History Film / JMenForever

* TheBigRottenApple: Faced with the destruction of The Big Apple, the police engage in contract negotiations while the Mayor decides he should be the first to be evacuated. When The Chief is told that the Lightning Bug has been destroyed at the cost of New York City being wiped off the map, he declares it, "A double victory!"

* TheBigRottenApple: The Chief celebrates the end of the Lightning Bug and the destruction of New York City as "A double victory!"

* StonerFlick: Yes, the Bug's into drugs! After his rock & roll invasion fails, the Lightning Bug decides to import hash oil to corrupt America, eventually launching a huge hash missile at [[strike:Lost]] Los Angeles. Fortunately Rocket Jock disregards his personal feelings about the city and destroys the missile, getting a faceful of hash smoke in the process.
-->'''Rocket Jock:''' "Makes me feel like I'm flyyyyiiiiiiiing!!!"

-->'''Mook:''' "But [[YoureInsane you're mad]] -- the Moon is being destroyed!"

** During a fight scene The Lone Star decides that "I'll just leap on this creep!"

* SpikesOfDoom: How Agent [[MeaningfulName Spike]] meets his demise, caught between them and an AdvancingWallOfDoom.

* OlderThanTheyThink: The Lightning Bug dresses up in his "Darth Vader costume" when he goes out to bomb people in his flying wing. The scene being gag-dubbed is from 1938 serial ''The Fighting Devil Dogs'', and it's been speculated that the costume worn by the supervillain was an inspiration for Vader's look, given that Creator/GeorgeLucas is a fan of film serials.

* LoudOfWar: The Bug's rock and roll runs cars off the road, destroys buildings and eventually the Moon after he cranks up his stereo too loud.

* ThePowerOfRock: Rock broadcasts from the Lightning Bug's moonbase are powerful enough to cause cars to crash, buildings to collapse, and record moguls to commit suicide. [[spoiler:Finally the [[EarthShatteringKaboom moon itself is destroyed]] when the Lightning Bug cranks up his hi-fi too loud.]]

* SexDrugsAndRockAndRoll: After listening to "Don´t Touch Me There" by The Tubes, Juicy Withers says, "This kind of music could get me pregnant."

* SexDrugsAndRockAndRoll
-->'''Juicy Withers:''' "This kind of music could get me pregnant."

** Sombra sending the Bug back to the Moon in a [[SmokeOut puff of smoke]]. "Now here's some smoke in your face, to send you back into Space."

** The Bug about to blow up M.U.S.A.C. headquarters. "I'm the Lightning, and here's a hit that's frightening! And I'm gonna get those beanbags working at the J-Man's M.U.S.A.C. Command! Here comes a song, and you'll soon be gone! It's gonna be a smash--be over in a flash. So long, trash!"
* SpikesOfDoom: How Agent Spike meets his demise, caught between them and an AdvancingWallOfDoom.

* DisproportionateRetribution: Creator/JohnWayne goes round bombing anyone who might be smoking marijuana.

** The wizard who comes out of the john to speak to Billy Batchit says he's a member of the Privy Council, and departs saying, "May the Flush be with you!"

* CliffhangerCopout: Lampshaded at the end when Agent Barton mourns the J-Men who died in order to take down the evil Lightning Bug. The Chief just laughs, and we get a montage of Cliffhanger cop-outs showing that [[NotQuiteDead all the J-Men survived their predicaments]].

-->'''Admiral Ballsy:''' A flood of senseless, sensual music has been drowning out every sensible speaker in the city.

Creator/TheFiresignTheatre's most successful production beyond its audio work was this GagDub homage to the Republic {{Film Serial}}s of the 1930-50s, consisting of several serials spliced together into absurdity. The villainous [[BigBad Lightning Bug]] schemes to conquer the Earth with SexDrugsAndRockAndRoll, and only the J-Men -- a dedicated team of tight-assed straights...err, [[LanternJawOfJustice straight-jawed]] [[SuperheroesWearTights men-in-tights]] -- can stop him!
