WAIT... Remember Dan Vs.?

Dan Vs. is one of those shows that really thrives in the fact that word of mouth really helped bring people, like myself, to give the series a shot. Today, let's take a look back at Dan Vs. to see what it was all about and why it may be worth giving a shot if you've never seen it!

Curtis Armstrong (Dan's VA) once walked by our booth at a convention in Indianapolis shortly after Dan vs. ended. I said to him "Hey! I love Dan vs." and he said in the saddest voice I could imagine "Yeah... so did I" and he literally hung his head and walked away. This wasn't a bit; the man seemed legit devastated :(

[@JamJuice101]

The fact that _Dan vs._ aired on the same channel as _My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic_ is like the show just predates Isabelle and DOOM Guy or Barbie and Oppenheimer.

[@ElPalomoRompeweas3000]

I think one of the reasons that Dan works so perfectly as a character is that characters with negative qualities are, most of the time, some of the most relatable characters in fiction, we've all slacked off like Mordecai and Rigby, we've all felt indifferent at others like Daria and we've all felt angry about the world surrounding us like Dan does. Negative qualities are more relatable than positive ones because they happen more often.

[@ajstudios9210]

Exactly. It's why characters who have nearly perfect lives are less endearing.

[@arielamaya4177]

⁠@InevitableOption-ic2vx very true, the kids of today preferred Omni man and Homelander. I asked my little brother (age 10) who would win in a fight between Superman and Omni man. He said Omni man because he wouldn’t hold back.

[@poweroffriendship2.0]

Sometimes, flaws are something that we as humans can't escape from and same can't be said with fictional characters whose flaws shows that not everyone is perfect.

[@soulkibble1466]

Superman's positivity can work. The problem is that people kept shoehorning in the "evil superman" subplot and not understand he's a human first, alien second. His whole struggle is trying to be a good person while being careful not to hurt anyone.

@usanatv2007sentertainmentinc. for me as a kid it was weird. Not in a bad way, just the range of shows on it was odd. You had ALF then Transformers Animated then MLP then Dan Vs

[@Melvinshermen]

@usanatv2007sentertainmentinc.when i think, there have show like Dan vs and shezow and make me both thing, that Why does i feel grow man watch a cartoon about talking Horse is not weird as this. And shezow is about corssdress superhero

[@Evflasky]

A key aspect of this show that really made it for me was that when Dan gets angry at something and seeks out revenge, more often than not his conspiracies are…usually proven right! In addition, he ends up winning most of the time against things like a supervillain dentist, an animal shelter, or the ENTIRETY OF CANADA. It’s such a welcome subversion of the typical “you’re just imagining things” or “just desserts” these kind of scenarios lend themselves to. It also makes Dan feel more like the protagonist and less like an antagonistic main character.

[@Unpredictable.0216]

I still watch this show till this day, it was way before it’s time. 😢

[@allisoncurty650]

I was not old enough for this show when it was running, but as an adult, I think it is funny and relatable!

[@NemoCandyFace]

There are 53 episodes of Dan Vs. and to this day I have only watched 52. I can not bring myself to watch Summer Camp, because it would represent me personally and officially closing the door on the series. I would love it if they would bring this show back. Thanks for doing this video!

[@NinaMarieNPianoKeys]

HELL, YEAH, BROTHER! Dan Vs needs to be retooled as an adult show and also have it on Netflix too

[@mlpclipsgalore3731]

Actually, Adult Swim was literally the very first network that the show was pitched too. But they rejected it for some reason.

[@vullord666]

I honestly prefer it as a family show. Humor in adult shows gets really dry really fast because all they seem to know how to do is repeat the exact same inappropriate jokes constantly. Shows like Regular Show and Dan Vs and the Amazing World of Gumball are GOATED and imo far better comedy shows than any adult show because they actually have to get creative with their comedy.

I always liked how varied it was, for lack of a better word. Sometimes Dan would go up against some big conspiracy, sometimes it would be something mundane. Sometimes Dan would succeed in getting revenge, sometimes his priorities would change, and sometimes he would outright fail. It’s a show that definitely could have lasted a few more seasons, but it just wasn’t meant to be.
