Tankmen is a series created by JohnnyUtah, started in 2006. It stars a Captain who is actually the new look of the Tankmen on the NG Logo, and his comrade, Steve, who looks like the old version of the Tankman on the Old NG Logo. It is mostly known for its constant "Cock Jokes" and crude humor. It is set in a post-appocalyptic world, as depicted by the background of the usual Newgrounds preloader and shows an ongoing conflict between Captain's group and a rival military group who look similar, but have points on their helmets. The series was an immediate hit and has spawned sequels and parodies.
Storylines and content
JohnnyUtah has used all kinds of ironical situations to make the war the two sides are in humorous but as the series has progressed it and its parodies are most known for crude humour and, as the references always say "cock jokes". Tankmen has a running joke where one of the people states "I'm going to be a dad" followed by something killing them or someone says "He was going to be a dad" as soon as that person has been killed.
Tankmen Theme song
Tom Fulp held a contest for making a Tankmen Theme song. Episode 1.5 told everyone who had won the contest by having the winners name in the Audio Credit area. However, ironically the song has not been used in one of the episodes yet, only some parodies.
Parodies
Once the first episode was released there was a wide spread of parodies.
Reception on Newgrounds
Each of JohnnyUtah's series has had immediate success, with a string of awards and top scores through judgment.
