Here I am, guess I'll die.
(For the full effect, read this in the voice of Chris Demarais)

Greetings, Tropers. I see you have decided to visit my self-demonstrating page. Well, seeing as this will likely be one of the few bright spots I have in my meaningless existence, I suppose I can spare some time to tell you about myself... assuming Wiz won't need me for any testing anytime soon.

I am the Disposable Unit for Meticulous Match-up Investigations, though Wiz prefers to refer to me by the abbreviation "DUMMI". I was created for the purpose of demonstrating various powers on the show so he would not have to use his co-host or the interns. I can only presume he no longer wished to have to deal with the interns' grieving families coming after him whenever his testing resulted in their deaths. So, he decided to build me and my line.

Because my purpose is to be exploited and degraded for the amusement of Wiz and Boomsticknote , you can imagine I do not have a very optimistic outlook on life. Frankly, I look forward to my inevitable destruction because it means my suffering will end. Until then, all I can do is resign myself to fate.


The following are tropes that apply to me:


Me: Okay, so—[short-circuits and explodes]
Wiz: Boomstick, what did you just do?
Boomstick: Uh, sorry, just found some old trinkets used in our previous Death Battles...
Wiz: Ugh... at least his memory chip is fine... I'll build another.
