The Guild: Difference between revisions

''[[The Guild]]'' is an online [[Vlog Series]]-style sitcom created by [[Felicia Day]] of ''[[Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog|Dr. Horrible]]'' fame (and credited by [[Joss Whedon]] as an inspiration) after a two year addiction to ''[[World of Warcraft]]''. Each 3-8 minute episode centers on "The Knights of Good", an online guild in an unnamed MMORPG [[Brand X|similar to]] ''WOW''.

 

 

For their fifth season´s launch on youtube, they released "[[Proud to Be a Geek|I'm the one that's cool"]], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFhgupR565Q&list=UUaBf1a-dpIsw8OxqH4ki2Kg&feature=plcp here].

 

 

{{tropelist}}

* [[Abhorrent Admirer]]: Zaboo, but it has nothing to do with looks and everything to do with his lack of emotional maturity and over-the-top stalkery behavior. Although, as of the end of Season 4, he's beginning to look less abhorrent...

* [[Abusive Parents]]: Clara, of the neglectful variety; Zaboo's mother of the psychological variety.

* [[Achievements in Ignorance]]: {{spoiler|Wiggly takes down Kwan with spells so unoptimal he hadn't thought to defend against them. Lampshaded when [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|Wiggly says "Sheer idiocy is my gaming specialty".]]}}

* [[A Darker Me]]: Online, Bladezz is an obnoxious [[Troll]] who likes to make perverted comments and act like he's cool and edgy. In person, he lives with his parents, can't drive, and gets beat up by his little sister. Though, in a departure from the stereotype you'd expect, he's young and attractive (in a pretty, Hanson-esque way), so much that his mother made him do some embarrassing modeling photos to pay for college. Also Valkyrie, an Axis member, who tries to act uber-tough in an online chat with the Knights of Good only to be interrupted by his boss. Valkyrie tries to defuse his boss's suspicions he was internet surfing, which quickly degenerates into a conversation about how a client's damask came back coral instead of lavender as she'd requested.

** To be fair, Bladezz isn't the stereotypical "30-year-old living in his parents' basement" gamer, he lives with his parents because he's in high school and is under-aged.

* [[I Call Him "Mister Happy"]]: Mr. Wiggly. "They won't know that's my name for it... unless I hold open the mic like that." Actually referenced as early as season 1 in an outtake: Zaboo mentions his penis's name, and Clara mentions that her husband's has a name as well.

* [[I Can Change My Beloved]]: In season 1, Zaboo tries to pull this on Codex. (When it doesn't work out he instead tries to change himself, but that's a different story.)

* [[I Know Mortal Kombat]]: Zaboo weakly suggests this trope might apply when he challenges Wade Wei to a fight, only to find out that Wade is a professional stuntman. Vork immediately shoots him down, pointing out that Zaboo's game character is a [[Squishy Wizard]], and so his game experience doesn't apply to the real world, where casting spells is impossible.

* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]:

** Followed by {{spoiler|[[Ship Sinking]]}} in season 5

* [[Shout-Out]]: In season three, episode four:
