Joe Bob Briggs is a syndicated film critic specializing in humorous but appreciative reviews of b-movies and cult films, which he calls drive-in movies. His columns characteristically conclude with a brief summary of the "high points" of the movie in question, including the types of action (represented by nouns naming objects used in fight scenes suffixed with fu), the number of breasts bared, and the exhortation "Joe Bob says check it out." A typical such concluding paragraph would be, "Table-fu. Pool cue-fu. Four breasts. Joe Bob says check it out."

He has also appeared on television as a host of TNT's MonsterVision horror movie marathons.
