Open Beta Day 1

"*Please tell your friends that I'm still alive. I mean, fuck.*"
―Erik
Open Beta Day 1 is an Open Beta lesson of Internet Comment Etiquette. This lesson used the format of what would become Tweets From the Class. It was released on February 17, 2015.

## Summary

Erik welcomes his students to the Open Beta and asks them to submit any bug reports to him through Twitter. He goes on Twitter to review some of the ones that have already been submitted, but it's just someone who thought that Erik had died. Erik replies to it by sending a tweet to Donald Trump. Then he gets another one, so he send another tweet to Donald Trump.

He decides to switch over to YouTube to find important questions, but it's just another comment that thinks he died, so Erik replies from the perspective of his lawyer.

## Comments

*Rest in peace my brother. I will miss all the laughs I had watching your videos trough the years that has passed. You Erik was one of the coolest lads on YouTube. My condolences to your friends and family. May Helga be proud of your accomplishments rewriting today's comment-sections. good night sweet prince.*
- WickedMLG

*+WickedMLG Hi this is Erik's lawyer. Unfortunately I regret to confirm that Erik passed away when his body just couldn't handle how many times he had fucked your mom. It really was an astronomical number and a testament to your mother's stamina that she did not succumb as well. Though if she had, we're all pretty sure Erik would be fucking her right now in the great beyond. We've started a scholarship fund in Erik's name, so just let us know what middle school you're currently enrolled in and we can get the ball rolling on that. Much like how Erik rolled balls deep in your mom. Anyway enjoy your childhood.*
- Erik

Learning to Fight (Part One)

"*Hey Erik, you should fight that guy.*"
―Quarantine Erik
Learning to Fight (Part One) is the 146th lesson of Internet Comment Etiquette and the first lesson in the Learning to Fight series. It was released on April 17, 2022.

## Summary

Erik watches other YouTubers working out, so Quarantine Erik suggests that Erik fight them. Erik agrees to fight DJ Welch in the Creator Clash, and he realizes that he needs to learn how to fight and realizes that his drink was piss. Erik explains the Creator Clash and gets out his Giant Enter Button that plays clips of him getting punched. He watches some clips of Empty Force fights and leaves his comment, but it's the same comment that someone else posted. He explores the channel and sees that it's very de-optimized.

## Comments

*Powerful energies. I can feel the power through my computer screen*
- Erik and skoobi doobidoo

*I am also a student of the EFO Empty Force technique. I use my focused chi blasts to knock people over at my local Trader Joes when they're taking too long to select their fair trade coffee beans. One time I shot a chi ball out of my elbow and it blew a woman's leg off. I can't help but worry about the implications of this dark magic. I spent an entire night shooting chi blasts straight down at the ground and created a hole so deep it took almost an hour to levitate myself back to the surface. Then a kid fell in the hole or something, I dunno. The point I'm trying to make is I miss the times before I discovered this godlike ability to shut down other peoples' nervous systems with a mere glance. Things were simpler. I had a wife. But she left when she found out I was astral projecting across town to stick my ghost dick in whatever glory holes I could find. And even then the glory holes were pointless because I could just phase through the wall and see who was on the other side.**I also remember what it was like to experience silence, but ever since learning EFO Empty Force I can only hear whatever dark spirit granted me this cursed ability. It tells me to grow my power, create bigger chi balls. And when I can make a big enough chi ball I will become a conduit for the awakening of something that was banished from this world long ago. And I will infect as many disgusting humans as I can by teaching EFO Empty Force seminars to people who think the earth is flat. We'll all chi blast together and finally relieve humanity of its burdens, as all will be decided in an instant.*

It successfully navigated Canada, Germany, and the Netherlands, but its trip to the United States was tragically cut short in 2015 when it was murdered in Philadelphia.

Private Investigator Erik sought to discover the identity of HitchBot's killer, so HitchBot uploaded itself to Private Investigator Erik's laptop. It's here that HitchBot revealed that it was killed by Ted Cruz. Cruz killed HitchBot because he was jealous that HitchBot was the better robot.

## Physical Description

HitchBot was constructed with basic components with its body being made of a plastic bucket. Its face was a screen with a friendly glowing eyes and smile behind a protective transparent face shield. Following its destruction, it uploaded itself to Private Investigator Erik's laptop and took the form of its face on the screen.

QAnon followers can be recognized by various callsigns and phrases they use, including "The Storm," "Where We Go One We Go All (WWG1WGA)," and "The Great Awakening." They fermented and spread on sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. After QAnon followers attacked the United States Capitol Building, they were banned from these platforms and went to other places such as Parler and Telegram.

Erik sometimes interacts with QAnon followers by sending them recordings of his own farts on Telegram.

"*I'm the only one who can stop you. This is for our dear mother.*"
―Professor Hindley[src]
Professor Hindley was a professor of occultism. In 1984, the Goat Head Killer killed his entire family, and Hindley was the only one to escape.

Narfi

Narfi V

Narfi is the name of several identical dogs owned by Erik. Erik often neglects his Narfis, so they sometimes die and he has to replace them. One or more of the Narfis star in Art with Narfi. Based on Erik's to-do list in Staying Unmotivated, it can be assumed that all of the Narfis are clones of an original Narfi.

## Biography

### Original Narfi

Erik originally got a puppy named Narfi to make a lesson about puppies, but his students kept calling him fat so he had to make a lesson that instead. He also used Narfi by threatening to throw her in the trash if students didn't pay attention. Most of Erik's time with Narfi was to set up social media accounts for her, so he didn't house-train her or feed her. She died as a result.

### Narfi I

Erik brought a new dog to the Etiquesette and claimed it was the same one. He gives her the Instagram account that he had set up, but she plays with the electrical cord and dies.

### Narfi II

Narfi II replaces Narfi I and helps Erik reply to some comments on Art with Narfi. Erik gets distracted by the lesson, however, and Narfi II plays with a lawn mower.

### Narfi III

Erik tries to get Narfi III to become a hero so she'll be famous on social media. Erik tells her that the dog Jiffpom is the leader of ISIS and has Narfi take him out. Narfi goes over to play with the electrical cord instead.

### Narfi IV

The next Narfi was cut from the Social Media Pets lesson because Facebook deleted her account. This Narfi is actually the daughter of Loki and seeks to escape the confines of her dog body so she can take her rightful place on the throne of chaos. Then she plays with C4.

### Narfi V

Narfi became upset following a barrage of fireworks outside of Erik's window, so Erik trained her to not be scared by firing a rifle in her direction. She survived, but then Erik decided to test her with a grenade and she presumably died.

### Narfi VI

Erik talks about people playing with fire, so Narfi wants to play. Eventually she understands and brings Erik a flaming cardboard box. When Erik goes on the run after crashing the cryptocurrency market, Narfi tries to get Erik's gun and shoots herself.

### Narfi VII

Narfi watched Erik get kidnapped because she wanted to play instead of fight. This was presumably the same Narfi that was killed by P.T. Barnum.

Optimization

Optimization is the process of ensuring that something performs at maximum capacity. Optimizing a YouTube channel has been the subject of multiple lessons on Internet Comment Etiquette with Erik.

A variety of techniques can be used to optimize a channel, but the key is that they draw in viewers. As such, the single most effective optimization tool is to put titties all over the channel. Other techniques include polished channel trailers (it can even be about someone else's channel), lively channel about descriptions, end slates with lots of videos, subtitles targeted at foreigners, and crediting other YouTubers regardless of whether they actually appeared in a video.

The opposite of optimization is de-optimization. If a channel becomes too optimized, de-optimization may be necessary. The goal of de-optimization is to drive loyal fans away from the channel. The primary method is by replacing any titties on the channel with a dude's butt. Other techniques include making content unrelated to the channel, raising merchandise prices, and just being an asshole.

The opposite of de-optimization is not optimization, but re-optimization.

Offensive Tweets

"*Oh, privilege check! Privilege check! You do not have permission to get that upset over that tweet. Let me show you a tweet that would deserve this response.*"
―Erik
Offensive Tweets is the 24th lesson of Internet Comment Etiquette. It was released on April 7, 2015.

## Summary

Erik decides to investigate The Daily Show host Trevor Noah. He finds that Noah made some tweets that had jokes about women and Jews. He finds people in the replies overreacting and being racist, so he gives them a privilege check. Then Erik posts an even worse tweet to show what would warrant a response like that.

Erik looks at another one of Trevor Noah's tweets, but the replies overreact again. They get another privilege check and Erik give another example of what would warrant a response like that. Then Erik digs up an old video of Jon Stewart making a crude sexual joke. Erik is upset that he had to cut his vacation short over something so unimportant. Then he sees a much worse Trevor Noah tweet, so Erik tries to deflect from his own tweets by saying his Twitter got hacked.

Erik also points out that Ted Cruz tweeted out that he throat fucked a dog, but then Cruz says that his Twitter got hacked. Then the Jon Stewart clip continues to a joke about Jews and Blacks.

―Erik
Pale Blue Flat Dot is the 38th lesson of Internet Comment Etiquette. It was released on February 2, 2016.

## Summary

Erik notices that celebrities such as B.o.B. and Tila Tequila insist that the Earth is flat. He asks B.o.B. to halt his investigations. Then he finds someone insisting that Tila Tequila and orders him to abandon his investigation as well. Looking at non-famous people, he finds a guy that thinks the Earth is flat because he saw the sun and the moon in the sky at the same time. Erik reveals himself as a Shadow Master and asks him to cease his investigations. Then Erik watches a Mark Dice video and listens to a new song where B.o.B. takes back his belief in flat earth. Finally, Erik sends a tweet to Ted Cruz.

## Comments

Erik finds Shrekli's Twitter account and asks for an interview. Shrekli says no, so Erik is officially in the middle of it. More people send tweets to Shkreli, so Shkreli gets even more in the middle of it. Erik decides that Shkreli is acting like a rebellious teenager, to the point that he's posting Eminem lyrics. Erik tries to get Eminem in the middle of it as well.

Shkreli falters under the pressure and stops replying to tweets, so Erik gets back into the middle of it.

Open Beta Day 2

"*I'd say everyone's comments today get an A+. Except for you Scott. You get a fucking F.*"
―Erik
Open Beta Day 2 is an Open Beta lesson of Internet Comment Etiquette. It was released on February 18, 2015.

## Summary

Erik continues from Open Beta Day 1, looking at feedback from his students. He looks on Twitter and finds some students making fat jokes about him. He keeps looping for a real question, and he finds a student asks him if he will make videos that answer students' questions. Erik answers "NO" and then explains to the viewer that the answer is actually yes. Then Kebabman lets Erik know that he found a bug but offers no details.

He attempts to find feedback on Facebook next but they're just arguing about politics so he ignores them. He then looks at YouTube comments but doesn't like how his students are behaving so he reports them all for spam. Then he gives them all an A+, except for Scott, who gets a D-.

## Comments

*@commentiquette will we be able to submit comment etiquette questions to you for you to make a series of them?*
- @theslipperyship

*@theslipperyship NO*
- Erik

*I would recommend against moving channels. Why lose the subscribers for no reason? Plus, the letsGOtoCLASS channel name is a lot more memorable than "commentiquette". I think you should stay here. Then again, my name is Doooooooooooope, what the fuck do I know*
- Doooooooooooope

*+Doooooooooooope Well listen Doooooooooope change can be an exciting thing. I'm sure the new channel will have its pitfalls in the beginning, but just know that every time I load that new youtube page at www.youtube.com/commentiquette it brings a smile to my face knowing that my passion in life finally has its own home. I hope to make it a happy home, and I promise that my happiness will shine in each and every lesson I make for you.*

*This article is about the lesson. For the conspiracy theorist, see Mark Dice.*

"*All right, well if I look a little haggard, it's because I spent the last couple weeks hiding from Mark Dice. That guy's got my number, and when that dude's after you, you really need to go underground.*"
―Erik
Markus Dice is the second Tweets From the Class. It was released on March 5, 2015.

## Summary

Erik introduces Tweets from the Clerk. He explains that he's hiding from Mark Dice after their feud in Conspiracy Theories. But then he comes across students complaining about the name of Tweets From the Class so he offers to change it to *etiquestions from everyone involved with the viewing of this show includingh youtube facebook tumblr probably not tumblr though.* So he goes onto Facebook, but someone sent him a picture of Mark Dice with a gun, so he goes back to Twitter.

A student named Redo asks for his autograph, so he agrees:

Then he answers a few more tweets. One student claims to be the reason Erik's wife left him, but obviously that student is not a shovel. Another one of his students tells on r/BeatingWomen2 for banning them, so Erik uploads a picture of a diseased penis to the subreddit. Then he gets a tweet asking to marry him, but the account is followed by a racist account, so Erik cleverly deduces it's actually Mark Dice! Then Erik tries to help someone advertise Internet Comment Etiquette on their radio show.

Another student asks Erik to play their Android game, but the account seems suspicious, so Erik realizes that it's Mark Dice. Then Erik answers a question about YouTube subscribers and has a student show him something freaky. Then ends the Twitter Class Thursdays lesson.

Erik decies to give the Android game another chance, but it's just a picture of Mark Dice.

Open Beta Day 2: Just Fartin' Around

## Just Fartin' Around

"*As the name implies, this is a little segment to help me connect with my students, try out some fun new stuff, see what works, and see what doesn't work.*"
―Erik
Just Fartin' Around is the second and final part of the second Open Beta. It was released on February 5, 2021.

## Summary

Erik looks at some new intro songs from his students to replace the Rough Draft Intro Song. He finds a fart video song, a man grunting while playing guitar, and a burp compilation. One of his students thinks they're supposed to get paid for this, so Erik decides to just pick a song at random. He picks one about how fat, unfunny, and sweaty he is, so he decides to just start over and let people submit more songs.

He goes to twitter to ask his students how they're doing, but he accidentally posts it on a Telegram channel for flat earthers. Then Erik realizes that you can send voice memos on Telegram so he records his own farts. Then he sees that Telegram has QAnon channels, so he sends one a fart and then makes a Qanon channel of his own called Gassed Up for Qanon. He puts a link to it in the description below the Logan Paul stuff he put there.

Erik can't find inspiration, so one of his students suggests teamkilling. He gets upset because he wants to, but he can't because they'll just kick him from the game. Then he comes to a great realization: no one can stop him if he owns the server. Erik buys his own Battlefield server and goes on a Battlefield teamkilling rampage.

Erik goes back to look at the previous open beta video to see what its comments look like. He finds a gross comment about hemorrhoids, but it gives him a great idea and he ends the video so he can get to work. He ends the video with BIG MONEY by Dylan Sherry.

## Comments

*Hey guys just checking on to see how everyone is doing! Best, E*

Janet

Janet was Erik's wife before Internet Comment Etiquette with Erik. He divorced her, and she was never heard from following a meeting with Erik's divorce attorney.

## Biography

Erik and Janet married each other some time before August 2012. They took a vacation to New York where Janet was stabbed by a police officer for trying to buy a large soda. After they returned from their vacation, Erik asked for a divorce because she was cheating on him.[src] Erik later mentioned that he also left his wife because he was blackmailed by his secretary after she watched a YouTube video teaching her how.[src]

After the divorce, Janet and her attorney took everything Erik had,[src][src] but Erik took advantage of the prenup and Florida's lax regulations to sell her to Disney World, where they edited her genome to make her look like Donald Duck.[src] He also deep faked her face into a porno so he would get custody of the kid.[src]

Erik has never confessed to Janet's murder, but she has not been heard from since he spoke to her using a shovel, and he has implied that she's buried under a gazebo out in the woods.[src][src][src]
