Joe Cool



Not really a great guy to have on your team due to the fact that he died before he even knew about the zombie outbreak. He doesn't really know his way around in a zombie infested world. He's not fast, not too knowledgeable about the zombie lore and he thinks zombies "Eat Brains". Where did he get that crazy idea? Everybody knows that zombies eat flesh and not just brains. Joe is also clumsy so can't really handle any weapons to defend himself. He would be more of a burden than help for the team. A great friend, not so much great zombie survivor. Joe is Rib 's best friend so Rib has a special connection with Joe. Joe gets bit in the neck by a cal trans zombie when he is attacked from behind and dies towards the end of "Twilight of the Living Dead". When Joe is zombified Rib can't see himself killing him off so he keeps him in a formaldehyde jar, well his head anyways. This gag is sort of a slap at Walt Disney but not many people would notice it as such. Later on Rib reattaches Joe's head to a different body and throws a ball gag on him so he doesn't bite him, and keeps him as a pet.

FUN FACT:
1. Joe wears the Twisted Sister shirt as a shout out to the video "Be Cruel To your School" where zombies take over the school and of course Tom Savini has a cameo in.

2. Joe Castillo (the voice actor) could not say formaldehyde when doing the voiceover so we just let him say falmayde and had Remmy correct him by saying it even wronger.

3. Joe wears blue sneakers with a Neon Green stripe, these sneakers are a homage to the old Keds shoes from the 80's that actually had a Glow in the Dark Green "K" on the side, Gramps also wears these same shoes.

4. Joe has a five o'clock shadow even though he's only 11, this is because Joe Castillo has had facial hair for as long as the Dirtrbagtoons guys can remember, even as far back as Jr. High.
