ANNOUNCEMENT:
Hey friends!
We’ve got some exciting news…LOWBROW HAS OFFICIALLY ACQUIRED DORKLY!!
Huh, Neat! But what does this mean?
This means new Dorkly Bits every week! New Shorts! Sequels to classic series! And eventually, new comics, podcasts, and a whole bunch of stuff! STUFF AND THINGS!
Sounds amazing, but what the hell is a Lowbrow?
Lowbrow Studios has been directing and animating Dorkly Bits since the very beginning of the channel,, over 500 Dorkly Bits ago. We’ve also edited sketches, punched up jokes, co-written scripts, as well as done a ton of voices!) Plus, we’re an animation studio with over 20 years of experience, and you know, we’re also the weirdos who made Sonic For Hire, Morty Kombat, and Megaman Dies at the End. We were born for this!
Dorkly has always had a special place in our hearts, and we plan on bringing in some of the old writers and talent to do some videos, as well as bring in some fresh new faces. It’s all very exciting and something we’ve been working on for the last few months.
These beans are very cool! How can I help?
A ton of production is underway, but Dorkly is now INDEPENDENT, and we need your support!
We have a Patreon with a lot of cool perks, including exclusive videos, giveaways, access to the Dorkly Discord as well as a brand new merch store! So please consider contributing if you’re able to. BTW, the first 100 people who sign up get a special thank-you gift!

Lastly, we want to thank CollegeHumor & Dropout for passing us the torch or giving us the keys to Bowser’s Flying Clown Car, whichever analogy works best here. We promise not to burn it down/crash it into a ditch. Speaking of Dropout.tv, we seriously recommend subscribing if you can; they’re doing amazing things over there!
Thank you all for reading this long thing. We’re very excited about this new phase of Dorkly and making Neat stuff for you.
Love,
Dorkly & Lowbrow

Dorkly is now independent! We wanted to start it off with a bang - Let us know who you want to see go BERSERK next!

[@berandom2000]

Even though it happened before in Metroid Dread, I for one, like to see Samus Go Berserk.

[@simonverse9466]

I would definitely like to see mega man go berserk

[@christianschoff2490]

I've seen Mario and Sonic went BERSERK. Hope to see Kirby, Mega Man, and Pikachu do the very same as well, 'cause that would be insane!

[@ther.w.d.channel1501]

Isn't Kirby always just on a rampage though?😂

[@iammask1073]

They did do Red goes Beserk so they may not do the Pikachu one.

Zelda saying "Nope!" prior to retreating back through the automated doors from whence she came was the most princess-y and royally funny thing she ever did in the entire video game franchise.

[@deveshbhambhani8896]

I like how Zelda came out the jail, saw Link going berserk, and went back to her solitude😂😂
