Dexter Holland: The Most Interesting Person That Ever Lived

A 6 minute documentary about The Offspring's frontman in stunning standard definition.

[@vincewarren1271]

Life is a journey, not a destination. He is a perfect example of this.

[@jccanizal6410]

Exactly

[@hthythghutyjhg9936]

bingo ! enjoy your trip !

[@Lornahh]

He's just completing the side quests

[@miaknig3130]

Brains and talent seems unfair to the rest of us. People should only get to master one thing so that those of us who can barely walk and talk simultaneously, don't look so bad.

[@elhermeneutico]

I am more into heavy metal music, but I always have liked the Offspring. I am 38 years old and started a PhD last year. Believe me when I say Dexter Holland is one of my inspirations to start this endeavour at this age. I already put his name in my dissertation acknowledges.

[@ibelieveinsomething3895]

This man was soooo smarter than people think.

[@joefryfry]

Delivered him a pizza once. We spoke for a short bit. My lucky day.

[@yuhand_ayaninura]

This guy has both sides of his brain on full throttle. A newfound respect for Dexter Holland.

[@lordsubl1me]

hes like a main protagonist of a movie

[@carschmn]

Hahaha just picturing him working in a lab with that hair is hilarious.

[@Serrot304]

carschmn and if had a mohawk.

[@djperryboy]

@@Serrot304 Not that far from Einstein is it? Just a little shorter.

My religious mother got on to me so hard for listening to a band trying to cure HIV.

[@KingBlonde]

what lmao that's so wild

[@drappointment4509]

So religion prefers to have a virus around that kills thousands every year. Typical religion thinking without logic

[@MartyMcFly88]

Dexter is a legend

[@x9x9x9x9x9]

One of my favorite dexter lore stories that I can't find evidence of is; While at USC he was about to graduate or something and a professor said something about being super excited about going to an upcoming concert and somehow it was found the concert was to see The Offspring. Dexter spoke up and some how he had gone through the whole semester without the professor realizing Dexter was in his class. Turns out the Professor was a huge fan and had seen them live multiple times. I can't recall where I heard this but its one of my favorite stories even if its not true.

[@michalbukvai7548]

Greg Graffin, Dexter Holland - both university degrees, both highly intelligent, both neopunk legends, both great interesting person, both my fav band leaders.

[@TyDie85]

The Offspring is the band that inspired me to pick up a guitar and learn! This is old, but I don't care, it still holds true and I know some effort went into this video!

[@julian1858]

My oldest sister went to College 17 years ago. She started studying Biology and I told her she would be like dexter holland. And guess what, she is Ph.D Molecular Biology

[@juanmartin903]

Dr Dexter Holland is the definition of awesome

[@Mikehoncho191]

Piano song playing over dexter beating the fuck outta back street boys dolls is something I needed today

[@trevorwilliamson3227]

I love how they played the piano version of self esteem at the end

[@bgcgo5690]

Puts a whole new meaning in Dexters Laboratory!!😂

[@Bongaboi151]

That's why "The Kids Aren't Alright" is part of the TMB's repertoire. Dr. Holland, a made man of Troy.

[@ToxicCatz]

This is why I love this band so much.

[@Tracylindilou]

Hahahaha; Dexters Lab! Good one!!

[@Acad3myManiac]

I love this band and dex so much

[@Pukku07]

i don`t know english and i don`t understand nothing but self esteem on piano in the end is very great!!!

[@caffeineted]

Dexter inspired me to take Phd and remain punk rock.

[@user-ud7ko4cq1n]

Dexter: the only person on earth that can pilot a jet while playing his own best selling album in the cockpit to land at a lab to help cure AIDS.

[@ancapikitty]

Wow, this is a cool mini bio documentary about Dexter! Interesting stuff. Well put together! :D I love this band, and Dexter is indeed an awesome guy overall.

[@the__ushanka]

This video inspired me to do my homework

[@JohnD3000]

Dexter is amazing person!!!

[@riobaliairportdriver5559]

Man, this guy's impressive

[@Diamond_Tiara]

Even Dexter Holland is more of a scientist than Bill Nye.

[@evi-e]

[@agustinkyu]

[@AmzSongwriter007]

Nice arrangement of Self-Esteem at the end! Who did that?

[@davidmurphy8364]

Major props for using the outtro from Smash at the start, always loved that

[@lydiaventress6411]

My dad called Dexter Holland thick, so I showed him this... XD

[@danangland666]

dummy thick

Reminds me a bit to my other favourite singer, Bruce Dickinson

[@DanielVerberne]

Bruce is a certified commercial pilot, is that right?

[@fiscer247]

@@DanielVerberne Yes. He sometimes flew Ed Force One (Iron Maiden's tour plane).

[@conors4430]

Almost flew over the bush ranch in a plane with an anarchist sign on the tail. Fucking hilarious

[@maiii7733]

Aww... Dexter.... I love him

[@ViperRob]

Between him and Greg Graffin, punk is genius lol

[@theraposo4]

Dexter is fucking inspiring. I'm entering USC as a freshman this year and just graduated at the top of my high school class. Weird lol

[@GenericName3453]

He also has an IQ of 170.

[@Eleftherios9]

B1cycleRepairman ...but he probably wasn't using it when he bludgeoned those Backstreet Puppets.

[@GenericName3453]

Júlio César M. True, you don't need more than average IQ to realize that bludgeoning Backstreet Blow-up dolls is awesome.

[@Eleftherios9]

And it "perfectly" fit the mood of Woodstock.

[@Eleftherios9]

Or supposed mood.

[@lauraloyland3165]

Dexter Holland's IQ is 160

[@kozosdeszkasmagazin2359]

He is so inspiring

[@Oc3ans0fst4rs]

Hes so fucking awesome

[@djperryboy]

Well, I guess Dexter had One Fine Day at the laboratory

[@thebestofu-tubebytheresaes5189]

Love you Dexter

[@edsonrobles1548]

Still so cool!

[@KortKramer]

God bless you man. Love your hot sauce.

[@SpeshuIKayKay]

[@Ixnay]

Playing in Woodstock, getting PhD and also be a pilot.... All in the same lifetime? what the actually ffff....

[@malkinmalone]

Hearing Kevin and Bean makes me sad. How did kroq blow up that show? I will never listen to that radio station again as long as i live.

[@kapuska1234]

do you have any source or link for the ending song piano version of self esteem?

[@bigball135]

I will always love the offsprings

[@roxycauldwell544]

This video is so awesome! :D

[@SuzyTilley]

I agree with the title of this video for sure, but there is QUITE a bit of stuff that was left out about him.

[@lawlerking5]

Dope video thanks.

[@wyattbreymeyer4033]

joe rogan should have him on id be really intrested

[@wilburyarchive6251]

na Joe Rogan sucks

[@BrokenSofa]

Yeah dude that would be awesome

[@gkmackey]

A Renaissance man like Maynard James Keenan, but smarter.

[@DaPoopIsInDaPudding]

@Kevin Nix people always running to suck Maynard off

[@Theincrediblespud]

Probably friendlier at least

[@FortuneFinders]

Maynards lyrics definitely reflect that he’s WAY smarter than Dexter. Listen to Lateralus... like come on lol what has Dexter ever written that’s even remotely smart?

[@humanity6fl9]

A true tool fan.

[@annalaurademarinsserem5778]

I would do anything for this man

[@JDawg8733]

I would do ANYTHING for you beautiful

[@Krrrimmi]

Even their bandname OFFSPRING defines Dexter Holland's profession. As a molecular biologist. B-)

Change The World off Ixnay album

[@glasnost8863]

for a microbiologist I can't really say his vocab perplexes, especially when he describe a beaker still being ''friggin hot as hell''

[@ClassicalPan]

Glasnost88 How he speaks in a casual environment and how he writes about microbiology are entirely different things.

[@101777truth]

[@101777truth]

he has inside infomation

[@TTTac]

Damn science made one awesome song

[@dulcemaria980]

dr. dexter

[@dennisde7030]

Think it's time he did a Dos Equis commercial?

[@Crossbowrob77]

Song at 1997?

[@FairyFellersMasterStroke]

"Kick him when he's down". I think that's from the Ignition album.

[@djd-fect7467]

Can one actually live a fuller life

[@brucecampoy]

His real name is Bryan... so is this why he got the nickname "Dexter"... ?

[@MikeGilroyMusic]

Cause he's a Poin-dexter.

[@lascintilla2081]

Persi nelle notti Torinesi 2010

[@antihero7393]

what song is that at 2:09? for 1997?

[@theoffspring07]

Kick him when he's down

[@ranaajloney6702]

[@user-bg6il4hh2x]

Offspring was doing the “millennial whoop” way back before those annoying bands 2005-2015 right?

[@divljacina1]

[@trevorbohn8020]

*Stunning standard definition

I bet Dexter got his covid vaccine

Buckaroo Banzai

I’m so glad he got rid of those dreadful braids. They looked so bad.

[@kennybegeske8824]

He had diabetes type 2 diabetes

[@johnbraucher1499]

Ah so he worked for bill gates.

[@FreshTillDeath56]

Take it like a man

[@cannonfodder4000]

You call this a documentary? it's just a bunch of clips mashed together with little semblance of coherence or continuity.

[@imnotyourfriendbuddy1883]

wrong, the most interesting person ever is Ernst Jünger.

[@viking_nor]

Lol no he is not.not Even close
