[[File:cover-exploitationnow-lg-2_8570.jpg|frame|[[Exactly What It Says
''Exploitation Now'' was the first [[Web Comic]] from Michael Poe (Creator of ''[[Errant Story]]'' and ''[[Does Not Play Well With Others]]'') that ran from 2000 to 2002 on ''[[Keenspot]]''. Initially the comic followed in namesake in the form of two characters: Ralph Givememore, definitely not a [[Final Fantasy|Moogle]] and [[Ms. Fanservice|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

* [[Arm Cannon]]/[[Artificial Limbs]]: Jordan's left arm.
* [[Bilingual Backfire]]: 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.
Line 26 ⟶ 25:
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Gee no points for guessing why she's named Bimbo.
** It's sort of a [[Non-Indicative Name]] though since most people (and dictionaries) use 'bimbo' as a term for a [[Brainless Beauty]] and Bimbo is relatively smart.
** Also the comic itself explains that she's named Bimbo because her mother is not a native English-speaker and does not make good decisions while high on hospital-grade painkillers. It's the same reason her sisters have similarly embarrassing names. Bimbo is more accurately Ms. Fanservice because she's the sort of person that, when faced with the need to make rent, decides to star in a few porno movies rather than get a real job or do a zany get-rich-quick scheme.
* [[My Name Is Not Durwood]]: Ralph gets this a lot on the nature of his species.
* [[Naughty Tentacles]]: Cthulhu in an earlier strip and Lord Naughtinus later on.
Line 31:
* [[Refuge in Audacity]]
* [[Road Show]]: Most of the focus on Jordan and Bush is them traveling.
* [[Shout
* [[Spotlight-Stealing Squad]]: Became pretty obvious halfway through the strip's run that Poe preferred messing with Jordan.
** [[Lampshaded]] heavily in the comic itself when Bimbo and Ralph are actually shocked when the comic returns to featuring them for awhile. This carried over into ''[[Does Not Play Well With Others]]'', which had Naga and Fran panic OOCly when Jordan showed up, absolutely certain she'd usurp main character status. (They were right.)
* [[Webcomic Time]]: Jordan takes the time to divulge her backstory during a shootout ''which took two months to get through''.
* [[Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?]]: Bush questions this to a tentacle monster when its waiting for a female swordswoman to finish her transformation. He thinks about then [[Rule of Cool|tells her not to mention it again]].
