Zoofights: Difference between revisions

Line 96:

* [[Create Your Own Villain]]: Most of the many villains of Zoofights would have never existed if it weren't for the Loser's League insisting on reanimating and upgrading defeated fighters.

* [[Joke Character]]: Wolfbike, A Cat With One Leg, Bikebike, A Jar of Frog Piss

** In an interview about Zoofights 5, Major Failure gives a few hints of upcoming fighters. One of the creations he names is {{spoiler|a psychic onion}}, which promptly started much joking and hypothesizing among the readers. However, {{spoiler|once actually revealed, The European Onion proved to be no joke at all}}.

Line 201:

* [[Ominous Crack]]: Zoofights 3 - the grand entrance of {{spoiler|From Hell}}.

* [[Only Sane Man]]: Zoofights 5 - The Sturgeon General and The Snapture are considerably more intelligent and aware than the other 14 competitors. While The Snapture can read, write, and speak (rare for a Zoofighter), and the Sturgeon General is very calculating and resourceful, the other competitors are handicapped to various degrees by things like extreme hatred, deep patriotism, brainwashing and conditioning, insanity, dumb radio operators, low mental capacity, and copious ammounts of alcohol.

* [[~~Peoples~~ Republic of Tyranny]]: North Korea is still like this, even in Zoofights. Their entrant to Zoofights 5, Great Leap Forward, furthers the "we're nice people" lie.

* [[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 ~~Its~~ Good|worst/best]] Punny Name in Zoofights.

* [[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.

** Let's not forget '''A GORILLION DOLLARS'''!

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.]]}}

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]].

* [[Running Gag]]: '''GEZORA DOES NOT UNDERSTAND WHISPERING.'''

Line 225:

* [[Sensory Abuse]]: A video was posted to Youtube during Zoofights 4 purporting to be a look inside the mind of The Walrus. It was extremely loud and disorienting in there.

* [[Shell Shocked Veteran]]: Oh the Huge Manatee.

* [[Shell-Shocked Veteran]]: Oh the Huge Manatee.
