""You. Are. ADORABLE!""
 * The Alcoholic: Irv is on the record as saying he can't live without excessive amounts of alcohol.
 * Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: Inverted. Joe complained that there were twelve things he did that day that were better than the ending to Hitman. The top three: going to the bathroom, eating lunch, and getting in a gunfight with Morgan Freeman.
 * Art Evolution: Seen as the strip progresses. Actually lampshaded in the Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist strip, where someone said Joe's art was getting too complex. The resulting comic was simpler as a result.
 * Author Avatar: Not only of Joe, but of Irv, another Digital Pimp member.

 * Joe has a number of names picked out that fall under this trope-but he takes back Potato-Eating Mick Dunn.
 * Back Stab: When all else fails, stab the Grimace.
 * Badass: Ben Kenobi. He was really the one to kill Greedo.
 * Uwe Boll. Among other things, he's Cloverfield. And that's why he doesn't care that you hate his movies.

 * Even the Guys Want Him: Morgan Freeman, apparently.
 * Fan Disillusionment: Joe after seeing the first Fantastic Four movie. The Nostalgia Filter won out quickly, though.
