Due to the fact that it is a Something Awful forum attraction, the first two Zoofights cannot be viewed by the average Internet denizen due to being too old, therefore requiring a Something Awful Archives account (which costs money). The [http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=2820029 third] is available for public viewing regardless of whether you have a Something Awful forum account, as is [http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3299182 the fifth one]; however, [http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3128966 the fourth] requires the Archives account upgrade. Fortunately, all of the Zoofights story arcs [[The Unfavorite|save the second]] are currently hosted on [http://www.zoofights.co.uk the Zoofights website], and the (now over) Zoofights 6 can be seen [http://forums.zoofights.co.uk/viewforum.php?f=3 here], since it's thread of Something Awful cannot be seen by non-members currently.
 
The [[The Eighties|Eighties-themed]] 6th series began on May 1st, 2011, [[Schedule Slip|and ended]] [[Troubled Production|six-and-a-half months later]].
 
In 2012, the [http://zoofights.squarespace.com/ Zoofights blog] changed its format from an annual tournament to a series of "[[What If]]" fights.
Line 205:
* [[Precision F-Strike]]: {{spoiler|A MOTHERFUCKING MARTIAN. OH SHIT SON.}}
* [[Product Placement]]: If all goes well Zoofights IV will have [[Care Bears]] vs. [[My Little Pony]] in round 2 and Coke vs. Pepsi in the Losers League. What can I say, it's [[The Eighties]].
* [[Promoted Fanboy]]: You like Zoofights? You can draw? Well then come aboard - Major Failure's always looking for a helping hand. One good example is the user Empty Sandwich. He works with clay, and made models of some of the fighters in Zoofights 3 and 4. Come Zoofights 5 he now contributes directly to the fights, with his modeling work appearing in Croctopus vs. Pride and Prejudice, Sting Kong vs. Barbarrimundi, Great Leap Forward vs. The Snapture, and {{spoiler|Captain Croctopus vs. Sturgeongrad}}
* [[Punny Name]]: Oh the Huge Manatee is probably the [[So Bad It's Good|worst/best]] Punny Name in Zoofights.
** Snake Preview of Zoofights 5 is also pretty punny. Zoofights just relishes silly names.
Line 216:
* [[Reveal Shot]]: Zoofights 6 - {{spoiler|In the final, Vighneshvara and Armour Dio are shown in a close-up shot pummeling each other. Then the next picture pulls back the view to reveal that [[Magnificent Bastard|they are unknowingly being surrounded by]] [[Actually a Doombot|six lobster-controlled mechs.]]}}
* [[Rock Beats Laser]]: Zoofights 5 - {{spoiler|Great Leap Forward vs. The Snapture}}
* [[Role -Playing Game]]: The voters have included several [[Doctor Who|Doctors]], [[Fan Nickname|"Sad]] [[The Road|Aragorn"]], [[Steampunk]] [[Theodore Roosevelt]], [[Lucifer (comics)|Lucifer]], [[Escape from New York|Snake]] [[Escape From L.A.|Plissken]], [[The Dark Crystal|Aughra]], (irradiated) Marie Curie, (mutated) [[Niccolo Machiavelli|Machiavelli]], [[Freud Was Right|Sigmund Freud]], the [[Robot Monster]], the cockroach from ''[[WALL-E]]'', Alexander the Great, Kim Jong-Il (who was oddly silent during Great Leap Forward's round), [[Star Trek|Capt. Kirk]], [[There Will Be Blood|Daniel Plainview]], [[Deadwood|Al Swearingen]] (co-bartended with Gezora in Zoofights 4), [[The Sopranos|Paulie Walnuts]], [[Transmetropolitan|Spider Jerusalem]], [[Preacher (Comic Book)|The Saint of Killers]] (who almost got into a fight with one of the more nihilistic Doctors), [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Dr. Robotnik]], [[Event Horizon|Dr. Weir]], [[Futurama|Scruffy the Janitor]], Elohim's [[The Pope|Pope]] (Benedict XVI -- no 'shopping necessary!), [[The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension|Buckaroo Banzai]], [[Time Travel|Time]] [[Santa Claus|Santa]] and his pal [[Back to The Future|Doc Brown]], an African warlord, an [[Blade Runner|eye doctor]], countless videogame and comicbook characters, random (photos of) real people, quite a few original characters, and several [http://www.keiththompsonart.com/pages/slaver.html Keith Thompson] characters. Oh, [[My Friends and Zoidberg|and]] Tim Buckley<ref> I'm surprised that with all the Keith Thompson characters no one used [http://www.keiththompsonart.com/pages/necromancer.html this ingenious lady] as Lilah/Brittany</ref>. However, there's a rule that the role-playing shouldn't get too out of hand least it get in the way of the actual fighting, which apparently happened in one of the earlier rounds [[Old Shame|to everyone's detriment]].
* [[Rule of Cool]]: The entire series, really. There's a train with a bison attached to it, for crying out loud.
* [[Running Gag]]: '''GEZORA DOES NOT UNDERSTAND WHISPERING.'''
Line 262:
* [[Taking You with Me]]: {{spoiler|Elohim's final "screw you" to Seanet, Dred Zeppelin, Ned Killy, Jupiter, and everyone on board the ship the final battle is taking place on.}}
* [[The Last Dance]]: {{spoiler|Hydrafficus}}
* [[The Messiah]]: In a way, {{spoiler|Croctopus}} in Zoofights V.
* [[The Power of Rock]]: This is how {{spoiler|Rammoninite}} manages to defeat his opponent under seemingly impossible odds.
* [[The Unfavorite]]: The Mess.
