'''''[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.

* [[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.
