Penny Arcade (Webcomic)/Awesome


  • Gabe of Penny Arcade trying to cure Tycho's hiccups by cutting off his hand.
    • It would be more awesome if it worked.
      • Well, he'll presumably stop hiccuping when he runs out of blood. So that's kind of like working.
      • This troper always felt that the point is that Gabe doesn't actually intend to cure the hiccups; he merely wanted to hear Tycho scream and hiccup at the same time. And who can blame him? It is hilarious.
      • In the volume it's in, Tycho says Gabe thinks people hiccup to spite him. So wanting to harm them works.
        • We heard on one of the podcasts that Gabe has the power to stop his hiccups through sheer willpower, and presumably he doesn't understand that this is not the case for other people.
  • Three Words: Cardboard Tube Samurai.
    • Nine More Words: Cardboard Tube Samurai skin for Yoshimitsu in Tekken 6.
  • I guess Tycho needs to learn how to Shut His Filthy Mouth
  • Tycho gets his when he delivers an epic To the Pain speech that wouldn't be out of place in a fantasy novel in response to Gabe saying that Warhammer ripped off World of Warcraft.
  • The Dixie Twist in Gabe's line dancing finals is certainly his Crowning Moment of Awesome.
  • Tycho and Oksana's final moments in "Paint the Line 2". .
  • This troper would say Tycho gets a Crowning Moment of Awesome and Funny. Nah, it's cool.
  • Annarchy had two in "Armadeaddon": this one where she's wailing on zombies with a bat'leth, and this one where she breaks up with her boyfriend while still wailing on zombies.
  • Tycho gets one here: DaytoooonaaaaaAAAAAAAAGH!
  • Hell, even the Fruit Fucker gets one.
    • The entire Armadeaddon storyline counts. Hell, Jim, a completely anciliary character who was introduced as a dessicated skeleton, turns out to be the leader of the zombie horde; and one of the zombies was Gabe and Tycho's former undead roommate.
    • Don't forget how Tycho beats Jim: with an absolutely legendary callback joke. Specifically, the "I roll twenties", from the sandwich comic.
  • Gabe's first session as Dungeon Master. It helps if you read the lead-up.
  • Counter Stomp!
  • When Jack Thompson reneged on his offer to donate ten thousand dollars to charity if someone made the ultimate violent video game in which players could urinate on people's brains and murder kids who worked in video game stores, Mike and Jerry made the donation themselves.

Tycho: We've just made the donation you never would, and never meant to. Ten thousand dollars' worth. And we made it in your name.
