''World's Greatest Adventures'' is a series of sketches created by Creator/GoblinStudios, available [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvREWLROFb-03zLhm44PIJJSO-PpqzKeW on YouTube]].
The short skits see the [[MilesGloriosus delusional, megalomaniac "world's greatest explorer"]], Rufus Hooter Talltales. Invariably, Talltales begins with extravagant claims about his latest adventures or discoveries, only for buffoonish editing mistakes and his own stupidity to expose his senseless boasting for what it is.
!!''World's Greatest Adventures'' features examples of:
* AdventurerOutfit: R. H. Talltales has an off-kilter variation on the Archaeologist, with the wide-brimmed FedoraOfAsskicking and the satchel, but a goofy short-sleeved striped shirt instead of a jacket and long unruly hair and beard instead of [[PermaStubble Heroic Stubble]].
* BadBadActing: Invoked for Talltales, who is too much of a CloudCuckooLander for his bad acting to even resemble anything someone with an ounce of sense might put out.
* BoldExplorer: What R. H. Talltales claims to be. Of course, [[MilesGloriosus your mileage may vary…]]
* ChasedOffIntoTheSunset: Talltales's customary fate once his lies are exposed by circumstance. In a twist on the classic trope, the camerawoman herself is the one chasing him.
* {{Mascot}}: Rufus s
* MilesGloriosus: R. H. Talltales himself is, naturally, a massive example.
MilkingTheGiantCow: Rufus is prone to it when boasting of his discoveries.
* RepeatCut: One of the editing mishaps that keep screwing Talltales over.
* RevealShot: Used in Episode 1 to reveal that the springs Talltales has 'discovered' are actually a tourist resort.
* RuggedScar: In one of his silliest moments, Talltales claims some mosquito bites on his arms are scars sustained during his globe-trotting adventures.
* InUniverseCamera: Every episode is supposedly a video Talltales and his unseen assistant create themselves to 'promote' Talltales's latest 'heroics'.
