Noisy Hill: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

 

The brain child of ILikeWaxingOwls, this utterly surreal series can best be described as "[[Silent Hill]] Abridged" and he manages the feat of taking a series noted for being dark and disturbing and turning it into something... hilarious and disturbing.

** EVERYONE does this.

** Douglas gives us this gem in response to Heather telling him not to talk:

* [[Captain Obvious]]:

'''Alex:''' That's because people are going missing. }}

** Douglas and Heather

'''Heather:''' It was a monster! }}

* [[Catch Phrase]]: Douglas likes to remind everyone that he's a detective at every possible opportunity.

* [[Character Exaggeration]]: James Sunderland's smothering Mary with a pillow is turned into a psychotic compulsion to do so to everyone. Henry's cluelessness is so great he often comes across as the long lost twin of Sailor Moon Abridged Mina.

* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Vincent. Very much so.

'''Vincent:''' Oh, really? When? Oh, I've been stabbed...Now to get a good look at my attacker. Oh no, it's you! Ohwait, that makes sense. }}

** James also applies:

'''James:''' I have such amazing hands.<br />

'''James:''' You see that door over there? That is probably the best door I have seen in my life. }}

** Lisa in Noisy Hill Shattered Memories appears to be one.

* [[Disproportionate Retribution]]: After Maria shoves James:

'''James:''' I don't like being shoved. }}

* [[The Ditz]]: Henry. Just Henry. After standing around while Richard is slowly electrocuted by a makeshift electric chair, what does he say?

** Then there's his belief that the Water Prison is a prison for criminal water...

* [[Everything's Better with Princesses]]: Heather randomly shifts into her Princess Heart costume, usually at the most dramatically inappropriate time.

* [[Genre Savvy]]: Eddie, of all people, points out that James comment about how it's "Not safe" is ridiculously obvious, given that they're in a survival horror game.

** Douglas has some pretty savvy moments himself:

'''Douglas:''' An ambulance? Oh yes, let's go back to the hospital! Great idea. Even if one did come, GOD ONLY KNOWS what would be driving it. }}

** And a little later in the same scene:

* [[Genre Blindness]]: Heather seems to have no idea that the things around her are dangerous and indeed sometimes seems to barely understand what's going on around her.

* [[Horrible Judge of Character]]: Douglas embodies this trope. "She seems nice enough...once you get past the whole cult aspect of her life."

* [[Insurmountable Waist High Fence]]: Averted by the Schisms.

'''Alex:''' "Oh God, they've learned!" }}

* [[Jerkass]]:

** James Sunderland is very much this throughout the first Noisy Hill. Perhaps the greatest moment of Jerkass-ness comes when he's talking to Angela on the burning staircase

** Douglas has a towering moment of Jerkass-ness when Heather is saying her peace to Harry

* [[Lampshaded Double Entendre]]: Travis's trucker friend hints that 'a girl or two could go a long way, if you know what I mean' in solving his sleeping problems. Naturally, Travis doesn't catch on.

* [[Lampshade Hanging]]: James sometimes does this, mostly on how bad some of his dialogue is.

** Right after the Sepulcher boss fight in Homecoming:

* [[No Fourth Wall]]: Eddie apparently knows they're in a survival horror game.

** Alex and Elle seem to have this at times too. Though in a Subversion of how this normally plays out in the series, when Alex acknowledges he's in a video game around his father he has no freaking clue what he's talking about

* [[Talking to Himself]]

* [[We Could Have Avoided All This]]: Claudia's entire plan.
