Hyperbole and a Half is a hybrid blog/Journal Comic by Allie Brosh. The journal and its attendant comics detail the life—past and present—of its writer, in a surreal, sketchy style. The humor is random, the stories even more so, and the comics, sketchy as they are, somehow have a distinct appeal.Read it here. Or click the link above. Either works. Also see the wiki here. Allie also created a forum where her readers could gather, though it has spun off into its own community only tangentially related, you can find it here.Brosh also released a book in 2013, entitled Hyperbole and a Half: Unfortunate Situations, Flawed Coping Mechanisms, Mayhem, and Other Things That Happened. A sequel, Solutions and Other Problems, released September 2020.The blog went on hiatus starting late 2013, though in 2015 Allie appeared on an episode of the YouTube Geek & Sundry series Spellslingers, where she showed her geek cred by coming within just a few HP of defeating host Sean Plott in a game of Magic: The Gathering. The hiatus was broken on September 2020, when she announced that she had completed her second book and that it was available for sale. It remains to be seen if more, regular entries will follow. | |

Sugar Causes Hyperactivity | |
| Hyperbole and a Half (Webcomic) / int_10e49640 | comment |
Sugar Causes Hyperactivity: In "Menace", Allie swipes at her classmates and draws on the walls in a power high after getting a dinosaur costume for Halloween. Her teacher assumes it's due to the holiday candy consumption, leading Allie's parents to forbid her candy. Unfortunately, Allie then rebels by eating sugar anyway, perpetuating the misunderstanding. | |

Older Than They Look: In Texas, Allie tried to buy beer to celebrate for her 21st birthday, but the gas station refused to sell to her even with an ID because she "looked like a goddamn 16-year old." Eventually, one of her friends had to buy booze for her - a younger friend, with a fake ID. | |

Apologetic Attacker: In "How a Fish Nearly Destroyed my Childhood", Allie sees the fish she brought home flopping about after all the water drained out of its pond. After an attempt to rehydrate it, she decides she needs to put it out of its misery. Unfortunately, she's only seven and not strong enough to chop off the fish's head in one clean strike, leaving her hacking at it and screaming apologies before eventually running inside to get her dad. | |

I'm Crying, but I Don't Know Why | |
| Hyperbole and a Half (Webcomic) / int_348c243 | comment |
I'm Crying, but I Don't Know Why: In her depressionblogging, she describes one of the effects of antidepressants as this trope — she rediscovered the emotion of "crying", not to be confused with "sadness", because crying doesn't really have a reason and just kinda happens. | |

False Cause | |
| Hyperbole and a Half (Webcomic) / int_365ea0ab | comment |
False Cause: In "Menace", Allie gets a dinosaur costume one Halloween and hits a power high, causing her to swing at her classmates and draw on the wall. Her teacher attributed it to the candy, causing Allie's parents to forbid her any more sugar. Allie eats sugar to prove her powerfulness, further convincing her parents that sugar affects her badly. It takes a while for them to realize the actual cause. | |

Stalker without a Crush | |
| Hyperbole and a Half (Webcomic) / int_3b4185fb | comment |
Stalker Without A Crush: Three-year-old Allie becomes obsessed with her adult neighbor, Richard, because he's the first human she's seen that doesn't live in her house. She spies on him and even steals his things (and leaves some of her own), but it's more a weird fascination than a relationship. | |

Allie's little sister's relationship with her best friend Becky seems to consist of nothing but finding increasingly weird, sadistic ways to torment one another, like the time the little sister duct-taped Becky to an office chair, wrapped a blanket around her head, scribbled on her arms with a ballpoint pen, then forced her to stick her hands in a bowl of raw eggs while screaming, "FEEL THEM, BECKY! DO YOU LIKE THEM?!" Allie never gets context for why this is happening. | |

She agrees to Allie's next plea to go to the party.. | |

| Hyperbole and a Half (Webcomic) / int_7e38c1a7 | comment |
Her Code Name Was "Mary Sue": Solutions and Other Problems has a segment in which Allie tells the reader all her magnificent daydreams (riding dragons, winning contests, defeating haters). She admits that they're absolutely ridiculous. However, given that her dreams are probably difficult to impossible in real life and that she wouldn't receive the validation she seeks even if she accomplished them, she keeps fantasizing. | |

Realistic Species, Cartoony Species | |

Realistic Species, Cartoony Species: None of the pictures are drawn completely realistically, but the animals (usually dogs) have a tendency to be drawn with more complexity than the humans, who can look like they were drawn by a five-year-old. | |

Subbing for Santa: In "The Year the Easter Bunny Died", Allie bursts out of the house early in the morning to capture the Easter Bunny and she spots her mother putting out eggs while wearing rabbit ears. For some reason, she concluded her mother had killed the Easter Bunny and made a headband with his ears. Allie's mother tries to tell her she was just helping the Easter Bunny, who was sick today. However, Allie won't believe her. | |

Mistaken for Pedophile: When three-year-old Allie casually mentions that she's been "hanging out" with their neighbor Richard, her parents can't imagine any scenario in which a three-year-old can "hang out" with an adult male neighbor other than he's a predator, leading to a very tense confrontation with the neighbor, who is only marginally aware that they even have a kid. Turns out Allie's been breaking into Richard's house without his knowledge via the cat door. | |

He hears twigs snapping and growling sounds in the shadows, but sees nothing. Allie hypothesizes that the anticipation of the attack was almost worse than being attacked. | |

Mad at a Dream | |
| Hyperbole and a Half (Webcomic) / int_d011a8a0 | comment |
Mad at a Dream: In one early post, Allie tells about being angry at her boyfriend after having a dream that he killed her pet unicorn, Phineus. She admits it doesn't make sense, but she still feels mad and asks him why he did it. Her boyfriend understandably isn't sure how to handle the situation. | |

No Periods, Period | |
| Hyperbole and a Half (Webcomic) / int_d0bf8a6d | comment |
No Periods, Period: Averted; Allie wrote one post about getting her first period, which she did not only before any of her friends, but before her mother had even thought to tell her about menstruation. That in itself would be bad enough, but her mother organized a 'moon time' party with the mothers of all Allie's girlfriends, and all of her friends found out about it because one mother hung the invitation card up on her refrigerator. She also wrote another post about having extremely painful periods (caused in part by severe endometriosis) and she actually threatened her uterus in the post, saying she could make sure it would "not come into contact with so much as a single drop of semen for the rest of your natural life." | |

Hunting the Most Dangerous Game | |
| Hyperbole and a Half (Webcomic) / int_d2566b32 | comment |
Hunting the Most Dangerous Game: Poor Benny... apparently, when six year old Allie and her friends play "Wolf Pack", they take it rather seriously. Benny, a thirteen-year-old who agreed to play with them, ends up getting dragged to the ground and bitten, more than once. | |

Implausible Deniability | |
| Hyperbole and a Half (Webcomic) / int_d34cbda2 | comment |
Implausible Deniability: Allie lists two ways the Simple Dog and the Helper Dog try to trick her, which are impossibly stupid. One is denying that they tore up a piece of clothing with the remnants all over their faces, and the other is pretending she hasn't fed them after quickly eating all the food she just gave them. | |

Cloud Cuckoolander: The Simple Dog, who apparently cannot understand any words and thinks of shapes regularly, among other things. Child Allie as well, if her stories are even half-true. | |

Make a Wish | |
| Hyperbole and a Half (Webcomic) / int_e1ec1b15 | comment |
Make a Wish: One post tells about Allie seeing a shooting star and making an off-the-cuff wish for her life to be awesome. She then spends some time kicking herself over how easily that could be twisted into something horrible, before she realizes that she's fretting whether some being that may or may not exist might twist her wish. | |

The Ditz: Simple Dog. Yes, even for dog standards. In one entry, Allie gives her a dog intelligence test and she lands in the lowest category, even with Allie dropping hints and assuming the best of her "performance" all the way. | |

Foul Waterfowl: One story tells about Allie and Boyfriend having to deal with an aggressive goose that has invaded the house. They eventually manage to trap it and carry it to the pond outside town, where Allie imagines it lurks around, terrifying the other birds and waiting for its next victim. | |

Mercy Kill: "How A Fish Almost Destroyed My Childhood". Allie accidentally leaves a pet fish out of water. After failing to rehydrate it, she decides to end its misery with a knife. It goes wrong when she can't quite cut its head off. Horribly, hilariously wrong. | |

Creepy Child | |
| Hyperbole and a Half (Webcomic) / int_f3d5d15f | comment |
Creepy Child: Young Allie comes across as one remarkably often. Lampshaded in the first segment of the book, where Allie writes a letter to her five-year-old self, listing several disturbing things she's done that ordinary kids don't do and asks her to stop as it's rattling their mother. "Wolves" features not just her but her entire group of friends acting creepy as they pursue poor Benny, who agreed to play "Wolves" with them... In "Richard" (from Solutions and Other Problems), Allie narrates her three-year-old self's obsession with their neighbor Richard, which eventually escalated to sneaking into his house via the cat flap. | |

Sinister Scraping Sound: While she and Boyfriend are watching a horror film, Allie hears a sound which resembles metal grinding against metal. Initially, she's relieved when she finds it's only a honking goose, but then she remembers how aggressive geese are. Things go downhill from there. | |
