The Incredible Worlds of Wally McDoogle is a Christian book series by Bill Myers (also known for his work on McGee and Me!), which follow the strange adventures of the titular Wally McDoogle, the world's most accident-prone kid, and his friends, the greedy Wall Street and Big Eater Opera, as they go on wild adventures either at home or abroad.The books also include B-plots involving the superhero stories Wally writes on his trusty computer Ol' Betsy, a Christianity-derived aesop the three learn, and a heaping helping of amusing injuries along the way.The series ran for 28 books, during which Wally has gone to summer camp, saved his town, been a stuntman, turned invisible, wrangled a giant tarantula, became a cheeseburger...yeah, it's that type of series.For more works by the same author, see Secret Agent Dingledorf and His Trusty Dog Splat. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
The Incredible Worlds of Wally McDoogle / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: My Life As Crocodile Junkfood was considerably darker than any of the previous books as well as any of the subsequent books, presenting the reader with several cases of Family-Unfriendly Violence and at least one Tear Jerker moment. My Life As Polluted Pond Scum, while not on the same level as Crocodile Junkfood was also considerably more serious than many of the other books, as it featured the fate of Wally's town being at stake, some rather shady goings on, and several characters nearly die in some rather violent ways. | |

Lethal Chef: Wally's little sister, Carrie. It's a running gag throughout the series that she is this, as, when it's her turn to cook, she dishes out stuff like candied Brussels sprouts, cauliflower cobbler, and boiled ice cream. Wally is also implied to be this in book #24. At one point he cooks breakfast for Opera's parents and not only burns the toast, eggs, and bacon, but even their orange juice. | |

The Incredible Worlds of Wally McDoogle / int_4781adbb | comment |
My Life as A Cowboy Cowpie features a wealthy, good-looking fellow camper at the cowboy camp setting of the book named Chad Diamond, whom Wall Street develops a crush on. It's gets cleared pretty fast that Chad has it in for Wally, pulling several pranks on him over the course of the story, but it's hinted that he may be nicer than he seems... or not. It turns out that he likes to pretend to be the ideal boyfriend to girls, only to embarrass the girl he's with in front of their families by acting like he doesn't know them when the girl introduces them, then laugh when the girl gets distraught afterwards. Wall Street finds this out the hard way. He winds up learning his lesson when he goes through a big-time Humiliation Conga that nearly gets him killed in the climax. | |

Characterization Marches On: The male "Save The Snails" terrorist. In My Life as Dinosaur Dental Floss, he was an effeminate momma's boy. When he showed up later in the series, in book 16, he was basically a Mugsy expy, complete with a Simpleton Voice. When the terrorists reappeared in book 23, however, he reverted back to the aforementioned momma's boy persona. | |

Kids Shouldn't Watch Horror Films | |
The Incredible Worlds of Wally McDoogle / int_5ae63861 | comment |
Kids Shouldn't Watch Horror Films: My Life As a Haunted Hamburger opens with Wally, Wall Street, and Opera managing to sneak into an R-rated horror/sci-fi movie called Body-Stealing Ghosts from Jupiter. Wally winds up scared by it, to say the least; he spends most of the film "hiding under [his] theater seat, praying for [his] life, and getting [his] face stuck to the floor on somebody's old gummy worms", and afterwards he claims to have had seventeen nightmares from it and has the movie adversely affect his initial attempts to write his obligatory superhero story. (Ironically, unlike most cases of this trope, we never find out if Wally's parents found out about this or if they punished Wally for it.) | |

Heel–Face Turn: Wally's superhero stories usually end with the villain becoming good. The only exceptions are Lizard Lips in My Life As Alien Monster Bait and Toxoid Breath in My Life As A Broken Bungee Cord. (These are the second and third books respectively in the series, making this a case of Early-Installment Weirdness.) | |

The Incredible Worlds of Wally McDoogle / int_7fbb2a3 | comment |
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Given how much of a clumsy guy Wally is, he's (either indirectly or directly) caused quite a few of the problems he has to solve. To whit: My Life As A Computer Cockroach: Long story short, Wally's antics with his computer, which now has the ability to affect reality with what is typed into it, ultimately lead up to him inadvertently causing the Y2K bug. My Life As A Stupendously Stomped Soccer Star: After a bad soccer accident, Wally is given the opportunity to change how his life is at the end of every day, but the changes keep causing worse and worse problems until it results in global chaos. note Best player on the school soccer team: Wall Street and Opera no longer want to be friends with him. Best soccer player in the world, while keeping his friends: Opera becomes a bully, Wall Street is a school drop-out, and the entire soccer team quit out of inferiority to Wally's skills. Becomes a pro player and leaves school: Wall Street makes so much money that she buys the entire country and subjects Wally to playing soccer players from penitentiaries, Opera begins beating up people for a living, and his family life falls apart. Wishes for no pain: People simply ignore the injuries they get, causing them to die from them and mass mayhem fills the streets. No gravity: Complete and utter chaos, Wall Street and Opera die, and the world begins floating away from the sun, causing everything and everyone to freeze over. Fortunately, this is one of the books that has an All Just a Dream ending. | |

Broken Pedestal: Wally's Uncle Max, a famous stuntman, in My Life as a Bigfoot Breath Mint to Wally himself. At first, Max seems like the cool guy everyone (including Wally) thinks he is. As the book goes on, though, it becomes clear that Max is just a shallow, selfish scumbag who only lives and cares for himself (and is a target of loan sharks), to the point that he leaves Wally to drown in a flooded stadium just to save his own skin then tells the media that he saved Wally, when it was actually Wally's dad who risked his life to save Wally. Needless to say, Wally isn't happy when this happens. | |

Here Wall Street couldn't care less what plans Wally had with Opera and Little Buddy Leroy, she just keeps telling Wally that if you want to win, you gotta put yourself before everyone else, and continuously pushes him to prepare for the skateboarding race whether he wants to or not. She does this more than once during the book. Fortunately, she returns to being a Jerk with a Heart of Gold in proceeding books. | |

Status Quo Is God | |
The Incredible Worlds of Wally McDoogle / int_a6e8221e | comment |
Status Quo Is God: A recurring plot-line is that Wally's dad wants Wally to 'be a man' and that writing seems lame. Come book #11, where Dad, after Wally saves the town, accepts that Wally wants to be a writer and thinks he's a man. Unfortunately, after that book, Dad's back to wanting Wally to be a man and that writing seems lame. Gary the Gorilla, the local bully, also gets some Character Development in the first book, and by the end even seems to be becoming friends with Wally, but for whatever reason, this is ignored as, in all proceeding books, he's back to bullying everyone. | |

During the events of the same book, Wally reminisces about his misadventures...thinking about how he saved the town from being flooded back in "Polluted Pond Scum"...except he actually saved the water from being contaminated by a disgruntled sewage employee who was in cahoots with a shady Mega-Corp rather than merely preventing a flood. | |

Series Continuity Error: In book #18 "Beat-Up Basketball Backboard", Wall Street mentions making money off of Wally since kindergarten, but Wally's only known her (and Opera) since the first book, where they were twelve. During the events of the same book, Wally reminisces about his misadventures...thinking about how he saved the town from being flooded back in "Polluted Pond Scum"...except he actually saved the water from being contaminated by a disgruntled sewage employee who was in cahoots with a shady Mega-Corp rather than merely preventing a flood. | |

No Sense of Humor | |
The Incredible Worlds of Wally McDoogle / int_f5e6ed44 | comment |
No Sense of Humor: Pretty much everyone in Wally's superhero stories (usually the superhero) groans at "bad" jokes, even the ones that are funny. Everyone in the "Real World" is also this to a lesser extent. And they all think that the reader has no sense of humor too, expecting you to groan at every joke. (Something it shares with sister series McGee and Me!.) | |

My Life As Polluted Pond Scum, while not on the same level as Crocodile Junkfood was also considerably more serious than many of the other books, as it featured the fate of Wally's town being at stake, some rather shady goings on, and several characters nearly die in some rather violent ways. | |
