I was expecting a different Doom. But this is really funny.

This is one of those pointless, stupid, waste of time posts - that I enjoy immensely.

Goddamn that is nerdy.

Awesome.

Be sure to check out the other video of Dr. Doom's stand up comedy!

The Internet is a good place to be.

The economy must be hitting supervillains pretty hard if they're working for Gallagher.

It would appear he emigrated from Latveria and ended up in the Borscht Belt. It makes you wonder if Victor von Doom is a stage name, and he was born something like Morton Domskewicz.

Anyone remenber Gallagher, Too? Oh, God, I'm the only one, aren't I? I suspect that I may have wasted my life.

I think smashing lemons and grapefruit in front of an audience is the kind of thing that will end with people getting citric acid in their eyes but it seemed to work just fine.

Awesome. Maybe next time he can be MODOK.

I'm a man who appreciates smashing, but the highlight for me was the opening joke. It just kills me.


"How many of the Fantastic Four does it take to screw in a light bulb?"

*raises fists*

"ALL OF THEM!"

I believe Dr. Doom settled in Baltimore. The first video was filmed at a place called Golden West here.

Wow, maybe Doom, Carlos Mencia, and Dane Cook should team up for an Evil Overlords of Comedy tour, effectively killing stand-up once and for all.

(BTW, I'm pretty sure Dr. Doom isn't quite as right-wing as the real Gallagher.)

How was that funny? That should not have been funny, but it was in fact awesome.

It was the plaid wool cap... a perfect Doom costume, dead-on, fan-approved Dr. Doom costume... with a hipster hat on top. Doing stand-up. There is nothing non-funny about this.

Finally! A pursuit in which the accursed Richards cannot prevail!

So, uh, why exactly is Doom wielding Stormbreaker? I mean, when did Odin deem Dr. Doom worthy enough to lift it? Does Beta Ray Bill know it's missing?

I suspect that this falls outside of established cannon.

This Gallagher joke in Strange Interlude's link puzzled the ever-loving fuck out of me:

“Do you know the difference between a hard foul and a flagrant foul? A flagrant foul is French, and it’s faggy.”

What? What? What in the holy Christ does that even mean?
