The Dark Planet

The Dark Planet is an alternate version of Earth that appears in Episode 368.

The sun only shines once every century (or maybe 50 years, both were said) on The Dark Planet, and for unknown reason this caused that planet’s version of My Brother, My Brother and Me to be dropped in our Earth’s podcast feed, and for some podcasts from our Earth to be sent over there. The Dark Planet refers to them as “Data Orbs” instead of podcasts.

On The Dark Planet, MBMBaM is hosted by Justin, Travis, and their Uncle Dane, all of whom are Slumans.

Dark!MBMBAM is hosted on Minimum Fun, a network that only has bad shows.

Notably, Dark!Justin has created a fictional world that seems to be nearly identical to ours.

Slumans
Slumans are the dominant species on the Dark Planet, and seem to be wildly different from humans. They are describes as having translucent skin, scaley tentacles, and 18in diameter eyes. These traits allow them to examine their own organs to see if they remain healthy.

Their diet consists mainly of rocks, but they can eat the one bean that grows every hundred years. The sun is lethal to them if they are exposed to it for too long, although that is a non-issue on The Dark Planet.

Uncle Dane
Uncle Dane is a teacher at Bradbury High School, and was locked in a closet by some bully children during the sun time. Dane is a Sluman, like everyone else on The Dark Planet. He is the paternal uncle of Justin and Travis, who are presumably still the sons of Clint McElroy. He carried a messenger bag in high school, and had a lot of friends.

Known Differences
