PvP (webcomic): Difference between revisions

* [[Bi the Way]]: [http://www.pvponline.com/2011/04/26/turn-of-the-bookworm/ Miranda, apparently]. Or maybe she's not, and [[Attention Whore|just likes attention]]. Or is just messing with her sisters.

* [[Blind Without'Em]] - In a somewhat unusual example, Brent, because [[Fridge Brilliance|he wears sunglasses so often that his eyes can't handle the sunlight.]]

* [[The Butler Did It]] - Not murder-related, but {{spoiler|Butler is the LOLBAT.}}

* [[But We Used a Condom]] - Jade's pregnancy scare

* [[GIRL]] - Francis's ''[[City of Heroes]]'' character, Catfight.

** Also how Jade and Brent started dating. Francis played the GIRL for Brent and out of pity, Jade tried to bring Brent down gracefully.

* [[Gratuitous German]] - [http://www.pvponline.com/2009/09/28/schaden-fraud/ Here]. Made even more hilarious by the comic notes.

* [[Hollywood Nerd]]: To a certain extent, Brent is this. He pretends he's not a nerd, but his interests are very nerd-oriented. Furthermore, as in this trope, he's good-looking and socially adept (in other words, "normal"). The twist is that Brent is the ''only'' [[Hollywood Nerd]] in the main cast (except maybe Max Powers and Jade), since Francis and Cole are closer to popular perceptions of nerdom.

* [[I Did What I Had to Do]] - {{spoiler|Duck fires Cole}} and justifies it by claiming that {{spoiler|Cole is the reason the company is in such dire straits now. [[Jerkass Has a Point|Which is at least partially true]], since Cole did hide the company's floundering finances instead of seeking help earlier.}}

** Robbie and Jase. Robbie still shows up on occasion, but Jase is basically gone.

* [[Product Placement]] - Not necessarily in the comic itself, but several of the site designs have been lousy with it, almost to the point that clicking anywhere outside the comic accidentally would take you to a sponsor site.

* [[Proud to Be A Geek]] - The whole cast, with the exception of Jade. Even she might just be a different style of geek..

** Brent, actually is an aversion, and while he admits to "interests that coincide with nerdity" he denies being an actual nerd, which Francis (a straight example of this trope) calls him out on it. He's an avowed Apple geek who will buy ''any'' product they make, a D&D player, a gamer, he plays ''[[World of Warcraft]]'' with his wife (who's in many ways geekier than him), quotes movies constantly, has declared [[Joss Whedon]] his master, almost dropped out of college because he was hooked on Sega games, and consistently gets into arguments about genre fiction or gaming with Francis and Cole. [[Blatant Lies|But he's not a nerd. Definitely not a nerd.]]

** Cole and Brent racing to an appointment by blasting off in the General Lee from ''The Dukes of Hazzard'' (after wishing for it from a genie)

* [[Seventies Hair]] - Bulldog and Cooch. [[LOL Speak|They haz it]].

{{quote| "LEVEL UP! You gain: +3 Years Maturity!....Community College Courses!}}

* [[Sitcom Arch Nemesis]] - Max Powers.

** In [[Real Life]], Gabe and Tycho from [[Penny Arcade]], their good-natured cruelty to each other popping up in a strip every once in a while. Scott's foreword to one of their print collections ended with "Fuck them, and fuck you for buying this book and not PVP," and Gabe and Tycho refer to Scott as "Steve Kuntz" on the regular. Now that Scott is living in Seattle and working in the Penny Arcade offices, one only assumes that the hijinks will continue.

{{quote| Robbie "Okay everyone stand back. This thing absorbed decades worth of farts and it's going to go up like a roman candle."}}

* [[Versus Title]]

* [[Younger Than They Look]] - Cole, Brent, Robbie and Jase were college roommates, which suggests they're around the same age. Cole states in one early strip that he's ''about to turn 30''. He looks a solid 15 years older than Brent.

* [[Your Mom]] - [http://www.pvponline.com/2009/06/16/old-the-phone/ Expertly delivered by Francis.]
