Scumbags of the Internet

"Welcome to Scumbags of the Internet, a new feature at A Dose of Buckley where I find the seediest motherfuckers online and expose them to you for their amusement." –Buckleyvideo|right|300px|link=Special:FilePath/Placeholder
Scumbags of the Internet is a supplement series to the comedy web series A Dose of Buckley. Like other supplement series created by Buckley, Scumbags of the Internet is unlike regular Doses in that episodes made of it are counted separately from the main series. It also focuses on a specific premise, that of exposing who Buckley believes to be the worst, most degradable people on the Internet. The people featured in this series may or may not be celebrities.
==History==
Scumbags of the Internet is one of Buckley's newer series, the first episode appearing on YouTube and Buckley's website on July 16, 2012. As of August 25, 2013, the series has had six episodes made. Four of the episodes have been about "regular dipshits", one being about "a nobody who's trying to become somebody off of someone else's fame"; the other two center around celebrities.
==Format==
Each Scumbags of the Internet episode looks at a person on the Internet, celebrity or not, that Buckley for any reason finds to be reprehensible. He then "exposes them to you for your amusement." Buckley's evidence for someone qualifying as a "scumbag" is often on social networks such as Facebook and Twitter; evidence of Scumbags has also been pointed out on the auction site eBay and the classified advertisement site Kijiji. Each episode is concluded with Buckley saying, "So, thanks to today's Scumbag of the Internet for making us all feel better by knowing no matter what we do in life, we'll always be better than they are."
Though an episode usually focuses on one person, episodes may also focus on several who are in the same situation.
==Episodes==
As of January 2021, the following are all of the episodes of Scumbags of the Internet. All sixteen are currently available on YouTube, with the first three also on the "Supplements" page of the official A Dose of Buckley website.
Episode 	Available on 	Release date(s) 	Summary
Number One 	ADoB website, YouTube	July 16, 2012 	After reading an advertisement on Kijiji written by a man claiming to be looking for a female "travel partner", Buckley believes he is not only looking for a female travel partner, but one who will have sex with him in exchange for travel fees. This makes the writer of the ad the first scumbag of the series.
Number Two 	ADoB website, YouTube	August 27, 2012 (re-upload)	Buckley comes across the Facebook profile of a man who has a shirtless profile picture, undiscernably typed status updates about getting drunk, and photos of himself and friends in tanktops drinking and giving the middle finger. "Mongo of the Mountains" also gets into comment wars about things like jobs he got fired from.
Number Three 	ADoB website, YouTube	November 11, 2012 	Chris Brown's Twitter activity, which includes photos dominated by expensive things he owns and Halloween costumes that make Buckley go WTSF, mindless Tweets, and deleting his mindless Tweets when it suits him, makes him the first celebrity Scumbag.
Number Four 	YouTube 	May 19, 2013 	UFC fighter Nate Diaz and Mike Kogan make it as Scumbags after their responses to the UFC when it took fighter Pat Healy's bonus prizes away after finding out he was on drugs when he earned them in a fight against Jim Miller. Diaz's response is calling the one who took the bonus instead a "fag". Diaz's manager Mike Kogan attempts to defend the usage of the word by saying "fag" means "bitch" in northern California, pointing to Urban Dictionary as proof. Needless to say, Buckley is disgusted with both of them.
Number Five 	YouTube 	May 22, 2013 	A person attempting to scam people on eBay earns from Buckley the nickname "ComicConArtist" and a place as a Scumbag for trying to sell a reprint of #129 of The Amazing Spiderman as if it is an original, much more valuable copy.
Number Six 	YouTube 	August 25, 2013 	Buckley reads an article by a writer named Carla who went on a date with radio host Jian Ghomeshi, whom she thought was gay. She describes in detail how throughout the date, she realized he was not gay and was making sexual advances toward her. She is labeled a scumbag for repeatedly playing victim for a situation she could have walked out of.
Number Seven 	YouTube 	May 24, 2014 	Buckley catches wind of American rock band Rd Jumpsuit Apparatus posting a photograph on their Facebook page without getting permission from Rohan Anderson, the photographer who owned the photo. RJA gets labelled as scumbags for their unprofessional behaviour in response to Anderson's threats of legal action, and for linking Anderson's blog to encourage their fans to bully him further.
Number Eight 	YouTube 	August 24, 2014 	Buckley's first personal encounter involves a Wikipedia editor who attempted to make a page for him. What earned Buckley's ire though is the "WikiExtortionist" then attempting to fleece him for $100 for the page, which violates the site's ToS.
Number Nine 	YouTube 	March 22, 2015 	In his first segment involving Tinder, Buckley reads a seemingly candid conversation between "Brock" and "Ava" at SXSW in Austin, TX. He soon discovers that "Ava" isn't real, and her Instagram is actually a poster of the film "Ex Machina". Buckley then proceeds to tear into the distributors for taking advantage of men on dating sites to promote their film.
Number Ten 	YouTube 	August 23, 2015 	The second installment in which Buckley gets personal when he is pointed to a now-former Odyssey writer named Rachael who wrote 10 articles for the website, all of which were plagiarized from Buckley himself. Naturally, he is furious that his work is not only ripped off, but also monetised.
This is the second installment of SOTI where the comments are turned off.
Number Eleven 	YouTube 	November 15, 2015 	This installment is about one of Buckley's friends, who had moved to another city, and was looking for work. She is approached by someone offering his services on Kijiji, but he was actually trying to sleep with her, earning the nickname "The Kijiji Kreeper".
Number Tweleve 	YouTube 	May 22, 2016 	This installment is about George Zimmerman, the convict charged with murdering Trayvon Martin. Claiming to let go of the past, Zimmerman attempts to sell the murder weapon on eBay, making bold claims that the gun is "a part of American history", and potentially selling it to some other psycho, thus earning the title of scumbag from Buckley.
Number Thirteen	YouTube 	June 4, 2017 	Buckley once again takes a trip to Tinder, and comes across a conversation between two individuals. What irritates Buckley is the gatekeeping that the "Comic Casanova" attempts, asking if the girl (revealed to be Marvel writer, Leah Williams) is a "true comic fan".
Number Fourteen	YouTube 	July 9, 2017 	Chance the Rapper and Kings of Leon threaten to cut ties with MTV in one way or another, over some unfavourable coverage of their latest work. Buckley labels all parties involved scumbags; the artists for calling for censorship of negative press, and MTV for pulling said reviews ,thus showing no integrity.
Number Fifteen 	YouTube 	August 27, 2017 	As an indirect follow-up to Plenty of Pricks #2, Buckley reads a exchange between that video's bachelorette ("Ashley", who shared the exchange with him), and "Leslie", the latter of whom he deems a scumbag for dictating another person's sexuality.
Number Sixteen 	YouTube 	July 4, 2020 	Buckley covers the "Koffee Karen", who is the woman who not only refused to wear a mask while at Starbucks, but also photographs the barista, and posted it on social media, effectively doxxing him. 
This is the only SOTI installment that Buckley followed up later.
