'''''[http://pogeymanz.smackjeeves.com Pogeymanz]''''' is a sprite comic made by Ultimate Ridley and primarily hosted on [https://web.archive.org/web/20131116115249/http://www.smackjeeves.com/ Smack Jeeves] (though it appears on other sites as well, Smack Jeeves is the only site to host all of the episodes). It is notable for its extremely satirical nature, with some pretty deep allegories buried underneath a [[Mind Rape|very random and screwed up outer shell]].
Apparently, the author originally started the comic out of boredom and didn't expect it to be so popular (it's his most popular comic), but then began evolving it into the satire it is today. The comic makes fun of a wide range of things, from the Pokémon universe to the stupidity of noobs (and the fact that noobs are everywhere, and you can't stop them, is a major theme) to action movie clichés, sprite comic clichés, etc. The comic's outer layer is silly and random, however.
Line 28:
The comic is currently on yet another hiatus, but the author expresses interest in completing it.

{{tropelist}}
* [[Author Filibuster]]: Not as bad as some other webcomics, but at one point the author clearly displays his hatred for the clichés of overly popular webcomics.
** It's more that he hates that including particular clichés in your comic tends to make the comic automatically popular (and that having prior popularity as an author almost always guarantees an audience regardless of the comic's actual quality).
Line 40:
** Hitmonchan hates it when you take his kill.
* [[BFG]]: Bob apparently owns a flamethrower.
* [[Blind Idiot Translation]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20120816001136/http://pogeymanz.smackjeeves.com/comics/1096716/failure-road/ A straight Google Translate rip.]
** [[Bilingual Bonus]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20120815225737/http://pogeymanz.smackjeeves.com/comics/1098995/oi/ This one] comes out fairly cleanly when put through Google Translate. The Chinese portion, too.
* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: Done sometimes.
* [[Brick Joke]]: Quite a few.
Line 59:
'''Hitmonchan:''' I'mma punchin' 'em 'cos I'm not good at kickin' 'em! }}
* [[Halloween Special]]: The main punchline is both scary and hilarious, but only if you read all of the comics prior.
* [[
** The drawn special in question cannot be found at Smack Jeeves, for unknown reasons. It is currently only hosted at [[Deviant ART]]. To find it, visit [http://ultimateridley.deviantart.com/art/Pogeymanz-Special-Drawn-Comic3-181075327 this link] (links directly to it).
*** [[Deviant ART]] is '''''not''''' the best place to find all of the comics. Ultimate Ridley never posted the "canon" comics on DA past the twentieth-ish issue (there are about fifty of them on Smack Jeeves). The only comic to find there that is exclusive to DA is the third drawn special (the other two are on both Smack Jeeves and DA).
Line 66:
* [[Kill It with Fire]]: [No Name] is the victim of a crazy pyromaniac. Averted, because the pyro did not express any intentions to kill him.
** {{spoiler|Later, Bob sets a pedophiliac ship captain aflame. He kinda sorta wanted to kill him.}}
* [[Leet Lingo]]: Used a bit. Is supposed to be the lingua franca of Team Nubzorz, but never appeared beyond comic #10.
** Even though the author earlier claimed it would be more frequent. Apparently he decided to really dumb it down because people complain about it. This troper assumes those who complain cannot read poorly ciphered English.
* [[Mind Screw]]: The entire comic. But it's an awesome mind screw.
Line 77:
*** The best one so far, though, is Sofa King Stew Pidd (Stewart Pidd, the King of Sofas). Don't say that out loud if parents are near.
* [[Schedule Slip]]: The comic never truly had a defined schedule, but updating has decreased significantly.
* [[
{{quote|'''Director Guy:''' WHERE THE [interrupted word] IS EUSINE?!}}
** The interruption? An outlined rectangle, captioned "4Kids", diagonally placed over the word. The rectangle is only large enough to obscure the interrupted word.
