Joe's Apartment is a 1996 American musical-comedy film starring Jerry O'Connell and Megan Ward and the first film produced by MTV Films (then known as MTV Productions). The film was written and directed by John Payson, with computer-animated sequences supervised by Chris Wedge through Blue Sky Studios. It was the only MTV Films production not to be distributed by Paramount Pictures until the release of Eli, which was distributed by Netflix, but still had the involvement of Paramount.

The main focus of the story is the fact that, unbeknownst to many humans, cockroaches can talk, but prefer not to, as humans "smush first and ask questions later". They also sing (as they do many times in the movie) and even have their own public-access television cable TV channel. Actors providing the roaches' voices included Billy West, Jim Turner, Rick Aviles (in his final film role before his death), and Dave Chappelle.
