Line 15:
* '''Mistress''': A cruel dictator, usually busy either ruling her nation or finding new ways to torture her slaves. When she's not doing either, she torments Ivan for giggles.
* '''Ivan''': Mistress' sorcery apprentice and the ostensible protagonist. Not allowed to have sex (or even wank) under castle regulations. To make sure he doesn't get distracted from that rule, Mistress cursed him with walking, talking semen. {{spoiler|As of 5/22/11, [[Put on a Bus|in a magical]] [[Convenient Coma|sleep]].}}
* '''Cumsprite''': The walking, talking semen. Its job is to run to Mistress and tattle whenever released. Notably, a Cumsprite is conjured from his semen whenever he ejaculates, whether by masturbation or not.
* '''Sandoval''': The Ambassador of Xoan. Staying with Mistress as a political guest, he sexually harasses Ivan whenever he's bored. He also seems to be sexually attracted to food, especially desserts.
* '''[[All There in the Manual|Greir]]''': A female adventurer. The comic's resident [[Deadpan Snarker]].
* '''Oglaf''': A farm boy. [[The Chosen One]], although chosen for ''what'', we're not sure.
* '''Ponce de Leon & assistant''': Two adventurers in search of the Fountain of Youth. {{spoiler|They haven't been seen since the Fountain of Girl incident.}}
* '''The Snow Queen''': The personification of Winter. Satisfying her is necessary for Winter to end and for Spring to start. Greir [[Les Yay|gladly takes up the challenge]].
* '''Kronar''', Son of Man: A Barbarian with serious honor.
* '''Vanka''': Female thief. Exceptionally clever and light-fingered. One half of a [[Battle Couple]] with a male thief.
* '''Navaan''': Female vampire. Captures Ivan in Vanorva with the intent to kill him, but soon finds him useful for...other things. {{spoiler|Is now a "doctor".}}
* '''The Dwarves''': Three little men with bad teeth, limited {{spoiler|fukken}} vocabularies, and lunatic enthusiasm for creating bizarre and {{spoiler|fukken}} awesome magical items.

{{tropelist}}
==A==
* [[Absolute Cleavage]]:
** [
** Vanka likewise. As seen in several strips, it's mainly for ease of access.
* [[Action Girl]]:
** The adventurer Greir of [http://www.oglaf.com/meltwater/ Meltwater], [http://www.oglaf.com/reward/ Reward], [http://www.oglaf.com/solstice/ Solstice] and [http://www.oglaf.com/ravine/ Ravine]. '''Warning''': that last one is almost safe for work.
** Kronar's "son" is able to tear apart wolves with her bare hands. A few minutes after being born.
* [[Action Survivor]]: Ivan, out of necessity...{{spoiler|until he's put in the magical coma.}}
* [[Aesop Amnesia]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20130321052227/http://oglaf.com/swordmaster/1/ Despite being told to do things piece by piece], the Sword Master's apprentice doesn't learn his lesson even after winning a fight with it. '''[[Dope Slap|SLAP!]]'''
* [[A Fete Worse Than Death]]: Hosted by the Fun Cult, not a [[Town with a Dark Secret]].
* [[All That Glitters]]: [
* [[All Women Are Lustful]]: It's that kind of world.
* [[A Love to Dismember]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20130328211545/http://oglaf.com/salome/1/ Salome] is still at it apparently.
** She did that ''[[Never Live It Down|once]]''! It was ''years'' ago!
* [[Alt Text]]: Please note that each strip has not only an ALT text but also a TITLE text, both different. Which one you see when mousing over it is dependent on your browser -- Google Chrome, for example, shows the Alt. Text. Only for the first few comics (which possibly didn't have Alt. Text) does the Title Text show up.
Line 47 ⟶ 48:
* [[Amazon Brigade]]: The Mistress' castle is entirely staffed by female guards in revealing outfits.
* [[Amazing Technicolour Population]]: The Land of Indulgence has one.

* [[Anything That Moves]]: And quite a few things that don't.
* [[Art Evolution]]: Compare the character art in [http://www.oglaf.com/cumsprite/3/ one of the earliest strips] to [
* [[Asexuality]]: The [[Starfish Aliens|very-alien]] [[Deadly Doctor|'doctors']], though it doesn't stop them using some very [[Orifice Invasion|invasive]] treatments.
** On the other hand, they consider sexual inexperience to be a life-threatening medical condition ([[Foreshadowing|and maybe have a point]]). [[Blue and Orange Morality|Blue And Orange Sexuality]], perhaps?
* [[Ass Shove]]: With a [http://www.oglaf.com/previously/ fire wand], no less.
* [[Attractiveness Isolation]]: [http://oglaf.com/unattainable/], courtesy of the wishing doll.
▲* [[Art Evolution]]: Compare the character art in [http://www.oglaf.com/cumsprite/3/ one of the earliest strips] to [http://www.oglaf.com/night-shame/1/ one much later]. Notice the difference in both outlining and shading, as well as character proportions.
==B==
* [[Badass Boast]]: Vanka makes two (both about sex, and one with the accomplishment to match) in [https://web.archive.org/web/20130321054149/http://oglaf.com/fingers/1/ this one].
* [[Bald Women]]: The succubi. Also [[Horny Devil|Horny Devils]].
* [[The Baroness]]: The Mistress is definitely a Sexpot, but depending on who you are (i.e. a [[Have I Mentioned I Am Heterosexual Today?|very straight]] guy), her intentions might be nasty, placing her under the Rosa Klebb variety.
* [[Battle Trophy]]: Craft Berserker [http://oglaf.com/indoorfun/ gives advice] (SFW)
* [[Bed Trick]]: Planned [http://www.oglaf.com/cornwalling/ here], but then rejected in favor of [[Gender Bender|more practical]] alternative. Also attempted here but there is a change in plans [

* [[Best Her to Bed Her]]: [[Red Sonja]] goes too far [http://oglaf.com/savage-sleep/ here] (SFW except [[Chainmail Bikini|Red Sonja]])
* [[Beware the Silly Ones]]: Just when you begin to think Mistress rules through nothing more than sexual deviance, odd devices, and a lot of willing retainers, [
* [[Biggus Dickus]]: Subverted [http://www.oglaf.com/heterogeneous/ here]. The fair maiden in question seems relieved rather than disappointed.
* [[Bishonen]]:
** The Xoan Ambassador.
** As the comic progresses, Ivan the Apprentice starts moving from the goofy category to the very pretty category.
* [[BFS]]: Possibly the only ''[[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|literal]]'' [http://www.oglaf.com/obituator/ example] (medium-safe).
* [[Black Comedy Rape]]: Female on male rape used to strip warriors of their [[Virgin Power]] [http://oglaf.com/lapis/].

* [[Blinding Bangs]]: The goat-herder girl and Ivan's {{spoiler|temporary replacement}}.
* [[Bodyguard Babes]]: The Mistress's soldiers.

* [[Bungling Inventor]]: The dwarves.

== C ==
* [[Characterization Marches On]]: Greir's thing now appears to be that she hates fun, and doesn't seem to understand the concept. But in her earlier appearances, particularly "[[Les Yay|Meltwater]]," she clearly had at least some idea what it was.
* [[Crazy Awesome]]: The dwarves.
* [[Butt Monkey]]: '''Ivan'''.
* [[Call Back]]: The portrait being painted [https://web.archive.org/web/20130318105943/http://oglaf.com/portrait/1/ here] later shows up in the room of tributes [http://oglaf.com/shaft/2/ here], flying skulls, severed cocks and all.
* [[Can't Have Sex Ever]]: Ivan [http://www.oglaf.com/cumsprite/5/ isn't even allowed to masturbate], lest he gets in trouble. He did [http://www.oglaf.com/100-eyes/2/ find a way around it], though.
* [[Captain Ahab Syndrome]]: Parodied [http://oglaf.com/ahoy/ here] (SFW). Also, lesbian pirate captain [http://oglaf.com/hornpipe/]

* [[Caught with Your Pants Down]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20130324015657/http://oglaf.com/stamen/1/ Not that Sticklebark actually wears pants].
* [[Cerebus Syndrome]]: ''Oglaf'' has always had re-occurring characters and some gags built on top of previous ones, but as time has gone by the strips involving Ivan in particular have shifted into gradually longer multi-week arcs, which put him in ever more dire situations. Often still funny, but also part of longer and more serious stories.
* [[Chain Letter]]: The spirit [http://oglaf.com/penpals/ is being a jerk again]. (SFW)
* [[The Chosen One]]: [http://www.oglaf.com/suddenly/ Oglaf, the shepherd boy]. Pity he can't read.
* [[Christmas Episode]]: [
* [[Cliff Hanger]]: [
* [[Closet Key]]: What Greir of the Meltwater arc has become for the [
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]:
** Many characters in the comic suffer from minor cases of crazy (with poor Ivan as the [[Only Sane Man]]).

* [[Continuity Nod]]:
** In [https://web.archive.org/web/20130328212247/http://oglaf.com/infffirmary/1/ "Infffirmary"], you can see two men with [http://oglaf.com/requiem/ masks and lockets].

== D ==
* [[A Date with Rosie Palms]]: Ivan the Apprentice, constantly, even though for the longest time he was forbidden even this. He managed to find a way to beat the system though.

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]:
** Sandoval's valet/assistant in "Lament."
** Greir does this quite a bit.
* [[Deconstructive Parody]]:
** Of [[Crying Wolf]], [https://web.archive.org/web/20130321051158/http://oglaf.com/wolf/1/ as seen] on the trope page. (Warning: Not porn)

* [[Distracted by the Sexy]]:
** A very fortunate example [https://web.archive.org/web/20130329183101/http://oglaf.com/snakeskin/1/ here]. Though apparently it makes something else turn to stone.
** Another example [
* [[Does Not Understand Sarcasm]]: [http://www.oglaf.com/reward/ This shapeshifter], although, from what we've seen, it's likely it's not ''just'' him.
* [[Dope Slap]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20130321052227/http://oglaf.com/swordmaster/1/ The Sword Master]. [[Alt Text|"He's also a bit of a slapmaster"]] (Sex is mentioned but not seen)

** The Xoan ambassador has a fling with a tray of... well, not dessert any more, as he really can't see anyone wanting to eat it now.

Line 149 ⟶ 165:
* [[Fisher King]]: The Snow Queen, as satisfying her seems to bring about the start of spring.

* [[Fountain of Youth]]: Played with in the strips dedicated to Ponce de Leon's search for said fountain with his dowdy assistant.
** Played with in the strips dedicated to Ponce de Leon's search for said fountain with his dowdy assistant. They eventually do find a magical fountain, only to realize too late it's actually {{spoiler|[http://www.oglaf.com/fountain-of-girl/1/ the Fountain of Girl] (mild nudity). Well, at least they were young that way too..}}.▼

== G ==
* [[Gag Boobs]]: Played straight mostly, but strangely not with [[Fetish Fuel Station Attendant]] Mistress.
* [[Gag Penis]]: [[Bigger Is Better in Bed|Most men are very well-endowed.]] One of the titles even describes the comic as "lovingly rendered pictures of cocks".
* [[Gender Bender]]: [
* [[Genius Ditz]]: Navaan. She is perceptive enough to notice things such as [http://www.oglaf.com/grill/2/ disguised statues] and is even able to understand specifically how to deal with [http://www.oglaf.com/furniture/3/ a severed immortal's head without lungs] despite believing that the function of a doctor is to "solve mysteries." First link is SFW.
* [[Genius Loci]]: Parodied. [http://www.oglaf.com/sanctuary/ What's a region need to do to get recognized in this town?]
Line 162 ⟶ 179:
* [[Gladiator Games]]: [http://oglaf.com/sport/ Played with.]
* [[God Guise]]: {{spoiler|The malevolent god worshipped by the fools' cult}} is an ''inversion''; a real god disguised as a fake god according to one of its followers. It ''looks'' like a bunch of people in a lousy costume when it's actually a very real and very dangerous deity. {{spoiler|An immortal warrior found this out the hard way and lost her sword and everything below her neck for her troubles.}}
* [[God Is Evil]]: The cult of [http://oglaf.com/sithrak/ Sithrak] [http://oglaf.com/geewoks/] [http://oglaf.com/outreach/] (SFW) {{spoiler|Actually, he's merely moody.}} [http://oglaf.com/outreach/2/] ...but never mind that.

* [[Humanoid Abomination]]: For a given value of [http://www.oglaf.com/romance/ humanoid]. Complete with tentacles.
== I ==
* [[I Am Not Shazam]]: Ivan the Apprentice is the main character, and his name is not Oglaf. Oglaf was a two-shot character that hasn't been featured in years, [[The Artifact|but the comic was already named after him so there's nothing we can do]].
* [[An Ice Person]]: The Snow Queen. Though she really is very nice.
* [[Idiot Ball]]: [
* [[Incompatible Orientation]]:
** The Ambassador has made several advances towards the Apprentice, who definitely prefers women. This seems not to bother the Ambassador at all.
** The bounty huntress Greir seems to be ladies-only, but has been hit on at least twice by men (one a shapeshifter who quickly and [[Epic Fail|awkwardly]] attempts to rectify the situation).
* [[The Informant]]: Ivan's curse is that his semen comes to life and runs to tell the Mistress what he's been doing.
* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20130315185643/http://oglaf.com/sheela/1/ Here you are.] Bonus humor if you know what a [[wikipedia:Sheela Na Gig|sheela na gig]] is.
* [[The Immodest Orgasm]]: Taken to its logical extreme [[Serial Escalation|and further]] [http://www.oglaf.com/freshhorses/2/ here].

* [[I Was Quite a Looker]]: Subverted in [
== J ==
* [[Jerkass Genie]]: [http://www.oglaf.com/simon/ He'll grant any wish], but will punish you if you don't make the one he ''wants'' you to make.
* [[Just Like Robin Hood]]: Parodied [http://www.oglaf.com/relief/ here]. He steals from the rich, all right, and he kinda gives it to the poor, but his methods of distribution are a bit unorthodox.
* [[Just-So Story]]: [http://oglaf.com/justso/ This wide-eyed youth seems fond of telling them.] Referenced by both the comic title, "Just So," and the [[Title Text]] which gives his name as Rudyard.

* [[Little Miss Badass]]: Kronar's [http://www.oglaf.com/son-of-kronar/2/ "son"].
* [[Logic Bomb]]: [http://www.oglaf.com/cavalcade/ A simple one], but then the dwarves aren't the most sophisticated creatures around.
** [http://oglaf.com/evensong/ Only needs a reset].
* [[Love Letter Lunacy]]: The Apprentice [https://web.archive.org/web/20130315052613/http://oglaf.com/secret-admirer/1/ here] started receiving odd love letters from anonymous sources, who in some cases weren't even sure of his gender. The notes quickly got [http://oglaf.com/secret-admirer/2/ rather more ridiculous].
* [[Love Potion]]:
** The [[Love At First Sight]] variety [http://www.oglaf.com/potion/ at its most literal]. (Pretty much SFW.)
** There is also the "[http://www.oglaf.com/potion-girlfriend/3/ Potion of Girlfriend]" which is also a [[Lotus Eater Machine]].
* [[Love Triangle]]: The [http://oglaf.com/balcony/ balcony scene] starts as [[Triang Relations|type 5, but this being Oglaf, it turns into 10 and then 7]] in the epilogue.
== M ==
* [[Manipulative Bastard]]: Vanka, sometimes to impossible degrees.
* [[Manly Gay]]: Kronar.
Line 199 ⟶ 224:
* [[Mars Needs Women]]: Subverted, [http://oglaf.com/human-women/ here.] {{spoiler|They appear to not know what a human woman really is.}}(Male nudity, probably not safe for work).

* [[Memetic Sex God]] : The protagonist of [https://web.archive.org/web/20130326003848/http://oglaf.com/prowess/1/ this] strip becomes one In-Universe, thanks to a magic amulet.
* [[Mind Control]]: Probably more examples in the archives, but in [http://oglaf.com/frog2/ Frog 2], a woman is "cursed to be a slut" by a witch. A very forward thinking witch, it seems -- when the traditional kiss-to-cure trick is tried by [[Les Yay|a local maiden]], it turns out its a case of [[Viral Transformation]], too.
* [[Mister Seahorse]]: In an all-male world, [https://web.archive.org/web/20130321052207/http://oglaf.com/son-of-kronar/1/ this would be the case].
* [[Morality Pet]]: Subverted by the lizard of guilt.
* [[Morton's Fork]]: The Ambassador tricks the Apprentice into eating a poisoned cake then offers him to [[Sadistic Choice|suck the antidote off his penis]]. Turns out {{spoiler|the antidote was poison too.}} Refusing doesn't save the Apprentice any suffering in the [[Orifice Invasion|end]].
* [[Mrs. Robinson]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20130315185643/http://oglaf.com/sheela/1/ See here].
* [[My Eyes Are Up Here]]: Parodied in [http://www.oglaf.com/snakeskin/ "Snakeskin"].
== N ==
* [[Nature Abhors a Virgin]]: Not explicit, but in this world virginity seems to be both rare and something you're better off without.
* [[Never Live It Down]]: In-universe for [https://web.archive.org/web/20130328211545/http://oglaf.com/salome/1/ Salome] and the decapitated head. She is distinctly unhappy about this.
* [[Nipple-and-Dimed]]: Mistress's skimpy costumes usually cover at least two important areas... though sometimes they don't even manage that.
* [[Non-Mammal Mammaries]]: [http://www.oglaf.com/snakeskin/ "Heh. Snake tits."]
* [[Not My Fault]]: [http://oglaf.com/legacy/ Thank you, Dark Marauder]!
* [[Not Safe for Work|NSFW]]: More often than not. Comics that actually ''are'' work-safe are the ones with labels.
== O ==
* [[Only the Chosen May Wield]]: Parodied in [http://www.oglaf.com/noblesse/ Noblesse Oblige].
* [[Orifice Evacuation]]: Ivan's semen turns into a Cumsprite whenever he ejaculates. After being so cursed, he manages to get fellatio. The predictable happens, but the woman declares it to be adorable. Then averted: He comes within seconds of being able to talk himself into getting a second round of anal, although it's not the cumsprite that breaks the deal.
* [[Orifice Invasion]]: The alien doctors' cleansssing polyp. (It only goes in the mouth, but it's clearly still unpleasant).
* [[Our Dwarves Are All the Same]]: Averted; Oglaf's dwarves are more like gnomes.
* [[Our Elves Are Better]]: [
* [[Out, Damned Spot!]]
* [[Out with a Bang]]: One of the more unusual plays on this you're likely to find - Ivan's spooges end their "lives" by splashing on (so far) a woman's face or breasts.
== P ==
* [[Perp Sweating]]: With a [[Cue the Sun|sunbeam]]. Of course, when the "perp" has [[Kryptonite Factor|dire reason to avoid]] sunlight, [http://www.oglaf.com/grill/1/ this is more threatening than usual] (SFW.)▼
* [[Perky Goth]]: [http://oglaf.com/threnody/ Sort of].
▲* [[Perp Sweating]]: With a [[Cue the Sun|sunbeam]]. Of course, when the "perp" has [[Kryptonite Factor|dire reason to avoid]] sunlight, [
* [[Perverse Sexual Lust]]: [[In-Universe|He's using]] that potion [http://www.oglaf.com/potion/ wrong.] Only references anything NSFW.
* [[Pettanko]]: Mistress. Grier is rather modestly endowed as well. Subverted, as neither of them consider this an embarrassment or a handicap.
* [[Playing Cyrano]]: With a twist in [
* [[Poisoned Chalice Switcheroo]]: The Xoan Ambassador tries to pull a poison ''penis'' switcheroo on Ivan.
* [[Porn with Plot]]: [[Word of God]] is that the comic started out as an attempt to make pornography, until it "degenerated into sex comedy pretty much immediately."
** [[In-Universe]] here: [http://oglaf.com/fully-fleshed/] (amusingly, the images are SFW).
* [[Power Perversion Potential]]: [http://www.oglaf.com/shield-maiden/ Invincible Shield Maiden]. Though she doesn't seem too happy with it.
* [[Progressively Prettier]]: Ivan evolved from being a goofy looking comical character in the beginning to a genuinely hot pretty boy with ever-so curly hair. Though how much of this is [[Progressively Prettier]] and how much is simply [[Art Evolution]] is unclear.
* [[Protagonist Title Fallacy]]: Oglaf is simply one of many recurring side characters. If there's a protagonist, it's Ivan.
* [[Put on a Bus]]: {{spoiler|Ivan. He's in a magical sleep.}}
== Q ==
* [[The Quisling]]: [http://oglaf.com/heel-empire/ Some] are trying too hard (SFW)
== R ==
* [[Rated "M" for Manly]]: [http://www.oglaf.com/honor/ VICTORY AT SEA!]
** Also, "[http://oglaf.com/feral-chic/ feral chic]".
* [[Rapunzel Hair]]: [http://www.oglaf.com/emancipation/ 'Mistress']
* [[Rebellious Princess]] [[King Incognito|Incognito]]: "[http://www.oglaf.com/pea/ Princess activities suck!]"
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Vanka and Greir, [http://www.oglaf.com/roguearsenal/ respectively.]
* [[Rule of Funny]]: Although most episodes are NSFW, the gratuitous nudity and sex plays second fiddle to this.
== S ==
* [[
* [[Schmuck Bait]]: Subverted in [http://www.oglaf.com/bluedoor/ Blue Door] (mild swearing) and in [http://www.oglaf.com/booklove/4/ Book of Love]. Played straight and lampshaded in [http://www.oglaf.com/glove/ Glove]. It should be noted that the schmuck in all three examples is the same guy, although he only falls for it the third time. And even then, he was pretty sure it was a trap from the start.
* [[Screw Destiny]]: Apparently, you can't fight destiny... unless it's your destiny to fight destiny. When you try to fight fighting destiny by ''not'' fighting destiny... [https://web.archive.org/web/20130921202625/http://oglaf.com/sooth/1/ you get a knife in the throat from a pissed-off seer].
* [[Serial Escalation]]: [[In-Universe]] in [https://web.archive.org/web/20130315194116/http://www.oglaf.com/beot/1/ this comic], two warriors in a bar make [[Badass Boast|BadassBoasts]] on how they will defeat a monster while handicapping themselves, each one more outrageous than the last. {{spoiler|It gets to the point that the monster arrives to terrorize the bar and finds everyone inside dead from cutting themselves and everyone there apart to fulfill their bravado.}}
* [[Shaggy Dog Story]]: Several, particularly the whole arc that starts with "Shaft" and seems to end in "Wake" on the words "stupid f'ing town". Justice/Atonement is another example.
* [[Shapeshifter Baggage]]: Examined in [http://oglaf.com/weepingwoods/ "Weeping Woods"].
* [[Shapeshifting]]: They aren't too well versed in human behaviour, unfortunately.
* [[Shapeshifting Seducer]]
** A hilariously [http://www.oglaf.com/reward/ unsuccessful attempt].
** Likewise, [
** [
* [[Shout-Out]]: The [http://www.wowhead.com/spell=90833 Skull Drinking Cup] from ''[[World of Warcraft]]'' with "So thirsty..." in its description is a reference to Oglaf's [http://oglaf.com/skulls/ Skulls] strip.
** Greir's description of this rope is likely an allusion to the Wonder Woman's Lasso of Truth.[http://oglaf.com/grill/3/]
* [[Single Tear]]: [http://oglaf.com/goodbehavior/2/ A guard], enduring Vanka and another woman in a cell crudely mocking him.
{{quote|''"This is an enormous slur on my professional conduct."''}}
* [[Sir Swearsalot]]: All of the [[Cluster F-Bomb|fukken dwarves]] have fukken limited vocabularies.
* [[Situational Sexuality]]: Most of Mistress' all-female guard corps are not lesbians, but [
* [[Snake People]]: [http://www.oglaf.com/snakeskin/ Here].
* [[Snake Talk]]: The inhuman staff of the infirmary at the Mistress' castle [http://www.oglaf.com/infffirmary/ speak] [http://www.oglaf.com/infffirmary/epilogue/ like] [http://www.oglaf.com/stalker/2/ this].
* [[Stealth Hi Bye]]: Vanka escapes from her cell after flirting with the guard outside her door. She stole the keys from him in a [
* [[Story Arc]]: Even though this is a gag-a-week webcomic with vague storylines, we now have several arcs, sometimes broken up by other gag strips.
* [[Stranger in a Familiar Land]]: Averted [http://oglaf.com/felicity/ here]. Apparently turnips are just that awesome.
* [[Stripperiffic]]: The Mistress and her servants.
* [[Stylistic Suck]]: [
== T ==
* [[Taken for Granite]]:
** [http://www.oglaf.com/snakeskin/ This] strip shows one way to [[Subverted Trope|avoid it]].
** Terrifyingly played straight [http://www.oglaf.com/porkchisel/ here].
* [[
* [[Tar and Feathers]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20130326004132/http://oglaf.com/rodgar/1/ "Prince Rodgar"]
* [[Technical Virgin]]: An entire city of them!
* [[Tertiary Sexual Characteristics]]: If a man in Kronar's tribe [[Mister Seahorse|gives birth to]] a daughter, they affix the "bow of shame" to its head and leave it to the wolves.
Line 267 ⟶ 306:
* [[Title Drop]]: In [http://www.oglaf.com/suddenly/ Suddenly, Oglaf], where we learn that the full title is (possibly) The Magical Adventures of Oglaf the Shepherd Boy.
* [[Tongue on the Flagpole]]: [http://www.oglaf.com/snowqueen/ Boudoir of the Snow Queen].
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: Apparently, [https://web.archive.org/web/20130330162054/http://oglaf.com/skein/1/ the guy that slew the minotaur] had some... odd ideas about how the ball of yarn would help him escape the labyrinth.
* [[Too Kinky to Torture]]: Ivan -- at least, Navaan seems to think so. You have to wonder how her other victims reacted to the threat of sexual intercourse with a hot woman...
** Considering that the entire city is populated with virgins who are terrified at even the ''possibility'' that someone sexually promiscuous might be running about, Navaan probably expected such threats to elicit a somewhat more fearful reaction.
* [[Totem Pole Trench]]: Or rather [http://oglaf.com/bascinet/ armor].
* [[Tricking the Shapeshifter]]: [http://www.oglaf.com/kingshaped/ Whoops.] (safe for work)
* [[Turn Undead]]: [http://www.oglaf.com/rigormortis/ Not the kind you were thinking].
* [[Twincest]]: The first sign that {{spoiler|the "Felicia" hallucination is beginning to break down}} is when Ivan sees that his hot wife has given birth to two fully-grown twins who are making out with each other.
== U ==
* [[Unlimited Wardrobe]]: Mistress, best shown [
* [[Unlucky Everydude]]: Ivan the Apprentice. So very unlucky.
* [[Unsound Effect]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20130321052227/http://oglaf.com/swordmaster/1/ The Sword Master's] [[Dope Slap]] is appropriately sound effected with '''SLAP!'''
* [[Unusual Euphemism]]: The Immaculate City's inhabitants have curious notions of what sexual terms exist, and what the real ones actually mean.
* [[
== V ==
* [[Viewers Are Geniuses]]: What do you ''mean'' you don't get the joke in [https://web.archive.org/web/20130328211545/http://oglaf.com/salome/1/ Salome?] How did you not know that the biblical Salome's dance convinced Herod to behead John the Baptist, and that in Oscar Wilde's adaptation of the story she kisses his decapitated head?
** Not to mention Scherazade's occasional appearance.
** And of course there's the [https://web.archive.org/web/20130321051125/http://oglaf.com/pinkhaze/1/ 'Golden Hind' Bordello] .
* [[Virgin Sacrifice]]: Navaan has been sending virgins "out" of Vanorva to be eaten by her fellow vampires. It's not clear whether the victims have to be virgins or if virgins are just the easiest prey.
* [[Virgin Power]]:
** Apparently needed to see the [http://www.oglaf.com/immaculate-city/2/ Golden Spires of Vanorva]. [[Technical Virgin|Blow jobs apparently do not count]].
** Also a [[Brick Joke]] from [http://www.oglaf.com/infffirmary/ earlier in the arc].
** The religious order in [http://www.oglaf.com/lapis/ "Lapis Lazuli."] When Vanka comes to plunder their idol, she's clever enough to [[Flaw Exploitation|deflower her attackers]] before making off with her prize.
** A cobbler [http://oglaf.com/virgincobbler/] claims this. Leading to an [[Playing with a Trope|interesting take on]] [[Shoot the Builder]].
* [[Visual Pun]]/[[Multiple Reference Pun]]: Sandoval's funeral outfit includes a bundle of sticks on his head; i.e. a faggot. Sandoval is gay. It's also mourning wood.
** Another visual pun: [http://www.oglaf.com/roguearsenal/3/ Vanka] has an [[Octopussy]].
== W ==
* [[Weaksauce Weakness]]: In [http://www.oglaf.com/lapis/ this] and next two comics. The monks learn their lesson, though.
* [[We Need a Distraction]]: Fortunately, [[It Makes Sense in Context|a rodeo-bull in a giant penis suit]] escaping its pen [http://www.oglaf.com/diversions/2/ should do nicely].
* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?]]: Most of the dwarves' inventions, like [
* [[Whip It Good]]: The last panel of [http://oglaf.com/lassie/5/ this strip] implies that Mistress is about to put this to good use on Ivan.
* [[Why Don't Ya Just Shoot Him]]?: Averted hilariously and spectacularly on two occasions:
** She's about to torture a man in a way so horrible once you understand that it's a good thing when her pet falcon incinerates him with its laser eyes. Although this prompts her to sell the bird.
** The second time [https://web.archive.org/web/20131109032100/http://oglaf.com/blanket/1/ Mistress deliberately invokes it.]
* [[Winter Royal Lady]]: The Snow Queen. Quite literally.

** The paladin from [http://www.oglaf.com/rigormortis/ this strip.]
** Mistress [http://www.oglaf.com/pinecone/2/ here] as well.
** Scheherazade in [
** Trudy Cooper herself it seems.
*** Does she count as a [[Yuri Fan]] as well? Or maybe she's just an overall Sexy fan.
* [[Yaoi Guys]]:
** Kronar and his mate.
** The [http://oglaf.com/balcony/ two] [http://oglaf.com/balcony/epilogue guys] from Balcony (who might bear some resemblance to [[The Road to El Dorado|Miguel and Tulio]] if you squint a bit).
** [http://www.oglaf.com/delivery/ This "Princess" and "her" prince].
** The guys from [
** The gladiators apparently [http://oglaf.com/sport/ take requests].
* [[You Can't Fight Fate]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20130921202625/http://oglaf.com/sooth/1/ Or can you?] (Work-safe)
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]
* [[You Shall Not Pass]]: Inverted in [http://oglaf.com/ravine/ this strip (safe).]
== Z ==
* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]: Shows up here and there, but Greir's default outfit features Grade A.
