Not to be confused with the term Player Versus Player. Or the RWBY episode of the same name. Or PWP, for that matter.PvP is a gaming webcomic started in 1998 by cartoonist Scott Kurtz. It takes place around the office of a small magazine production company that produces the gaming magazine "PvP", focusing mostly on the office antics of a straight-laced boss, his snobby best friend, the snob's wife (originally the sole female writer in the company), their bratty sixteen year old intern, a naive, careless troll, and two frat boys. Over time, the cast gained a female counterpart to the intern, and some other characters. It originally started as a pastiche Affectionate Parody of video games and geek culture in general, moving away from that towards just being a slice of life comedy about its characters and an Affectionate Parody of every 80s sitcom ever made.On May 18, 2020, PvP went through a time skip, soft-branded as "PvP 3.0", ready to double down on the classic office sitcom shenanigans that were the core of PvP's humor for years. From mid June to November 2021, the comic was temporarily replaced with a one called Mort about a son caring for his sick father. PvP returned in December 2021 to the pre-timeskip storyline, back to the present day.Unfortunately, at least for the purposes of linking to evidence of tropes, in September of 2022 the entire archive of PVP prior to 2021 was put behind a Patreon subscriber-only paywall. Thus rendering virtually all the links in this page into 404 pages, or subscriber only placeholder images. It remains to be seen if this will generate new revenue, or merely annoy fans.

Cheated Angle: Before Brent revealed his face (well, again), he would always be drawn so that you could never see his eyes behind his sunglasses. Now, when seen from the side, you can clearly see his eyes. Jase's eyes were always covered by his hat until he started dating Robbie's gardener and temporarily stopped wearing it. He got his hat back but now his eyes are clearly visible (and he's lost a lot of weight).

Hypocritical Heartwarming: The Panda makes it clear that only he can maul Brent. When a group of activists for a show called Panda Wars take Brent hostage in a bid to kill the Panda due to his domestication, the Panda suits up and prepares to fight for his human. He only doesn't have to because they faint, and the Panda unties Brent with no hard feelings.

Comic-Book Time

comment
Comic-Book Time: OH yes. The characters have aged somewhat as the series progressed, but in periodic jumps rather than it happening naturally. Cole's children were toddlers when the comic began but are now in college, while Francis hasn't aged more than about five years. And of course, none of the pets are affected by aging. As of 2015, most of the cast are in their early 40s or late 30's, while Marcy and Francis are in their late 20's. Skull, being a mythical creature who's centuries-old, hasn't aged at all.

Deal with the Devil
 PvP (Webcomic) / int_1fc8335e
comment
Deal with the Devil: One soul for a cup of coffee. Then again 1) Brent didn't really think the barista was the Devil, and 2) it was a really good cup of coffee. The Devil(?), rather than taking Brent to Hell as is the usual way these deals turn out, uses his ownership of Brent's soul to make him his errand boy. Also, he's not really the devil. He's a computer security expert, and he's using the terror and humiliation he's engendering by pretending to be the devil to soften up Brent and Cole to the notion of hiring him to redo their security.

Captain Ersatz: Scratch Fury and the "Cabbage Scratch Kid" do a subverted riff on Calvin and Hobbes. The subversion is that the cat is real and the boy is a doll. Hungry Cat might be a riff on Moe and/or Susie Derkins. There was an arc where Scratch made a device to find his fellow superintelligent cats called FUREBRO and used it to find a cat who was a feline expy of Doctor Strange.

Artifact Title: When was the last time the magazine itself meant anything? This became part of the comic due to the decline of print media and gaming journalism, eventually moving to an exclusively online magazine, and eventually shutting it down completely. The company, while still called PvP instead produces mobile games now. Lampshaded in a guest strip, where the characters find themselves looking at the magazine for the first time.

Mistaken for Cheating: Contrary to all expectations, Brent and Chet hit it off. But when they start disappearing with vague boys'-night-out excuses, Jade and Miranda track them down to find out what they're really doing. However, it's far, far worse than anything they could ever have imagined — they find that Chet is reading poetry in a coffee house. Gasp!

Girl on Girl Is Hot: Brent initially thinks Miranda is there to fulfill his fantasy of watching Jade get it on with another girl. Artist Frank Cho made a guest strip guaranteed to raise the heart ratenote among other things of anybody who enjoys this trope. Brent totally misses seeing this kiss while his office-mates are stunned into silence. (Though he tries to make up for it later.)

Character Development: Francis, despite all his denials to the contrary, has become more mature in the Time Skip. He runs the company the way Cole did, down to dressing like him, admits he never knew how hard Cole had it, counsels Katie on how to talk to her mother about dropping out of college, and is more open about his love for Marcie even when fighting with her. In 2021, Francis makes a great effort to reconcile with Marcie, and is pleasantly surprised to find out she's pregnant, though he asks Katie to keep it a secret when she eavesdrops.

Deadly Distant Finale: A sobering one in 3.0 Both Scratch and Kirby have passed on, owing to the Time Skip. After all, not even the greatest science can make our loved pets immortal. The S.C.R.A.T.C.H. that uploads himself to a 3D-printed body has limited memories and didn't even know that Kirby had died. Skull breaks the news to him gently.

Thanks for the Mammary: Francis honks Jade's boob when he thinks that he's in the future and therefore his actions have no consequences (It Makes Sense in Context). This leads to Jade leaving PvP to start her her own magazine. Part of the reason she returns to PvP is because one of her (female) coworkers in the new magazine does the exact same thing.

Wham Shot: During a date to be as romantic as possible to their dates, Brent brings out a box. Then he opens it, much to Jade's shock because it has a ring. Brent proceeds to say, "Jade, will you marry me?" He later reveals he was thinking about it for a while and thought it would be a good time. She doesn't accept then but promises to in the future when it's not part of a bet or he's under the iPhone influence.

Excuse Boomerang: There was an early strip in which Cole attempted this unsuccessfully. His employees were in the habit of neglecting their jobs to play video games. At one point, he told them that he was too busy playing a certain game to finish the payroll, only to decide a moment later that he actually should get it out of the way.

Jumping the Shark: The Time Skip to 3.0, having most of the main characters being retired or dead and replacing them with inferior new characters at the office was controversial enough, but when Kurtz stopped updating the comic and replaced it with Mort, a bleak and depressing comic about a son trying to deal with his father's descent into dementia (informed by his own Real Life experiences) was when most readers gave up caring about the comic completely.

The Alleged Boss: Cole is treated with little respect as a boss since he lets his employees get away with their zany hijinks. At one point the office had a new employee hired to help with finances, which Cole was not consulted about and was mocked when he complained. Ironically, Francis now has to deal with this after the timeskip, as he's now running his own company, and dealing with the exact same kind of crap Cole had to.

Let's Get Dangerous!: The panda generally exists to antagonist Brent and maul him. Then a bunch of "Panda Wars" activists break into the PVP offices to "liberate" the panda, taking Brent as a hostage. A tied-up Brent thanks them and warns them the bear is a threat. Cue the bear grappling with the activists to save Brent. When the activists decide to euthanize the panda for acting very unnatural, the panda ties on a headband and prepares to fight for real. Fortunately or unfortunately, he doesn't get the chance.

Fantastic Racism: Skull occasionally expresses some disdain over the usual portrayal of trolls. And apparently dark elves are bastards. Skull has actually gone so far as to go on strike and protest against the unfair treatment of fantasy creatures. Skull and his dwarven (as in an actual fantasy dwarf) girlfriend Valerie have their first real fight as a couple after Valerie just assumed that Skull would try to eat her pet goat.

Author Avatar: Scratch is actually Kurtz's cat. As of Sept 16th, 2008, he can talk, has cool goggles, and a ray gun. There is a dog in the strip which was, and originally appeared as, Kurtz's dog. He later became Cole's. When the dog died in real life, the comic dog continued to appear. Kurtz himself used to appear to speak directly to the readers. He hasn't done this in a while, probably because he keeps a blog now. Kurtz writes in his father's actual comments from time to time, and Reggie is based on a real friend of Kurtz. Kurtz frequently uses Skull to reflect himself, but in a much less indirect manner. (His birthday reflected Scott's, etc.) Lolbat villain the Mad Hater seems to resemble a younger Kurtz in appearance, but in personality seems based on those parts of the fanbase who dislike the Lolbat interludes.

comment
Real Life Writes the Plot: Not long after Scott Kurtz moved from Dallas to Seattle in 2009, the PvP staff made a similar relocation. Averted by the Time Skip to PVP 3.0, as Kurtz explicitly stated that the reason for the reboot was so Real Life didn't write the plot as he felt unable to address the very serious current issues in the comic but ignoring them would also be problematic, so he opted to to Take a Third Option and shift the timeline into the future. In mid June 2021, Kurtz suspended updates of the main comic and started posting a new comic called Mort, about a son dealing with his father having a stroke and having to move in with him to care for him, based on Kurtz's own experiences dealing with his own father's seriously declining health.

Wacky Marriage Proposal: The arc starts here when Brent decides to pop the question at Comic Con. He has some Stormtroopers dress up Jade as Leia, while he decks out as Luke before Cole points out they're siblings, and Brent quickly switches into Han Solo garb. Starts out well, goes horribly wrong because the Stormtroopers won't let Brent as Han get past them and chase him when they learn he assaulted a guard, goes right when Jade accepts, goes wrong again when they end up in jail due to causing a riot at ComicCon, and then back out again since it turns out the guard was a convicted felon breaking his parole.

Super Hero: Kurtz's earlier character Captain Amazing made an early appearance and earned a spinoff. More recently, we've seen Jingle Force Five (a Christmas-themed parody of the original X-Men lineup). The Lolbat is an ongoing character; he's a combination of Batman and the internet lolcat phenomenon whose Rogues Gallery is made up of Grammar Nazis and other assorted Internet-based phenomena. He also has a sidekick named ReTweet. True, but he does not want. He's reluctantly accepted ReTweet as his sidekick, and has also obtained two allies, the Double Rainbow. And yet another ally: while bored one day, Miranda stumbled onto Lolbat's hidden lair, discovered his suits were made of Applied Phlebotinum, and used one to make herself into Instagirl.

Proud to Be a Geek: The whole cast, with the exception of Jade. Even she might just be a different style of geek... Brent is actually an aversion, and while he admits to "interests that coincide with nerdity" he denies being an actual nerd, which Francis (a straight example of this trope) calls him out on. He's an avowed Apple geek who will buy any product they make, a D&D player, a gamer, he plays World of Warcraft with his wife (who's in many ways geekier than him), quotes movies constantly, has declared Joss Whedon his master, almost dropped out of college because he was hooked on Sega games, and consistently gets into arguments about genre fiction or gaming with Francis and Cole. But he's not a nerd. Definitely not a nerd. He's also a big fan of Star Wars and plays every game released in this franchise with Cole.

Protagonist-Centered Morality
 PvP (Webcomic) / int_89434320
comment
Protagonist-Centered Morality: Particularly obvious with the treatment of Max Powers. He is, by all appearances, a friendly guy who's happy to help, whose worst crimes are being successful and pulling bad jokes no worse than the protagonists would pull. Yet every time he stopped by the PvP office he was received like he was some sort of colossal dick dead set on destroying everything the staff held dear, for no discernible reason. This was confronted and deconstructed during the Thanksgiving 2008 arc. The trope became moot in 2010 with Max becoming an accepted member of the staff.

This has been played with just about every possible way, including an arc where Brent and the panda become Fire-Forged Friends when a crazy activist tries to kidnap it, only to have the Reset Button pressed a short while later after a Zany Scheme to get the panda to mate backfires and results in Brent getting raped by the female panda in question.

Redundant Parody: In one Lolbat strip we see his Grammar Nazi-themed Rogues Gallery. Kurtz made one of the villains "Onomatopoeia" as a joke both on the theme and the use of onomatopoeia in the sixties Batman show. However, there actually is a DC Comics villain called Onomatopoeia, based on a sinister reinterpretation of the same reference, and he even looks somewhat similar (by coincidence) to what Kurtz drew. To his credit, on being informed of this Kurtz edited the strip and replaced him with a palindrome-themed villain.

Cannot Tell Fiction from Reality: The Stormtroopers at Comic Con believe a random guy dressed as the Emperor is the real deal. They corner Jade, make her dress as Leia, and lock her in a room on the Emperor's orders. She tells them Star Wars is just a movie, with one commenting "You sound like my mom." Brent, who was the Emperor in question — it was part of his Wacky Marriage Proposal— can't get past them because he changed into Han Solo clothes. So he recruits a bunch of furries as his Ewoks to rescue Jade and propose to her.

Arbitrarily Large Bank Account: Robbie must have won one hell of a lottery jackpot, he apparently can splurge the GDP of a small country whenever he wants. He hired accountants to make sure he doesn't run out of money. He seems to have some investments in the pornographic industry as well, and now a significant shareholder for PvP. Somewhat subverted as he mentions his fortune took a hit during the financial crisis in -08, not enough to change his lifestyle signifigantly, but enough to prevent him from acting like Uncle Pennybags when it would ruin the plot.

Good Parents: The panda and Brent call a truce when they both have kids, with Brent saying the toxicity shouldn't be passed onto the next generation as they're at the zoo together. Kate proceeds to give the panda a smooch, which causes his heart to melt. It turns out that, contrary to what Leela led the team to believe, her parents are this. They reveal that they were worried that Leela never knew how to have fun, or how to express herself artistically. Thus, they are super happy when they find out her workplace is fun and zany, hoping it will help her relax. Despite herself, Leela starts adjusting to the quirkiness, in small doses.

In Real Life, Gabe and Tycho from Penny Arcade, their good-natured cruelty to each other popping up in a strip every once in a while. Scott's foreword to one of their print collections ended with "Fuck them, and fuck you for buying this book and not PVP," and Gabe and Tycho refer to Scott as "Steve Kuntz" on a regular basis. Now that Scott is living in Seattle and working in the Penny Arcade offices, one only assumes that the hijinks will continue. Also, the old WoW guilds (Panda Attack for PvP, the Knights of Arcadia for Penny Arcade) were pretty much an online, massively-multiplayer extension of the real-life relationship between the two. B^Uckley tried to get in on it with his own guild, but when Kurtz, Krahulik, and Holkins would have none of it, he ended things on a predictable note (e.g. massive hostility for all).

Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: This has happened to several minor characters over the course of the comic. Cole's wife and children haven't appeared in almost fifteen years (justified, at least in the wife's case, by their being divorced), Sonya Powers (Skull's girlfriend) and Gwen haven't been in a comic for about ten years. Even characters like Reggie and Jase seem to have disappeared entirely. Reggie, for one, is not forgotten as he was name-dropped in 2014, years after his last actual appearance in the comic. Gwen is back as of this comic, though so far it hasn't gone anywhere. Jase is also back, and has hired Gwen after surprising Cole.

Shout-Out: There's one to Adventure Time here. Sayyy, some of those phrases look real familiar... A May, 2015 arc involves a reference to Night Court. Brent's dialogue on the last panel of this comic is a reference to Freaks. Also here. Back to the Future here. The Prisoner (1967) starts here, though we don't see the island itself until this strip. The weapons in this strip resemble the "lirpa"◊ in the Star Trek: The Original Series episode Amok Time. In this Watchmen parody he throws at least six different popular syndicated newspaper comics into the mix and hits "puree". Miranda dresses as Cammy White for a paintball game.note She must be pretty confident about her skill, because the outfit doesn't give much protection, and paintballs hurt. She does at least wear a proper mask during the game. At the end of the arc she even delivers a proper videogame fighting move complete with floating on-screen scores. Princess Jade Organa? A line-up of pandas included Pan Pan from Homestar Runner's 20X6.

Ascended Fridge Horror: Santa in December 2020 has this reaction when he learns that his plan to kill Scratch 2.0 would go. The wizard tells him that Kringus is gone, and he would be breaking to a family's home to murder their kitten. Santa doesn't like that, and aborts the plan.

comment
Cerebus Syndrome: The strip toys with this to some extent. It never goes full-over into drama, but for most of its run now it's alternated between Gag Per Day format, dramedy, and downright serious drama. Some people felt the strip fell full into Cerebus Syndrome during the Brent/Jade wedding arc, which happened to overlap with a surprisingly serious turn for Skull, Cole's marriage falling apart, and a story about Robbie and Jase falling out. Of course, the strip quickly went back to comedic arcs after a few months, just as it always had done before. Parodied in one strip where Cole reveals that he has inoperable cancer, and Jade accuses Brent of having a drinking problem.

Revised Ending: Kurtz frequently pokes fun at other works, usually through parody. Occasionally he'll indulge his sense of the ridiculous by creating an alternate ending to a known work, often simply by brushing away Artistic License and showing a more probable outcome. This is a parody ending of one of the original Twilight Zone's most famous episodes,Time Enough At Last.

Whole-Plot Reference: Although the strip frequently alludes to films, comics and video games in its plots, the confrontation between Cole and Lucille which played out over several strips at the end of a 2013 LARP arc is taken practically line-by-line from the confrontation between Luke and the Emperor from Return of the Jedi, with Cole as Luke, Lucille as the Emperor, and Max as Vader.

The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: Very rarely does the plot involve the cast actually having to produce a magazine. The rest of the time the office is just a setting for hijinks. Lampshaded in a guest strip: Lampshaded again here: Justified as the magazine is now no longer in production. They're now a game publishing company that never seems to publish any games.

comment
Sitcom Archnemesis: Max Powers. In Real Life, Gabe and Tycho from Penny Arcade, their good-natured cruelty to each other popping up in a strip every once in a while. Scott's foreword to one of their print collections ended with "Fuck them, and fuck you for buying this book and not PVP," and Gabe and Tycho refer to Scott as "Steve Kuntz" on a regular basis. Now that Scott is living in Seattle and working in the Penny Arcade offices, one only assumes that the hijinks will continue. Also, the old WoW guilds (Panda Attack for PvP, the Knights of Arcadia for Penny Arcade) were pretty much an online, massively-multiplayer extension of the real-life relationship between the two. B^Uckley tried to get in on it with his own guild, but when Kurtz, Krahulik, and Holkins would have none of it, he ended things on a predictable note (e.g. massive hostility for all).

comment
Our Werewolves Are Different: A Beast Man version that has self-control while transformed and complete control over the change, which is instantaneous and painless. The only obvious change is claws and instant fur growth, though the second arc implies they also have enhanced abilities. Two Halloween arcs: The first is in 2004. Cole gets bitten by a werewolf and infects Jade and Brent. Francis thinks it's cool, tries and fails to get bitten as well, and in the end cures them with wolfsbane out of spite. The second is in 2005. It turns out Cole never drank the spiked punch and is still a wolfman. He is tricked into biting Francis, and the two go on to use their enhanced abilities to fight crime. In the end, Scratch Fury, Destroyer of Worlds tricks them into eating wolfsbane to depower them, because he doesn't want them foiling his plans of world domination.
