QWOP is a Flash-based Sports Game by foddy in which you must get Qwop to run 100 meters without falling over. Uniquely, you control Qwop's individual thighs and calves. It is much harder than it sounds. It has a two-player sequel named 2QWOP.Despite the game first coming out in 2008, it achieved massive internet popularity and Memetic Mutation in December of 2010 after Ray William Johnson showcased a Let's Play video of it.The success of QWOP has led to several related games by foddy, including Winner vs. Loser which is likewise based on track & field, and GIRP for the idea that controlling basic human motions is difficult. A true successor to QWOP, CLOP, has you controlling a Unicorn with similarly difficult controls. Another, much more notable Spiritual Successor came in the form of Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy, which, in addition to being almost as unforgiving in difficulty as the others, also features Foddy himself the narrator. | |

| QWOP (Video Game) / int_18aff462 | comment |
Artistic License – Biology: Doing hop-splits to get to the goal should logically do awful things to your joints, but hey, seeing a struggling athlete doing everything he can to avoid falling onto his head is the whole point. | |

Gravity Screw | |

Nintendo Hard: No checkpoints. You fail with the slightest brush against the ground, including landing on a knee too hard. It's possible for the game to end just because one of Qwop's hands brushed the ground. | |

Epic Fail | |
| QWOP (Video Game) / int_b4eff8a8 | comment |
Epic Fail: It is possible to walk backwards behind the starting line, not only achieving a negative distance but also slamming into a wall behind you. Assuming you don't fall through the ground. In-universe, Qwop's training program is so woefully underfunded that basic muscle memory apparently doesn't fit on the budget. Let's put it this way: the game congratulates you and calls you a winner for running at all. Even if, as just mentioned, you walk negative meters. If you end up with Qwop balancing on one leg, your best choice is to Rage Quit and just slam his head into the ground to restart. Depending on how exactly he's balancing and your familiarity with which leg moves with which buttons, you may end up failing to do that. | |
