Joe Dirt	comment	A 2001 comedy film starring David Spade as the eponymous mullet-wearing janitor, who's invited to be on a talk show, initially to be made fun of. However he begins recounting his life story and the movie showcases his journey to find his parents as he narrates, meeting a host of oddball characters along the way. Although the film was panned by critics, it was a modest box office success and was generally well-liked by those who watched it.In 2010 TBS was set to develop an animated series based on Joe Dirt (with David Spade returning to voice the title character) but the project never made it out of Development Hell.In 2014, Spade revealed that he had written a sequel for the movie that would premiere through Crackle's online streaming service. Joe Dirt 2: Beautiful Loser premiered on July 16, 2015, with Spade and several actors reprising their roles from the previous movie. Happily Married with Brandy and now a father of three, Joe finds himself losing it all and somehow lands in the past, meeting some familiar faces as he tries to get his family back while striving to become a man truly worthy of his wife and children.

Joe Dirt / int_134c959d	comment	For the Funnyz: Dirt tells the audience that after he finds out Jill is not his sister, he's less attracted to her; when they pretend that she is his sister, he gets his mojo back. The audience reels in horror, but Joe made it up just to mess with them.

Joe Dirt / int_a1a1491e	comment	Homage: This film is basically Forrest Gump with a lot more toilet humor. Both films have a similar framing device (the protagonist telling his life story to people), both Joe and Forrest meet several interesting characters in their lives and ultimately have a positive impact on those they meet, and even the love interests are similar. Forrest spends his life pining over his childhood friend Jenny, while Joe comes to realize that he only ever truly felt at home was when he was with Brandy. This is lampshaded in the sequel's opening scene, which takes place in front of a bus stop.
