''All The Wrong Dudes'' is a 48,000-word story by [[Tropers/Johnny Lurg|Johnny Lurg]] about a series of unfortunate events ([[A Series of Unfortunate Events|no, not those ones]]) taking place in an [[Alternate Universe]] where [[Awesome McCoolname|nearly all surnames are strange]], [[San Francisco]] has produced three Republican US Presidents, and Hell and Earth are very closely intertwined. It's a [[Mind Screw]] with [[Loads and Loads of Characters]] and [[Rule of Three|few official chapters]].
It can be read in its entirety [https://web.archive.org/web/20100623000531/http://popeyesquirm.wordpress.com/all-the-wrong-dudes-a-novel/ here].

* [[All Guys Want Sorority Women]]: Kirk lusts after two blonde sorority girls: Shirley Feg (who he loses to Melvin Snix) and Jezebel (who he wins).
* [[Awesome McCoolname]]: Many. Some are puns (Lou Zirre, Dan Druff) and others have gibberish surnames (Melvin Snix and the "troper namer" himself, Johnny Lurg)
* [[
* [[Black Comedy]]: Most of the novel consists of nothing but black comedy, which sometimes turns into [[Dead Baby Comedy]], especially where the Eunuch Colony and Jezebel's bizarre sexual fetishes are involved.

* [[Nice Jewish Boy]]: Melvin Snix, although he later becomes an evangelical Christian.
* [[Really Gets Around]]: Jezebel, Keef's alleged half-sister, and her "boy toy" Kirk "Scummbag" M'Caine exemplify this trope. You might think it's a good thing they found each other, but [[Double Standard|Kirk doesn't want Jezebel to be as promiscuous as he is]].
