Double the Fist is an AFI Award winning Australian TV Series. The show was a self proclaimed mixture of Jackass and The Goodies, combining outrageous stunts with unusual, scripted plots.More specifically, the show followed the adventures of The Fist Team, a group lead by Steve Foxx on a mission to save the world from the growing epidemic of Weakness. Each episode would see the Fist Team tackle a different problem relating to Weakness, whether it be comfort, education, or being a small child. The team consisted of: Steve Fox: the short tempered, super strong leader who yells a lot. Rod Foxx: Steve's younger, sportier brother. Womp: A chubby, child-like ex-wrestler who idolises Steve. Mephisto: An unhinged former security guard. Panda: A panda that often acts as the team's assistant.They spread the word of Fistworthiness, a way of life that crushes Weakness and basically make everyone into a Badass Normal. Whenever a character got a achieved something, they would get awarded Full Fist, failure to do so would award No Fist. Episodes would usually end with someone winning a prize of some sort, usually another Full Fist. Series Two introduces Man of Fist, which is awarded to the most outstanding show of Fist Worthiness per episode.The series was infamously low budget, but managed to get an audience with plentiful special effects and being absolutely bizarre. For example, one episode had a marathon that included such feats as climbing an electric fence, running through traffic, and successfully jumping over a Rift in Time.After it's initial eight episodes, the series took a break for four years before being revived due to support from fans. The second series had significantly increased special effects and a much bigger budget. However, the ongoing story, while well written, divided fans for almost entirely dropping the show's original format, and turning the Fist Team into outright Villain Protagonists. | |

Good Is Not Nice | |
| Double the Fist / int_21f3aa44 | comment |
Good is Not Nice: The Fist Team claim to be a force for good, but throughout the series they kidnap people, hold slaves, kill people, mug people and eventually conquer the world. The Monks of the Fist from Series II seem nice enough (at least compared to Steve), but they still lied to Ballistic Man so he'd waste his life as their guard. | |

Death of a Child: Womp's protege in Fist Makeover is hit by a car and not seen again. A student gets her head pulverised by a lawnmower as punishment for failing a maths quiz in High School Challenge. Lizard men eating babies is a recurring plot point in Local Council. The same episode has a baby bomb. Tara's 'sidekick' form is killed after merrily skipping away into a battlefield. | |

His clone, Blue Womp exaggerates this greatly without quite becoming a Psychopathic Man Child. Best shown when he pulled a prank on Womp when they were locked in a life or death situation. This resulted in Womp shooting at him several times at point blank range; Blue Womp didn't even notice. | |

No Fourth Wall: The show is presented as a Show Within a Show, so Steve will frequently address us and report on the Fist Team's progress. Series Two has this at the start, but the change in format pretty takes away from the Show Within a Show aspect and it is featured less and less. | |

Our Vampires Are Different: Specifically, snarling naked beasts who use their capes to glide. Originally Mephisto was intended to be a vampire. You can still find references to it throughout the series, such as his Batsuit. Had this had happened, their vampires would have also had their own cult, and aids. | |

Insane Troll Logic | |
| Double the Fist / int_c5f0119c | comment |
Insane Troll Logic: Mephisto is prone to this. He believes that athletes are less impressive because they claim to run nine meters, when really they're running ten with the added distance to slow down afterwards. In Fear Factory Rod is the only member of his team left, mostly because his showboating got them all killed. Steve asks if he feels he's let them down. He decides that they let him down by dying. | |

Manchild: Womp is very naive and trusting, easily distracted and so forth. His clone, Blue Womp exaggerates this greatly without quite becoming a Psychopathic Man Child. Best shown when he pulled a prank on Womp when they were locked in a life or death situation. This resulted in Womp shooting at him several times at point blank range; Blue Womp didn't even notice. | |

Jerkass | |
| Double the Fist / int_eb8ec7c8 | comment |
The early series hadn't established Steve as the enormous Jerkass we know him as now, and these occurred a few times: The Fist Team save a forest from loggers. A forest could easily be considered week for representing nature, but Steve genuinely cares about the forest. One could say he's just trying to prove how weak the protesters are, but this is dashed away when the Fist Team (or specifically, Mephisto) happily plants a small tree at the end of the episode. A few times, Steve seemed to genuinely care when someone got killed or hurt, such as Womp in Vertical Challenge. In Episode 7, Steve drives by Rod and reminds him to drink plenty of liquids. | |
