Webcomic: The B-Movie Comic
aka: B Movie Comic

The B-Movie Comic is based on a long, proud history of So Bad, It's Good movies. It mostly follows the exploits of a Ragtag Bunch of Misfits who have thus far been engaged in fighting mummies and zombies (though this story-line appears to be mostly concluded, we'll have to wait and see what comes next). This does change a little bit when a lot of the main characters disappear /die for a large chunk near the end of this arc, only to be replaced by another set of mistfits, who promptly disappear when the originals came back from the dead.

The originals include Professor Dr., Snuka, Biff Boffenheimer, and Mopey.

The B-Movie Comic provides examples of:

General tropes

The Chew Toy (Lee, who plays Snuka)
DVD Commentary
No Budget (the director is aplty-named Nolan Nobucks)
The Rant: One of the major interests of the comic. Without it, many of the visual jokes in the page would be lost.
Special Effects Failure: In-Universe
Stylistic Suck: lots of it.

Tropes in the first movie "Revenge of Rutentuten":

Insulted Awake
Mummy
The Coroner Doth Protest Too Much: The Pharaoh and his queen's deaths.

Tropes in the second movie, "Attack of the [Description withheld in order not to spoil the surprise]Angels.":

Note: The actual title is revealed at the end

(SPOILER!) to be Attack of the invisible zombies from outer space.

Alien Invasion
An Aesop
Anvilicious: In-Universe here.
Arc Fatigue: The second movie's storyline lasted a good four years. Which is considerably longer than the first chapter was.
Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever
Batman
Dropped a Bridge on Him: Snuka.
From a Certain Point of View
Invisible Streaker: In order for Snuka to be invisible.
Lonely Funeral
Masked Luchador: El Lightning Blue.
Shoot the Messenger
Stripperific: Snuka spends most of the story arc wearing what amounts to a workout bra and jeans that are so baggy they might as well just be leg warmers.
Villain Decay: In-Universe.
Wondrous Ladies Room
You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: The informer at the end's Sequel Hook.
Zombie Apocalypse

Tropes in the third movie "20,000 leeks below the surface of the ocean":

Atlantis (in the form of a Domed Hometown Underwater City)
Axis Powers Hetalia: here.
Blah Blah Blah: Captain Emo's rank as heard by Sephy.
Daydream Surprise: Ludicrous speed here.
Intellectually Supported Tyranny
Not As You Know Them: In this chapter, many of the characters like Mopey and Buff look noticeably completely different. This can usually be expected from a B-movie sequel.
The Remnant: On the island of Toblerone.
Retirony
Sea Monster
Smoking Hot Sex: Mopey's flashback.
Welcome to Corneria: There are many guards in the castle... and no castle.

Tropes in the fourth movie "Earth vs. Uranus"

Alien Invasion
As You Know
Dirty Communists
Dumb Blonde: Biff's current girlfriend, Bustimena Cuntessa Putasestupida, aka Busty, is on the same intellectual level as him.
Fake Real Turn: The good guys set up a fake poll to get information from the henchmen, and when Prof. Dr. notices they have almost enough data to make it a real poll (and get credit for the university), he decides it would be a waste to stop now.
Gag Boobs: Busty's chest is her most important feature (and gets more screentime — and lines — than her head).
Middle Management Mook: Dr. Ray Infinity Kobras.
The Other Darrin: Prof. Dr. (well not exactly: it's still the same actor, but they're no longer bothering with the heavy makeup, so the effect is the same).
This Is No Time to Panic: This page and the next one, when Prof. Dr. states whose disappearance is or isn't cause for panic.
Recycled Set: The Silhouette Mountain set.
Red Herring
Sequel Escalation: This movie has a mountain 81 times as tall as Silhouette Mountain.
