Okay, so, starting a new thing where I make silly rants about DHMIS merch/character/episode things. Here's this first one, which I think is fitting.
So, we all know the official DHMIS merch that you can buy in your local hot topic or Spencer's. I personally really like all the merchandise that has been made so far. So, I got to thinking about how many teachers actually have merch before I made this rant. So, here's my results:
Sketch: 3 (shown physically: 1)
Tony: 6!! HUH?! (shown physically: 4)
Shrig: 1 (shown physically: 0)
Colin (my silly): 1 (shown physically: 0)
Healthy gang: 2 (shown physically: 0. However, 1 piece of merch mentions the episode)
Larry: 3 (shown physically: 0. However, 2 pieces of merch mentions the episode)
I was originally only gonna say about the yt series teachers, but Warren also has a piece of merch where he's physically seen.
Okay, now that we've been through that, it's rant time.
AhHEhm *cough* UHHAUUH *cough, cough, gross cough*
COLIN NEEDS MERCH!!
Listen, I get it, Shrig has no merch, like, at all aside from one little word on a piece of Yellow Guy merch (same with Colin). However, Shrig never shows up in the TV series. I think he was supposed to, judging by a BTS picture of an unfinished Shrig puppet behind a W.I.P Warren puppet, but was cut for either time or, my theory, was replaced by Colin in the 4th episode in the TV series.
Quick summary of the theory, basically, Shrig and Warren are both joked about to be birds, and they both talk about different types of love, Shrig being romantic love, and Warren being friendship. There may be bigger reasons why Shrig was cut, but I got my Colin content that I craved for. Sorry, Shrig fans, maybe in another 50 years, you'll get your fill/lh.
Anyway, WHY DOES TONY HAVE SOOOO MUCH MERCH!? He only has ONE LINE in the ENTIRE TV SERIES!!! Meanwhile, Colin basically STEALS the 4th episode of the TV series. I honestly don't care that Colin, Tony, and Sketch have all canonical been in the same room (I kinda do bc I'm a DT shipper lol), Colin STOLE the show. He's 100% best character in my eyes.
Why doesn't he have merch? There is SOOOO much possibilities for merch. Maybe something that's corny that says: "The internet only has 3 things: 1. Charts, 2. Digital style, 3. Digital Dancing" or, maybe even with a lyric from his song with a picture of him. I would like a plush of him, but we only have the main 3 for now (I WANT THE YELLOW GUY ONE SM!!) So, I want a hoodie, shirt, or pants, mainly hoodie.
So, in conclusion, Colin needs merch.
In all seriousness, don't harass Becky, Joe, or anyone who created the show for merch, let them take their time with other projects, and this goes with anything.
I love the merch and we should feel lucky we have this silly show have actual really cool merch. My favorite of all the merch I own so far, is the "Dreams" pajama pants, they're so comfortable and I recommend them.
Go support the creators of DHMIS and small businesses who makes merch inspired by the show itself.
Closing question, what DHMIS merch would yall wanna see in the future?
Anyway, thanks for reading my dumb rant, all of this is light hearted :D
[FINAL WORD COUNT!!: 580!!]
