Two Gamers on a Couch | comment |
Two Gamers On A Couch is an archetype of the Webcomics medium. Many of the most popular webcomics (and the people who read and write them) have an interest in Video Games, and the two gamers on the couch, playing games and shooting the breeze about whatever crosses their minds, is the purest expression of this fanbase/author background. Two male friends, frequently Author Avatars of the artist and writer of the series, play computer games and have hijinks, mixing in political ideas and unexplained or explainable phenomena that surround their lives. Hilarity Ensues. The two roommates/friends will often borrow from the archetype of the Straight Man and Wise Guy: One will be wacky and insane, whose passion for computer games and other aspects of nerd culture will result in stupid, crazy, illegal and (hopefully) amusing repercussions. The second will be more down to earth, calm and intelligent — not above being pulled into the wacky one's schemes, but usually knowing when to pull out. He usually has a stable, "normal" career whereas the wacky one will either be unemployed or painfully incompetent at whatever they do. Sometimes this is expanded into a Comic Trio, when they are accompanied by one or more characters who provide context, perspective, or episode-specific references. These may range from a Snarky Non-Human Sidekick or a Dungeonmaster's Girlfriend to a Gamer Chick, Nerd Nanny, Robot Buddy, Monster Roommate, a Time Traveller, a character from the franchise being reviewed or any other unexplained supernatural or Science Fiction element that serves as a plot device and may or may not change on a per-episode basis. Most of these series are set in the "real world" and these fantastical elements are handwaved as really cool. Love interests as stand-ins for the authors' actual wives or girlfriends (assuming that the author has spoken to a girl in his life) are common as are actual Author Avatars who appear in one-off strips and comment on production or philosophical nonsense. |

Real Life Comics: Gaming is part of the overall geekery of the author's interests. Cast of Characters has fluctuated on the author's real life associations. Usually the Author Avatar is wacky, while her wife is sane — but for some situations, it's reversed. | |

Life of Riley: Started as a gag-a-day Life Embellished series about two of the members of the 'Clan Bob' online team, rife with in-jokes and innuendo about their girlfriends, but became an increasingly surreal mix of adventure and religious symbolism, before suddenly vanishing off the face of the 'net. | |

Endo and Kobayashi Live! starts off with Endo and Kobayashi making live commentaries for a Romance Game as a commentator practice, which is not that different from this trope's setup. At least, before they noticed Prince Siegwald can hear what they say from the other side of the screen. | |

The 40-Year-Old Virgin brought the trope to the film, with a good mix of Volleying Insults. In fact, a picture of said gamers, plus the line "You know how I know you're gay?", has become a Memetic Mutation, such that anyone asking the question merely posts the picture. | |

Sluggy Freelance was arguably this for its first week of strips, with Torg checking in each day on Riff's computer problems, such as summoning the Devil and the archangel Chuck onto his hard drive, who proceed to get into a Quake death match. The series quickly expanded far beyond this, however. Video games and random conversation between the Heterosexual Life-Partners do still appear in the strip, but are only one aspect of the increasingly bizarre and complex storylines. | |

Beavis And Butthead had sketches which in practice played this trope, but this was before video games had been broadly popularized. What they did instead was usually watch music videos (which was a medium of choice then...it was The '90s), and give a running color commentary. | |

Applegeeks: Started off as a TGOAC comic but quickly evolved into a more dramatic model. The wacky hawk (Mad Scientist Superhero) was the crazy one and he had many friends who took on the sane side of the dynamic. After the creation of Eve, the Mac-based andoid, the series changed dramatically into a serious action/drama series, and recently became wacky again. A slightly alternate interpretation involves copious amounts of Unreliable Narrator. The squirrel does talk to him, after all. | |

This trope has shown up a couple of times in Full Frontal Nerdity (Frank and Lewis being the two most likely to do so), but as the series focuses mostly on the characters' tabletop gaming habits it's rare. | |

Penny Arcade: The flagship Two Gamers On A Couch series. Gabe and Tycho (who switch between crazy and sane depending on the plot) are the gamers. This series is the most politically active, making massive amounts of cash from their comic and related projects; they run a gaming expo and a children's charity on the back of the comic. They publish Spin-Off comics of their comics, have also produced their own computer game, and have been featured as an expansion of a moderately successful collectible card game. In its later years, Penny Arcade cut out the couch altogether unless the comic actually relates to them playing a game at that moment, and avoids talking heads by having Gabe and Tycho have their game-related conversations while performing some irrelevant Funny Background Event, like picking pumpkins with their kids, eating lunch, emerging from hideous cocoons, carrying out a dead body wrapped in a carpet, or sitting on prison bunks. | |

The pause between Books 9 and 10 of Gunnerkrigg Court was filled with two weeks of Annie and Kat engaged in Anti-Humor about video games under the title Gunnerkrigg Gamerz Timez, ranging from "An opinion about video games structured as a comic strip" to "It Will Never Catch On strips that have been proved wrong by at least a decade". It eventually turns out to be All Just a Dream Kat was having after falling asleep reading webcomics. | |

Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff is ostensibly this, as it started life as a direct parody of a generic Two Gamers On A Couch comic posted on the Penny Arcade forums. In practice, while the theme is still definitely there (as far as anyone can tell), it's not quite as focused on gaming - only a small number of episodes make reference to playing games, and the only time Bro and Jeff are actually seen on a couch playing games quickly descends into... something else. | |

Sabrina Online name drops the trope in the title of its April Fools 2009◊ strip spoofing the concept. The series does play the trope straight though a few times later though (although in true to character fashion the most notable in the post-series story "Skunks Day Out," involves Richard and Warren playing a vintage Atari 2600 console). | |

Ctrl+Alt+Del: Wacky guy Ethan and straight man Lucas are roommates. Zeke the Xbot is their wacky Robot Buddy who wants to Kill All Humans. Lilah is the down-to-earth gamer girlfriend of Ethan. Hilarity Ensues. The first strips actually poked fun at this very trope, and tried really hard to avoid it. Today, it's most infamous for it's memetic failure at drama, "Loss," the strip in which Lilah miscarries Ethan's child, which has since become the internet's favorite tasteless joke though various remixes and references. | |

In El Goonish Shive, the NP stories are starting to show shades of this. One NP storyline was called "Gaming Webcomic", with The Rant for the first strip saying " I was determined to make it so my comic about video games wasn't just two people sitting on a sofa talking bout video game stuff.", and that for the second strip beginning "Oh hey, two characters on a couch talking about video games.

Rob and Elliot: Elliot is the sane/normal school teacher, Rob is the wacky and over-the-top drama queen. Of course, Elliot is only sane in relation to Rob; one arc revolved around his being Not So Above It All when trying to find a new roommate. Doctor Doom(sday) is their megalomaniac next door neighbour, who frequently gets in trouble with the Justice League. It's more like two guys sharing an apartment, as gaming doesn't actually factor into it, but otherwise it fits the trope. | |
