Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?/Web Original

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Examples of Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu? in Web Original include:

  • In The Gamers Alliance, the heroes of the Grand Alliance work together and defeat Nergal, the God of War, in combat.
  • In the Whateley Universe, Sara Waite fights The Kellith in dreamspace with a knife. And wins. Even if Sara Waite is The Kellith, or one is part of the other, or they're a duality, or something.
    • It actually makes sense in context: the 'Kellith' in the dream represents the magical brainwashing her supposed high priest was trying to inflict on her. Of course, that technically makes it not quite an example of this trope -- but then the Whateleyverse also has Tennyo, who apparently eats Eldritch Abominations, demons, and the like. (The jury's still out on whether she counts as one herself.)
  • Narwhals stop Cthulhu eating ye
  • In The Salvation War, this trope is definitely in play. In Armageddon?, the human race kills off Satan and in Pantheocide Yahweh, the entity behind the Abrahamic deity is next on their list. Powerful as heck and incredibly long-lived (functionally immortal against old age? Maybe), but not invulnerable...
    • As it happens, Yahweh was punched out by the Archangel Michael, but the human race did manage to punch out Uriel, the Angel of Death though.
  • About 8 minutes into this dramatic reading of a fanfic on TGWTG, Robin Hood kills Cthulhu. With a bigger arrow. In the eyehole. To be fair, the guy who wrote this fanfic was the demons.
  • Various episodes of the ONA of Nyaruko: Crawling with Love have Mahiro Yasaka stab Nyarko's hand with an elder sign (read "mundane fork"). Of cause it's parody, but consider that she's Nyarlathotep...
  • The Onion gives us NASA Completes 52-Year Mission to Find, Kill God.
  • "But this was the House of Red Fireflies, the greatest whorehouse in the world, and the mistress was a plump, matronly woman who had once killed a god with a broken beer bottle, and she looked at the fish, and she nodded."
  • In Marvels RPG, the Earth's heroes defeated the Galactus Swarm, being the first species in the universe to complete this task. Generation X defeating Nyx had the same effect.
  • Warning! Readers' Advisory: Averted! The Bard's not dumb enough to try it.
  • EPICMEALTIME: Did they just eat Cthulhu? (Meat Cthulhu, that is.)
  • In the second season finale of Marble Hornets, Jay is sleeping inn his hotel room when he hears Jessica scream from the adjoining room. He jumps up to help her, but then stops and turns around. The Operator has materialized into his room behind him. Jay pauses for a minute, as if considering whether to run away or not, but then just takes the path of greatest awesomeness and tackles the Operator out a window.
  • In the famed Creepypasta Russian Sleep Experiment, the best defense against the physical embodiment of mankind's daytime fears is found to be a TT-33 pistol.
  • Here's Batman vs. Candle Jack. Batman Wins.
  • The whole point of the SCP Foundation as they "contain" (as in, apprehend and jail) malevolent and/or dangerous creatures of supernatural origin. In fact, SCP-2662 is an offspring of Cthulhu itself. Who, in fact, really doesn't like cultists who try to worship him.
