On paper it sounds like a really good idea. I could see how this could back fire fairly hard though. If they were going to do this it would have to reset their up punches every time they got punched and make it so they can't be hit again for at least a week or so. Also there would have to be some way to keep ppl from going overboard with the beating and a way to prove that they punched the person in question.
What happens if it turns out there are more douchebags than non-douchebags in the world? You might get people 'up punching' women they don't like in the games industry... for example..
I'm imagining an "Enemy at the Gates" scenario where two registered bullies are also on the doucherectory and are hunting reach other for the punchbucks. Sequel?
And James has increasingly been cast as the angry, aggressive dude (see: Social Anxiety Fear Factor). I'm not sure how to feel about either of these developments.
I fully expected the stinger to be Paul's character discovering that once his app was out in the wild, his own profile had been "Up-Punched" significantly... and now the bullies were all after him.
I loved the camera positioning for the backgrounds at the start. Looked entirely like two different places before the middle section was revealed. Definitely my favorite part about this.
VAB0L0 Well, the rules state that can't always overrules can or must (for example; a creature that can't attack may not be forced to attack) so in this case can't be added to douchectory over rules being added to it.
Relevant to recent events, the people-rating network Peeple is looking to be the first step towards actually getting funding for this sort of dystopia.
Down to the vapid music and panning camera, this is a beautiful parody of so many startup videos. Now take all the money, have a dozen launch parties, and never release a product!
Nothing happened to Jonny; Chad's just using the picture of a more famous bro that he kinda looks like to try and grab additional cred from unsuspecting people. So not only is Chad all those things described in the video, he's also a fraud. That deserves an up-punch.
Everyone's talking about Chad, but I lost it at the Bully's rewards. Butt Stuff VII, concept art for Butt Stuff V. Someone has a filthy filthy mind, and we love you for it. PS: My guess is that it was Kathleen.
A more legal and better app that is very similar to this needs to happen. Although, I do have to wonder if politicians are exempt. If so, how high on the totem pole would you have to be to become immune? Would a small town mayor suffice? Or maybe only the president (or whatever the office is for our foreign friends around the world)?
Why is this not a thing? Instead of 'punch-bucks', douche-rectory people just need to post photos/video of them beating up someone else in the douche-rectory and have the up-votes taken off their douch-rectory rating. I would back the hell out of that.
the problem is this is just if anyone is angry at anyone else this could happen to them -i get complaints from people everyday because they don't like something i have no control over - and then they blame me for it im just the guy at the desk i don't control this stuff
This app was doomed to failure when celebrities and politicians would always have the most up-punches. Which would explain the legal response in the stinger.
This wouldn't work for the same reason that Eugenics didn't/doesn't. But that doesn't mean I don't find the video hilarious, because I certainly do :p.
I just noticed that in the "real-time tracking" bit, this video takes place in Toronto. I guess it is pretty accurate, as I know quite a few assholes in this city.
Man. I dont hate graham and I would never want him to ever get hurt, however I really felt dissapointed coming away from this that I didnt get to see someone get punched in the face. Stunt Face....
HA! I love the idea, but it is too idealistic (and illegal) to work. Even if you could make an app and have people go out to punch others (legally), it would be easy to game the system and have a bunch of people hit who didn't really deserve it like the A-holes Graham played or Paul talked about. :D Good video though. Nice stinger too. =w= b
basilmemories I hate to tell you this... but it really exists. it's not called Punchr... but for about 30 bucks you can pay to have somebody who deserves it, punched.
how? is this not a thing i think this is a thing if it's not it needs to be. 650hrs of community service and a fine for making the world a better place? value.
I know that some videos are set to private, and only some people can comment on them - then the video is later set to public? Is this what happened here? And if so, _two days?_ 'cause to me, this video was just released, but there are already comments that are two days old. I'm confused.
I'd imagine that "punchee's" profiles are generated by users who want to "up-punch" them in the first place. "Hey, uh, 'bro'... can I get your picture? It's, um... for my mom? (heh, sucker)"
![Giving Up [commodoreHUSTLE]](/img/n.gif)
I would donate to this Kickstarter. I would donate so much.
How about Punchstarter? Or is that too much of a punchline?
Cristal3
get in the doucherectory...that was painful
This would not test well in Texas.....
hi tolarian! what guild are you with?
+Matrix_ Orzhov.
Because Orzhov.
Watching this again after all these years, I still love how well the split at 0:59 works
LRR, you guys joke about this, but I'm pretty sure that if someone were to actually Kickstart this, it would get funded inside 48 hours...
More like 48 minutes.
Less... far less than 48 hrs.
On paper it sounds like a really good idea. I could see how this could back fire fairly hard though. If they were going to do this it would have to reset their up punches every time they got punched and make it so they can't be hit again for at least a week or so.

Jandau85 And then it was made in China, according to the latest Feed Dump
I'm imagining an "Enemy at the Gates" scenario where two registered bullies are also on the doucherectory and are hunting reach other for the punchbucks. Sequel?
He swirlied first. ...he SWIRLIED FIRST!!
Graham plays the bro really really well.
And James has increasingly been cast as the angry, aggressive dude (see: Social Anxiety Fear Factor). I'm not sure how to feel about either of these developments.
Trisha Lynn He just pulls off the role way too well >< I mean its not he's an angry dude in real life, so everything's good right?
Nothing evokes a bigger sense of dread than someone with a punchr phonecase taking a photo of you.
"And is currently in fourth place in an unsanctioned bare knuckles boxing league" is such a perfect line.
Throws money at screen.
Shut up and take my money!
Paul was wonderful in this. The 'finger cage' was perfect.
It's called a scholars cradle
I fully expected the stinger to be Paul's character discovering that once his app was out in the wild, his own profile had been "Up-Punched" significantly... and now the bullies were all after him.
I was thinking along those lines, but realized that he probably has a say in who gets added to the doucherectory.
I love the nods to the Twitch chat in the Punchr profile shot.
I loved the camera positioning for the backgrounds at the start. Looked entirely like two different places before the middle section was revealed. Definitely my favorite part about this.
Its a green screen...
b0b1goat2 I'm not sure about this, but I think it is actually the same place, and not a green screen. Or if it is, it's a green screen of one place.
b0b1goat2 Watch the loading time that just came out.
This needs a kickstarter...get it
more like a...Punchstarter...:D
CrimsonKingdom Ha
I love that this became a real thing in China.
I would totally fund this if it were a real business.
Where is your partner, Mr. Dengler? Is Mr. Butts busy with Police work? ;)

It didn't even take a year for a real version of this to come up on feed dump.
That reminds me of the saying "I wish I where a Kraken so I can punch 8 people at the same time"
Brings new meaning to "ordering a hit on someone."
I am behind this 100%. The world needs Punchr, it must exist!
Is there a backer tier to guarantee I won't be added to the douchectory, no matter how much I deserve it?
OK, and what would happen if you backed at that tier, and someone else backed at the tier where they could add you to it, no questions asked?
Michael Moore
Always the same, these Kickstarter campaigns, always some fatal drawback.
Excepting the LRR Kickstarter of course.
Michael Moore
* turns head around *
JUUUUUUUUUUUDGE!
VAB0L0 Well, the rules state that can't always overrules can or must (for example; a creature that can't attack may not be forced to attack) so in this case can't be added to douchectory over rules being added to it.
Wait, are we in the Multiverse now? That explains why I found it so hard to get a New Years resolution! F***ing counter spells.
1:08 That was FANTASTIC. Very well done.
Relevant to recent events, the people-rating network Peeple is looking to be the first step towards actually getting funding for this sort of dystopia.
Even more relevant that rumblr has been announced.
Down to the vapid music and panning camera, this is a beautiful parody of so many startup videos. Now take all the money, have a dozen launch parties, and never release a product!
Though everything about this was gold, the best part for me was the series of descriptions of current social media sites.
Shall we add Jeremy from Unsleeved Media to the Doucherectory?
I like how this is better executed than adds or kickstarter videos for real apps
This makes me unreasonably happy
My Dad and I have been watching each video as they've come out over the past few months. This was the first he asked to stop watching.
WAIT WAIT WAIT. Chad's punchr profile is from the last Jonny video! WHAT HAPPENED TO JONNY!!!!
Nothing happened to Jonny; Chad's just using the picture of a more famous bro that he kinda looks like to try and grab additional cred from unsuspecting people.
So not only is Chad all those things described in the video, he's also a fraud. That deserves an up-punch.
How DARE Chad try to defile the name of our beloved Jonny! PUNCH HIM MOAR!
I would install and use this throughout all of the rest of my days
Are you Dwayne?
Or Chad?
Somewhere between the two. But more like Dwayne.
Everyone's talking about Chad, but I lost it at the Bully's rewards. Butt Stuff VII, concept art for Butt Stuff V. Someone has a filthy filthy mind, and we love you for it.
PS: My guess is that it was Kathleen.
it's a shame this will never be a real thing.
A more legal and better app that is very similar to this needs to happen. Although, I do have to wonder if politicians are exempt. If so, how high on the totem pole would you have to be to become immune? Would a small town mayor suffice? Or maybe only the president (or whatever the office is for our foreign friends around the world)?
Best app ever can't wait for the kickstarter to go live.
Saw that punchline coming.
I'm disappointed that Chad didn't have a squash racket.
Does the special iPhone case come with a cartoonish red boxing glove that deploys at the click of a button? It would certainly make tagging more fun.
This needs to be real please someone make it real I would pay to make it happen
Where is the page for me to start funding this project... and to sign up as a puncher?
Parts of this are actually a good idea.
Why is this not a thing? Instead of 'punch-bucks', douche-rectory people just need to post photos/video of them beating up someone else in the douche-rectory and have the up-votes taken off their douch-rectory rating. I would back the hell out of that.
If this existed in house he'd be beat up regularly
This app would make some serious money!
the problem is this is just if anyone is angry at anyone else this could happen to them -i get complaints from people everyday because they don't like something i have no control over - and then they blame me for it im just the guy at the desk i don't control this stuff
Chaosmage42 I don't think assault is worth it if you only get 20 Punchbux.
i don't think its a good idea
Chaosmage42 You'd have to be a jerk to be worth assaulting though.
i don't know about that people hold grudges over stupid things
Thing is, though... To make it worth it you'd have to have something like 200 people with grudges on you. At that point you're a jerk.
How can I sign up as one of these "registered bullies?"
10/10 would back
Ken Lawson is Doing Gods work!!!
oh my god you are the next einstien
I wish this app was real
10/10 would fund punchr
Don't know how I got here; I don't care. This kickstarter needs to be a thing
Punchr? I hardly know her!
This app was doomed to failure when celebrities and politicians would always have the most up-punches. Which would explain the legal response in the stinger.
I do not like the app's logo. The fist in the middle makes it look like it's named "Pumchr."
Well, some people like to pummel.
Powerpuff God Pummlr?
Please make a kickstarter for this I will literally give you all my money. All of it.
Okay internet, you can make it happen!
This wouldn't work for the same reason that Eugenics didn't/doesn't.
But that doesn't mean I don't find the video hilarious, because I certainly do :p.
vigilantly justice
This needs to be made
A better place... for most people
I would buy this.
I just noticed that in the "real-time tracking" bit, this video takes place in Toronto. I guess it is pretty accurate, as I know quite a few assholes in this city.
i wish this existed
Man. I dont hate graham and I would never want him to ever get hurt, however I really felt dissapointed coming away from this that I didnt get to see someone get punched in the face.
Stunt Face....
Can I get this app for Windows Phone? I have some people to add...
When's the Android app coming out?
you use windows phone, TAGGED
I actually want this to be a thing
If only this wasn't so illegal
Six years ago???
please make punchr a real thing, i would pay top dollar for it
What sucks is part of me wishes this exists :(
This needs to be real.
HA! I love the idea, but it is too idealistic (and illegal) to work. Even if you could make an app and have people go out to punch others (legally), it would be easy to game the system and have a bunch of people hit who didn't really deserve it like the A-holes Graham played or Paul talked about.
:D Good video though. Nice stinger too. =w= b
ok a lot of people are joking about this but i would actually donate and use this app.
I should totally dev this.
so, i don't have a smart phone. However if this was real i would get one just for this app.
Algorithmic Punch (r?)
Why are we not funding this?
well rumblr is a real thing now...
Ken Penders would work well in the doucherectory
This is the best fake idea I've ever seen!
Please put the limited edition punchr phone case on the lrr store.
Man I would want an English version but then I remembered, oh right. Gamergate would have access to it too, nevermind.
basilmemories I hate to tell you this... but it really exists. it's not called Punchr... but for about 30 bucks you can pay to have somebody who deserves it, punched.
10/10 downloading app now.
I would soooooo buy this app
I have dual lands that I can liquidate to make this happen.
I don't even have a cell phone and I want this ap
WHY IS THIS JUST A SCETCH!!!!!!!!!
I want this to be real
how? is this not a thing i think this is a thing if it's not it needs to be. 650hrs of community service and a fine for making the world a better place? value.
I need this!
I know that some videos are set to private, and only some people can comment on them - then the video is later set to public? Is this what happened here? And if so, _two days?_ 'cause to me, this video was just released, but there are already comments that are two days old. I'm confused.
People who donated to LRRs Kickstarter get to see these over the weekend before they're made public on Mondays.
SosaStarlight Aaaaahhhh, I see. Never knew that.
Why aren't we funding these?
I want this app on my phone NOW
You can in China
Shut up and take my money!!
But seriously why aren't we funding this?
I want it!
I want this app.
Welp. It happened.
is is so good
Please do this.
But why would the Chads want to make an account in the first place?
I'd imagine that "punchee's" profiles are generated by users who want to "up-punch" them in the first place. "Hey, uh, 'bro'... can I get your picture? It's, um... for my mom? (heh, sucker)"
