Line 1:
{{work}}
For the trope this special is loosely based on see, [[Hooker
A five part internet special written and directed by [[The Cinema Snob
What follows in an incredibly well written and well edited homage to all of Brad Jones' favorite films genres, from exploitation to revenge to low budget snuff films that never saw the light of day (and thankfully never did). Jones' [[Crowning Music of Awesome|choice of soundtrack]] really steals the show though. His love of [[The Seventies|70's soul and disco]] to old school rock and roll to beloved hits of the [[The Eighties|

{{tropelist}}
* [[Acting for Two]]: Brad Jones, who plays brothers Zalman and Steele, two of the main villains.
* [[Action Girl]]: The hooker.
Line 17 ⟶ 16:
* [[Broken Bird]]: The hooker.
* [[Cast Incest]]: The actors who play Doctor Rogen and the hooker are married, as are the actors who play Steele/Zalman and Janet
* [[Damn, It Feels Good to Be
* [[The Danza]]: [[Mind Screw|Subverted]]. Dr. Rogen ''looks'' like [[Seth Rogen]], but is not played by him, a fact [[Word of God|even the director can't get his head around]].
* [[Danger Takes a Backseat]]: A hilariously casual version when {{spoiler|Steele sits up in the back of Doc's car in broad daylight}}.
Line 25 ⟶ 24:
* [[Drugs Are Bad]]: Averted. The Hooker's cocaine habit only seems to make her stronger. No [[Anvilicious]] statement here.
* [[Everythings Funkier With Disco]]: Pretty much every time there's a scene between The Hooker and Zalman, a funky disco record will be playing in the background.
* [[Eyepatch of Power]]: Steele.
* [[Heel Face Turn]]: {{spoiler|Don takes a while to get there, but in the end he shoots Steele in the back, allowing Dr. Rogen and The Hooker to live.}}
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: Ed Glaser plays a hitman who's the best at being the worst.
* [[Hookers and Blow]]: Subverted in that the Hooker is the one with the cocaine habit.
* [[Hooker
* [[Hope Spot]]: In part 2, it seems that things ''may'' end happily for Dr. Rogen and the Hooker... {{spoiler|but then we learn that Steele's involved now...}}
* [[Jerk
* [[Made From Real Girl Scouts]]
* [[Mean Character, Nice Actor]]: Pretty much the whole cast, but especially Brad Jones.
Line 37 ⟶ 36:
* [[Morality Pet]]: {{spoiler|Janet, for Steele}}
* [[Neighbourhood Friendly Gangsters]]: Dr. Rogen initially sees Steele and his boys this way... until about the third time they pulled a gun on him.
* [[Nintendo Hard]]: Zalman is fond of old really horrible NES video games and forces his accomplice to play them non-stop at gun point. A possible [[Shout-Out]] to [[
* [[Psycho for Hire]]: The trio of mercenaries who are the best at being the worst.
* [[Punch Clock Villain]]: Mattie and Don, who unlike the other bad guys don't seem to derive pleasure out of doing bad things all that much.
* [[Soundtrack Dissonance]]: Say, did you ever like Neil Young's "Heart of Gold"? {{spoiler|You won't after seeing Part 4!}}
* [[Shout-Out]]: Probably unintentional, but as you recall, The Hooker's cocaine habit ''makes her stronger'', like one [[Atop the Fourth Wall
** The three hitmen are all named after characters played by Pierre Kirby.
* [[Sorry I Left the BGM On]]: Happens when Janet is dancing for Steele.
