Line 6:
The bulk of the comic can be boiled down to a basic format; once a year, there would be a parodic retelling of one of the 8-bit ''Mega Man'' games, and once a year, a villain would show up and try to kill everyone. Filling the gaps are a mind-boggling amount of [[Time Travel]], [[Alternate Universe|Alternate Universes]], hilariously stupid antics, meta-interactions with the comic's author, and, of course, the titular Bob and George, two brothers who were a [[Super Villain]] and [[Superhero]] respectively before getting [[Trapped in Another World|warped into the Megaman Universe]].
Ran daily (mostly) from April 1st, 2000, to July 28th, 2007, [[Trope
Can be found [http://www.bobandgeorge.com/ right through this link].
Line 34:
* [[Baby Talk]]
* [[Backhanded Apology]]
* [[Back
* [[Bad Dreams]]
* [[Batman Grabs a Gun]]: In the last five strips of the series, George {{spoiler|figures out how to work his [[Power Armor]]'s [[Arm Cannon]], and takes aim at Bob}}.
Line 202:
* [[Lampshade Hanging]]: They do this so often that they hang lampshades on their habit of lampshade hanging.
{{quote|'''Dr. Light:''' [http://www.bobandgeorge.com/archives/000614 Want to know why his name's Rock?]
'''Dr. Wily:''' I know, I know, [[Theme Naming|Rock and Roll]]. I got it. [http://www.bobandgeorge.com/archives/000513 We did this joke before], remember?
'''Dr. Light:''' We did?
'''Dr. Wily:''' Yes. In fact, [http://www.bobandgeorge.com/archives/000525 we've done this joke before as well]. }}
* [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]]: What Wily fakes in order to infiltrate Dr. Light's lab and set up the events of the third game after trying to take over the world twice.
Line 268:
* [[Playing with Fire]]: Bob
* [[Plot Armor]]: Lampshaded in [http://www.bobandgeorge.com/archives/index.php?date=010107 this strip], double subverted in [http://www.bobandgeorge.com/archives/index.php?date=010108 the next strip] and seemingly used straight with a prior [[Lampshade Hanging]] in [http://www.bobandgeorge.com/archives/index.php?date=020731 this strip] and [http://www.bobandgeorge.com/archives/index.php?date=020730 the previous one].
** Later, it's given a [[Double Subversion]]. Bob and George can't die because they're in the title of the comic, so when the plot calls for George to actually die, the ''title of the comic'' changes to allow it to happen. [[Back
* [[Plot Hole]]: Averted, or so the Author says.
** This is almost a [[Running Gag]]; Plot Holes appear all over the place, and half the fun is watching the author attempt to seal them.
Line 304:
** Also most of the gags are given multiple subversions.
* [[Schmuck Bait]]
* [[
* [[Screams Like a Little Girl]]: Dr. Light in [http://www.bobandgeorge.com/archives/000909 this strip].

'''Bob:''' Yeah sure, no problem... Say, what's all this small type that looks suspiciously like fine print... Hey!
'''Macc:''' Damn... oh come on, sign it. }}
* [[
* [[Unwilling Suspension]]: George, during the third game. Among others. Many others.
* [[Villain Exit Stage Left]]: [[Discussed Trope]] in the commentary [http://www.bobandgeorge.com/archives/000908c here].
Line 377:
* [[You Can See Me?]]?: During George's time travel escapades. Only Bass and Rush can see him.
* [[You Can't Fight Fate]]
* [[You Have Failed Me...]]: As {{spoiler|Mega Man}} explains to Bass, it's essentially a requirement for all evil villains to kill their lackeys once they screw up. Nothing personal.
* [[You Killed My Father]]
* [[You Shall Not Pass]]
