[http://www.reallifecomics.com/ Real Life Comics] is a [[Life Embellished]] webcomic by Greg Dean. [[Non
The comic is updated on weekdays. Not to be confused with, well, [[Real Life]].
{{tropelist}}
* [[Aborted Arc]]: One arc was a parody of ''[[Sky Captain and The World of Tomorrow]]'', but the Artist cancels it a few strips in because it would take forever and the movie wasn't all that interesting to begin with.
* [[AI Is a Crapshoot]]: Averted with the various computers and consoles that have gained sentience over the course of the comic, like Dave's PAL and Dreamcast, which are nice and friendly. Though when Dreamcast returns years later in an [[Portal (Video Game)|Aperture Science Personality Core]], Greg briefly worries that there's a [[G La DOS|psychotic A.I. somewhere that wants to kill him]]. Tony says there is, because that's [[Evil Overlord|just what he does]].
Line 16 ⟶ 15:
* [[BFS]]: First an [http://www.reallifecomics.com/archive/000229.html Authentic Scottish Claymore]. Then a full-size replica of [[Final Fantasy VII|Cloud's]] [http://reallifecomics.com/archive/010620.html Buster Sword].
* [[Berserk Button]]: Do NOT ask Greg if he [http://www.reallifecomics.com/archive/030723.html owns the] [[The Legend of Zelda (Franchise)|Master Sword]]. Additionally, Liz threatened to kill Greg when he suggested that [[Walt Disney]] was a [[Fanfic]] author (she did it again when he said the [[Useful Notes/Fonts|Comic Sans font]] is genius, but his explanation [[Fridge Brilliance|makes perfect sense to her]]).
* [[Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick]]: Greg and Dave find a to do list on the table, judging by the things on it, it's Tonys
* [[Bilingual Bonus]]: The Shirt Ninja speaks in Japanese.
* [[Brain Uploading]]: Literally, when Dave's sentient computer PAL uploads itself to his brain to escape the self-destruction of Tony's space station. He later downloads himself into a new computer by [[Crowning Moment of Funny|having Dave vocally mimic a dial-up modem]].
Line 35 ⟶ 34:
* [[Death Ray]]
* [[Detonation Moon]]: Joked about in [http://www.reallifecomics.com/archive/091009.html this strip]
* [[Early Installment Weirdness]]: Early strips made more references to anime and really abused the [[Life Embellished]] concept, as seen when Greg goes on a date with [[Ah! My Goddess (Manga)|Belldandy]] and Tony builds a [[Mechwarrior]] which causes his girlfriend to complain until the author bribes her with an [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|Evangelion]]. After a while most of the unrealistic wackiness was confined to Tony and his [[Evil Overlord]] antics.
* [[Easter Egg]]: Repeated uses of [[The Hitchhikers Guide to The Galaxy|the number 42]].
* [[Evil Overlord]]: Tony.
Line 78 ⟶ 77:
** And more recently with an arc involving the first Final Fantasy.
* [[No Fourth Wall]]: The cartoonist has physically appeared in the strip, and occasionally talks to the characters from outside the comic. The [[Plot Hole]] arc had {{spoiler|Tony climbing through a plot hole into [[Welcome to The Real World|the real world.]]}}
* [[Non
* [[Older Than They Look]]: Parodied on the [http://www.reallifecomics.com/archive/091119.html Nov 19 2009] strip: Tony claims to be born before 1934, the year they published Superman, whose life story he was deliberately ripping off.
* [[One Steve Limit]]: Averted, since both Greg's wife and his previous girlfriend are named Elizabeth. His wife goes by Liz, while his ex is usually called Lizzie to avoid confusion.
