''Exploitation Now'' was the first {{webcomic}} from Michael Poe (Creator of ''Webcomic/ErrantStory'' and ''Webcomic/DoesNotPlayWellWithOthers'') that ran from 2000 to 2002 on ''Website/{{Keenspot}}''. Initially the comic followed in namesake in the form of two characters: Ralph Givememore (definitely not a [[Franchise/FinalFantasy Moogle]]) and [[MsFanservice Bimbo Moneymaker]]. Two roommates who pretty much messed around with each other while making as many sexual jokes as possible. Soon, another character, Jordan Kennedy, a very sarcastic self proclaimed "EvilGenius" joins them and not long after Bimbo's sister, Bush Moneymaker, is brought into the cast. However the [[SpotlightStealingSquad latter two characters soon started to become the focus of the comic as more of Jordan's backstory was known]]. And the series quickly [[CerebusSyndrome took a dark turn]].

* AnimatedActors: Strips with a weaker fourth wall tend to show the cast treating it as a day job, doing things like complaining about scripts and such. This ultimately seals Bimbo and Ralph's final fate as they attempt to go on strike for better conditions, only to be fired and replaced by scab workers.
* ExplainExplainOhCrap: The first time Babylon Jones appears in the comic, Jordan is initially friendly and comments how she heard Jones was going back into assassinations before realizing that meant she was Jones' current target.
* TemptingFate: After getting fired at the end of Act 3, Bimbo and Ralph try taking it in stride, figuring they'd get hired back eventually since they didn't believe the comic would be ending anytime soon. Act 4 turned out to be the end.

Not enough context; merely reaching a certain age is not enough.

* ChristmasCake: Bimbo is pretty much in denial that she's reached her 30s, and it's something of a BerserkButton if someone brings it up as Ralph found out the hard way.

* AbortedArc: Babylon Jones was likely intended to get a spin-off comic, given the amount of hint dropping that [[spoiler:she's Bimbo and Bush's sister Barbara Ann who ran away from home after shooting up her school in retaliation for being raped and that the magical girl parody Bunny is her younger sister Usagi either aged up or from the future having been trained to kill her by some unknown parties.]] However, Act Four rolled through with only a few cameos by Jones and the idea hasn't been touched since.
