an inkling

What is fun? In my opinion, fun is gaining power! That and destroying power. If you work really really hard to make something or become someone and you fail, then the next best thing is to destroy those that are better than you. It's the only enjoyable thing you are left with. That's how super villains are made. You aren't respected enough or you lost something you loved and can never get it back so you become bent on this idea that you must destroy all that IS respected and all continues to be true and just. I don't think that super villains do it in an attempt to gain power. I don't think any super villain things that they will actually win. I think they all do it for the sport of it all. How far can you make it before you are thwarted? But what else would a super villain do? Sit back and LET the good guys prevail? That's just boring.

The Dodeckers aren't trying to be super villains. They don't have to be. We are simply ourselves. A self-manifested, ego maniacal masterpiece that can't see itself becoming any better than it currently is. We are fine with who we are and could care less where we go, because frankly, we are as high up on the food chain as anyone can get. Simply put, TheDodeckers are the best channel on YouTube. But if you put all that YouTube stuff aside, the DodeckerNation is even stronger. Our foundations and our spirits are larger than any other ground up organization. We cannot be broken; cannot be toppled. We are untoppleable. Built dodecker strong.

Back on the topic of online video, today is all about making the avant garde. Everyone wants to make something that no one else has seen before (I shouldn't even really say "today" because that's how it's always been). If you think up something new, then you are special. This is why you see so much ridiculous and often times random shit coming out of every entertainment producing orifice on the planet. Most of the time it's all a tub of useless and laughless garbage, but every so often you get a gem that can actually cause a chuckle. Then, of course, you have the knee slapping sketches of the Dodeckers, however just because something is weird doesn't make it good. It sure helps, but you can't base a video's 'goodness' on how weird it is. That's just not how it works. It's got to have a soul.

Each video that is birthed from The Dodeckers is purebred. We usually rank our stuff according to Power Rangers quality. If the comedy can stand its ground against the best gags of a Rangers episode, then it's ready to hit the net. Otherwise, it need refinement (or a trip to the trash bin). But we don't condemn ourselves just to skits either. If we stumble across a funny, real life scenario, or some hilarious computer malfunction, we'll do our best to capture the essence of the laugh in an attempt to immortalize it in a video in which to share with the DodeckerNation.

Again, weirdness sucks. Get a life. Shits gotta have soul. Dodeckers are god. We can't be beat. Come out from the world and into my arms, like wind on the water we move. This be a wild mountain nation and the only things that will survive are god damn grizzly bears and the mother fucking Dodeckers!

Bitch, reality.
