| Nip and Tuck (Webcomic) | comment |
Nip and Tuck is one of Ralph Hayes, Jr.'s webcomics (Goblin Hollow and Tales of the Questor are among his others).The main focus is on Nip and Tuck Todd, two fox brothers of the somewhat loopy Malarky County, located somewhere (judging by the cast's accents) in the southern USA. Throughout the series, the brothers get mixed up in various hijinx, including babysitting a pair of rival budding evil geniuses, accidentally entering Tuck's girlfriend into a porno photoshoot, helping a rookie journalist try to prove the existence of the local lake monster to the world, training a junior boxer to fight the town bully, and even MST-ing Nip's movies.The strip has started up again after a long period of hiatus (with a cameo from the characters in Goblin Hollow at one point), but the storyline regarding the financial problems of the Purloined Letters Studio has been put on hold for the time being. The first ones are also collected in three volumes.Not related to Nip/Tuck. | |

Fangirl: A canine teen has been awfully keen on Nip since he got into the movie business. Earlier Charlie Bengal had a fan girl who joined in Nip's revenge scheme after he told her to shove off. She partly reenacted Misery. | |

| Nip and Tuck (Webcomic) / int_161f1ebf | comment |
Relationship Upgrade: Thelma and Tuck go from "swooning girl, rejecting guy" to the Official Couple in strip #204, after The Big Damn Kiss in strip #199. Then repeated again when they get married in strip #907, with Nip and Zelda getting their own Relationship Upgrade from "dating" to "engaged" (married offscreen) in the very next strip. | |

Alcohol-Induced Idiocy | |
| Nip and Tuck (Webcomic) / int_16ddefda | comment |
Alcohol-Induced Idiocy: A variant; in strip #752, Hortense apologizes for her wildly unusual behavior, in particular snatching Thelma's bathrobe away to force the possum into showing up her new bikini for Tuck, by explaining that the intense heat of the tropical Caribbean sun is so different to what she's used to in Malarkey that she was effectively drunk. | |

Imagine the Audience Naked: Subverted when Zelda Porcupine is having to face Nip as her interviewee... And ends up getting an eyeful of Nip (complete with Bishie Sparkle) at the Pool Scene! Not that she's complaining about the sight of him in his swimwear, mind you... For Zelda, this was a true Mr. Fanservice moment. | |

Screwed by the Lawyers | |
| Nip and Tuck (Webcomic) / int_20bbba83 | comment |
Screwed by the Lawyers: In-universe with the Michael Moby arc. Nip was having some objections with the script that was given. The pot-bellied, potty-mouthed producer calls in his lawyer, Willard, a pine marten, who makes it quite clear that he will eagerly carry out Moby's plans to sue Nip's family into poverty if Nip tries to walk out of Moby's anti-The War on Terror movie. Then zigzagged when, after Moby gets his long due comeuppance, faces THE STUDIO'S LAWYERS. | |

Black Comedy: In strip #645, a Jewish rabbi jokes that he likes to read the virulently anti-Jewish Arabian newspaper "Al Jazeera" because every other page talks about how the Jews are rich, powerful, and secretly rule the world — he finds it so hilarious that it puts him in a good mood all day. | |

Brutal Honesty: After Nip brings up his woes about his dating life in strip #776-768, Tuck points out that Nip's main problem may be the fact that he's a natural risk taker who likes to do stupid stuff for kicks and then made a career out of it, which understandably tends to intimidate women. | |

Camp Straight: Skippy, the lion hairdresser from The Funday Pawpet Show, is a flamboyant and at least mildly campy individual. He's also happily married to an enormous and very female gorilla, which comes as quite a surprise to Thelma. An annotation from the author on his introduction notes that this is a trait Skippy has in his native webshow, along with getting very angry when people insinuate that he's gay. | |

Even Evil Has Standards: During the opening stages of his plan to get back to Charlie, the resident Jerkass at stunt school, Nip asks Charlie about the girl who she thinks had sex with her whilst she was passed out drunk. Charlie reveals he took her home when she was absolutely plastered, and then when she fell asleep on the toilet, he put her in his bed and spent the night in the bathtub. He never laid a hand on her sexually... he just couldn't resist teasing her after she ran out the next morning rather than talk to him, leaving her panties behind in her hurry. | |

Invoked in strip #469, when Hortense privately whispers to Thelma that she can't turn away someone as lonely and pathetic-looking as Zelda, likening it to "kicking a puppy in a cancer clinic". | |

Damsel in Distress | |
| Nip and Tuck (Webcomic) / int_4160410d | comment |
Damsel in Distress: Subverted when Thelma Possum, trapped in a lousy contract with a porn studio, becomes a professional wrestler to pay it off (surprising the heck out of poor Tuck's rescue party). Averted when Zelda Porcupine, confronted by a studio-barging Gilly Gopher, turns him into a pincushion. And lampshaded to a fare-thee-well when Tuck winds up rescuing overly aggressive, dyed-in-the-scales, capital-F Feminist Hortense from a guy she punched in the breadbasket! (She takes it with all the "grace" you'd expect, too, something that Tuck calls her out on.) See Values Dissonance; as noted, female characters in this strip aren't likely to be the fluttery, useless type. | |

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Hortense the lizard. She's a smart-mouthed asshole who practically goes out of her way to pick fights, especially with the Todd brothers, and is pretty much angry towards the world, but does have a good heart under it all and is ultimately shown to be motivated more by uncertainty, insecurity and a lack of a good role model. | |

Author Tract: Taken to great lengths with various attacks on environmentalism, feminism and liberalism in general right from the first couple of pages. And despite Nip and Tuck largely being irresponsible gun-loving pyromaniacs, Southerners are definitely not as portrayed in the media. Transgenderism is treated as a mental deviance that should be corrected with physical pain and punishment, with the author commenting in the argument on the same strip that homosexuality is also a sin and should be punished as such in much the same manner. | |

Domestic Abuse: Downplayed, but Gus' relationship with Beebee has some very unsettling overtones, particularly when he shows up drunk at the Harvest Dance and gets very angry to find she's been dancing with someone else. Fortunately, the closest he ever gets to hurting her is when he roughly grabs her arm, and Beebee breaks up with him afterwards. | |

Won't Take "Yes" for an Answer: An impressed film-maker has a hard time understanding that Nip isn't actually rejecting the money he's offering. During the post-Timeskip storyline involving the heir to the Wehethehekawee tribe, he's so primed himself that Pa Todd will refuse to return the land his ancestors once claimed (now making up 1 acre of pole bean field) that he's dumbfounded when Pa Todd simply gives it to him. | |

Heel–Face Turn | |
| Nip and Tuck (Webcomic) / int_617f0563 | comment |
Heel–Face Turn: After hearing Nip's explanation about the importance of movies presenting a realistic view of the world as much as possible, and the other actors commenting on how horribly it would hurt the people who have family in the Armed Forces, the script producer breaks confidentiality and reveals to them that the movie they're working on is a sleazy cashgrab of a picture hoping to cash in on the apparent market for anti-American Armed Forces sentiment — something that made the original lead star of the movie walk out in protest, which is how Nip got the position of star. She then works with them to help remake the movie in a more pro-military light, which helps them get off the ground as an indie movie company. | |

| Nip and Tuck (Webcomic) / int_6ae4dedd | comment |
The Unfair Sex: Averted. Despite Pa Todd saying a man automatically loses a fight with a woman when she starts crying, the comic never allows women to use their gender as an "I win" button. Outright subverted in strip #206, when Nip responds to the Pop's Auto Girls — Beebee, Janine, and Sasha — getting angry about him "two-timing them" by bluntly and firmly pointing out that he asked them all out, was turned down each time, and then came to the Harvest Dance on his own; it's not his fault that each of them spontaneously decided that they'd change their plans and give him a pity dance without telling him. The girls are all visibly embarrassed, and after he's walked away, they find him again and apologize for their actions in strip #211. | |

Meaningful Name | |
| Nip and Tuck (Webcomic) / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: "Malarkey" means "meaningless talk" or "nonsense", which is fitting given that Malarkey County is a comedic Urban Fantasy setting full of all kinds of bizarre and sometimes goofy occurrences. Nip calls his movie company "Purloined Letter Production" and uses a vase for a logo as a combination of this and an in-joke; it refers to how the whole company got started because Ruth the script writer purloined Moby's copy of the script and smuggled it to Nip, whilst the vase refers to a vase used as part of their plan to make the "real" version of "Man on the Border"; that vase was hidden in every scene that was secretly "fixed" by the actors, as a note to help the cameramen know which reels to set aside. Nip and Tuck call their "pet" bull Thunder because of... well, what happens when you feed a bull gallons of 3-bean vegetarian chili on a daily basis. | |

Straw Feminist | |
| Nip and Tuck (Webcomic) / int_76d233f9 | comment |
Straw Feminist: Defied with Hortense, who is intended as a portrayal of a woman with self image issues trying to define herself using feminism, and being not just unsuccessful, but very troubled because there are so many contradictory feminist philosophies. Newly-introduced character Estelle the shrew, and her as-yet nameless pig friend, seems to be this as well, but they're both more akin to an Anthropomorphic Personification of the worst, most radical feminist philosophies and its members, AKA, the sort that have been quoted as saying that men are only good as walking sex toys for women and that they deserve to be treated like garbage for not being women. Yes, those exist. | |

Age-Inappropriate Dress | |
| Nip and Tuck (Webcomic) / int_7ce7d94d | comment |
Age-Inappropriate Dress: Thelma dresses extremely conservatively. As in, Hortense, Malarkey County's resident "angry feminist", tells her she dresses down too much at one point, and hangs a lampshade that if she is criticizing Thelma's lack of sex appeal, then she is desperately overemphasizing her modesty. In the "lost strips" from the Nip & Tuck-The Funday Pawpet Show crossover, Thelma actually states at one point that she takes her wardrobe advice from her great-grandmother. | |

Actually Pretty Funny | |
| Nip and Tuck (Webcomic) / int_8042e814 | comment |
Actually Pretty Funny: In strip #12, whilst Tuck is raving about how Redneck Rampage is built on offensive stereotypes about rednecks as dim-witted, inbred, violent, gluttonous, flatulent drunkards, Nip is giggling to himself over the ability to use exploding chickens as weapons. When Tuck responds to the sleezy reporter trying to mock him by pantsing the guy on live TV in strip #17, the reporter's own video crew find it hilarious. | |

Ignorant of Their Own Ignorance | |
| Nip and Tuck (Webcomic) / int_80f4e386 | comment |
Ignorant of Their Own Ignorance: Gilly, the Todds' next-door neighbor. He's not really stupid, but he has a tendency not to think beyond the liberal philosophies he's been taught and follows and the inconsistencies therein, and has issues not putting his foot in his mouth when trying to get his points across, as he is basically parroting what he's been taught. | |

Post-9/11 Terrorism Movie: Nip's first big break into movie business is as the star of an action movie with this motif. The director plans to cast it as a film opposing The War on Terror; the actors learn this and shoot their own pro-war version instead. | |

Naughty by Night: Invoked in strip #221, when Nip teases Tuck that the normally very prudish-acting Thelma may turn out to be quite the little bundled of repressed desires now that they've gotten a Relationship Upgrade. Turns out to be foreshadowing; through Character Development, Thelma does go on to be much more uninhibited in the bedroom, with the girl who couldn't initially bare to partake in a lingerie party and had to be forced to show off a new bikini to her boyfriend gravitating to buying some Victoria's Secrets products for her husband. | |

Interspecies Romance | |
| Nip and Tuck (Webcomic) / int_8485d41a | comment |
Interspecies Romance: Whilst there's certainly plenty of same-species couples, the "current generation" is full of attractions across species lines: Tuck (fox) and Thelma (opossum) are a case of Childhood Friend romance that ultimately ends up with them getting together, even getting married. Nip is very attracted to all three of Pop's Auto Girls; Beebee (rabbit), Janine (mouse) and Sasha (squirrel), leading to his efforts to ask all three out for the Harvest Dance. Beebee the rabbit is initially dating Gus Gunthry (pig), and crushed on by Nip (fox). After she breaks up with Gus, she ends up getting together with Gary, a mountain lion (or possibly a bear). An Interspecies Love Triangle can be seen between Zelda (porcupine), who is attracted to Nip (fox), and at the same time desired by Gilly (gopher). She very decisively ends it by getting married to Nip, after he proposes at Tuck and Thelma's wedding. Lil Bit the girl rabbit has a crush on Tagger, a male beaver. They get to go on a date after aging to be more in their teens. Things end on a humiliating note when she accidentally farts whilst he's doing the gentlemanly "pull out her chair" routine... though they get back together after she learns that Tagger went the extra mile and claimed responsibility for it, in order to lessen her humiliation. Bandit (raccoon) has something for Sierra, a female tiger. | |

Where the Hell Is Springfield? | |
| Nip and Tuck (Webcomic) / int_8504b817 | comment |
Where the Hell Is Springfield?: Malarky County is somewhere in the Deep South. Or possibly Texas, judging from a skit following Gilly's rant and unsuccessful attempts to save face. They get some strong winters, but that's not out of the question in Appalachia. Sorting through the strips tells you only that they're near a swamp — home to supporting character Toober and his moonshine-making family — and have some large lakes as well (home to Big Malarky, the local lake monster). All of that said, the writer hails from Ohio. Ohio has large lakes, swamps, tough winters, and a sizable population of proud rednecks. | |

Desperately Looking for a Purpose in Life: Downplayed, but after the Harvest Dance, with Tuck hooking up with Thelma and having been shut down by Beebee because her then-beau Gus Gunthry has a pretty well-paying job, Nip finds himself questioning what he'll do with his life. Fortunately, fate intervenes and he finds himself on the road to being a professional stunt man. | |

Abhorrent Admirer: Initially, this is how Tuck thinks of Thelma. He gets over it, to put it mildly. When Hortense gets flirtatious calls from the gator men aboard the cruise ship, initially, she's very flattered, since she's not used to being seen as "sexy" by men. When they keep it up all day despite her lack of reciprocation, then she gets angry. | |

Parental Sexuality Squick: When Tuck and Thelma unwittingly walk in on Tuck's parents about to make love during Nip's stint at stuntman school, Tuck is horrified and embarrassed. When Nip learns in strip #582 that his mom used to be one of "Pop Otto's Auto Girls" — the skimpily clad beauties who work at the local auto shop — after unwittingly ogling a picture of her from when she was one, he is so repulsed he asks Tuck to ram a toilet brush into his ear and scrub his brain clean of the image. | |

Stalker with a Crush | |
| Nip and Tuck (Webcomic) / int_8b68d9a7 | comment |
Stalker with a Crush: When Gilly falls for Zelda after debating with her under her initially anonymous identity as a local Malarkey county deejay (from strip #561 onwards), he becomes so obsessed with finding out who she is so he can ask her out that he breaks into the radio station to find her, unwittingly outting her identity to the whole of the county. Deconstructed in that this is an absolutely terrible idea on his part, which quite permanently torpedoes any chance he may have ever had of getting her to like him, even if they didn't have opposing political views. Most obviously, the first time he sees her after that in strip #570, she immediately maces him when he is foolish enough to approach her again, and in the next strip she gives him a quick "The Reason You Suck" Speech and then deliberately jabs him with her quills, the first time she is ever seen acting that violently in the series. | |

Laser-Guided Karma | |
| Nip and Tuck (Webcomic) / int_90e31482 | comment |
Laser-Guided Karma: After Gus insults Thelma and agrees to a race to settle the fight, Nip goes out of his way to ensure that karma comes back to bite the Jerkass pig big time. Firstly, Nip sets the course of the race, deliberately stacking the deck by picking a route that goes through terrain where his brother's jeep will have the advantage. Secondly, he gives the route an obvious "short cut"... that happens to run right through the battleground of the annual Malarkey County demolition derby. Which also happens to be running on the day that the race takes place. Sure enough, Gus tries to cheat, and winds getting his beloved truck absolutely wrecked, to the extent that when the storyline finishes in strip #270, Tuck adds insult to injury by refusing to take Gus' truck, despite the wager, because he reckons it isn't worth the effort of hauling away. | |

Girly Girl with a Tomboy Streak | |
| Nip and Tuck (Webcomic) / int_9277483f | comment |
Girly Girl with a Tomboy Streak: Thelma Possom, hand's down. She seems like a sweet Southern gal, all shy and polite and demure... and, for the most part, she is. She's also a huge wrestling fan, to the point that her idea of a romantic date, as seen in strip #290, is to get front row tickets to a match featuring one of her favorite wrestlers. She's also a skilled wrestler herself; first displaying it when she blatantly threatens Toober into bringing his band to the wedding of Corporal Bo, she later wrestles as an indy female fighter under the name "The Hillbilly Hellion" during the "beauty contest scam" story arc. Tuck walks in on her manhandling a hulking bruiser nearly twice her size in strip #522, and in the next strip, she effortlessly pounds on that same wrestler when he foolishly interrupts her conversation with Tuck. Then there's her solution for a replacement romantic activity when Tuck strains a groin muscle and can't dance with her: skeet shooting. Or the fact that her husband gets her a pistol for her birthday, to her delight. | |

In the Blood | |
| Nip and Tuck (Webcomic) / int_97aaa7f3 | comment |
In the Blood: Several strips imply that Nip and Tuck are practically a Decomposite Character of their father; whilst he's normally a stoic, no-nonsense sort, much like Tuck, he's also shown to have a Nip-like affinity for pranks and wicked humor, as seen when he instructs Nip on how to pull off the ultimate revenge prank on his jerky roommate Charlie at stunt school. He also has at least some of Nip's borderline pyromania; his efforts at lighting the barbecue at the church picnic in strip #501 even prompt the pastors to comment on how close the apples fell to the family tree. Plus, he's pretty accident prone, which applies to both his sons. Gus Gunthry apparently inherited his misogyny from his father and grandfather... although, in an act of generational Laser-Guided Karma, both of their wives ultimately ran out on them, just as Beebee ultimately dumped Gus. | |

"Not So Different" Remark | |

"Not So Different" Remark: There was a period of comic strips early in the series' run, titled Redneck Rebuttal, that pointed out that many redneck stereotypes can also be applied to numerous Democrats, yuppies, city slickers, Hollywood elites.... The "family tree not branching" joke was applied to European Royalty. The Hapsburgs come to mind. | |

Insecure Love Interest: Thelma, in the early days of her relationship with Tuck, is extremely uncertain that she's physically attractive enough. She grows out of it as time passes and Tuck very amply demonstrates he desires her, with the biggest step towards it coming in strip #543. | |

| Nip and Tuck (Webcomic) / int_a1a02b6e | comment |
My Defense Need Not Protect Me Forever: Invoked; when Toober and his brothers arrive to perform as the band at Corporal Bo's wedding in strip #430, Thelma declares that if he does a good job, she'll forget about him getting drunk and fouling things up at her 16th birthday, and if he ruins it, she'll hunt him down to the ends of the earth. Toober's brother's suggest they make a break for it, telling Toober that they don't need to outrun her, just him. | |

Furry Reminder | |
| Nip and Tuck (Webcomic) / int_a1d3ebd7 | comment |
Furry Reminder: Whilst for the most part the character's species is aesthetic, reminders of their furry nature do pop up from time to time. Zelda's quills, which routinely make themselves problematic, to the point that the punchline for one strip after Nip's film studio is shut down is the fact he's been distracted from losing his job because one of her quills is lodged in his earlobe. Hortense, and by extension all female lizards, lack breasts, despite the female anthros from mammalian species all having prominent bosoms. Even the female opossums like Thelma have them. The Lapin family's massive array of kids is somewhere between a nod to their status as rabbits and a tongue-in-cheek acknowledgement of the "rednecks have huge families" stereotype. The first appearance of female possums in the Nip & Tuck world having pouches is way back in strip #36, where Thelma manages to sneak some of her mother's famous hard candy away by smuggling it in her pouch. The Todd brothers get a reminder of what a possum's pouch is for in strip #47. Thelma's pouch is visible as a scar-like line on her belly in strips #157, #439 and #745. In strip #485, it's mentioned that Todd's "strong musky cologne" is actually his natural musk glands; in reality, male foxes do have musk glands, and produce a notedly strong odor. In strip #492, Hortense has a Freudian slip about how being a reptile means she's hairless, coldblooded, scaly, and completely lacking in female mammalian sexual characteristics. This is followed by her asking Thelma to carry her back inside before the cold puts her into torpor two strips afterward. When a mongoose door-to-door salesman shows up at the Todd household, he instinctively attacks the lawn sprinkler when he mistakes the sound of it turning on for a cobra. In strip #731, Thelma pulls out her cellphone that she's been keeping in her pouch, with Tuck admitting that he keeps forgetting about it, and Nip dumbfoundedly asking how when she's developed a liking for wearing belly shirts. In strip #752, Hortense explains her unusually chipper behavior of the last few strips has been due to being effectively "drunk" on the heat, as she's from temperate Malarkey County and is now in the distinctly hotter tropical Caribbean. In strip #754, a couple of male gators that take a liking to Hortense's traditional lizard swimsuit respond by letting out belch-like mating calls. Hortense even mistakes what they are at first, and has to be corrected by an embarrassed Thelma. In strip #780, when Zelda's personal assistant Charlotte gently asks if a backless dress isn't a little racy for Zelda's first date with Nip, the porcupine actually forgets about her pre-date nerves to snarkily point out that all of her dresses are by necessity backless, or end up that way after she's worn them once, since her back is covered in needle-sharp quills. The gag of this strip from The Funday Pawpet Show crossover is that, as foxes, Nip and Tuck have a much higher hearing range, so the high pitches of the singer's are absolutely unbearable for them exclusively. Played for laughs in strip #87, where Pa Todd loses a log-sawing contest as part of their annual pioneer's day celebration to a beaver for... obvious reasons. In strip #247, Thelma is shown hanging upside down from a tree branch by her tail, with Tuck implying that this is normal behavior for her and other possums. Arguable, but the Malarky County's Reverend going unbeaten in the church picnic tug-of-wars is a little nod to the legendary strength and stubbornness of wolverines. Hortense uses her lizard's prehensile tongue to snag the wedding bouquet in strip #434. | |

Berserk Button: Downplayed, because it doesn't come up much, but Tuck really does not like the stereotypical portrayal of "rednecks" in the media, and so really doesn't cotton kindly to media playing on those stereotypes. For this reason he has a particular distaste for the videogame Redneck Rampage, and he hates Deliverance — at the very least, it incenses him when Nip decides to play the infamous "Dueling Banjoes" music whenever out-of-towners happen to be around. | |

Urban Fantasy: Downplayed, particularly compared to Goblin Hollow, but Malarkey County is a weird place. Fairly early in the comic, Gilly genetically engineers six-legged chickens, which become a semi-regular backdrop element after his rooster impregnates Ma Todd's hens and they hatch clutches of six-legged chicks — a flying cow and an invisible pig are also mentioned as some of his creations. The local lake is home to a goofy-looking Stock Ness Monster named "Big Malarkey", who actively poses for pictures - but does so in such ridiculous costumes that nobody could send them in to the media — it's mentioned by Tagger that even the tabloids won't take 'em. A story that runs from strip #376 to #402 involves an appearance by an alien, setting up for a joke where the alien's ship is not only shaped like a pie-dish, but has the logo of a pie baking company ("Bluebird Bakery") painted on the bottom. | |

Missing Episode | |
| Nip and Tuck (Webcomic) / int_be8cb2da | comment |
Missing Episode: In spirit if not in actual media; in 2001, the author did a prolonged storyline crossing over Nip & Tuck with the cast of The Funday Pawpet Show, having the cast be an in-universe show of actors who get stranded in Malarkey County when their tour bus breaks down, and so they need to broadcast their show from there until it gets fixed in a fortnight. The author took it down after it was initially posted, citing ethical differences and interpersonal issues, but then reuploaded it and made it canon to the comic again on February 18, 2014. Various annotations were added to these strips to explain the strips return, in particular confirming that this strip and its follow-ups was the canonical reason behind Thelma's art upgrade from her super-frumpy original dress and twin pigtails to the slightly more modern outfit and two loose tails she began wearing in strip #157. | |

On the bright side, she was touched that he made the attempt, and at least he managed to flatten the guy once — a pretty impressive feat when the male chauvinist in question is Gus Guntrie, formerly a central villain of the strip who could take on both Tod boys at once. | |

Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male | |
| Nip and Tuck (Webcomic) / int_c0e3994b | comment |
Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male: Averted. Female characters who abuse male characters in this strip will receive a talking-to at least, a physical retribution at worst. Never subverted, though; males who abuse females get just as much of a smackdown. | |

Irony: In strip #650, Beebee explains that "Magical Princess Usagi" was Cut Short at twelve episodes because an executive complained that she didn't have enough appeal for teenage boys. She promptly grew up into one of Malarkey County's most notoriously gorgeous women. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Nip and Tuck (Webcomic) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: There are a lot of shout-outs to various things in this webcomic. Strips #489 and #490 both make a joking nod to The Rocky Horror Picture Show. The "Bitty Pretty Pony" series is an obvious homage to My Little Pony (which is extra obvious if you know that the author himself is a fan of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic). The "Magical Bunny Princess Usagi" is an expy of Sailor Moon. Tagger mentions watching Voltron in comic #463. Hortense's choice of movies for the sleepover in strip #453 are all "female revenge movies"; G.I. Jane, She-Devil, Fried Green Tomatoes, Thelma & Louise, and I Spit on Your Grave. Hortense is seen wearing a Princess Leia wig in strip #579. When discussing his then-upcoming sci-fi movie "Rebel Cry" in strip #660, Tuck likens it to Buck Rogers and Nip tells him it's more like Firefly In strip #664, Nip, his scriptwriter and his leading man discuss the plot of their planned sci-fi movie "Rebel Cry", likening it to Les Misérables, Silent Running and The Last Chase During the strips running "Rebel Cry", several Star Wars jokes and references are made. There's also a Casablanca reference in strip #697. Big Malarkey is compared to Sigmund the Sea Monster in strip #737. Hortense quotes Darth Vader's "I have altered the deal" line from The Empire Strikes Back in strip #741. Thelma makes a reference to Xena: Warrior Princess in strip #754. During Nip and Zelda's first date together, the lyrics from "I Could Have Danced All Night" are featured in strip #784. When Solidus explains why he founded "Green Chicks", aside from direct references to Star Trek and Mystery Science Theater 3000, there's also two Star Wars references (a Princess Leia hostess and roast Bantha on the menu) and a The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy reference, in the form of the Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster. Daisy Dukes gets praised by Tuck in strip #20 for, ah, obvious reasons. The sight of Gilly Gopher in his bathing suit in strip #125 prompts Thelma to note he looks like the Hamburglar gone to seed. In strip #154, Tagger responds to Gilly asking if he misses hanging out with other students due to being home-schooled by giving him a copy of Lord of the Flies. After seeing Tuck trying to catch a nap on the roof of his pokey new trailer home, Thelma can't resist teasing him by comparing him to Snoopy. When Nip meets Charlie's lovestruck fan Denise at stunt school, he asks Charlie if he's ever read Misery by Stephen King. The first stages of Nip's revenge plan on Charlie, starting from strip #312, are patterned on Misery as well. At the end of "Man on the Border", Crow and Tom Servo from Mystery Science Theater 3000 show up ready to MST, only to complain that they missed the whole movie. When Nip attempts to see Michael Moby about the plot of "Man on the Border", he has a mental image of himself as the sacrifice in a scene out of King Kong (1933). He even mentally notes he needs to stop watching late-night monster movie marathons. The videogame "Kung Fu Alien Showdown" is a nod to fighting games like Street Fighter. During the storyline in which Nip tries to catch Gilly's six-legged rooster, he claims that they have a "cousin Wiley" who used to hunt a roadrunner with the aid of Acme products, then retired from that and started a turtle farm — this is an obvious reference to the Roadrunner cartoons from Looney Tunes. Thelma's Hickory Nut Crunch is a "wrasslin' move" used by Ellie-May in the film version of The Beverly Hillbillies. Though Thelma's Two-Step Twister and Double Ankle Lock are unique to her, in contrast to Elly May's Clampett Clamp and Possum Pretzel. In the first storyline of the post-Time Skip, a Native American comes to Malarky County who belongs to the Whehthehekawee tribe — an homage to the Hekawi tribe from black & white comedy western serial F Troop. When talking about how Moby's superiors canned Moby's version of "Man On The Border", Nip says that the producer described it as being "more toxic than The Birth of a Nation (1915)" — which is the infamous movie created to glorify the founding of the Ku Klux Klan. | |

Description Cut | |
| Nip and Tuck (Webcomic) / int_c83751cb | comment |
Description Cut: In strip #748, Nip is confident that the notoriously shy Zelda will have no problems doing an interview with him for their radio station back home. Cut to Zelda having a panic attack in her cabin. In strip #773, Nip thinks he's offended Zelda by asking her to be his date, but what's actually happened is that she's actually so dumbfounded that her shyness has made it impossible for her to say yes, despite desperately wanting to. An unusual variant can be seen in strip #792; the first and third panels are Tuck opinioning that his parents must have retired for a quiet, relaxing soak, because they're too old to party, whilst the central panel shows they're actually having a naked game of chase before making love. In strip #244, Tuck initially blows off the notion that he'll miss his twin brother whilst the latter is off at stunt school for 12 weeks. Cue the last panel showing Tuck up at night, looking very mournful. | |

Freudian Excuse | |
| Nip and Tuck (Webcomic) / int_c868a42a | comment |
Freudian Excuse: Hortense gives one over strips #492 to #494; she's the only female lizard in all of Malarkey County, so she feels extremely insecure about her gender, because the only examples she has on what a "woman" is like come from the mammals around her, which she's biologically incapable of emulating. She clings to an aggressively independent form of feminism in no small part to try and comfort herself in the face of this insecurity. | |

What the Hell, Hero? | |
| Nip and Tuck (Webcomic) / int_d39e327f | comment |
What the Hell, Hero?: After Bandit's savage beating by Gus in a boxing match, his idol, Sierra, comes to visit him in the hospital wing. She pulls on his nose briefly, then gives him a scathing speech about how stupid the situation was, saying that not only did Bandit get into a fight unnecessarily, he also let his temper get the best of him and nearly got himself killed challenging a guy twice his height and weight to defend the honor of someone he'd never met in person. While Bandit cringes from this, the scene turns out to be kind of sweet, since Sierra then kisses him on the cheek for the thought. Also when Hortense blasts Tuck for forcing Thelma into a beauty contest in strips #510-#514. As she points out, beauty contests are stressful, degrading and vicious, and if Thelma comes in last, it'll surely destroy her fragile self-confidence. | |

Drugs Are Bad | |
| Nip and Tuck (Webcomic) / int_de7b7cbf | comment |
Drugs Are Bad: Subverted, which might come as a surprise given the author's rather blatant Southern American Conservative values on display in this comics. In strip #113, the first of a 3-strip mini-storyline, resident "idiot liberal" Gilly Gopher is dumbfounded when he finds out that hardcore Rightwing Tuck Todd actually supports the legalization of marijuana. Tuck subsequently explains in the next strip that he primarily supports the legalization of hemp - marijuana's non-drug cousin - although he does also believe marijuana itself should be legalized. The last strip, #115, has him explaining why he has this belief, telling Gilly that hemp can be used to make soap, cloth, rope, and string, it produces four times as much potential paper as an equivalent amount of wood pulp and without all of the nasty chemicals required as part of the process, it has the most clean-burning natural oil in the world, and its oil and seeds are highly nutritious. Marijuana, meanwhile, can not only do everything that hemp can do, but can also be used as a safe, effective treatment for the symptoms of chemotherapy, glaucoma and multiple schlerosis. Nip's last planned movie before Purloined Letter Productions is foreclosed is an "anti-War on Drugs" themed action movie, in which a rural cop tries to fight off South American drug cartels who want to mule drugs through his territory, whilst regarding the government's anti-drug enforcement agents to be just as much of a threat. The protagonist's narration in the trailer directly compares the War on Drugs to Prohibition, particularly in how it has given people who would have been small-time criminals a chance to become ultra-rich crimelords. | |

History Repeats: Invoked by the Empire Commander in the final strip of the Rebel Cry storyline, likening the dissidents of the Empire and the rebels of Promethia fleeing to colonize a remote star system beyond the Empire's reach to the founding of America (not explicitly, but the subtext is obvious). In particular, he muses that, given how "that colony of rebels of old" went on to surpass its parent empire "a thousandfold", it's possible the same thing will happen again. | |

Determinator | |
| Nip and Tuck (Webcomic) / int_e567510d | comment |
Determinator: Bandit during a boxing match against a pig a lot bigger than him. He gets beaten to a pulp and still refuses to drop for a while. Gilly Gopher is also one. While others would have realized long ago that Malarkey County isn't too kind to Know Nothing Know It Alls, he just keeps on trying to convince his neighbors he has the right idea. | |

| Nip and Tuck (Webcomic) / int_e88e8a8f | comment |
Writer on Board: As with all of R.H.Jr's works, he makes no bones about working in his views on politics into the comic. Unlike, say, Quentyn Quinn, Space Ranger, the preaching tends to be reserved more to single strips or two-strip comics set aside for that purpose, and the comic mostly revolves around Slice of Life antics. | |

Crossover | |
| Nip and Tuck (Webcomic) / int_eb6da8ef | comment |
Crossover: In 2001, R.H. Jr. did a set of about 39 comics in which the cast of the online puppet troupe "The Funday Pawpet Show" wound up temporarily stranded in Malarkey County. He took it down, citing "ethical differences", but then reuploaded the strips into the archive after the Todd Brothers' wedding. | |

Jerkass | |
| Nip and Tuck (Webcomic) / int_eb8e4fa8 | comment |
Jerkass: Gus Gunthry, who is the most hated man in Malarkey County for a reason. He actually provokes the normally mild-tempered Tuck to attack him in a rage when he brutally mocks him for hooking up with somebody as "ugly" as Thelma. Gus' buddies aren't any better than he is, as you'd expect. Micheal Moby, before and after his stint in Malarkey County. Charlie Bengal. Downplayed in that he was acting that way because he thought he was supposed to, and didn't consider that the prima donna actors he was emulating didn't get good roles anymore, if any BECAUSE of said attitude. Given how the protagonists and supporting characters are often shown running roughshod on anyone whose opinions the author disagrees with, verbally or physically, it's safe to say that even the protagonists can come off like this at times. | |

Southern-Fried Genius: While Nip is not entirely an idiot, in early strips he is quite reckless; on the other hand, Tuck is definitely displaying this trope. Tagger and his rival Eugene are Child Prodigy versions of this. | |

Decomposite Character | |
| Nip and Tuck (Webcomic) / int_f0508c08 | comment |
Several strips imply that Nip and Tuck are practically a Decomposite Character of their father; whilst he's normally a stoic, no-nonsense sort, much like Tuck, he's also shown to have a Nip-like affinity for pranks and wicked humor, as seen when he instructs Nip on how to pull off the ultimate revenge prank on his jerky roommate Charlie at stunt school. He also has at least some of Nip's borderline pyromania; his efforts at lighting the barbecue at the church picnic in strip #501 even prompt the pastors to comment on how close the apples fell to the family tree. Plus, he's pretty accident prone, which applies to both his sons. | |

Anthropomorphic Personification | |

Newly-introduced character Estelle the shrew, and her as-yet nameless pig friend, seems to be this as well, but they're both more akin to an Anthropomorphic Personification of the worst, most radical feminist philosophies and its members, AKA, the sort that have been quoted as saying that men are only good as walking sex toys for women and that they deserve to be treated like garbage for not being women. Yes, those exist. | |

Pervert Revenge Mode | |
| Nip and Tuck (Webcomic) / int_f8880124 | comment |
Pervert Revenge Mode: Deconstructed in two strips, which shows what happens when the man isn't a friend who would just let the hits go. In strip 536 Thelma beats the ever-loving tar out of a man for his sleazy attempt to trick women into starring in pornos. She destroyed multiple pieces of film equipment in the process and ends up in debt. There is also the implication she has to pay his medical bills. Reconstructed when it turns out the photoshoot was a scam and Thelma's accountant got suspicious and never sent them a cent. In strip 759, Hortense punches a large gator man in the stomach for catcalling her all day. Within five strips it is clear that a man around three times her size is now pissed off at her and she needs Tuck to bail her out when it is clear he and his friends are going to retaliate. | |

Malicious Slander | |
| Nip and Tuck (Webcomic) / int_f8c8175a | comment |
Malicious Slander: Invoked in strip #597, when an outraged Nip objects to a "joke" in the movie's script likening the Ku Klux Klan to the National Rifle Asssociation. As he points out, the statement that they "go together like peanut butter and chocolate" is completely fallacious, given that the NRA was founded by Union officers (in contrast to the KKK being founded by Confederate soldiers), its 8th president was Ulysses S. Grant — the man who would use the KKK Act and Enforcement Act to arrest over 5000 Klansmen, and in the 1950s the NRA was responsible for founding entire chapters of African-Americans to assist them in defending their communities against KKK lynch-squads. This "one line joke" would have had the NRA's lawyers up in arms if it had gone through. He then follows this up by explaining the importance of movies subverting Reality Is Unrealistic, since so many people derive so much information about the world from the media that they take in. | |

Beware the Nice Ones | |
| Nip and Tuck (Webcomic) / int_fccd06b6 | comment |
Beware the Nice Ones: The Todd brothers themselves, in a sense. Normally, they're affable and laidback jokesters, but the residents of Malarkey County have learned you don't pick a fight with them. Denise, the Cat Girl at stunt school with a crush on Charlie, looks like a sweet and innocent woman, with her oversized glasses and girlish twintails emphasizing her semblance of youthful innocence. When Charlie breaks her heart, she readily joins in on Nip's prankfest and plays the role of an Annie Wilkes style psycho fan with chilling realism. After they mend ties and hook up, she also shows herself to be a ruthlessly skilled agent for Charlie. | |

Brick Joke | |
| Nip and Tuck (Webcomic) / int_fe0330fb | comment |
Brick Joke: Given the comic's length and love of comedic Call Backs, this happens a lot. One example? After the founding of "Purloined Letter Productions", strip #639 shows Tagger and Eugene being used as a focus group and blithely suggesting that Nip's next film "needs more ninjas". At the end of the "Rebel Cry" storyline, the second Nip movie that he previews is "10,000 Ninjas!", an action-comedy about a man being attacked by an enormous army of ninjas, each of whom is only granted 60 seconds to try and kill him in. | |

Badass Preacher: Downplayed, but the Malarkey County reverend is a huge wolverine; in his introductory strip, Tuck notes that very few people are willing to refuse a request from him to attend services, whilst in strip #504 it's established that every church picnic has a tug-of-war consisting of every churchmember who wants to partake against the reverend alone. It's implied they've never beaten him. | |
