Noted for their crude humor and tongue-in-cheek violence, Joe Cartoons were among the first widely distributed web-based productions of their kind. Produced in Macromedia's (Adobe's) Flash format, a number of the cartoons are interactive, such as "Gerbil in a Microwave" and "Frog in a Blender". "Frog in a Blender" has been downloaded at least 110 million times. Before the dotcom crash, the site was said to be making $25,000 per month from banner advertising. Shields won $80,000 in compensation from John Zuccarini in 2001 under the Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act after Zuccarini cybersquatted domain names.
In 2010, the Joe Cartoon website was shut down and moved to YouTube according to a statement on YouTube by Joe Cartoon:
"We have now found a new home and it is Youtube. In order to keep the content serving up free, beer flowing and fishing rod wet we have decided to move the site completely over to YouTube - so consider this the official home of JoeCartoon. We hope that all our active fans will find sanctuary in our new spot and keep it active and alive."
The Gerbil is one of the most well-known characters from the website, next to Superfly. His first appearance was in the 1999 cartoon Gerbil in a Microwave, when the user presses various speeds on a microwave in order for the gerbil to explode from too much heat. He has appeared in most of the cartoons, where he always gets into dangerous situations which results in death. Good examples include getting stabbed by a pencil shot from the man in Numbah 2 Pencil III, devoured by pirahnas in Joefish, shot by gun in Gerbill, and even getting run over by a Hummer along with his army of other gerbils while storming to find Joecartoon, who they claim is responsible for the gratuitous violence against gerbils in Gerbil Genocide.
However, in Donkey Bong [Long version], the gerbil laments about people "Kicking his ass, for what? A couple of laughs?" and that he is plain sick of being in dangerous situations that resulted in death from past films. Even though the Gerbil died in many cartoons, he has returned in other films, even the more recent 'Numbah 2 Pencil'.
Lump is a big dog without any legs, made his debut in the 1999 self-titled cartoon which shows him doing a variety of tricks, even though he does not have legs. In 2002, he has made a cameo appearance in Goanna Humpa during the 'technical difficulties'. Lump has been shown in the Greenfields series, when Jebidiah tries to find a solution to end destruction of a city by spray-painting him and calling him 'Super Cow', but he does not have any special powers due to his lack of legs. Lump has recently appeared in Numbah 2 Pencil part 3 trying to pull a parachute string, but he cannot due to his lack of arms. However, he pulls the string after all which makes his bag pop out confetti.
The Greenfields are a family of pot farming/performance artists who face weird events. Jebidiah is the husband and Gertriude is the wife. They debuted in 2004 with the 15-part series 'Thuh Greenfields', which is a big story of many weird events, such as Jebidiah producing a dominatrix porn video for sale on the internet which involves him and his wife 'spanking' to facing the city destroyed by a giant kid named Gummo, who shortly dies after playing with a spaceship, which explodes. The Greenfields made a cameo appearance in Joemomma's 10-Pump BB Gun. Jebidiah however made an appearance in Joemomma's Psychotherapy, while talking to Joemomma about his problems with Gertruide drinking cider, which almost killed him due to the fact that she farted during sex while he was "lookin' around with his lighter". They have also appeared in the music video for 'I'm a Little Catfish', and even in a small short holiday film which Gertriude already gave a stipper pole to Jebidiah as a Christmas gift and orders him to "start dancin'" by enforcing a rifle she bought for herself. They recently appeared in a cartoon called 'Possum Whistle', a fake infomercial that describes a device used to lure possums into being crushed by Jebidiah's 4X4 vehicle.
