5 Dumb Things You Can Do With Discord Bots

Because being productive is overrated

Discord Bots are a great way to maximize productivity on one’s server; fetching important data, delivering notifications, scheduling events, moderating conversations, and more. Other times, they’re not.

Here’s 5 dumb things you can do with discord bots.

The Chatbot Conference

Dank Memer

dolan, no

With its bot listing riddled with floating Pepe faces, there should be no misconceptions as to what you’re getting into with Dank Memer. The commands (which use the prefix ‘pls’ because of course they do) range from image manipulation, to silly sound gags, to outright memery. The memes, this bot assures us, are the dankest.

Each one of this bot’s commands is equal parts annoying and amusing. It’s the perfect bot for the misanthrope in all of us. But rest assured, some of the entertainment Dank Memer has to offer is merely groan-worthy:

My dad must be a contributor to this meme’s pun catalog.

Some of Dank Memer’s best commands are reserved for Patreon supporters. You can check out their page here.

MatBot

Unlike Dank Memer, MatBot is a mix of useful commands and irreverent ones, and everything in between. With a suite of moderation and server management features, player stat fetching for games like Overwatch and Hearthstone, Twitch status updates, and more, this is a bot a lot of servers can put to good use. It also does this:

Close enough, MatBot. Close enough.

And this:

MatBot is loaded with trivia and games too, which will invariably absorb way too much of your server’s time. There’s over 90 commands for this bot, and half of them are dumb. That’s a good thing.

Gnar

The League of Legends-themed chatbot Gnar might be somewhat of a misnomer. While it does feature a couple LoL-specific commands, it gets the most use on Discord servers as a pretty well-featured music bot. But there’s one dumb command that means more to me than any of that:

Because why wouldn’t we need “pooping memes” in this world.

Gnar’s also got a number of comics, toys, and fun distractions built in to keep your server entertained, but for me, this one really takes the, uh, cake.

Bonfire

Bonfire is are and away the most comprehensive Discord bot I’ve ever seen. Its help menu features 21 pages of commands (cleverly sorted in the chat window), with sections that cover anything from moderation and music playback, to memes and games. There’s even a Roulette game, where losers are systematically kicked from the server.

For all those Deer Hunter watching parties.

A number of bots feature games, and hangman is often among them. But Bonfire goes the extra mile, drawing ASCII gallows and everything.

Bonfire’s seemingly endless list of commands can be a little daunting at first, but it provides a ton of great content without the need for a ton of bots in your server. I highly recommend it, and not just for the dumb stuff.

Guilded Bot

Guilded Bot is a great addition to gaming servers, keeping players in touch and on-schedule. Its command list isn’t extensive like some others on this list, with only five simple commands. But one of these in particular stands out, begging to be tried:

I don’t know what I expected. As with all dumb things, the server might want to abuse this command, spamming it at the drop of a hat. Which is what I did. That’s when it gets interesting.

Too many calls in a row produces this fierce little guy. That’s when you realize there’s more to this simple doge than meets the eye. Hidden within Guilded Bot is a crappy collectible doge mini-game. Nobody seems to know how many there are, or what it takes to unlock most of them, but it doesn’t stop people from trying all sorts of dumb stuff to complete their collection. It’s like crummy Pokemon.

Oh…
