So, now that all the episodes of Two More Eggs have aired, I'd like to theorize what Dooble's deal is.<br>

Everyone seems to be comparing his speech patterns to Homsar. But really, he seems a lot closer to Senor Cardgage in what he says. Except less mumbly and depressing. Sure, his voice is... closer to Homsar, but in terms of his personality he's cut from the Cardgage cloth. Why? Because Homsar seems only slightly aware of his surroundings, and mostly talks about himself no matter what the situation. Senor Cardgage can act based on what is going on around him, and it's clear that he has a relatively solid grasp on the situation (at least compared to Homsar). Same deal with Dooble. There's a lot of characters in TV shows and the like that seem to be half in a conversation and half isolated from it, like if you removed the other person they would sound like they were just making observations rather than talking to themselves. Dooble, and the people who talk to him, often follow that pattern. But the couple of occasions where it feels like there really is focus in the conversation (eg, the scientists actually giving Dooble what he wants) reassure the audience that everyone is aware of Dooble's presence, and vice versa.<br>

But there is one noticeable attribute Dooble possesses that reminds me of Homsar, and I don't think anyone has brought it up yet. It is what Strong Bad calls "powers of persuasion", but in a more supernatural sense. Dooble is a bit of a non-sequitur: as a character in general, but also in the situations to which he is added. Everything he says is at least slightly off, and at most very strange. Yet in roughly two sentences he is able to convince almost every character to side with him, do what he asks, follow him, or simply acknowledge his power. He convinces criminals to let him transport what we presume to be a body &mdash; and that it is a "good idea" &mdash; and then, upon being threatened with arrest and having the body bag compromised, appears inside ''as'' the body, prompting all of the policemen to dance along with him. This entire debacle could not possibly have cancelled out the charges, yet no arrest is made. More revealing is his appearance in the newsroom. Everyone is trying to get him off the set, but Dooble abruptly calls a cameraman by his name. The cameraman is taken aback, but Dooble asks him to turn the set lights off &mdash; and he does, forgetting that Dooble has no authority to do so. By the end of his song, and with no visible changes in their character or any sort of prompting on Dooble's part, the news anchors are suddenly singing along with him and rejoice when he solves the problem on which he was reporting. Even in his children's show appearance, he quickly convinces the characters that he is evil, and every decidedly neutral action he takes is cause for alarm. The moment he destroys the real villain, the characters all cheer for him. There is no hint of mistrust, no slow realization, not even an apology to Dooble for believing he was evil earlier. Perhaps there need not have been an apology, because Dooble knew he had convinced them simply by being present. He completely took over their minds.<br><br>

Or maybe I'm just overthinking this a lot. Good thing I didn't ramble about what statement Trauncles seems to be making.
