This game, Odd Jobbin’, is one of the 6 Disrespectoids games that were available on the CapriSun website in the late 2000s as a part of the “Respect The Pouch” campaign. Odd Jobbin’ has you playing as Leaky Louie, a Disrepectoid of whomst became a walking sprinkler after he went ahead and disrespected the pouch. Louie found out he could use his misfortune for good deeds, and so Louie started doing jobs around the neighborhood to make good money.

In the game, you use the arrow keys to move around, and the spacebar to spray water. Tasks are scattered all around the map, from washing cars, to filling pools, as well as helping put out fires. Each time you complete a task, you get rewarded with additional seconds added on to the timer, and some CapriSuns, which are the virtual point system. Bigger tasks are indicated by huge circles on the map, and they reward you with bigger time bonuses and bigger point values. You almost definitely want to go after those bigger jobs.

The website was highly reverted in 2010 to make way for a big new Disrepectoids game called “Disadventures” (which I found very little details on), and most of the games from the website were removed. Once the website for Disrepectoids was taken down somewhere in the early 2010s and replaced by a default website for CapriSun, all of the remaining games went along with it, and for years, have been considered as lost media. In 2019, after someone asked about the games on the lost media subreddit, someone provided a Google Drive link to a backup of 5 out of the 6 DIsrespectoids games, with only 1 of the games being considered lost.

NOTE: In this version of the Odd Jobbin’ game, once you complete a certain amount of tasks, the game freaks out and starts creating a ton of random jobs that only last for a split second before disappearing. It is unknown if this is a bug in the game, or if it is some sort of kill screen once the player completes a set amount of tasks in the game.

(The game in this video, Odd Jobbin’, is included in the backup.)
