Created as an entry for a webcomic contest in 2010 for The Escapist, Manly Guys Doing Manly Things (MGDMT) is a comic about a temp agency to help "ludicrously macho guys" find work in the real world when they no longer have work as popular fiction characters. How well they actually integrate has... mixed results.Sadly, the comic lost out the contest, but was by far a favorite among those paying attention to the contest, making it popular enough for its creator, Coelasquid, to keep it going. The series carried on, on a fairly punctual weekly basis, for years, until Coelasquid went on an indefinite hiatus.It can be beheld here in all its manly glory. note A backup can be found here. |

Goggles Do Nothing |
| | Manly Guys Doing Manly Things (Webcomic) / int_12de0775 |
comment |
Goggles Do Nothing: Lampshaded, when Commander Badass wears sunglasses and then puts his goggles over them. This comic shows Commander Badass wearing them while burning down a shed, and claims in the panel after they enhance his night vision. But, being him, who knows? Word of God invoked says that they do all kinds of things, just not protect the eyes. (Or at least not very well) During the Nomura incident, we learn that if the goggles are outrageously shaped enough, they can double as a slashing weapon. |

No Backwards Compatibility in the Future: Conversed. Another character suggests that, since the Commander is from the future he must be able to fix a modern-day computer like it's nothing. He responds by pulling out a broken abacus and demanding that the other character fix it for him. He later reveals he carries that broken abacus around everywhere he goes specifically because this conversation happens to him so often. |

Tempting Fate: In the plotline that deals with the aftermath of Nomura Syndrome, the Commander decides that he wants to punch his commanding officer in the face over the whole thing. Said commanding officer is about to tell him off, starting with "We can all surmise how that would end for you..." when it appears that not everyone thinks the request is unreasonable. |

Memetic Badass |
| | Manly Guys Doing Manly Things (Webcomic) / int_185f3995 |
comment |
A mild one at Chuck Norris, since Coelasquid believes Marlon Brandon would make a much better Memetic Badass. invoked Chuck first appeared in a guest comic... in his real life, 74-year-old form, and was understandably terrified by Mr. Fish. He later showed up complaining about the "liberal agenda" to an unsympathetic Commander. |

The Virus: Nomura Syndrome. Patient zero was Nier. There's also an inverse version of this that Ryu of Breath of Fire II suffers from, as well as a poison that turns Walter into a pony. Volt was also born with this since his mother read too many yaoi fanfics while she was pregnant with him. He takes it as a challenge. |

Can't Take Anything with You |
| | Manly Guys Doing Manly Things (Webcomic) / int_207c3447 |

Can't Take Anything with You: Discussed. Apparently, early on, it was true, until Commander noted that his body hair didn't disappear in time travel. Upon the Commander's squad hearing that animal hair could pass through, they demand clothes at the very least. The scientists, annoyed, make them wear whole-body Christmas sweaters made of wool. |

Unusual Hiring Practices: Seems to hire people for, among other things, their pectoral girth. The only person who has avoided this so far is Jared, by virtue of the Commander's interest in his story and making Pokemon battles interesting to watch. |

Only Sane Man: Usually, the Commander. There's a reason why he's able to reign in all the psychos and badasses of the Temp Agency (aside from his own combat skill, of course)... Jared, in comparison to other people in his homeland. When with his team, Commander, a.k.a. Rock Lobster chills out and is more likely to get into crazy trouble. Ace or Angel typically becomes the sane one in these situations (mostly Angel because Ace is plenty melodramatic in his own right, and Angel's better at rolling with the crazy). As Jonesy puts it in a shocked epiphany... |

Time Traveler's Dinosaur: Jet, a time-traveling Super-Soldier, has a flock of very fluffy pet velociraptors. Though they're as genetically engineered as their owner, apparently the wild-types are untrainable. |

Rule of Cool |
| | Manly Guys Doing Manly Things (Webcomic) / int_36e63b81 |
comment |
It's also often averted to show when following Rule of Cool may not be the best option- for example, when told that his family was alive (despite being told that they were dead for two years), instead of going berserk at the military-industrial complex, the Commander asks for a therapist and a lawyer. The fact that he's now working at the agency and that he and his siblings no longer have to fear being turned into cyborgs or get psychologically manipulated prove that he made the right move. |

Stable Time Loop |
| | Manly Guys Doing Manly Things (Webcomic) / int_37690091 |
comment |
Stable Time Loop: The Commander is attacked by himself while he's having coffee. His future self steals his coffee, then disappears. The Commander then proceeds to travel back in time to beat himself up and get his coffee back... Which means he beat himself up for no reason. Although since the comic is titled "We all peacock in our own way," it's pretty obvious why he did it: he was trying to impress Jonesy. That and keeping himself on his toes ("Watch your back and maybe this won't happen, candy-ass!"). |

Poe's Law: The very first question on the comic's About page is about which game Commander Badass is from. Despite being a blatant parody of this style of character, it's still easy to mistake him for the genuine article, noting particular similarities to characters like Jack and Simon Belmont. |

Boring, but Practical: Hanzo pulls this off here. How did he kill his brother? Some ancient sword move? Some dragon-based technique? How did Genji get so badly hurt that most of his body was cybernetics? Simple: he removed the batteries in his brother's carbon monoxide detector. The cybernetics were something that Genji did himself, Hanzo had nothing to do with it. |

Most Writers Are Male: A meta-example, as most users on the site debate back and forth as to Coelasquid's gender. The response is, "Why does it matter?"note For those who will die of a spontaneous heart attack if they can't know for sure, the answer is "female, now get on with your life, for crying out loud." |

Noodle Incident: Roombas, lolcats, and frozen yogurt can't be kept around Kratos. Nor can corn flakes. When the Commander tells Jared the story of how he finally got six-pack abs, he mentions off-hand getting captured and put to work rowing on a Viking slave galleon. Apparently this happened multiple times. |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome |
| | Manly Guys Doing Manly Things (Webcomic) / int_3ed23024 |
comment |
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Beating up the one who caused your disease will not cure it. The commander crying when told his whole family was dead rather than bottling up his emotions to become a dark and brooding avenger like they wanted. When his superior berates him for this, he gets offended and demands a lawyer. The initial premise of the series as a whole. Overly masculine testosterone junkies finding difficulties living in a world where not everything is trying to kill them all the time. The Commander is facing off with Tank, a super-cyborg with extremely volitile emotions created to be a berserker. Jonesy thinks he'll be trying to fight him man-to-man, but the Commander points out that the man is extremely emotionally unstable, not to mention very strong. Antagonizing such people never ends well. When they do meet, the Commander is extremely patient, and tries talking Tank down from his rage. When that fails, the Commander retreats to water. Tank's machine components are not waterproof, and he's very heavy. At one point, the Commander lends Jared his car so he can do some errands while looking after his kids. Jared freaks out, worried about what might happen to the car with him driving it... only for the Commander to point out that more importantly, he's asking Jared to look after his children. Jet's brightly feathered, toothy turkeys resemble actual velociraptors far more than the kill machines from Jurassic Park. That said, they're only tame because they were specifically bred to be, non-modified raptors shown later are depicted as being as aggressive as any wild animal would be. |

Commander Badass's original off-the-cuff joke that he and his fellow generic-space-future soldiers are "cloned from American soil and steak" turns out to make light of a rather grim future in which artificially created soldiers are custom-built to sell "War Is Glorious" propaganda and fight pointless wars against enemies whose only offense is to look evil. It's all a way to keep generic-space-future recruitment high and prevent generic-space-future military budgets from being slashed. |

Author Tract: A couple. The idea that real manliness is being a good man on the inside, and that "manly man" and "loud obnoxious jackass" are not the same thing. Coelasquid also hates both the bishification of characters and the flipside of the trope.note This was inspired by three things: One was the fact that the Japanese version of NieR starred a teenage protagonist instead of a middle aged one to appeal to the bishounen-loving demographic, which she thought was insulting and made the story weaker. The second was going through a collection of fan art portraying bishified characters being out-of-character. The third was how she thought the North American cover art for Breath of Fire II was terrible by making its teenage protagonist into a musclebound steroid abuser. |

The Swear Jar: Not for swearing, but for saying the word "Epic". According to that strip's description, there are separate jars for saying "WIN" and "FAIL" as well. Commander's not a big fan of Internet slang. Amusingly, it's almost set up as an actual swear jar (Jared swears in the same sentence he uses "epic"), but then it turns out to be the Epic Jar. Commander later uses the cash to get Jared a new 360. |

Fantastic Racism |
| | Manly Guys Doing Manly Things (Webcomic) / int_57b80b45 |
comment |
Fantastic Racism: Link tells Ganondorf that all Gerudo are dirty thieves. Okay, most of them are, but Link called him that after smashing Ganondorf's flowerpots in search of rupees. Then there's the Enfant Terrible Princess Zelda and her father. Solas goes on an extended rant about how the Qunari are savages that are only kept in-check by their totalitarian faith... right before telling Stan the Inquisitor that he respects him. Stan isn't sure how to take the compliment. Coelasquid's (Dalish) Warden is apparently a racist, but that doesn't stop him from sleeping with everything. The Commander's sister Angel is a little annoyed that Jonesy said they're "not real people" after finding out they're clones, but when Jonesy leaves she tells her she's pleased she only said it once, which is a lot better then they expected. |

Gameplay and Story Segregation: Lampshaded at one point when Mr. Fish, who is drawn to be the size of Gyarados as seen in the Pokémon anime, is fighting against a Gyarados shown as the size it's described in the games. Mr. Fish is somewhere between twice and three times his opponent's size. Jared claims it's because he feeds Mr. Fish... well, anything that isn't nailed down or on fire, to be honest, while Lysandre just feeds his Gyarados Poképuffs (AKA Cookies). |

comment |
Grievous Harm with a Body: Mr. Fish's (or rather, Jared's) primary attack before Mr. Fish evolved from Magikarp to Gyarados. Now that he's too big to be swung as a blunt weapon, Mr. Fish mostly just eats his enemies. Stan the Inquisitor decides to recruit Movran the Under, the goat-chucking Avvar chieftain to his party so that he can toss goats at dragons. When that doesn't work, he has Dagna magically enchant the goats with elemental damage. |

Hair-Trigger Temper: A few cases, but none so blatant as Kratos. The Commander keeps an ever-dwindling list of things that won't set Kratos off, even Wolverine snarks about the likelihood of Kratos flipping out, and one comic even uses it as a joke when Kratos just calmly walks away instead of going on a rampage. However, after growing out his beard, he becomes a much calmer and even-tempered person. |

Author Appeal: While the comic exists mostly to mock over-the-top "macho" characters, Coelasquid has said that she likes drawing this body type. Coelasquid doesn't care much for Chuck Norris jokes, but LOVES Marlon Brando. If you follow her Tumblr, you can see that many MGDMT strips are based around whatever Coelasquid was playing/watching/reading that week. Pigeons. She's a big fan of Ganondorf, which may be why he (and Link) are just about the only recurring non-original character who aren't from an FPS, WRPG, action movie, fighting game or comic book. Overwatch in more recent strips. |

Goofy Feathered Dinosaur: The trained velociraptors are chubby-cheeked, tropical-coloured, fluffy, and friendly. Justified in that it was a side effect of the genetic engineering and breeding that made them trainable, while the unmodified velociraptors had sleeker plumage. |

Real Men Wear Pink |
| | Manly Guys Doing Manly Things (Webcomic) / int_7a3dd888 |
comment |
Real Men Wear Pink: More like real men aren't assholes, but the principle is the same. Kilts are the manliest way to be pantsless. Turns out that the Commander watches Jem and the Holograms, Care Bears, and My Little Pony with his daughter, and has developed strong opinions about the characters and their relationships. Raiden gets his hair done, mostly because it's his last original part. Ganondorf also gets his hair done - in ways that the Commander didn't know were possible -, because he has so many sisters, you wouldn't believe. The Alt Text notes that as father to a young girl, Commander Badass has his own interest in hair care. Tank's also taken up cooking as a way to relax— not that he can eat it himself, he's hardwired to only be able to eat steak and nutrient goo— but the other recruits appreciate the banana bread, and it helps him bond with them. |

Then again, they consider Jared a genius for figuring out that animals like to be petted and fed more food than cookies, so their standard of intellect is... skewed. |

Our Mermaids Are Different: Mermaids in this universe look like ugly, mutant manatees, prompting Jared to ask what's wrong with them. The commander points out that (in this universe) mermaids are frequently mistaken for manatees and Kratos implies the myth they look like pretty ladies is because of sailors desperate for a woman after months at sea. |

Artistic License – Animal Care: In-Universe: Jared becomes a Pokémon Professor for his shocking new discoveries that a) animals like it when you pet them, groom them, and feed them treats, and b) Gyarados is carnivorous and should not be raised on a sweets-only diet. Oddly enough, while Jared is good at taking care of animals, he knows very little about Pokemon in general. For example when given a free Pokemon he opens the pokeball by breaking it, and is surprised when the Gengar inside runs away. |

Behavioral Conditioning: The Commander, his siblings, and the other future Supersoldiers all received this to fill certain stereotypes (i.e. Ace being a suave superspy with a British accent). The Commander himself was meant to be conditioned to become a rogue agent (like Batman!), but to his handlers' horror, instead became a well adjusted member of society. |

Cerebus Retcon: Commander Badass's original off-the-cuff joke that he and his fellow generic-space-future soldiers are "cloned from American soil and steak" turns out to make light of a rather grim future in which artificially created soldiers are custom-built to sell "War Is Glorious" propaganda and fight pointless wars against enemies whose only offense is to look evil. It's all a way to keep generic-space-future recruitment high and prevent generic-space-future military budgets from being slashed. The "explosion picture" becomes a bit less funny once you realize that they may have done that for just such reasons. |

Throw the Dog a Bone |
| | Manly Guys Doing Manly Things (Webcomic) / int_98576799 |
comment |
Throw the Dog a Bone: Marv is the only one enthusiastic about being a bishonen. But then again, he had the luck to turn into a more muscular Marlon Brando whereas everyone else turned into overly feminine pretty-boys. Commander Badass is much more concerned with Jared's well-being, and tolerant of his Cloud Cuckoolander tendencies, than Jared's own parents appear to have been. |

Min-Maxing: Played with, when Jared plays Pathfinder for the first time, he proves to be an immediate natural. However, he's using this to maximize the efficiency of a very poorly designed race/class combo (an elephant centaur rogue). Riddick is less than amused, while the Commander thinks it's hilarious. |

Cyborg: The Commander's superiors would "improve" him and his siblings while they were getting "routine" surgery after being wounded in battle mainly because it's cool and makes the soldiers more marketable; others would voluntarily get implants to the point of RoboCop-ization because "they're addictive" (though apparently not soul-eating). |

American Kirby Is Hardcore |
| | Manly Guys Doing Manly Things (Webcomic) / int_9d09bf1a |
comment |
Coelasquid also hates both the bishification of characters and the flipside of the trope.note This was inspired by three things: One was the fact that the Japanese version of NieR starred a teenage protagonist instead of a middle aged one to appeal to the bishounen-loving demographic, which she thought was insulting and made the story weaker. The second was going through a collection of fan art portraying bishified characters being out-of-character. The third was how she thought the North American cover art for Breath of Fire II was terrible by making its teenage protagonist into a musclebound steroid abuser. |

Amicable Exes Commander gets along reasonably well with his ex-wife Maddy. They seem to have zero custody friction of their kids and the Commander always speaks well of her to other people. They even had a barbecue together. (He also thinks she'd be flattered that his squad kept one of their ships decorated with nose art of her; "just because we're divorced doesn't mean she isn't beautiful...") Commander is also still generally on good terms with both Spider and Tank (both of whom are his exes), which is quite impressive considering that Spider is a full-body cyborg and Tank's sister, and Tank is... well, Tank. |

Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Jared. He's irresponsible, overly childish, and has a ridiculously short attention span. He is, however, an incredibly competent trainer, taking excellent care of Mr. Fish and able to capture hundreds of Magnemites and Magnetons without any pokeballs, and has earned the respect of the Manly Men around him by developing into a respectable PA in spite of his lack of manliness. Just how good is he at taking care of Mr. Fish? Mr. Fish is twice the size of the Gyarados that Lysandre brought with him! Lysandre even states that he never saw one that big before. The Commander expresses genuine concern that Jared could become a supervillain without proper guidance in this strip. And just to remind everyone, during the brief period where the Commander was in the future Jared started a cult. |

Take That! |
| | Manly Guys Doing Manly Things (Webcomic) / int_b53077b3 |
comment |
Take That!: Against bishounen boys, and the fans that keep suggesting they appear. Best. Spite comic. Ever. In the commentary, the author notes that the entire comic is also one to overly manly characters that their creators think are badass, but aren't, and that fans who insisted on the bishonen are missing the point. It got to the point where it turned into an entire story arc about a bishonen virus turning men into wimps. Look, anyone who watches as much Doctor Who as you do gotta know that technology more 're less runs on bullshit. Coelasquid was not amused by Lobo's new design not in the least. A mild one at Chuck Norris, since Coelasquid believes Marlon Brandon would make a much better Memetic Badass. invoked Chuck first appeared in a guest comic... in his real life, 74-year-old form, and was understandably terrified by Mr. Fish. He later showed up complaining about the "liberal agenda" to an unsympathetic Commander. Word of God invoked states that this comic is one for Mars Needs Moms. Another one against Hank Hill, when the Commander's sister compares the two: Against how poorly the military treats veterans in real life after the Bishounen virus debacle: Though the Commander's bosses are aware of how bad treat him if not for the right reasons: |

"Stop Having Fun" Guys: In-Universe, Jared's parents consider Pokémon training such Serious Business that they yell at him for being proud of his Gyarados, because Gyarados has a 4x weakness to Electric-type attacks. Keep in mind that Gyarados has been considered a top-tier 'mon since the very first generation, so even the other "Stop Having Fun" Guys would see this as unnecessarily harsh criticism. |

Double Standard: Duke Nukem (of all people) has a problem with it when he's not allowed to play "Capture The Babe" (here).

The Commander shows that there isn't really a double standard when dressing Fenix up as the Babe would cause people to complain as well (namely, Fenix himself). |

Berserk Button: Commander Badass worships Marlon Brando. No, we mean literally worships Marlon Brando. Do not mention Chuck Norris in his earshot. The Commander is extremely proud of his charcoal and wood barbequing abilities. Don't imply he uses propane. There's a very short list of things they can have around Kratos, and half of the things on it have been scratched off. This includes, but is not limited to: Roombas, LOLCats, frozen yogurt, and in one memorable instance, bubble tea. |

Why Don't You Just Shoot Him? |

Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?: Averted by Commander Badass gunning down a Slime rather than turn based battling it. And against the Frankenstienish mess of Simon Belmont and Light Yagami. |

Compliment Backfire: Invoked when Ganondorf tells Little Mac that he fights like a woman ... thing is he is the King of the Gerudo, an Amazon Brigade race, so he meant it as a compliment. Turns out Little Mac wasn't actually insulted by the compliment (he probably didn't even think about it or hear it), and in fact is more confused when Ganondorf tries to explain that he actually holds women in high regard. |

Dude Looks Like a Lady: The bishonen versions of Sten, Ganondorf, and Sandor Clegane are very effeminate and almost appear to be dressed in drag. Pyramid Head is in drag, dressed in a sailor fuku. Kratos is so androgynous, that he hides his nipples with his arm to be safe. |

Hitler's Time Travel Exemption Act |

Hitler's Time Travel Exemption Act: Commander Badass is actually a member of the Navy TIALS (TIme Air Land Sea), an elite group of time travelers founded in the future to hop through time righting wrongs, some of which aren't righted, for whatever reason. While they haven't done anything to Hitler (besides punching him in the face), Commander Badass was once sent to Vietnam twice. Once to try and win it for America, and a second time to stop himself from succeeding, because a world without the Rambo movies is just too bizarre to contemplate. |

Nose Art: The Commander's ex-wife is a pinup girl on his old ship. When asked if they should change it, he refused, saying that just cause they divorced doesn't mean she isn't hot, and besides, she'd be flattered by it. Word of God invoked confirms that yes, she is...especially since the art outlasted his command of the ship. |

Inelegant Blubbering: The commander does this as a very realistic response to being told by his commanding officer that all his siblings were dead, and requests a therapist to help him cope. The commanding officer berates him for not bottling his emotions up and becoming a brooding anti-hero like Batman. The author has said in the commentary for this page that she considers characters who show and deal with their emotions more badass than those that bottle them up and try to look cool. |

Bishōnen Line: Gackt's ultimate form is a massive tentacled winged bloated monstrosity. His ULTIMATE Ultimate form is colorful and winged, but still distinctly humanoid. |

Watch the Paint Job: When Jared parked the Commander's car after using it to pick up his kids, he accidentally backs into a wall and dents it. The Commander's okay with it though, noting it's an easy fix and the fun's kind of gone if you finish a project car, so you might as well lend it to a teenager once in a while to create a bit more work. |

Big Creepy-Crawlies: Commander Badass spent "two tours 'a duty on th' Millipede Planet in millipede season". Where being surrounded and often covered by literally thousands of millipedes a day left him with a phobia of millipedes. |

Outclassed at the Gym: When Jared decides to work out for the first time, he goes straight to the Commander, a "300lb juggernaut" Super-Soldier, for tips. He gets some sound advice on setting reasonable expectations and avoiding Testosterone Poisoning, even though their weightlifting routines are a few orders of magnitude apart. |

Mundane Utility: The power of time-travel is great for getting yourself a cup of coffee. It's also handy when you owe somebody a mammoth steak. And as it turns out, Kenshiro can immediately satisfy a person's hunger by punching them a lot. Pacific Rim's Neural Bridge is also useful for getting high scores on Portal 2 co-op mode. |

Dumbass Has a Point |
| | Manly Guys Doing Manly Things (Webcomic) / int_f360fc33 |
comment |
Dumbass Has a Point: Commander Badass admits that a Room Filled with Bubbles does sound pretty fun. Jared (to Lysandre when he compliments Jared on making "groundbreaking discoveries" about Pokemon affection and companionship): "Wait, you mean you just figured out that animals like it when you pet them and give them treats? Who gave you your science license?" Later, he's the only one who picks up on the fact that Lysandre's talk of "cleans[ing] the world of this filth" sounds just a bit villainous. Jared may not be the best pokemon trainer, but when he meets Lysandre, Mr. Fish is MUCH larger than Lysandre's Gyarados, to the point Mr. Fish could swallow Lysandre's Gyarados WHOLE. Because Jared feeds him a somewhat more balanced diet (pretty much everything Jared deems to be food). Lysandre feeds his Pokepuffs, which are basically macarons. note Coelasquid mentions this is because she drew Lysandre's Gyarados at the size stated in the pokedex, while she drew Mr. Fish at the size shown in the anime, which is much larger. |

Comically Missing the Point: Jared's specialty. One example was his disbelief that Commander would actually trust Jared with his car in order to pick up Commander's kids. Commander pointed out that it was a bit more significant that he was entrusting Jared with his kids in the first place. |

Brick Joke |

comment |
Brick Joke: Spartan Gay Chicken. "Consensus on the debut of this game was that Spartan Gay Chicken ends in a 30 year committed relationship complete with bickering over when to open a joint bank account and where to place the ottoman." And... Looks like the Commander made good on the mammoth he promised Jonesy. The Commander finally getting Jared an Xbox 360. And not long after, "ecksbawks reprise", using an Ironic Echo of one of Jared's first lines. The B stands for B52 When Jet is first seen riding his minibike while running his pet raptors, Commander suggests that Jet might be acclimating them to it so he can teach them to ride minibikes. Angel says she's in no way prepared for that. Several comics later, Commander was right and while Angel's base isn't the one Jet is after, she says they'll figure out what to do when they catch up with Jet. |
