History Webcomic / Oglaf

* Suggested by a prospective buyer in "[[https://www.oglaf.com/mistytwinkle/ Misty Twinkle]]" when the seller of a magical horse warns him of certain doom if he does "the thing" with the horse, but won't explain what "the thing" is, to lower the chances of it happening. The seller is so disgusted by the suggestion he withdraws the sale of the horse.

* FaceDeathWithDignity: The chase victim in [[https://www.oglaf.com/use-item/ Use Item]], upon finding herself cornered [[spoiler:and her summoning items non-functional, just gives her pursuers the location of HonestJohnsDealership so they don't buy any of the same cons.]]

* JerkassGenie: He'll grant any wish, but will cut off your legs if you don't make the one he ''wants'' you to make.

* RealityBreakingParadox: Happens in "[[http://oglaf.com/evensong/ Evensong]]," where a monk prays to God to answer this prayer by not answering this prayer.

* GuysAreSlobs: [[ImpliedTrope Implied]] in "Dark Miasma," as one of the titles the [[TestosteronePoisoning extra-manly]] Kronar thinks of himself as the magic of the sorceress' scented candles is beginning to overtake him is "Frequent bather".

* KnightsAndKnaves: Add ExactWords and season with a pair of [[HonestJohnsDealership unscrupulous merchants]], and you get [[https://www.oglaf.com/knightsandknaves/ this]]

** Of the AndroclesLion, [[http://www.oglaf.com/kindlyhunter/1/ specifically, the Kindly Hunter variation]].

* EmotionEater: "With Sympathy" introduces a wraith-thing that [[http://oglaf.com/withsympathy/ feeds on fear]]. [[spoiler:Notably because it ''actually eats their fear'', the victim is left a FearlessFool.]]

* EpicFail: "[[http://oglaf.dreamhosters.com/bilge/ Bilge]]": A village builds their own boat to take revenge on the Viking raiders who destroyed them before. Unfortunately, the [[OnlySaneMan leader of the village]] points out that they have no actual experience in shipbuilding, so the result is a comedically dismal failure. Taking the resulting "craft" in the water fails so badly that (somehow) [[EpicFail the boat catches fire all on its own]] without the Vikings doing anything.

* JustSoStory: [[http://oglaf.com/justso/ This wide-eyed youth seems fond of telling them.]] Referenced by both the comic title, "Just So," and the TitleText which gives his name as Rudyard.

** Discussed [[http://oglaf.com/fully-fleshed/ here]].

** In the two-strip story "The Virgin Cobbler", the highly skilled title character tells her aristocratic clients that her skills are empowered by her virginity. [[spoiler:One comely female client sets out to ensure that none of her rivals will ever acquire more stylish footwear than her own by deflowering the cobbler. (Lesbian is assumed to count here.) The cobbler seems quite happy with that and then goes off to buy a potion of virginity restoration. The punchline is that the cobbler knows that the potion is just sugar water, just like cobbling skill comes from talent and practice. She and the potion vendor share an opinion of rich people.]]

** Only virgins can see the Enchanted City of Vanorva. Because of this, the entire population is celibate, to avoid accidentally depopulating the place. If a supposed slut somehow enters the city (even if the sex activities were not consensual, [[ButtMonkey as most of Ivan's were not]]), there is widespread panic. Except, blowjobs don't count... nor does [[ComicSutra flang]]. The jury's still out on anal. Ivan tried to convince Navaan it was okay (implying that he's had it done to him), but she had second thoughts [[spoiler:after seeing the soldiers looking for them]].

* ComicallyMissingThePoint: One of the disciples of Sithrak dies and goes to meet his god -- who tells him that the eternity of torture isn't going to happen and returns him to life so he can tell everyone to stop freaking out about it. The disciple tells his impressed friend that Sithrak is eviler than they realized -- he plays mind games on humanity too.

* AgonyOfTheFeet: "Hewing" has a pair of men decide to have a threesome with a tree [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext to incorporate the job of one]] - after the fun, they look over and see a severed leg sitting on the bed next to the log.

* BarBrawl: {{Subverted|Trope}} in [[https://www.oglaf.com/ron/ "Ron the Brawler"]] - two individuals get "Big Ron, the ultimate tavern brawler" to fight with what appears to be three thieves. However, Ron turns out to be uncomfortable with fighting ''outside'' of a tavern since he's never done that before, so they all go to a tavern for a drink and Ron drinking with them leads him to still refuse to fight the thieves since "Nah, these guys are cool".

** In "Mile-High Club", Zeus wants to take the form of a swan and have sex with a mortal woman. She's not keen on the idea, so he's persuaded to take the form of a mole instead - its poor vision means he doesn't notice when she's replaced by Hermes in a wig.

* EquivalentExchange: Done in "Alterations and Repairs". The blonde with a hat asks a man to alleviate this [[ItRunsOnNonsensoleum by having sex with her until the pants puff up bigger, out of fear they may get even smaller and cause her to not be wearing pants]]. The man accepts while being pretty sure that pants don't work that way. They find out that this somehow ''did'' made her pants bigger - unfortunately for the man, the blonde with a hat ([[{{Troll}} being as she normally is]]) failed to mention that apparently the pants work by this trope and he only realizes his own pants have become a thong in turn as he pulls them up and the blonde runs off. The AltText continues the concept by saying "These bermuda shorts used to be a bermuda triangle".

* AFateWorseThanDeath: Mistress is fond of coming up with these - at least when her laser-falcon doesn't ruin them.

* GenderBender: The wizard in "Cornwalling", and also the effect of the [[http://www.oglaf.com/fountain-of-girl Fountain of Girl]]. The nerds in "Babes of the Abyss" had this as the price they paid for getting to sleep with sexy devil girls - [[DemonOfHumanOrigin becoming a sexy devil girl themselves]]. None of them seem that broken up about it, or maybe they just got used to it.

** In "Remains of the Day", the Curse wraith inflicts a curse on a man where his orgasm will splash on the face of the person he's thinking of at climax - so he resolves to think of the Curse wraith from then on. [[spoiler:In a double-twist, the man becomes unable to climax ''without'' [[ILoveTheDead thinking about skulls]], but luckily there are clubs for that... but the prices there are ''outrageous''! [[XanatosGambit And guess who owns the clubs...?]]]]

** Two adventurers get trapped by an owlbear, and the male adventurer who had studied herbivores decides to deal with it in the only rational way - [[MateOrDie out-breed it]], because at least some of their offspring would live. [[StrangeMindsThinkAlike The female adventurer thinks it's a]] ''great'' idea, only for the owlbear to successfully turn the man off [[CrazyEnoughToWork by saying un-sexy words]], foiling their plan.

** The epilogue to the strip sees the woman meet another woman who also has a boob window. When they stare at each otehr's chests it creates a DrosteImage of cleavage that hypnotises both of them

** The epilogue to the sript sees the woman meet another woman who also has a boob window. When they stare at each otehr's chests it creates a DrosteImage of cleavage that hypnotises both of them

* {{Underboobs}}: The Snow Queen's outfit, presumably for easy access since almost all of her appearances have her welcoming someone into her boudoir, and considering what has to happen for spring to [[JustForPun come around]].

** [[https://www.oglaf.com/bishop-love-god/ This strip]] features a king and queen who were married for political reasons but hate it. They ask a bishop of the goddess of love to pray that they love each other but he points out that they ''hate'' each other for [[DeconstructedTrope legitimate reasons that won't go away]] just because they love each other.

''[[https://www.oglaf.com/archive/ Oglaf]]'' is an often seriously {{NSFW}} webcomic by Trudy Cooper & Doug Bayne (otherwise known as "Rattleplank" or on {{Website/YouTube}} as "Safetyhammer"). Most of the episodes (called "stories") are single non-sequential pages, though some stretch out longer; the very first one was eight pages long. The comic started out as a gag-a-week work, but slowly started including longer {{Story Arc}}s, most of the time focusing on Ivan and his never-ending torment at the hands of Mistress and Sandoval, the Ambassador of Xoan. In addition to this there were the misadventures of Navaan, a sex-starved vampire who became a BackAlleyDoctor, and Grier, a no-nonsense lesbian mercenary. These arcs appeared to be (very) slowly coming together into a single overarching plot until [[AbortedArc they didn't]] and the series went back to its gag-a-week format.
