A defunct single-panel web comic by brothers Justin and Dan Pearl.

Many of the comics rely on subverting the established premise or the audience's expectations. Blood and violence are used liberally often crossing the line twice and frequently going with dude not funny style punchlines. The authors enjoy parodying religion and a wide array of other topics, such as movies, classic board games, and genies to name a few.

Compare The Perry Bible Fellowship.

Tropes used in Underpants Jail include:

Art Shift: can be seen in the genie.
Bait and Switch
Black Comedy
Bloody Hilarious: The amount of blood in some of the comics could save thousands of lives.
Crap Saccharine World: Time for an unlikely adventure!
God Is Evil: just ask Agnes.
Hypocritical Humor
Inverted Trope: the Obviously Evil Dr. Destructo.
It Makes Sense in Context:
Jerkass: Timmy should have been named abortion.
Kick the Dog: this one is literal.
Mood Dissonance
Pokémon: probably the only succesful use of a Pokémon based pickup line.
Refuge in Audacity
Rule of Funny
Running Gag: Timmy and Cupid.
Stylistic Suck: Sometimes Dan gets a bit lazy and spends five minutes on a panel...Sometimes Justin attempts to illustrate comics.
Subverted Trope: used quite often.
Talking Animal: See crap saccharine world above for an example.
There Can Be Only One: The Highlander.
Viewers Are Geniuses: I hope you like supernova, bacteria, and checkers based humor.
