[[caption-width-right:300:Our hero, in all his stomping glory.]]

->''Hardback can feel good about these stomps as Bully attempts to murder him for charity. ''
-->--LetsPlay/{{Supergreatfriend}}'s ringside commentary for a typical Bully Demise match.

''The Life and Times of Bully Demise'' is a LetsPlay series by LetsPlay/{{Supergreatfriend}} starring his original character Bully Demise, the eight-foot-tall, sixteen-year-old aspiring professional wrestler.

The series is about Bully Demise's rise to become the World Champion Wrestler (albeit with a number of detours along the way) spanning several [=MDickie=] games and one WWE Game.

* The series starts in ''Wrestling Revolution'', chronicling the creation of Bully and his attempts to get a contract. It... doesn't go terribly well for him.
* It continues in ''VideoGame/HardTime'', wherein Bully is sent to prison for his misconduct. But Bully won't let that keep him down!
* Next is ''VideoGame/TheYouTestament'', whereupon Bully wakes up in a strange place. He meets a traveler by the name of UsefulNotes/{{Jesus}}, who teaches Bully about his religious philosophies. And also how to set things on fire with his mind.
* Then, in ''Wrecked'', Bully finds himself somehow stranded on a remote island, where he must fight for survival and where people turn into meat if you punch them hard enough.
* Finally, in ''[[VideoGame/WWEVideoGames WWE 2K14]]'', Bully makes his way back to the world and finally has a shot at his lifelong dream; winning the WWE title belt! But this turns out to be more difficult than he ever could have imagined when mysterious circumstances befall the WWE...
* At some point (shortly before his WWE debut?) Bully stars in a wrestling-school VisualNovel romance.

The series can be watched [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLaSPgE4K0SB2iKlr4QjEXFPrRBBMcKicH here.]]

!!This series contains examples of:
* AdaptationalVillainy: Several of the characters who appear in ''[=WWE 2K14=]'' from previous parts are reinterpreted, both to fit the narrative SGF is going for and to reflect how they acted during his playthroughs.
** Coach Emerson is a supportive, if realistic, mentor in ''Wrestling Revolution'', but is revealed to be [[spoiler:a control freak who sabotages upstart wrestlers that refuse to give in to his costume suggestions.]]
** The Mystic in ''Wrecked'' is very antagonistic, but he ultimately is trying to guide the player character towards salvation. [[spoiler:He's actually the sorcerer who attempted to summon The Shadow in [[VideoGame/{{D}} D2]].]]
* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:At the end of Bully's journey, he finally won the title from Undertaker (Retro), but at the behest of Wrestling/AndreTheGiant (another form of Bully's old friend UsefulNotes/{{Jesus}}), his deceased parents and the late Wrestling/TheBigShow, had to surrender it - and his life - to close the gap that was allowing the undead to rise and plot against humanity. On the plus side, he gets to stomp all manners of Eldritch monsters on the other side of the veil, a fact he greatly enjoys.]]
* CanonWelding: ''WWE 2K14'' features characters and elements from almost everything SGF played that was part of and prior to ''The Life And Times Of Bully Demise'' saga.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}:
** Owing in no small part to SGF's unique sense of humor, Bully Demise does not have the firmest grasp on the world around him.
** Vince [=McMahon=] gets a bit of this too, having apparently tried to use stomps as payment for taxes, and when Santino is murdered, he believes that if the murderer is defeated, he can be ''banned from murder''. Jorg [[FlatWhat gives an appropriate response]].
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Bully Demise [[spoiler: interprets information that he gets in WWE 2K14 that he must stop an evil force that dates back to the time of dinosaurs as meaning that it’s up to him to save the dinosaurs.]]
* CompositeCharacter:
** Jorg from ''VideoGame/Illbleed'' and York from ''VideoGame/DeadlyPremonition'' are made the same character in ''WWE 2K14''.
** The mystic from ''Wrecked'' [[spoiler:is The Evil One from ''D2''.]]
* ContinuityPorn: The [=WWE 2K14=] story not only references the events of the previous games Bully Demise was played as, but also nearly ''every game'' that [=SuperGreatFriend=] had done a playthrough of on his channel up until that point.
* CoolMask: Bully Demise wears a silver Luchador mask over ''another'' mask. He's that cool. (Except in ''Hard Time'', where he wears a [[Film/TheDarkKnightRises Bane]] mask.)
* CouchGag: All of SGF's streams from the time have title cards showing the genre of the game that's about to be played, but ''The You Testament'' has it's genre switched in each part to things like "Accurate Bible Sim" and "[[Film/TheGreatestStoryEverTold Greatest Story Ever Told]]"
* DeathIsCheap: Bully Demise has apparently died, only to come back somewhere else, on multiple occasions.
* DesignatedHero: InUniverse - [=SuperGreatFriend=] sets Bully Demise as a face during character creation in ''Wrestling Revolution'', but he still brutally maims his opponents, uses foreign objects, and cheats. This leads to an unintentional deconstruction, as the crowd starts booing him regardless.
* {{Determinator}}: The reason Bully managed to come back to life is because of he wanted to win the World Title ''that badly''.
* EnemyWithout: [[spoiler:Killerman, a.k.a. "Killy Demise," apparently.]]
* EpicFail: Bully Demise [[spoiler: for the first three games in the series. He ends Wrestling Revolution tens of thousands of dollars in debt, evidently from buying the same sword over and over again and being unable to sign a contract. He ends Hard Time by being beaten to death by prison guards after having his sentence extended by seven days after serving three days, while trying to get back into prison after successfully breaking out. In The You Testament he gets sent to prison and then crucified. Even in Wrecked and WWE 2K14 he dies again and almost gets killed, respectively.]]
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Bully Demise stomping on Spunk Bloodily during his second match.
-->"This is what Bully Demise does. Just sort of walks on people.''
* FashionableAsymmetry: Bully wears one black boot and one white boot; he also has an extra armband on one arm. And he is, of course, the pinnacle of style. Even Big Show thought so!
* GarbageWrestler: When Bully Demise isn't repeatedly stomping on his opponents, he's usually stabbing them with his sword.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:The Big Show takes a Killerman laser to save Bully's life.]] And at the very end, [[spoiler:Bully himself passes to the great beyond to heal the rip in reality.]]
* IgnoredAesop: Bully learns that the villain Killerman [[spoiler:is actually “Killy Demise,” and that he is effectively Bully’s own rage made flesh. Bully wonders if he should learn a lesson from that, but decides to just stick Killy Demise in a coffin and not contemplate it further.]]
* HorrorHunger: [[AvertedTrope Averted]]. Bully Demise does kill and eat people during his time in Wrecked, but he isn't at all affected by it. When Bully makes his way back to the world of the living and tells his story, he brushes off any worries of him eating people again by pointing out he can go to a grocery store now.
* KungFuJesus: Jesus in The You Testament.
-->Jesus: ''I don’t bite, but I do hiss!''
-->Supergreatfriend: ''Really, Jesus? cause it looked like you were doing plenty of biting just now.''
* LastNameBasis: A strange example. Since [=SuperGreatFriend=] wanted to use The Undertaker's 70's appearance in ''[=WWE 2K14=]'', his name is shown as "Undertaker (Retro)". That is apparently his full name, and many other characters just call him "(Retro)".
* LordBritishPostulate: Abused in ''The You Testament''. Since Jesus is programmed to be an immortal pacifist, Bully Demise interprets his teachings to mean that he needs to beat the tar out of Jesus whenever possible.
* MassiveMultiplayerCrossover: The WWE 2014 LP contains, through the magic of the extensive character creator, cameos from many games that Supergreatfriend has LP'd in the past, including ''VideoGame/{{Illbleed}}'', ''VideoGame/{{MODE}}'', ''VideoGame/SpyFiction2003'' and many more. [[spoiler:And some characters make more than just cameo appearances...]]
* MundaneMadeAwesome: Professional wrestling. The Undertaker is the lord of the dead in his spare time, and he's mainly in the [=WWE=] to protect the World Title belt, which is the most powerful magical artifact in the entire universe.
* NightmareFace: Bully Demise in Judean Prison is [[http://i.imgur.com/hRn7RrE.png quite memorable]].
* PalsWithJesus:
** Bully and Jesus are tight.
** In fact, both Jesus and John the Baptist are crucified while wearing Bully Demise's eponymous t-shirt, due to Supergreatfriend having to mod Bully's costume in the game files as clothes that the [=NPCs=] can wear.
* PsychopathicManchild: Bully, especially in the [=MDickie=] games.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: In the last part of ''Wrecked'', [[spoiler:Bully Demise ends up dying off-camera, after SGF had spent so much time and effort working on the boat.]] He retorts by starting a new game, having Bully Demise remember [[CheatCode the powers Jesus taught him]], and killing ''every living thing on the island.''
-->"Bully Demise has cast judgement on this ecosystem, and he finds it wanting. He has decided it should not exist any more."
* SignatureMove: The almighty stomps, with which Bully Demise crushes his enemies and shows love for his fans.
* SquashMatch: Many of Bully Demise’s fights in ''Wrestling Revolution'', where Bully essentially walks on whoever's standing against him.
** This doesn't happen as often in ''[=WWE 2K14=]'', owing to those matches being AI against AI, but his fight with [[spoiler: [[VisualNovel/VirtuesLastReward Dio]]]] absolutely counts, since Supergreatfriend set them to have minimal combat stats because he and his fans hated the character and wanted to see them beaten thoroughly.
* StylisticSuck: The lasers [[spoiler: Killerman uses to kill Big Show.]]
* SurrealHorror: [[spoiler:The eighth episode of WWE 2K14, after Bully's apparent death... again.]]
* {{Tsundere}}: Type B. Before he’s even met her, a woman in Hard Time declares her love for Bully Demise. After he accepts her as his girlfriend, she aides him in one fight. The next day he accidentally hits her with a soccer ball and from there she tries to beat him and threatens to kill him.
* UnskilledButStrong: Bully was designed, due to how [[FakeDifficulty frustrating]] ''Wrestling Revolution'''s gameplay mechanics were, with a lot weight, power, and height, at the cost of skill: this essentially meant his playstyle revolved entirely around knocking an enemy down and then refusing to give them the opportunity to get up. An AI controlled Bully in ''WWE 2K14'', however, proves to be somewhat smarter.
* VillainProtagonist: For the first few games in the series, Bully doesn’t do anything remotely heroic. It’s not until the WWE 2K14 game that he becomes [[spoiler: the defender of the universe from the Mystic, Killerman, and the Shadow.]]
* YouDontLookLikeYou: Bully Demise in Hard Time looks nothing like Bully Demise in the rest of the series because Supergreatfriend was playing on the Ouya and couldn't customize his look.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: Bully is canonically ''sixteen years old'' despite being a hulking brute.
