Two Gamers on a Couch: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Ctrl+Alt+Del]]'': Wacky guy Ethan and straight man Lucas are roommates. Zeke the Xbot is their wacky [[Robot Buddy]] who wants to [[Kill All Humans]]. Lilah is the down-to-earth [[Gamer Chick|gamer girlfriend]] of Ethan. Hilarity Ensues.

* ''[[Garnet and Gure]]'' features [[Gamer Chick|Garnet]], a buffoonish latter-day gamer and Gure, a painfully emotionless old-schooler.

** Comic 357 [http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/2011/08/22/357-bowling/ "Bowling"] features Kirby, Diddy Kong, and Adeleine playing Wii Bowling on a couch.

* ''[[PvP (webcomic)|PvP]]'': A clear inversion. Despite it also centering around gaming, none of the main characters are gamers on a couch, and there USED to be two guys named Robbie and Jase who used to do just that. Then Robbie won the lottery, moved into a huge mansion, and had a falling-out with Jase.

* Animation example: ''[[Megas XLR]]'' is two gamers on a couch, even if their 'couch' as well as the 'game' is sometimes a [[Super Robot|giant robot]].

* Movie example: ''[[Shaun of the Dead]]'' starts off two one of the two guys (Shaun) questioning his half of the couch, and throughout the movie, tries to reorganize his life and his relationships... {{spoiler|but in the film's final scene, he's back where he's happiest, sitting on the couch playing video games with Ed, who's now a zombie but still able to play ''[[Time Splitters]]''}}.

* The Webcomic ''[http://www.thesnakefarm.com/strips/2guys/ 2 guys sitting on a sofa holding game controllers.]'' [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]]. Lines were submitted by readers, the pictures were ALWAYS the same.

** To elaborate, since it can no longer be accessed properly (the above link takes you to an error page with a version of the strip with two [[Beat Panels]] and a character saying "Umm...NO."), Panels with text added to them were divided into first panels, second panels, and third panels. Each time you looked at the page, a first panel, a second panel, and a third panel would be randomly chosen. And hopefully, the combination would be funny. Hopefully.

* [[Gorillaz]]' short ''Game of Death'' has 2D and Murdoc playing a fighting game, with Noodle and Russell as their respective characters.

* ''[[Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff (Webcomic)|Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff]]'' is ostensibly this, as it started life as a direct parody of a generic '''Two Gamers on a Couch''' comic posted on the ''[[Penny Arcade (Webcomic)|Penny Arcade]]'' forums. In practice, while the theme is still definitely there ([[Stylistic Suck|as far as anyone can tell]]), it's not quite as focused on gaming - only a small number of episodes make reference to playing games, and the only time Bro and Jeff are actually seen on a couch playing games quickly descends into... [[I Banged Your Mom|something else]].

* ''[[Virtual Shackles]]'': Various strips follow this format, with variations such as the two creators, two video game characters, one of the creators with their wife, etc.
