Not-Joe: The Movie Director's Commentary

[ Hey, guys. This is Not-Joe here, doing an audio director's commentary on my new film Not-Joe: The Movie. Out now in theaters and on DVD, where this audio commentary can be found. Please check out the actual movie before watching this, because in this commentary, I'm gonna be talking about the references and some of the jokes in the movie, and if you haven't already seen the movie, that would ruin the jokes. ]
The movie cuts forward in time to Not-Joe driving a red Mercedes on his way home, while blasting Eminem.
[ This is a reference to, of course, the car brand Mercedes, but also specifically a reference to the song "REDMERCEDES" by the rapper Aminé, who's music I am a big fan of. The Eminem part is also a reference to Eminem being my favorite rapper. ]
Not-Joe: "YEAH BITCH! I CAN RHYME ORANGE WITH BANANA!"
[ This is a reference to the Eminem song "Tone Deaf", where he says he can rhyme orange with banana. A funny and great song in my opinion. ]
Cartoon Hospital Patient: "What's the diagnosis, doctor?"
Cartoon Doctor: "Well, sir... You don't just have cancer, but you have aids."
Not-Joe: "BAHAHAHA!"
[ This part isn't me trying to make light of cancer or aids, it was more like… This fictional character version of Not-Joe is an asshole, and in a funny way. If that makes sense. ]
Not-Joe: "Where am I? Who are you?"
Wolf: "My name is Ace."
[ Obviously, this is a reference to the SBFW user Ace, also known as AceBlueWolfe. In this movie he's a literal wolf person. ]
Ace: "I had my administration sign a counter bill that would make all SpongeBob fanfictions become name dropped in the book of laws as an example of fair use. But someone stole the legal document for it. I have a map over here that shows three worlds where it could possibly be. I need you to look for it in each one."
[ When I wrote this, part of me was worried about it sounding too wordy and possibly convoluted, but actually I think the wordiness of it makes it kinda funny. And this movie is basically just trying to be funny. Nothing really else is part of the objective. ]
Crow 1: "We're the Jas Breeze Gang. But not to be confused with the Jasbree gang. Which also isn't to be confused with the Jasbre gang." (Jaz-br-ay)
[ This is a very obvious reference to the retired SBFW staff member TheJasbre202, but it's also kind of an inside joke, because for years I used to accidentally mispronounce Jasbre's username, because I just had no idea how it's supposed to be said. ]
They set him down on top of another cloud, where a dude in a SpongeBob parade costume greeted him.
Dude: "Hello, Not-Joe. I am Spongefan. I help people get to where they need to go."
[ This is a reference to the infamous SBFW user Spongefan, who me and NoName had a big beef with back in 2019. In the original plan I had for this movie, Spongefan would've had a full on antagonist role in the film, but the beef between the two of us was so long ago, and I didn't wanna revive any dramas for the sake of an SBFW movie, but the beef we had in 2019 was one of the most defining moments of my SBFW career, so I wanted to at least reference it in the official Not-Joe movie. And in the movie, he is wearing a SpongeBob parade costume because what screams being a sponge fan more than walking around wearing a SpongeBob parade costume? ]
Not-Joe: "You're not gonna bite my hand are you?"
Spongefan: "Hahaha! Nope! I wouldn't do something like that unless you wrote a bad fanon series."
[ This is the most blatant reference to the 2019 Spongefan drama on SBFW, referring to when he started creating really hateful and rude disapproval categories which he added to pages he didn't like. ]
Not-Joe: "Well, good thing I have a big ego and don't think I've ever written a bad one of those."
[ In 2019, I had a huge ego problem. That part isn't a joke. ]
Not-Joe: "By the way… Are you a Jew SBFW user?"
Spongefan: "A what??"
[ This part looks really bad out of context. I'll explain it though in case any of you don't get the reference. There was one time on either Discord or SBFW a few years ago where I sent a message that I intended to say "I thought Spongefan was a new user," but what it actually said was "I thought Spongefan was a Jew user," because of either spell check or the letter j being literally right above the letter n on phone keyboards. And when I sent that message, not knowing what it actually said, people thought it was funny and it is a piece of the world of Not-Joe memes that is a message still being referenced nowadays, one of the most recent examples being in the funny series I Hate My Child. ]
Spongefan: "Eat one of these magic brownies, and you will be sent to the next world you must go to."
Not-Joe: "And what's in these brownies?"
Spongefan: "JUST EAT IT!!!"
[ This part is actually the only thing in this movie that happened in real life. I had some delicious brownies right before I wrote this movie. And by delicious, I don't mean just 10/10. Like 50/10 at least. I still remember the exact taste. I don't really remember anything that happened after I ate them though like when I was writing the movie. ]
Not-Joe ate one of the brownies, then suddenly everything became blurry, and bright, and colorful, and there was like a swirly line floating in front of him, as the Weird Al song "Eat It" started playing for just a few seconds.
[ I love writing trippy stuff. That's like my second favorite type of story to write. One that is trippy and weird and stuff like that. When writing Not-Joe: The Movie, I wanted the movie to be my full on, unfiltered creative vision, because even if I ever wanted to make a sequel Not-Joe film or a reboot of it, this will forever be THE official Not-Joe movie. And so, some people may find my humor cringey, but I just went all out with writing stuff I find funny, and also writing stuff that I like to write the most, aka the trippy writing style. There could never be a more Not-Joe movie than this movie. Like I said, Not-Joe: The Movie is my completely unfiltered and uncensored creative vision. ]
Josephine: "I'm sorry, NotJoe. But no coin, no entrance."
Not-Joe: "I already told you it's Not-Joe with a dash. Get it right or I will kill you."
Josephine: "NOT...JOE…"
[ This scene is a reference to multiple different things. The Josephine thing is a reference to a very controversial figure in the online SpongeBob fandom, known as "Josephine", a beef me and that person had about a year ago when out of nowhere she started threatening to find out where I live and dox me online which is really insane, and so I made multiple disses about her over the following year, one on CRIBTAPE, one that was a full on Josephine Diss Track which released on Bandcamp a while ago but is no longer public, and I dissed her a few other times online, rightfully so. In so many of the dramas and beefs I've been in since I joined SBFW back in 2019, I was in the wrong. But this Josephine beef was one of the first times I was actually justified and, in my opinion, fully in the right. The part where the Not-Joe character attempts to kill her but ends up actually getting killed by her punching him super hard is 100% a joke and should not be taken literally at all.
The Not-Joe spelling thing too is a joke referencing the fact I've been saying for years that if you wanna spell Not-Joe correctly, you must put a dash, but so many times, people spell it as either one word or two words with no dash, and I don't personally have a problem with people not including the dash, but the dash is the only way to actually type the nickname correctly. It's the nickname I created, and I've always intended it to have a dash. And so, I thought maybe if I put a funny over the top gag about the dash in the movie, maybe it could bring some attention to the actual correct way to spell Not-Joe. ]
Not-Joe: "Woah. Am I in Hell? This is crazier than the time I got stuck in an elevator with Boris Johnson."
"YES... YOU ARE..." Said Rob Zombie, who appeared sitting on a big throne made of bones.
[ The movie is almost nothing like how it would've been if I released it back in 2022, but for whatever reason, one of the only plot points in my original plans for the movie that still ended up in the final draft was me going to Hell. However, it wasn't Rob Zombie I originally planned to be the king of Hell in the movie. If I remember correctly, it was originally planned to be DanTDM. Also, the Boris Johnson thing is a reference to an episode of SBFW: THREE'S A CROWD. But the Not-Joe movie isn't actually canon to that series. It's just a reference. ]
Rob Zombie: "But first, you must give me your soul."
[ I would never actually try to sell my soul. The purpose of this section of the movie is just to be weird and really out there. I don't like to be very vocal about my religious beliefs but I'm not a Satanist or anything like that. ]
Not-Joe: "I'm shifting outta here, clown."
Not-Joe started meditating, then reality shifted out of Hell.
[ This gag is a reference to the memes about me saying I believe in reality shifting a couple years ago, which I think are pretty funny memes, and a lot of the stuff I believed back in that period of time I think definitely deserve to be joked about, because most of the stuff I used to believe I think now is really dumb and stupid. With that said though, I do still believe in reality shifting, and I have proof that it is real. Last night I went to bed at 9 at night, and then when I woke up, I had reality shifted into a world where it was currently 8 AM. There's no logical explanation for that. ]
Rob: "How am I a literal demon and I still can't believe what just happened? Oh and I forgot to ask him if he likes my music. I bet he likes my album Hellbilly. Everyone likes Hellbilly. It's a classic."
[ I do actually love the album Hellbilly and Rob Zombie's music overall. There are only a few albums I've had downloaded and kept on my phone for the past three or so years, and one of them is Hellbilly. ]
Ace: "Great job, Not-Joe, with securing my world the right to make SpongeBob George Soros crossover fanfics!"
[ A not so subtle reference to the infamous George Soros series on SBFW. ]
Not-Joe: "You know, after going on that wild trippy adventure, I think I have an idea for a SpongeBob fanon series you and I could start together. I'd call it SpongeBob Ultra SquarePants."
Ace: "I think you should probably shorten that."
Not-Joe: "Nah, dude. That title will definitely stick."
[ This is a reference to the series I showrunned with Ace, SpongeBob UltraPants, which was actually his idea, and so was the name. The name thing was just a joke about me coming up with a bad spin-off name. ]
The movie cuts to the actual super real world in a room where SBFW user TheBoy is holding a large movie script, and talking to Josh, the actual real life version of Not-Joe.
TheBoy: "...And that's how the movie ends."
[ This whole ending is basically a reference to a movie TheBoy2007 released called "FridayNightStar", named after one of my SBFW usernames, which is a movie that was apparently inspired by me, but I watched it, and I respectfully have no idea how I inspired TheBoy to make that movie, because I don't see how any of it is actually related to me. It was cool he named a movie and the main character of it after me though. 
Anyways, that's gonna be it for this director's commentary on Not-Joe: The Movie. This is Not-Joe signing off. ]
