If the Smash Bros vid is a parody of Smash 64 - Peach wasn't even playable in that one. So the joke falls apart even aside from the whole "Ness is unlocked after Luigi" thing.
I don't like video game humor because it all seems to be the same jokes, 'Mario?! The plumber who gets high on shrooms and kills turtles amirite?!' 'Don't you hate when people think Link is Zelda?!'
Dog A Check out "Mario and Luigi: Bro Pros" one of the best mario parodies i've seen, not a single joke about shrooms or fucked up things that you find in other typical parodies.
"Oh hey! This fairy character in OOT is SOO annoying! Let's make a joke about them saying 'hey, listen' constantly, even though the amount of times they say it is MUCH less than that!"
Just because some people make unoriginal jokes doesn't mean all of the jokes are bad. "Oh hey, wouldn't it be funny if I made a parody of the chicken crossing the road joke?" "oh hey? what's the deal with teenagers! am I riigghhtt?" Just because people make obvious observations doesn't mean observational humor is moot! people everywhere make unoriginal jokes all the time, everywhere, about everything.
I think Dorkly make the same mistakes Robot Chicken make: They think 'geek humour' basically consists of 'take a geeky interest like a video game and make it dark/sexual and expect that to inherently make it funny'. Spoiler: It doesn't.
Yeeaaah. It always seems like these parody creators believe that what gamers want is to see absurdly gory and sexual humor because "muh childhood ruined lol." It's reeaally cheap humor and it's getting stale fast. I'd like to see more content creators make a better attempt at humor without having to resort to overly mature shit everyone's seen a dozen times over.
Matt Dave It's based on your Opinion you might not like Dorkly or Robot Chickens content that's great because now you know not to watch them but other people do like them
Comfey, Destroyer of Worlds It's based on your Opinion you might not like Dorkly's content that's great because now you know not to watch it but other people do like them
Most Dorkly video/comic can be summarized as "G rated characters doing R rated things". It's the most basic kind of humour, and it requires very little thought. "Lazy" is the perfect word to describe them.
I notice a recurring theme of Mario being way weaker than he actually is. They make a joke about how you can't jump on robots, except...you can do that in the RPGs. Mario breaks his legs falling off the top of a Shuttle Loop, except...he shrugs off worse falls in like every game. Why's Mario the only character whose superhuman strength is so unbelievable?
Beavis and Butt-Head could write a Dorkly skit: Butt-Head: "Uh, hey Beavis... what if Super Mario, uh... what if Super Mario... uhuhuhu, got gonorrhea." Beavis: "Heheh, yeah! And then like, it turns out, like, he got it from Peach, who was, like... bangin' Luigi!" Butt-Head: "Uhuhuh, that'd be cool."
Dorkly has some hits but generally his content consists of the obvious punchline of putting beloved family friendly gaming icons in fourth wall breaking adult situations
The problem with Dorkly is that all of their "jokes" are the exact same jokes that millions of other people have done before. "Haha, wouldn't it be funny if Mario was evil and hated Luigi." "Haha what if Sonic was Mario" "Haha what if Yoshi took revenge on Mario" "Haha playing Pokemon is like letting animals fight" There's nothing original to it. Furthermore, they seem to more than often just TALK about the joke instead of showing it. You can't just SHOW Yoshi riding Mario, no they have to constantly talk about how demeaning and hard it is for Mario. It's pretty freaking lame for the most part.
Ugh that’s so true, as soon as a character does something that fans might humorously question to themselves, Dorkly has to over-explain it with the same overreaction with just excessive amounts of dialogue. That’s not humour, that’s shoving a joke into people’s faces who already get the punchline, and with little creativity
That's not really a problem with Dorkly, its just a problem that you have with their content. A lot of people want to see that kind of thing, so they get views, so the channel is successful. There's no "problem" or need for them to change. I do understand that you're bored of it though, I can sympathize!
They started out like 10 years ago. Game sprite animation was actually gaining some popularity around that time, but theirs just happened to be the smoothest.
My biggest problem with Dorkly isn't the sort of jokes they use, nor the animation style. It's their execution. Most of the time, the characters are just standing there. Talking. Any actions done are far and few between, and only serve to add substance to the talking. If it weren't for these occasional 'gags', then you could just listen to the video, without watching, and get the full experience.
This is such a dumb argument. Do movie critics have to also be great directors? No. The standing around is boring regardless of whether the commenter can animate well.
joshua the pirate Hm. Ok, so I need to be a film director to say the percy jackson movies are shit? I have to be a cartoon artist to say that calvin and hobbes is good? I can point out a better animator for you, though. If you look up patafoin, you will see some decent visual gags that are done much better.
yeah but this video states that sonic for hire was a dorkly property, add that to the fact that lowbrow lends their voices to the dorkly videos and he's bound to be confused
I agreed with the repeatitive humour they have going. Seriously "what if [insert character] had a portal gun" god old really old quickly after the first one!!!
I'm conflicted here. On one end, I do enjoy the material Dorkly posts almost every day (most of the time). On the other, I can understand what you're trying to get at with the points you brought up. So I guess I'm in the middle on this one.
Yeah, I don't think Dorkly is funny either. A lot of it is just unnecessary gore/"adult" stuff (as one guy below put it "Family Guy humour") and just not really clever. I will say you made a mistake though regarding the unlock joke in the Smash video. Given how Peach is there and she wasn't in Smash 64, it's likely they're using Melee as a reference rather than Smash 64, and in Melee Ness was on the base roster instead of being unlockable, unlike Luigi.
But Mario says that it’s the first official Smash Bros match which isn’t true since the first Smash match was between Mario, Fox, Donkey Kong, and Yoshi in the Mushroom Kingdom.
"Ness and Luigi are unlockable characters in the original Smash Bros. They didn't mention it, so they must not know the game." In addition to the unlocking order being completely determined by player input, I'm going to have to call you out for something else. Peach is present. Meaning that the game parody is at least Smash Bros. Melee and definitely not the original, which has Ness and Luigi also as unlockables. Normally, I would let this slide, but when a main point against Dorkly is their lack of video game knowledge and the example you give clearly displays your lack of knowledge on the subject, I have to call hypocrisy when I see it to blatantly. I'm not even a big fan of Dorkly, I agree with some of your points, at least on a lot of jokes falling flat.
But still, BluShades was giving them shit for supposedly not knowing the game yet clearly he doesn't know the game either since he never mentions the fact that Peach shouldn't be there if it's the first Smash Bros.
Mario says that it's the first Smash bros round ever, so it's 64, Peach couldn't be there. Ness shouldn't either since he's a secret character when they've never even done this before.
Actually, you have opened my eyes to see what I'm seeing. I always thought somewhere in the back of my head was telling me "Everything's the same at Dorkly".
I unsubbed when they got incredibly lazy started doing those top 10 lists where a guy just stands there and talks about stuff and haven't come back for the same reasons.
Piss Weak what you mean like robot chicken? Cause that's exactly what you described. Matter of fact you described a whole bunch of UA-cam bs where adults do the very same thing. Either with video games or whatever to different degrees of success. I personally don't have a problem with it.
Looks up "Tropes against women in video games" EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECK CANCER!
I don't care really that dorkly is mostly poor made stuff with half baked jokes. I just like it. Oh and really good points I think you deserve more credit for how good you analyzed dorkly and it's content.
Same, while I was watching the vieo, except on a few points I really just didn't understand, I agreed, but I didn't really learn anything new, like he said, we can show him stuff or insult him as much as we want, he wont start liking it, on my side, you can show me how retarded they are, I still chuckle at what they do. Otherwhise I wouldn't be subscribed to them. But they aren't the ones who make the videos I show to poeple on Discord.
Chad Muska broke every bone in his body attempting a trick where he dribbles a pepperoni pizza between his legs like a basketball. He received a VHS copy of Land Before Time 2 for his efforts.
I have always disliked the animation of dorkly for twisting sprites in awkward ways and using bad pixel scaling. I think sprite animation can be done in a good artsy way but, dorkly is one of those channels that just seems to be only about profiting from bad stolen "gamer jokes".
I agree 100%. They could have done really nice frame-by-frame animation with the sprites and given it a lot of character, but they've just broken the sprites up into different pieces and they twist and conform like Flash animations. But hey, that would take effort and time, and the more time it takes, the less videos they make, and the less money they make.
My experience with Dorkly was finding them, binge their videos for about an hour, and then realize the repetitive nature of their writing all in one day.
Well, I personally do find them funny. However, that may just be a matter of taste. Your content itself though is well edited, and your script is well written, and for that I will subscribe.
Okay this comment was kinda pointless and didn't need to be said, here's a good idea have a point. You don't need to say anything about this and just do it instead so you can stop wasting people's time.
I quit Dorkly after their "Bodybuilders" series, which should be named "The same videos with gross humor and graphics to prove how society in 1800s was filthy and toxic". They preferred focusing on that lousy series rather Old Sonic because that at least satirize fetishes on deviantArt
dorkly es un remanente del humor edgy de newgrounds: tener chistes sexuales, violencia exagerada, ideas simplonas, alargar conversaciones por mucho tiempo, representar todos los personajes como idiotas y/o amargados iracundos. sencillamente dorkly sigue vivo por que hay gente que no se cansa de sus vídeos aparte de los mas jóvenes quienes son nuevos a este rancio tipo de humor de Internet.
While I do agree that Dorkly's one off videos are pretty bad, I am a fan of the longer series they have done such as Pokemon Rusty which actually does have some decent writing and even Sonic for Hire has some jokes that land. This however is probably because those were either passion projects of people who had since stopped working with Dorkly(Pokemon Rusty), or were also co-written with other studios(Sonic for Hire)
I 100% agree. I'm subscribed to Dorkly right now, not to watch their new Mario videos, but a new series they're doing called "what if Pokemon took place in the 1800's." It's honestly really good. If I get a notification for any video that isn't a part of that series though, I either watch it and don't laugh a single time, or just ignore it.
Very well made and I think the same way about these guys, I actually watched these guys before and stopped after "If Videogame Bosses Were Actually Smart" because it just got boring and this video has a load of good reasons which i could never even fathom to put across in my videos. You sir deserve so much more recognition than 15k you deserve at the very least 200k
Most of the video game character impressions in Dorkly’s voice acting would either change inconsistently or just suck, but only some of the characters stood out such as the Mario Bros.
I mean I agree with all your opinions but I do like dorkly but that’s because I am very easy to make laugh and so there content makes me laugh but I do still respect and agree with all your opinions
Dorkly is an example of seasonal rot. Early vids are witty, like the one with Braid. But later on, they really rely on predictable or poorly-researched moments. Even the thumbnails/titles don't look appealing. To me, they're made by a team who knows the surface level, but fails to make a joke past the first two/three levels but then skips to some other levels. In the MSM parody, they somehow didn't address the fact that Noggin and Mammott can create a Drumpler. They only know the most recognizable monsters. The vid mostly boils down to how Wubbox ditches his friends for temporary fame and fortune as well as them making funny noises for music. Not addressing that the lore has the Monsters and Humans interact much, or the fact Wubbox has a creator: Galvana. Also, the "My" part isn't even an aspect of the parody. You could just make it about Dreamworks Trolls and everything stays the same. The comments are wittier than the video.
on the subject of the animation being lazy, you cite Egoraptor as an example of a good one but it took Egoraptor months to make his incredibly short videos. Dorkly can get them out every 2 weeks. on the youtube platform one 3 minute video every few months isnt a viable way to run a channel. its inefficient. yes, all of Egoraptors videos are better than anything Dorkly ever could do but theres a reason why youtube animators like Egoraptor arnt around anymore. Those kinds of channels just cant thrive on youtube like they used to.
mrtangelo885 I wouldn't say that gives excuse to the animation but I have to say that it is a poor comparison when he does bring up a good example being Egoraptor which is it 2D animated parody of these games and has to build them from scratch
Personally the reason I would find Dorkly more viable than Egoraptor is because he pretty much outright abandoned his channel for animation and focuses entirely on GameGrumps. He can do whatever he wants with his life, but I hardly care about the quality of the work when I'm not getting any work to enjoy. Where's my reason to sub, or stick around on a community?
Dolphin _Dain123 if his animations actually made him enough money to live then he would have time. but they make him jack shit so its not worth the time investment.
Tombocartoons While I completely understand why he dislikes Dorkly and won't tell him to like it otherwise. His point about Ness being an unlockable character is down right pathetic... because after just five or maybe less minutes of research. I found out Ness is a starter character in Meele, and with Peach in the video as well, it pretty much comfirmed it was a reference to Meele.
i never states that it did. i was implying that just because it's unpopular doesn't make it moot either. if people have an issue with the arguments he presented fair enough, but his opinion isn't automatically bad because it's not what you like to hear
Robot Chicken did a Parappa The Rapper joke where they had him say "punch kick punch kick" a bunch, and that was the entire joke for the whole skit. That's Dorkly's entire repertoire. That's why Dorkly is bad.
Sorry you got so many dislikes on this video, it's really nice to actually see someone come out against Dorkly. I used to like them but after watching a lot they just started feeling the same. Definitely liking
Wanted Walrus I personally like Dorkly however it’s unbelievable how many dislikes he got for having an opinion I mean the video was well structured an he had some pretty good points so why the dislikes
Well the dislikes are probably to represent people doesn't agree with his point of view. I mean, is not like a punishment to give a video a dislike for something you don't agree with
XxoxProzSkilLzAV Ok, but that’s not the part which I don’t understand- what I don’t understand is why you’re likening this comment to a “hate comment” in the first place??
The problem with Dorkly also applies with other video game related channels, if not, those about "nerd/geek culture" as a whole, because "it's cool to call yourself a nerd, but not to actually be a nerd", which is why you have clickbait based content, that not only feels bland, but sometimes disrespects the source material, as if the people behind it didn't do enough research. Watchmojo once made a video list of "video game characters that need backstories", yet featured characters who already had backstories. Hell, this is also one of the reasons why journalism for video games is terrible, so you get shit like Dark Souls comparisons.
they have good animation but, level up always starts things and doesn't finish them. Mario craft, Goomba Revolution , that thing about some cheese guy that I forgot what it's called.
Watched this a few years ago and for some reason disliked it. Coming back with a different opinion, I had to remove my dislike because I now agree with him.
The only videos I like from them are honestly either the few videos that have jokes that haven't been used much ( Toad house is rigged video as an example ) or the rare series that they do ( sonic for hire ). Other than that, I agree that they're a pretty generic and lazy channel. Having said all that, they're still a guilty pleasure for me.
I honestly do agree with you. Dorkly is just flat out annoying, especially with the same voice actor doing all the same voices with little to no changes to them between characters.
Honestly, I entirely agree. I've never really liked Dorkly's comics/videos because they try too hard to be relatable. And when they're not doing that, they're trying too hard to be edgy or PC. Newgrounds are and Awkward Zombie far better at videogame parodies and comics than they ever will be. And when they're not doing any of those things, they're being complete morons. *looks at the comic about Pokemon Stars.* And it's a sad thing about the like/dislike ratio. Shows that some people truly can't accept constructive criticism.
While I disagree on a whole, I do admit they recycle certain sketches and some of their humor exists in the trope "Refuge in Audacity", but overall their willingness to get certain details such as the title character of Pokemon being "Red" and not "Ash" shows that they do at least do some research or know some of the material. That said, I'll probably still watch them, but your opinions aren't invalid (although I personally don't believe they're 'right').
THANK YOU. Agreed wholeheartedly, I'm so happy to hear someone else say it. I do disagree about one point, though -- the reason they get tiny details mixed up is because they're old and they played these games 25 years ago, not because their only familiarity is through Wikis.
In regards to the Smash Bros. bit: Ness happened to be on the starting roster in Super Smash Bros. Melee, while Luigi was still a secret character. Furthermore, Melee was the game where Peach joined the roster.
I'm gonna have to respectfully disagree. While yes humor is subjective, it sounds like you're wanting to have your opinion as fact. Now I'm sure you don't mean for it, or even intended for it to come off like that, but your heavy nitpicking and "it's not funny" dialogue comes off as thinking it should be hated by everyone. Now while I myself have barely watched Dorkly, only dabbling in and out at times. I can say what I have watched gave me a couple chuckles, but it just wasn't really my type of humor. This video just seems to be you saying you solely don't like their humor and they should change it when it has racked in millions of views for them. And as much as it saddens us, the world doesn't revolve solely around us. So if what they're doing is working, it's reasonable that people love Dorkly. I'm sorry if this came off as rude, I just wanted to get my point across.
I think with the Smash Bros video the main punchline wasn't really the fact that Luigi hasn't been unlocked yet, but more of a sort of inside joke that Luigi is constantly being hated on
1 minute in, 'I don't like this video game humor, but then I don't like any video game humor in general' I don't see why this guy watches it enough to make an anti video then. Just because something in comedy isn't your type of humor, doesn't mean there's something wrong with the material. Enough people found Dorkly funny to actually make a large, successful channel.
Why does this have so many dislikes?
_"You may know Dorkly for their series like Sonic for Hire"_
Ohhhhhhhhh...
OK don't "come to my house and rape my dog" (yes I've been told that before) but I DON'T GET IT does it have to do with Machinama

Dorkly uses basically the same strategy to attempt comedy as modern Family Guy
Family guy is 90% cutaway gags
It honestly seems more like Robot Chicken to me.
Edward Kenway sounds like a good thing.
Both are too self aware and the jokes are just lazy
modern family guy is cutaway gags and overall dumb stuff. Dorkly is referential and "what if" scenario's. The two aren't comparable.
Newgrounds sprite animations but in 2017
Holy shit who remembers Randy Solem?

Yeah, I don't think Dorkly is funny either. A lot of it is just unnecessary gore/"adult" stuff (as one guy below put it "Family Guy humour") and just not really clever. I will say you made a mistake though regarding the unlock joke in the Smash video. Given how Peach is there and she wasn't in Smash 64, it's likely they're using Melee as a reference rather than Smash 64, and in Melee Ness was on the base roster instead of being unlockable, unlike Luigi.
But the logo is smash 64´s and the final destination is from brawl..
But Mario says that it’s the first official Smash Bros match which isn’t true since the first Smash match was between Mario, Fox, Donkey Kong, and Yoshi in the Mushroom Kingdom.
Bloody humor is rarely funny, and when it is, it’s great, and when it’s not, it’s awful.
"Ness and Luigi are unlockable characters in the original Smash Bros. They didn't mention it, so they must not know the game." In addition to the unlocking order being completely determined by player input, I'm going to have to call you out for something else. Peach is present. Meaning that the game parody is at least Smash Bros. Melee and definitely not the original, which has Ness and Luigi also as unlockables. Normally, I would let this slide, but when a main point against Dorkly is their lack of video game knowledge and the example you give clearly displays your lack of knowledge on the subject, I have to call hypocrisy when I see it to blatantly. I'm not even a big fan of Dorkly, I agree with some of your points, at least on a lot of jokes falling flat.
^this
But still, BluShades was giving them shit for supposedly not knowing the game yet clearly he doesn't know the game either since he never mentions the fact that Peach shouldn't be there if it's the first Smash Bros.
It should be 64 since none of the characters knew the game's concept.
Conor McDonald oh so he has to mention every charactor thats locked? no he just made his point shorter
Mario says that it's the first Smash bros round ever, so it's 64, Peach couldn't be there. Ness shouldn't either since he's a secret character when they've never even done this before.
Fun fact: You can unlock luigi after unlocking Ness so the joke in Super Nice Bros. is fine.
EnricosUt also peach isn't in the original so I'm guessing it's melee and also ness is a starter in melee
The concept wouldn't be new to them if it were Melee.
Cookie V.3 fuck off

I'm so very sorry for ruining your day with my simple statement.
Actually, you have opened my eyes to see what I'm seeing. I always thought somewhere in the back of my head was telling me "Everything's the same at Dorkly".
I've got bored of Dorkly, and you've explained why.

Dorkly animation is pretty much a group of adults role-playing with action figures
Piss Weak what you mean like robot chicken? Cause that's exactly what you described. Matter of fact you described a whole bunch of UA-cam bs where adults do the very same thing. Either with video games or whatever to different degrees of success. I personally don't have a problem with it.
I just recently unsubscribed form Dorkly after their new Sonic thing, and I agree with you.

Agreed with this comment.
Same, while I was watching the vieo, except on a few points I really just didn't understand, I agreed, but I didn't really learn anything new, like he said, we can show him stuff or insult him as much as we want, he wont start liking it, on my side, you can show me how retarded they are, I still chuckle at what they do.

I have always disliked the animation of dorkly for twisting sprites in awkward ways and using bad pixel scaling. I think sprite animation can be done in a good artsy way but, dorkly is one of those channels that just seems to be only about profiting from bad stolen "gamer jokes".
I agree 100%. They could have done really nice frame-by-frame animation with the sprites and given it a lot of character, but they've just broken the sprites up into different pieces and they twist and conform like Flash animations.
But hey, that would take effort and time, and the more time it takes, the less videos they make, and the less money they make.
Romejanic
they could have... but they didn't..... YAKNOW WHY?
CUZ THEY DIDN'T WANT TO
I mean there's Level-Up or the Hat-Loving Gamer for good animation
I fucking agree in every way. I'm glad that there are people out there who actually fucking notice how they don't even animate well.

He doesn't have to tell why. The comment was directed to the raging comments from other people.
Agreed, once you've seen 2-3 Dorkly videos you've basically seen all of them.
to be honest I eat up these videos without even a slight giggle and I never brought myself to hate on them
thanks for uploading this
It reminds me of Family Guy and that isn't a good thing
Yendor You mean it had a good few seasons until the recent season sucks?
liizzset Exactly
My experience with Dorkly was finding them, binge their videos for about an hour, and then realize the repetitive nature of their writing all in one day.
Well, I personally do find them funny. However, that may just be a matter of taste. Your content itself though is well edited, and your script is well written, and for that I will subscribe.
Joe Baumgart now this is how to make a good youtube comment!
Okay this comment was kinda pointless and didn't need to be said, here's a good idea have a point. You don't need to say anything about this and just do it instead so you can stop wasting people's time.
@@theverybestyoutubeaccount Geez; that's no need to be rude.

I remember seeing their videos back in the day
They have not aged well in my book
Dorkly:
80% Pokemon
10% Mario
10% sonic

you convey your argument pretty well for somebody that I disagree with when it comes to dorkly humor
This video aged really well!
Go look at "If Paramount Made Detective Pikachu" It's just cringy as fuck
Bruh seriously?
@@KennethV2000 Yeah, I'm fucking serious
Bullshit
& it's mean-spirited as all hell, like Dorkly's ALWAYS been.
I quit Dorkly after their "Bodybuilders" series, which should be named "The same videos with gross humor and graphics to prove how society in 1800s was filthy and toxic".
They preferred focusing on that lousy series rather Old Sonic because that at least satirize fetishes on deviantArt
I still love Dorkly and really didn't like this vid. I can, however, admit that Bodybuilders sucked.
dorkly es un remanente del humor edgy de newgrounds: tener chistes sexuales, violencia exagerada, ideas simplonas, alargar conversaciones por mucho tiempo, representar todos los personajes como idiotas y/o amargados iracundos. sencillamente dorkly sigue vivo por que hay gente que no se cansa de sus vídeos aparte de los mas jóvenes quienes son nuevos a este rancio tipo de humor de Internet.
Tú tienes mi respecto hermano y yo estoy de acuerdo contigo
12 years old love this stuff.
I know i used to.
While I do agree that Dorkly's one off videos are pretty bad, I am a fan of the longer series they have done such as Pokemon Rusty which actually does have some decent writing and even Sonic for Hire has some jokes that land. This however is probably because those were either passion projects of people who had since stopped working with Dorkly(Pokemon Rusty), or were also co-written with other studios(Sonic for Hire)
I 100% agree. I'm subscribed to Dorkly right now, not to watch their new Mario videos, but a new series they're doing called "what if Pokemon took place in the 1800's." It's honestly really good. If I get a notification for any video that isn't a part of that series though, I either watch it and don't laugh a single time, or just ignore it.
Dorkly really did ruin my child hood and he’s gonna pay the price
Plus he’s jokes aren’t funny
How did he ruin your childhood?
Very well made and I think the same way about these guys, I actually watched these guys before and stopped after "If Videogame Bosses Were Actually Smart" because it just got boring and this video has a load of good reasons which i could never even fathom to put across in my videos. You sir deserve so much more recognition than 15k you deserve at the very least 200k
Most of the video game character impressions in Dorkly’s voice acting would either change inconsistently or just suck,
but only some of the characters stood out such as the Mario Bros.
I mean I agree with all your opinions but I do like dorkly but that’s because I am very easy to make laugh and so there content makes me laugh but I do still respect and agree with all your opinions
Dorkly is an example of seasonal rot. Early vids are witty, like the one with Braid. But later on, they really rely on predictable or poorly-researched moments. Even the thumbnails/titles don't look appealing.
To me, they're made by a team who knows the surface level, but fails to make a joke past the first two/three levels but then skips to some other levels.
In the MSM parody, they somehow didn't address the fact that Noggin and Mammott can create a Drumpler. They only know the most recognizable monsters. The vid mostly boils down to how Wubbox ditches his friends for temporary fame and fortune as well as them making funny noises for music. Not addressing that the lore has the Monsters and Humans interact much, or the fact Wubbox has a creator: Galvana. Also, the "My" part isn't even an aspect of the parody. You could just make it about Dreamworks Trolls and everything stays the same. The comments are wittier than the video.
This is youtube, nothing is original
haha good one
True af
Sadly true...
I wanted to make videos but I couldn't of think anything original.
Fucking true....wait i mean *FUCKING TRUE*
There are tons of original content on youtube, what you're looking for is nothing original gets popular anymore.
on the subject of the animation being lazy, you cite Egoraptor as an example of a good one but it took Egoraptor months to make his incredibly short videos. Dorkly can get them out every 2 weeks. on the youtube platform one 3 minute video every few months isnt a viable way to run a channel. its inefficient. yes, all of Egoraptors videos are better than anything Dorkly ever could do but theres a reason why youtube animators like Egoraptor arnt around anymore. Those kinds of channels just cant thrive on youtube like they used to.
mrtangelo885 I wouldn't say that gives excuse to the animation but I have to say that it is a poor comparison when he does bring up a good example being Egoraptor which is it 2D animated parody of these games and has to build them from scratch
mrtangelo885 You're right, but the point of that segement was talking about the animation.
Personally the reason I would find Dorkly more viable than Egoraptor is because he pretty much outright abandoned his channel for animation and focuses entirely on GameGrumps. He can do whatever he wants with his life, but I hardly care about the quality of the work when I'm not getting any work to enjoy. Where's my reason to sub, or stick around on a community?
also Arin has another show
Dolphin _Dain123 if his animations actually made him enough money to live then he would have time. but they make him jack shit so its not worth the time investment.
I always thought Dorkly was nothing more than just video game sprites screaming "What the fuck" in every video.
it used to be funny...now its just "video game buzzfeed"
Dorkly reminds me alot of newer Family Guy
Is most agreed that Sonic for Hire is still the best and possibly the only good one that they could've done
*Hears intro and outro*
You got that from the Dollar Menu vaporwave mix, right? Loved that mix.
What's this?! A video sharing a constructive opposing opinion to popular views on the internet!? HERESY!!!
Tombocartoons While I completely understand why he dislikes Dorkly and won't tell him to like it otherwise. His point about Ness being an unlockable character is down right pathetic... because after just five or maybe less minutes of research. I found out Ness is a starter character in Meele, and with Peach in the video as well, it pretty much comfirmed it was a reference to Meele.
Going to have to disagree, as mario says in the video.
" The first Official Match can begin".
Can't be Melee if this is the first match.
I think he means that's a phrase from the original game, but not from Melee.
Well, just because it's an unpopular opinion doesn't mean it's automatically justified.
i never states that it did. i was implying that just because it's unpopular doesn't make it moot either. if people have an issue with the arguments he presented fair enough, but his opinion isn't automatically bad because it's not what you like to hear
Robot Chicken did a Parappa The Rapper joke where they had him say "punch kick punch kick" a bunch, and that was the entire joke for the whole skit.
That's Dorkly's entire repertoire.
That's why Dorkly is bad.
Sorry you got so many dislikes on this video, it's really nice to actually see someone come out against Dorkly. I used to like them but after watching a lot they just started feeling the same. Definitely liking
Wanted Walrus dislikes seem justified
Rainbow Dash in what way
He just gave his opinion on why dorkly, a shitty channel, is shitty. It's not like he said they deserve to die or anything.
Wanted Walrus I personally like Dorkly however it’s unbelievable how many dislikes he got for having an opinion I mean the video was well structured an he had some pretty good points so why the dislikes
Well the dislikes are probably to represent people doesn't agree with his point of view. I mean, is not like a punishment to give a video a dislike for something you don't agree with

XxoxProzSkilLzAV Ok, but that’s not the part which I don’t understand- what I don’t understand is why you’re likening this comment to a “hate comment” in the first place??
Tristan Hooglinschmirtz just so people can see an example of how to give constructive criticism
Lol ok, fair enough.
Great video BluShades. For a good while I thought I was the only person who thought Dorkly’s videos weren’t very good or funny.
Dorkly videos reminds me of really bad and unfunny sprite animation videos from newgrounds back in 2005
7K likes and 7k dislikes...never seen that before
The problem with Dorkly also applies with other video game related channels, if not, those about "nerd/geek culture" as a whole, because "it's cool to call yourself a nerd, but not to actually be a nerd", which is why you have clickbait based content, that not only feels bland, but sometimes disrespects the source material, as if the people behind it didn't do enough research.
Watchmojo once made a video list of "video game characters that need backstories", yet featured characters who already had backstories.
Hell, this is also one of the reasons why journalism for video games is terrible, so you get shit like Dark Souls comparisons.
If you want this style of Dorkly but better in every way, go watch Level Up
- ThatThereDelibird - tru
they have good animation but, level up always starts things and doesn't finish them.
Mario craft, Goomba Revolution , that thing about some cheese guy that I forgot what it's called.
After watching this I realized I never laughed at one of dorklys videos before
Watched this a few years ago and for some reason disliked it. Coming back with a different opinion, I had to remove my dislike because I now agree with him.
The only videos I like from them are honestly either the few videos that have jokes that haven't been used much ( Toad house is rigged video as an example ) or the rare series that they do ( sonic for hire ). Other than that, I agree that they're a pretty generic and lazy channel. Having said all that, they're still a guilty pleasure for me.
Same bro.
I honestly do agree with you. Dorkly is just flat out annoying, especially with the same voice actor doing all the same voices with little to no changes to them between characters.
Honestly, I entirely agree. I've never really liked Dorkly's comics/videos because they try too hard to be relatable. And when they're not doing that, they're trying too hard to be edgy or PC. Newgrounds are and Awkward Zombie far better at videogame parodies and comics than they ever will be.
And when they're not doing any of those things, they're being complete morons. *looks at the comic about Pokemon Stars.*
And it's a sad thing about the like/dislike ratio. Shows that some people truly can't accept constructive criticism.
While I disagree on a whole, I do admit they recycle certain sketches and some of their humor exists in the trope "Refuge in Audacity", but overall their willingness to get certain details such as the title character of Pokemon being "Red" and not "Ash" shows that they do at least do some research or know some of the material.
That said, I'll probably still watch them, but your opinions aren't invalid (although I personally don't believe they're 'right').
Although the whole 'Red, not Ash' thing isn't really too hard to find, especially back then where that comparison was done way too often.
Yeah, but it's still an error a lot of people make despite the game series having been out for as long as it has.

I just unsubed from Dorkly and then this is in my recommend. Good video
The amount of people upset with this is pathetic.
THANK YOU. Agreed wholeheartedly, I'm so happy to hear someone else say it. I do disagree about one point, though -- the reason they get tiny details mixed up is because they're old and they played these games 25 years ago, not because their only familiarity is through Wikis.
I think college humour have gotten a lot worse than dorkly did
5:14 editing fail, you forgot to cut the first time you said that

That's the joke, it's mimicking Dorkly's constant repeating the same method.

no its called lazy editing kid
May XXXTentacion Rest Forever In Peace no its called lazy editing kid.
Kidding, How do you manage to fail editing so that you repeat yourself, anyway?
The point of ness being there is that mario just doesn't want to hang out with his lame little brother so he tells him he's not unlocked
the dislikes... did people really get this mad over a video about fucking dorkly? it's completely umremarkable bottom-feeder gaming """comedy"""
Well you said yourself you don’t like video game humor, if you don’t care for it leave it alone
The like to dislike ratio...
i don understand it either
do people actually fucking like this garbage
It's worse when they have things like fantastic four and pixelate that even though there's no reason to pixelate something that's never been pixelated
too many dislikes, this video was great and all the points are true.
Their animation is better but their humor still sucks.
In regards to the Smash Bros. bit:
Ness happened to be on the starting roster in Super Smash Bros. Melee, while Luigi was still a secret character. Furthermore, Melee was the game where Peach joined the roster.
I'm gonna have to respectfully disagree. While yes humor is subjective, it sounds like you're wanting to have your opinion as fact. Now I'm sure you don't mean for it, or even intended for it to come off like that, but your heavy nitpicking and "it's not funny" dialogue comes off as thinking it should be hated by everyone. Now while I myself have barely watched Dorkly, only dabbling in and out at times. I can say what I have watched gave me a couple chuckles, but it just wasn't really my type of humor. This video just seems to be you saying you solely don't like their humor and they should change it when it has racked in millions of views for them. And as much as it saddens us, the world doesn't revolve solely around us. So if what they're doing is working, it's reasonable that people love Dorkly. I'm sorry if this came off as rude, I just wanted to get my point across.
"MY problem with Dorkly"
Captain Decimus ok? My point still stands
"I don't like Dorkly"
"You state your opinion like its a fact"
Bruh...do you even know what an opinion is?! :/
Alienrun Using "Bruh" in 2017 to try and counter an arguement
Nice reductio ad absurdum. That wasn't his argument mate.
I think with the Smash Bros video the main punchline wasn't really the fact that Luigi hasn't been unlocked yet, but more of a sort of inside joke that Luigi is constantly being hated on
FINALLY! Someone addresses this!
I was about to comment that lol
1 minute in, 'I don't like this video game humor, but then I don't like any video game humor in general'
I don't see why this guy watches it enough to make an anti video then. Just because something in comedy isn't your type of humor, doesn't mean there's something wrong with the material. Enough people found Dorkly funny to actually make a large, successful channel.
Because bias.
ejsdotalt he's pointing out a bias in the video and its in your world not you
