The Guild (Web Video) | comment |
The Guild is an online Vlog Series-style sitcom created by Felicia Day of Dr. Horrible fame (and credited by Joss Whedon as a large inspiration) after a two year addiction to World of Warcraft. Each three to eight minute episode centers on "The Knights of Good", an online guild in an MMORPG similar to World of Warcraft.Recognitions include winning the 2007 Youtube Video Award and the 2008 Yahoo Video award. You can keep up with the series at its official website, watchtheguild.com.A music video called "Do You Wanna Date My Avatar" (the Trope Namer for Date My Avatar) was released to promote the third season. Without trying to top it, they went Bollywood to promote the fourth season, as seen here; it took the top #3 spot in the US iTunes chart and the #1 in the UK on the day of its release. For their fifth season's launch on Youtube, they released "I'm the One that's Cool", here.After the sixth and final season finished, it was announced that the show was spinning off into a Dark Horse Comics series. | |

Punch-Clock Villain: While most of the Axis of Anarchy happily take their villainous personas outside the game with them as they torture the Knights of Good, a few of them are implied to be not so bad outside their feud. Valkyrie in particular seems harmless, and the Scary Black Man "Bruiser"'s demeanor changes into a soft-spoken nice guy as soon as the conflict is resolved. | |

Three Minutes of Writhing: "Do You Wanna Date My Avatar", though it's pretty obviously a parody of this type of thing. That doesn't stop it from being really freaking hot. Felicia Day does a cute, awkward little smile in the very last second of the video that suggests she wasn't quite comfortable with being Ms. Fanservice. | |

Funny Background Event: During the drama between Tink and Bladezz, Vork can be seen in the background stealing everything on the snack table including an entire sheetcake. In "Newbtastic", when the Guild members are gaming, behind Zaboo you can see Riley, in the distance, doing pull-ups. In "The Return", Zaboo's game "Sir Loopalot" makes noises corresponding to the dialogue. The cleaning lady walking in during Codex' vlog post. | |

Unrequited Love Switcheroo: Near the end of season 4, Fawkes, who has spent the entire season telling Codex he doesn't do "dating," approaches Codex for a second chance, which she doesn't give him. Also comes up in Season 5 between Codex and Zaboo, as she's spent four seasons rebuffing his interest in her but suddenly started crushing on him when he made a genuine effort to be her friend. | |

A Darker Me: Online, Bladezz is an obnoxious troll who likes to make perverted comments and act like he's cool and edgy. In person, he's still in high school, can't drive, and gets beat up by his little sister. Though, in a departure from the stereotype you'd expect, he's young and attractive (in a pretty, Hanson-esque way), so much that his mother made him do some embarrassing modeling photos to pay for college. Also Valkyrie, an Axis member, who tries to act tough in an online chat with the Knights of Good only to be interrupted by his boss. Valkyrie tries to defuse his boss's suspicions he was internet surfing, which quickly degenerates into a conversation about how a client's damask came back coral instead of lavender as she'd requested. | |

The Guild (Web Video) / int_38047858 | comment |
Tink seems to have a very small soft spot for Codex, such as when she defends her from Zaboo's mom with "Lay off our healer, she's squishy". She also tried to help Codex land a man in season 2, and even though she claimed it was for her own amusement, she did cancel a date and put a lot of effort into it. Also, her Heel–Face Turn at the end of Season 3. By the end of Season 5, Tink seems to firmly consider Codex a friend (at least by her own standards) after Codex helps Tink (mostly) resolve her issues with her family. | |

Character Development | |

Character Development: All of the main characters, because of their friendships with one another, grow into better, more successful people by the finale: Zaboo's determination to "level up" as a person has actually resulted in his maturing from a Psychopathic Manchild into a relatively well-adjusted man who, seemingly, finds his true love from the game. Codex grows from a shy, mousey loner into a confident and strong woman with a successful career. Bladezz, originally a jerky trickster whose M.O. was screwing with people, becomes a semi-famous meme-level celebrity and forms genuine friendships with his Guildmates. Vork ends up mellowing to a certain degree and falling in love with a celebrity. Clara becomes famous for her blogging, eventually securing herself a paying job doing exactly that. Even Tink mellows considerably and, alongside caring for her Guildmates, she ends up dating a programmer of The Game named Donovan who has fallen for her. Even other characters including Fawkes and Zaboo's mother go through lesser degrees of development over the series. | |

Straw Loser: They all would be if there was anyone cool to compare them to, but they kind of work this way for each other. Zaboo and Vork are so completely off their rockers it makes the rest of the guild look saner. Tink and Bladezz are so mean it makes the others look nicer. Meanwhile, Codex looks pretty good in comparison, and it's less obvious that Clara is an insane Jerkass. Also, the Knights of Good work as this somewhat in relation to the Axis of Anarchy. Kwan makes millions in pro gaming, Bruiser, Venom and Valkyrie all have jobs, and the Axis still has a higher ranking than the Knights, who, with the exception of Tink and Bladezz (who have school), don't have anything else going on in their lives and play the game full time. Starting to change as of Season Five, Vork finds a romantic interest, Codex gets a job, Tink's family appears, Zaboo shows a LOT of emotional maturity, and Bladezz develops a fandom. Clara, however, is still insane. | |

I Know Mortal Kombat: Zaboo weakly suggests this trope might apply when he challenges Wade Wei to a fight, only to find out that Wade is a professional stuntman. Vork immediately shoots him down, pointing out that Zaboo's game character is a Squishy Wizard, and so his game experience doesn't apply to the real world, where casting spells is impossible. | |

And back in Episode 10, Codex decides that the Guild should take on Zaboo's mom on the grounds that "she called me homely." And don't ever call Tink a taint behind her back. Calling her a taint to her face seems to be okay, though. Vork also has a few, including tampering with his network connection and reconfiguring his hotkeys. | |

This is played for comedy despite their relationship being highly abusive and clearly traumatizing to Zaboo, even incorporating Black Comedy Rape. | |

(Whether this is intentional and if so, which is shouting out to which is hard to tell.) This quote: In season 3 episode 10, Reservoir Dogs, with the music, slow-mo walking and spitting. In Season 5, Ep 7, Zaboo says he is off to attend a panel called "Fable: Tickle your way to the Monarchy." | |

Slut-Shaming | |
The Guild (Web Video) / int_c972d624 | comment |
Slut-Shaming: In the second season, Vork shows up out of the blue and asks Codex "Why are you dressed like a harlot?" Then he invades her home and peruses her belongings before randomly turning to her and saying "Cover yourself, woman." At the end of the third season, Codex and Fawkes have sex and she discusses it with the guild at the opening of the fourth. In addition to yelling at her for sleeping with the enemy, they call her a slut and attack her for doing so after one date, although she seems to feel that the shaming is more or less justified. | |

The Guild (Web Video) / int_cad57012 | comment |
Draco in Leather Pants: Wade "Stunt guy" "Guns" Wei happens to be both an in-universe and out-of-universe example. In-universe, despite being a self-obsessed jerk, he manages to come off looking awesome to the Guildies because he's also a real-life badass. After beating the crap out of Zaboo and publicly humiliating Codex, all Zaboo can say is "he's nice" because the guy did motion capture for his favorite game, and was an extra in a B-movie he loved. Then Clara, Codex's friend, makes out with Wade. Out-of-universe, his "leather pants" status has caused a few fans to think he should end up with Codex, despite how nonchalantly he comments that "she's not worth it" with a wink and a smile. | |

Social Services Does Not Exist: Stay-at-home mom Clara generally ignores her children, didn't even notice when her babysitter quit, and at one point hands them off to Tinkerballa who locks them in a pet carrier. Nobody apart from Codex seems particularly horrified by any of this. invoked Also: "Tomorrow, mommy's going to teach you to use the microwave." And "Oh, um, I guess they've been feeding themselves....I guess?" And...honestly, the stuff she does goes above and beyond criminally negligent and into the starkly hilarious. | |

All Girls Want Bad Boys: Played with but ultimately subverted. Season four is all about Codex trying to deal with her one night stand with Fawkes. Despite her misgivings about Fawkes, Codex decides to pursue a relationship with him to save face with the Guild. Since Fawkes isn't interested in actually dating her, he goes along with pretending to date her for the fun and chaos. But when he realizes he really does like Codex, she rejects him for his poor treatment of her and discovers she has a crush on Dogged Nice Guy Zaboo. | |

Old Shame | |
The Guild (Web Video) / int_e6c88e42 | comment |
invoked Season 3 revolves around this happening to Bladezz. Over a feud that began from a video game, the Axis of Anarchy digs up his Old Shame as a model, plants weapons in his locker at school, and has someone sleep with his mom. It was bad enough that it reached the point where he was going to run away from home. Disproportionate Retribution over video games is sadly Truth in Television. | |

The Guild (Web Video) / int_eb8ec7c8 | comment |
They all would be if there was anyone cool to compare them to, but they kind of work this way for each other. Zaboo and Vork are so completely off their rockers it makes the rest of the guild look saner. Tink and Bladezz are so mean it makes the others look nicer. Meanwhile, Codex looks pretty good in comparison, and it's less obvious that Clara is an insane Jerkass. Also, the Knights of Good work as this somewhat in relation to the Axis of Anarchy. Kwan makes millions in pro gaming, Bruiser, Venom and Valkyrie all have jobs, and the Axis still has a higher ranking than the Knights, who, with the exception of Tink and Bladezz (who have school), don't have anything else going on in their lives and play the game full time. | |

Pet the Dog: Bladezz is prone to this, as he has a Big Damn Heroes moment in season 1 and seems to be genuinely trying to bond with the guys in season 2. Tink seems to have a very small soft spot for Codex, such as when she defends her from Zaboo's mom with "Lay off our healer, she's squishy". She also tried to help Codex land a man in season 2, and even though she claimed it was for her own amusement, she did cancel a date and put a lot of effort into it. Also, her Heel–Face Turn at the end of Season 3. By the end of Season 5, Tink seems to firmly consider Codex a friend (at least by her own standards) after Codex helps Tink (mostly) resolve her issues with her family. | |
