Line 1: {{~~trope~~work}} [[File:Movie-Posters-Joe-Dirt--2001--245223_8885.jpg\|frame]] A'''''Joe Dirt''''' is a 2001 film staring [[David Spade]] as a mullet wearing janitor who's invited to be on a talk show, initially to be made fun of. However he begins recounting his life story and the movie showcases his journey to find his parents as he narrates, meeting a host of oddball characters along the way. Not one of Spade's better films, but a pretty good comedy nonetheless. ---- {{tropelist}} ~~'''Tropes:'''~~ * [[Actor Allusion]]: In the end of the movie, Clem has adopted the name Gert B. Frobe, named after the actor who played the titular [[James Bond (Film)\|Bond]] villain in ''[[Goldfinger (Film)\|Goldfinger]]''. [[Christopher Walken]], who played Clem/Gert, has also played a Bond villain, namely Max Zorin in ''[[A View to A Kill (Film)\|A View to A Kill]]''. * [[All Girls Want Bad Boys]]: Joe plays this up for one girl (Jamie Pressley). * [[Awesome McCoolname]]: Joe suggests that Kicking Wing changes his name to "Kicking Ass". Dirt would've done the same. Line 23 ⟶ 21: * [[I'm Melting]]: Joe and Kicking Wing discover an atom bomb and decide to shoot a Roman Candle at it. It explodes, and the charred remains shaped like Kicking Wing catch on the wind and blow away. {{spoiler\|It's a hallucination Joe has when he stumbles and hits the back of his head on a rock. And the "bomb" is really just an old septic tank that someone put a biohazard sticker on.}} * [[It Is Pronounced "Tro-PAY"]] {{quote\| '''Joe:''' Comin' in to work. Joe ''Dier-tay'''.~~<br />~~ '''Security Guard:''' Don't try to church it up son, don't you mean Joe DIRT? }} * [[Jerkass]]: Almost everyone to Joe. Especially Brandy's ex-boyfriend. Line 32 ⟶ 30: * [[Noodle Incident]]: Joe's abduction by Buffalo Bob is assumed to be much, ''much'' worse by everyone who brings it up to Joe. * [[One-Liner, Name. One-Liner.]] {{quote\| '''Zander Kelly:''' Welcome home, Joe. Welcome home.}} * [[Parental Abandonment]]: Joe's parents "accidentally" left him on a trip to the Grand Canyon. Even when they realized he wasn't in the car, they didn't bother to turn back to get him. * [[Playing Against Type]]: David Spade playing the nice guy, for once. * [[Quip to Black]]: When Joe is trapped in a hot-air balloon for a local dentist's shop with no way to control it, he shouts, "Hey, boss! I'm going on break!" when it drifts away. * [[Roadside Wave]] Line 40 ⟶ 37: * [[Surprise Incest]]: Joe briefly thought a girl he slept with at a carnival was his sister. * [[This Is My Story]]: Joe tells his life story in Zander Kelly's radio show. * [[Timmy in Aa Well]] * [[True Companions]]: {{spoiler\|Joe eventually settles for this with Brandy, Clem, Jill, and Kicking Wing}}. * [[~~Walk~~Walking the Earth]]: Joe, in his journey to find his parents. * [[Was It All a Lie?]]: {{spoiler\|Brandy told Joe that his parents died years ago. Later, after finding out they're alive and uncaring, Joe asks why she lied about his parents. She did it to protect him because they were horrible people.}} * [[What Happened to ~~The~~the Mouse?]]: Joe's little sister who kept calling him "Joe Dirt" non-stop. ** Clearly the girl from the carnival was mistaken.
