with a lit cigarette.
* [[Hypocritical Humor]]: After a while of incorrectly using the knife, Johnny will utter the phrase:
{{quote|
* [[Leaning on the Fourth Wall]]:
{{quote|
* [[Non
* [[Shout-Out]]:
** 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|
** One scene with the crocodile is vaguely familiar to ''[[Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (film)|the film adaption of
* [[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.
* [[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.
