Stop Helping Me!/Web Comics
Examples of Stop Helping Me! in Web Comics include:
- In The Order of the Stick, Elan's enthusiastic attempts to help his friends with his music are sometimes... less than useful.
Elan: ♪ Bluff, Bluff, Bluff, Bluff the stupid ogre! ♪ |
- The sparks of Girl Genius often get a little carried away with having fun and forget they're supposed to actually, you know, be doing things.
- Also, Moloch trying to argue with what was sadistically insane AI when it was functioning properly.
- Happens all the time in Schlock Mercenary. One notable occasion is when Schlock accidentally lets slip to the clients they're planning to con that they made plans to... well, con them. Elf manages to explain it away as a security precaution.
Schlock: Nice cover. |
- In When She Was Bad Gail hits Ben with this line.
- Weregeek got a Shadowrun campaign where a firework-happy rigger Twitch (Abbie's PC) saved Aeon (Mark's PC):
Mark: You're totally not allowed to rescue me any more. |
- Later his PC needs some help once more:
Abbie: Never fear!! Twitch will come to the rescue! |
- In Life with Lamarr, Kleiner's "helpful advice" drives Magnusson insane.
- In Impure Blood, Dara resents her bodyguard, but since she didn't hire her, can't get rid of her. Not that Elnor likes it very much either.

- Happens to Big Boss in The Last Days of Foxhound.
- Jareth in the Mega Crossover fancomic Roommates is really enthusiastic about helping his friends but he sucks in being good or even in vaguely helpful. Direct examples: His plan for fixing his roommate's relationship involved turning the guy into a kid again. And when they needed to rescue someone from a stuck elevator he was the one shouting and being in the way.
- The Noob had a new feature: The PvP Paperclip!
- Antihero for Hire has a secret superhero base with Clippy-style doors.
- Goblins, unsurprisingly, seeing how almost everyone is gung-ho, and MinMax also has Intelligence as Dump Stat. MinMax tries to help Kin in a trap… So after failing to open it via puzzle for 3-year old kids, he tries to break in. It's a vibration-sensitive trap.
