History Webcomic / ExploitationNow

* {{Broken Bird}}: Jordan once you learn of her past.
* [[CoversAlwaysLie Cast Pages always Lie]]: Jordan's provided cast page during the original run said that she was the only one smart enough to have a no-nudity clause in her contract. While this got her out of a [=NSFW=] tentacle scene (the in-story reason being the monster had a fetish for Asian girls), she was eventually shown topless.

* EveryoneHasStandards: Bimbo, the porn star, finds some of Ralph's more excessive sexual activities, like his excessive nightly masturbation and watching porn with breakfast, to be disturbing.

* [[spoiler: {{Killed Off For Real}}: Bush]]

* MadScientist: Jordan

* KillSat: Mere child's play for Jordan to hack one [[spoiler: [[{{Chekhovs Gun}} and becomes a major plot point later on.]]]]

* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: Bush questions this to a tentacle monster when its waiting for a female swordswoman to finish her transformation. He thinks about then [[RuleOfCool tells her not to mention it again]].

* BilingualBackfire: One comic had Jordan and Bush hitching a ride on a bus full of Asian girls from an anime con. One of the girls in front of them notices the two and seeing Bush, thinking she a fellow Asian (since Bush is half Asian) starts to mock Jordan in her native tongue thinking Jordan can't understand her. However it turns out Bush can't understand the language but Jordan ''can'' and quickly lets the girl know she not amused.
* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: Jordan confronts the agency that ruined her life and manages to destroy their headquarters. But Bush is unfortunately killed in the process.]]

''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]].

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

* KillSat: Mere childsplay for Jordan to hack one [[spoiler: [[{{Chekhovs Gun}} and becomes a major plot point later on.]]]]

* NoEnding: Well sort of, the comic does bring a conclusion to Jordan struggle against the agency that ruined her life. But it just sorta...stops after that with no follow up.

* NaughtyTentacles: Cthulhu in an earlier strip and Lord Naughtinus later on.

** Which can be HypocrticalHumor considering, you know, nothing's stopping Poe from drawing said art.

* MyNameIsNotDurwood: Ralph gets this a lot on the nature of his species.

* NoEnding: Well sort of, the comic does bring a conclusion to Jordan struggle against the agency that ruined her life. But it just sorta...stops after that.

** It's sort of a NonIndicativeName though since most people (and dictionaries) use 'bimbo' as a term for a BrainlessBeauty and Bimbo is relatively smart.
