The Adventures of Dr. McNinja: Difference between revisions

Line 3:

{{quote|'''Dr. McNinja''':'' Could this boy's youthful innocence and exuberance be what I need to keep my [[Dark and Troubled Past|dark and troubled soul]] in check?''

'''Dr. McNinja's Inner Voice''': ''(You're not a dark and troubled soul. You're a doctor who wants to be [[Batman]].'') }}

Line 29:

* [[Action Mom]]: Mitzi, a rare example who is ''entirely willing'' to sacrifice her children if necessary, although in the specific example in question it was to save him from a [[Fate Worse Than Death]].

* [[Affably Evil]]: Dracula.

* [[The Ahnold]]: Frans Rayner, although his backstory actually hews closer to The [[Jean Claude Van Damme]] or The [[Chuck Norris]]. Geographically, he'd be more like the [[Dolph Lundgren]]. Doctor McNinja himself (minus the accent) in the "Army Of One" story arc. Do we even have to mention how hilariously awesome it is?

* [[All Myths Are True]]: And ''will'' show up in the current arc if they get so much as a passing mention.

* [[Alt Text]]: Musings on the story, a pithy phrase, the punchline to the strip or even [http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/15p44 little] [http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/15p46 stories] are all stuck in here. It can generally be assumed that even if the strip itself does not contain a joke, the [[Alt Text]] will. Chris will also bitch about how hard pirate hats are to draw whenever there are pirates, because perspective is difficult with their odd shape. He hates trees too.

Line 58:

* [[A Wizard Did It]]: What the [[Alt Text]] to the July 1st, 2011 news entry/fill-in comic implies.

* [[Ax Crazy]]

* [[Back ~~From~~ the Dead]]: Ben Franklin, via cloning; the Doc himself, via invoking [[Only a Flesh Wound]]; {{spoiler|Frans Rayner}}, thanks to [[Never Found the Body]].

Line 298:

{{quote|Do you think I run around with a ''twelve year old boy'' just because I like his inferior grasp of girls and higher level math? Do you think I left him with my psychotic parents because I wanted him to '''die'''? '''No''', you undead pale ponce! '''Gordito''' is the effing '''badass kid'''. So go ahead and finish up your masterful scheme to make me let you kill me, because Gordito's going to slap around whatever ghost lackey you have like he was a pinata on the Mexican day of the dead."}}

** The [[Mummy]] that accompanies Archibald King of the Hoboes, which grants him immortality and protects him from assassination attempts.

* [[Hypothetical Casting]]: [http://www.comicmix.com/news/2008/06/04/interview-chris-hastings-on-the-adventures-of-dr-mcninja/ In this interview], creator Chris Hastings said that his casting choices for a ''Dr. McNinja'' movie would be [[Sam Rockwell]] or Will Arnett as the Doc, Sam Elliot or [[Hulk Hogan]] as Dan McNinja, and [[Anjelica Huston]] as Mitzi McNinja. The villains would include Williem Dafoe as Donald McBonald, [[Jean Claude Van Damme]] as Frans Rayner, Phil Fondacaro as Knickerbockers, and [[Bela Lugosi]] as [[Dracula]], "''[[The Crow]]'' style."

* [[I Am One of Those, Too]]: Subverted -- Sean calls Gordito out on his inner geekiness, only to backpedal rapidly as he realizes he has just revealed his own.

* [[Improbable Aiming Skills]]: [http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/10p8 Where do you think Gordito got it from?]

Line 414:

** [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot]] ''[[No Kill Like Overkill|Monkey Clown BANDITO]]'' '''''[[No Kill Like Overkill|WEREWOLVES!]]''''' Well, not in that order.

** Also, {{spoiler|[[Samus Is a Girl|ex-girlfriend]]}} [http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/14p17 robot commando temple guards.]

{{quote|'''Dan:''' Who would call us on Katanaka?

Line 457:

{{quote|'''Dan:''' Ha. Alright kids, not bad. Not bad. How about a drink in honor of all your beginners luck? Here. I'll pour you a Molson. It's got a higher alcohol content than most American beers. And maybe that will help sterilize all those cuts on your face.

'''Punk:''' Uh, what cuts, my man?

[[Grievous Bottley Harm|*SMASH*]]

'''Dan:''' I have no idea. }}

* [[Pre-Mortem One-Liner]]

Line 487:

* [[Retcon]]: On January 30 2012, the return of the [[McNinja]] burger in-comic, Hastings went and changed all "[[McDonald's]]" references to "McBonalds" so that he wouldn't have any legal issues printing the book later, including a modified logo and renaming Ronald McDonald to Donald McBonald. The protest signs [http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/0p4/ on this page] only had strokes added over the D's to change them to B's, rather than the letters being redrawn.

* [[Rise ~~From~~ Your Grave]]

* [[Rise from Your Grave]]

* [[The Rival]]: Doctor McLuchadore is this to Dr. McNinja. Apparently the former's tendency to treat his patients via insane wrestling moves got on the latter's nerves and the ninja-doctor ran the wrestler-doctor out.

* [[Robot Me]]: [http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/11p45 Here]

Line 566:

{{quote|'''Dr. McNinja''': I'm really sorry, but it looks like the test confirmed it, and your cancer is back. But I do have some good news.

'''Patient''': "Didja save a bunch of money on your car insurance, Doc?"

'''Dr. McNinja''': [[Visible Silence|...]] "If any doctor were ever to say that they would lose their license immediately. Do you ''really'' think that's funny?"

'''Patient''': "It's a funny commercial on TV!"

'''Dr. McNinja''': "Is cancer funny to you? Is cancer ''funny'' to you?!"

'''Patient''': "I'm sorry."

'''Dr. McNinja''': [[Jerkass|"You should be."]] }}

* [[Tap on the Head]]: Includes both the 'neck chop' and [[Pistol-Whipping]] variants. Still, you know... ''ninja''.

Line 598:

'''Dr McNinja''': "That would be 'kick' ass." }}

* [[You Have Failed Me...]]: [http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/4p18 "I bet that I could catch the both of you if you were on fire."]

* [[You Have to Burn the Web]]: Zelda thwarts the doctor again!

* [[Your Head Asplode]]: Happens to one of the steam-punkesque sky-pirates after being told that his sword is [[Awesome but Impractical]], his [[Goggles Do Nothing]] and his [[Anachronism Stew|Anachronism Stewed]] outfit bears [[Unfortunate Implications]]. Also, he dropped a sprocket and someone said Queen Victoria ''was stupid''.
