Joe Loves Crappy Movies

Joe Loves Crappy Movies is a webcomic about an avid movie-goer, Joe Dunn, his friends and family, and commentary on movies and the movie industry. The comic also serves as a review of said movie covered in the strip. It can be found on the Digital Pimp website.

This comic provides examples of:

""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.
 * Awesome McCoolname: Switchblade Motorcross Dunn, the hypothetical child of Joe and Yeo.
 * 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.
 * Captain Obvious: Palpatine will insult you if you invoke this trope.
 * Catch Phrase: Parodied where EVERY role Samuel L Jackson plays ends in motherfucker.
 * Cloning Blues: Joe pondered what it would be like if he cloned himself so he could see a lot of movies at once. It didn't work: all of them went to see the same movie.
 * Cosplay: Joe and his friends when seeing the second Fantastic Four movie. Except Yeo. She went home.
 * The Halloween strips
 * Even George got one in when he shot Vanilla Ice for ripping off Under Pressure
 * Deal With the Devil: What Christopher Nolan did to get the cast of Batman Begins. When asked by Hitler if it was Worth It, Nolan replies that it totally was.
 * Disproportionate Retribution: Why Poseidon happened: Fergie was on board and God hates the Black Eyed Peas.
 * Drinking Game: Joe, Irv, and Yeo play one when they see The Pink Panther. The rules: take a sip when they lose respect for Steve Martin. 70 seconds later?
 * 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.
 * For Want of a Nail: Had Irv not gotten sick, everyone could have gotten tickets to the premiere of Mission Impossible 3.
 * Godwin's Law: Invoked when Irv asks why there aren't minority Terminators.
 * Groin Attack: Joerules vs. a stranger.
 * Joe vs a football. Twice. Then a guy in a football costume shoots him.
 * Hey It's That Guy: The Juno comic. Full stop
 * Ho Yay: Joe has a crush on John Cusack.
 * How Sydney Pollack got to film inside the UN building
 * Both Joe and Irv would bang Morgan Freeman.
 * They discuss how Val Kilmer can't help invoking this trope.
 * And Jason Statham
 * Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy: Their minds were blown when someone suggested hitting their target.
 * Jason Statham: And the list of people Joe wants to see him fight.
 * Killer Rabbit: Used as an example of what would be scary
 * Made of Explodium: The tiger sent by Michael Bay to attack a reporter that misquoted him. Which then transformed into a fire engine.
 * May-December Romance: Parodied when Tom Cruise brings out Dakota Fanning instead of Katie Holmes.
 * Mister Seahorse: The only two people Joe trusts enough to carry his child (if they need a surrogate) are Irv and Batman.
 * Mood Whiplash: the Up in The Air strip
 * No Fourth Wall: This is a world where Irv's best friend is Leondias, Captain Picard plays Iron Man on the Marvel vs. Capcom arcade game, and Joe's survived Saw twice!
 * One Steve Limit: Parodied in the Snakes on a Plane comic
 * Porn Stache: Joe notes that this was part of Burt Reynolds' appeal, and expresses horror when he shaves it. Yeo would still hit that.
 * Discussed here
 * Prison Rape: Hinted at when Joe goes to prison in The Longest Yard strip, and George in the Let's Go to Prison strip
 * The Rashomon: Lampshaded. It's ABOUT Rashomon
 * Real Men Wear Pink: Leo's spirit animal is Hello Kitty.


 * Rule of Cool: Why God's willing to overlook the You Fail Physics Forever in Star Trek
 * Why Joe wore the eyepatch after beating George
 * Running Gag: UH-DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHH!
 * NERD! *punches nerd in the stomach*
 * Why would you stab the Grimace?
 * So Bad It's Good: Joe's raison d'etre is to watch movies that fit this trope.


 * Snap Back: People have been beaten up, shot, and even killed - and are perfectly fine next strip.
 * Stuff Blowing Up: Michael Bay loves to do it.

 * They Fight Crime: Joe's idea of a more popular political film: have Palin and Obama do this.

 * The Unpronounceable: Invoked here

 * George attacked a movie theater that enjoyed Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector because of this trope.
 * What Could Have Been: Irv daydreams about Will Smith as Captain America
 * You Can Keep Her: Twice. Joe, knowing his hypothetical child would probably turn out an asshole like him, is on record as saying if either the devil or kidnappers took his kid, they can have her.
 * Your Head Asplode: Teleporting does this.
 * You Suck: Joe calls the public "retarded" when The Fog went number one.
