3	The Lobo Web series premiered in June 15, 2000 with 14 web cartoons made by Noodle Soup Productions for Creator/WarnerBrothers Animation. It was made after a children's animated series based on ComicBook/{{Lobo}} was cancelled. Unlike other Franchise/DCAnimatedUniverse media, it's obviously for mature audiences and has a TV-MA rating. It used to be at www.loboonline.com, but the domain name has been taken down by Warner Brothers in 2002. All the [[https://youtu.be/uNvAaIlki5y animated shorts]] are currently shown on Website/YouTube. The webtoons also have interactive segments.

5	!!''Lobo Webseries'' shows examples of the following tropes:
6	[[foldercontrol]]
7
8	[[folder:A-N]]
9	* ActorAllusion: Before voicing Sunny Jim, Creator/TomKenny was known for voicing WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants, another yellow character.
10	* AdaptedOut: Al, the owner of Al's Diner is not seen.
11	* AlienBlood: Hilariously averted. Almost everyone bleeds red.
12	* AlternateContinuity: This obviously counts because the series wasn't even referenced in other DCAU content.
13	* AmusingInjuries: A lot of the violence is for the sake of humor.
14	* ArcVillain: Sunny Jim serves as the main antagonist in the first five episodes, while the last four episodes have the gluttonous Snake as the main threat due to eating Lobo's current bounty Mudboy.
15	* BirthdayEpisode: The Bustin' Out Of Oblivion episodes has Slaz celebrating his cellmate and boyfriend Major Snake's birthday.
16	* BlackAndGreyMorality: While there are evil criminals around, Lobo loves to have sex, swear a lot and do violent acts.
17	* BlackComedy: Quite a lot of the violence is played for laughs.
18	* BloodierAndGorier: Much more so than all of the other DCAU.
19	* BloodyHilarious: There are plenty of gory and hilarious moments.
20	* BookEnds: In the Bustin' Out of Oblivion webisodes, the first one starts at One Lung's bar and the fourth and final one ends at One Lung's Bar.
21	* BoomHeadshot: Lobo does this to his enemies quite often.
22	* BrainInAJar: Criminal Mind seen in "Bustin' out of Oblivion Part 3" is a brain in a jar.
23	* BuryYourGays: Both Slaz and Major Snake, a gay couple die by the end of ''Breakout''.
24	* CanonForeigner: All of the characters aside from Lobo and Darlene originate from this cartoon.
25	* ClusterBleepBomb: Lobo does this by the end of "Lobo for President".
26	* [[ClusterFBomb Cluster Frag Grenade]]: Lobo peppers his sentences with "frag".
27	* ContinuityPorn: In the last four webisodes, aliens from the other webtoons appear frequently.
28	* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Most of the deaths in the web series are quite gory and graphic.
29	* DarkerAndEdgier: The only DCAU-related media that has gratuitous profanity and violence.
30	* DeathByIrony: [[spoiler:Slaz and Sniff hug each other not knowing of their spikes killing them]].
31	* DenserAndWackier: Even though Lobo has tons of swearing and violence, it is the funniest of the DCAU-related media.
32	* EverythingsDeaderWithZombies: Lobo encounters the [=MBA=], a race of alien zombies in a few episodes.
33	* ExplosiveCigar: Lobo puts this in Tubo's mouth and detonates it.
34	* FacialHorror:
35	** In "Market Day", Lobo's face is reduced to some brain matter.
36	** In "Bustin Out of Oblivion Part 3", Lobo's face is reduced to a bloody pulp
37	** In "Lobo for President", Lobo's face gets covered in acid urine.
38	* FlippingTheBird:
39	** Darlene Spritzer does this to Lobo as she dumps him and takes his bike.
40	** Lobo does this to Whutzat after his arm was cut off.
41	* GoryDiscretionShot: Mostly averted. The only instance is in "Lobo for President" where Lobo kills a baby alien off-screen.
42	* HealingFactor: Lobo can completely regenerate his own bones, organs and skin when he gets brutally hurt.
43	* InexplicablySpeaksFluentAlien: Lobo understood what the [=MBA=] member was saying. Lobo got angry when the [=MBA=] member mentioned Sunny Jim, Lobo's rival. He has never heard their language before.
44	* {{Jerkass}}:
45	** Lobo isn't any nicer than his usual depictions. In fact, it's quite common in this series for him to kill people [[DisproportionateRetribution just for pissing him off]].
46	** Sunny Jim, the first villain faced in the series, isn't any better, as he made a bet with Lobo over which of them would date Darlene first and makes some rather sexist remarks towards Darlene.
47	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Lobo rescues people from different threats within the series.
48	* MickeyMousing: During certain gory scenes, rock motifs are heard.
49	* NamedAfterTheInjury: Sunny Jim, who got his face carved by Lobo to resemble a smiley face.

51	[[folder:O-Z]]

62	* TrackingDevice: Lobo uses this to find Mudboy the Porkan.

64	* UncannyValley: Invoked with the [=MBA=], where they all have a bizarre moving pattern and pale skin. It doesn't help they are alien zombies.
65	* VomitIndiscretionShot: Major Snake is shown vomiting up pills and other stuff in the "Bustin' Out of Oblivion" episodes.
