Line 5: \|'''Commander Badass'''}} Created as an entry for a webcomic contest in 2010 for [[The Escapist]], '''''Manly Guys Doing Manly Things''''' (MGDMT) is a comic about a temp agency to help [[Testosterone Poisoning\|"ludicrously macho guys"]] find work in the real world when they no longer have work as popular fiction characters. How well they actually integrate has... [[Hilarity Ensues\|mixed results]]. Sadly, the comic lost out, but was by far a favorite among those paying attention to the contest, making it popular enough for its creator, Coelasquid, to keep it going from 2010 to 2018. It can now be viewed at [http://thepunchlineismachismo.com/ here] in all its ~~MANLY~~''manly'' glory. {{tropelist}} Line 26: Coelasquid also hates the [[Ukefication\|bishification]] (going on an [[Author Tract]] on how she really dislikes bishification in fanart, since the result does not resemble the original design) of characters and the [[American Kirby Is Hardcore\|flipside]] of the trope. {{quote\|[http://thepunchlineismachismo.com/archives/1102 "Ghat damn, nobody out there content t' just let people like ya fer who y'are"]}} She had a special brand of venom for [[~~Nie R~~NieR]]'s Japanese design and motivation, saying it was far weaker and much more prissy than American NieR trying to find his daughter. * [[Awesome McCoolname]]: Commander Badass. Not that he uses the second part much. * [[Badass]]: Most of the characters. Usually parodied (often in a deconstructive fashion) - the premise of the comic is to show how this character trait isn't exactly the best way to deal with [[Real Life]]. Line 82: ** One strip had Krauser from the ''[[Resident Evil]]'' franchise admit that Chris in ''[[Resident Evil 5]]'' was him in disguise. He did this just to get Wesker's attention. * [[I Know Mortal Kombat]]: Jared insists his high [[Call of Duty]] scores make him an expert marksman. [[Subverted Trope\|He doesn't know anything about how to actually hold a gun.]] * [[Involuntary Shapeshifter]]: [[~~Nie R~~NieR]], who unwillingly shapeshifts from his gruff old [[Papa Wolf]] form seen in the [[American Kirby Is Hardcore\|western version]] of his game to the Bishonen version seen in the Japanese version. * [[I Regret Nothing]]: Jared, after The Commander regrets trusting him with a power washer. * [[Just Eat Him]]: Jared's approach to Pokemon battling after Mr. Fish evolved. This got him kicked out of Pokemon League. Line 161: * [[Unreliable Narrator]]: [http://thepunchlineismachismo.com/archives/328 Commander Badass admits you can't be sure that any of what he says is true]. * [[Unsettling Gender Reveal]]: [[Street Fighter\|Poison]] to Jared. Commander's more amazed that Jared ''honestly'' thought he had a chance with her, male or not. * [[The Virus]]: [[Tetsuya Nomura\|Nomura]] Syndrome. Patient zero was [[~~Nie R~~NieR]]. There's also an inverse version of this that Ryu of ''[[Breath of Fire II]]'' suffers from, as well as a poison that turns [[The Big Lebowski\|Walter]] into a [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic\|pony]]. * [[The Voiceless]]: Pyramid Head. He plays charades with [[Halloween (film)\|Michael Myers]] and [[Friday the 13th (film)\|Jason Voorhees]] every Wednesday, but nobody ever makes a guess. This bugs the hell out of Commander Badass: {{quote\|''"For chrissakes, it's [[Pride and Prejudice]]!"''}} Line 176: [[Category:Manly Guys Doing Manly Things]] [[Category:Web Comics]] [[Category:Web Comics of the 2010s]] [[Category:Defunct Web Comics]]
