[[caption-width-right:262: Eric Approves.]]
A webcomic by Erik Schoenek. Started in 2001, went on hiatus in 2007. You find [[http://loserzcomic.comicgenesis.com/ the archive of strips up to 2004 here]]; a more recent site (bukucomics) [[SeriesHiatus was gone dead for some time]], came back, and now has gone dead again. Luckily, yet another archive can be found [[http://the-qlc.com/loserz/ here]].
A sequel comic (set a few real-time years after hiatus) has started and has a new website [[http://the-qlc.com here]]
The protagonists are three high school kids on a school in Michigan:
* Ben Winchester, a somewhat weird, but generally nice guy.
* Eric Remington, a typical nerd, fan of ''StarWars'', ''StarTrek'', ComicBooks, TabletopGames, ''LordOfTheRings'', VideoGames, and so on.
* Jodie Beretta, fun-loving bisexual, who's in a lasting platonic friendship with the two boys.
Not to be confused with SexyLosers.

* BlackBraAndPanties: Jessica wears them, while still a virgin. [[http://starship.slipshine.net/loserz/go/213 See here.]]
* BlankWhiteEyes
* BlatantLies: ManipulativeBastard Adam is an expert at this.

-->'''Carrie:''' I think those boobs give her powers.
* BottleFairy: Both Jodie and her mom.
* BrainBleach: Ben [[ImagineSpot imagines]] purging his thoughts with a [[http://starship.slipshine.net/loserz/go/308 gasoline fire]].

* ADateWithRosiePalms
* DeepImmersionGaming: For both TabletopGames and {{MMORPG}}.
* DefrostingIceQueen: Carrie.
* DidYouJustHaveSex
* DisappearedDad: Jodie's, though it's something of a subversion - Jodie's mother became pregnant from a one-night stand in Vegas where she was so drunk that she didn't even remember the guy's name. She never saw him after, and it was two weeks later at home that she discovered she was pregnant, much too late to even attempt to locate him, so he didn't disappear - he was never even there to begin with at all.

* EverythingsWorseWithBees
* TheExitIsThatWay
* ExpressiveAccessory: Eric's hat. Visible by everyone except himself.
* {{Fanservice}}: Mostly involving Jodie.

* HeterosexualLifePartners: Ben and Eric.
* {{Hikikomori}}: Jodie, once.
* HitlerAteSugar
* HollywoodTourettes: Ben.
** Though to be fair, it's never actually referred to as TourettesSyndrome. He's just so socially awkward that he spits out the first thing on his mind when he meets a girl. Considering that he's an average 15-16 year old male, simmering in a massive cocktail of hormones, the first thing on his mind tends to be sex.
* HorribleCampingTrip

* MySisterIsOffLimits: [[http://starship.slipshine.net/loserz/go/398 Invoked with Adam's.]]
* MysteryMeat
* {{Nerd}}: Ben and Eric, Eric even more so.
* NerdsAreSexy: [[spoiler:Adam - although he's rather a sexy nerd]]
* NightmareSequence: Also subverts AllJustADream, [[http://starship.slipshine.net/loserz/go/180 here]].
* NoFourthWall

* OhNoYouDidnt: [[http://starship.slipshine.net/loserz/go/431 This strip]] is titled "Oh no she didn't!" and describes this trope pretty well.
* OneOfTheBoys: Jodie for the two guys.
* OnlineAlias: [[http://starship.slipshine.net/loserz/go/241 Ben is "zombiejuiceYUM". Jodie is "p0rnstar6912".]]
