Finally, he also makes videos about American pop culture and social issues, all humorously presented. Some of his content has become so popular that it has become a series. They are:
The African American Avengers
The African American Avengers is a parody series RDCworld1 created in 2015.
The parody series is based on the MCU Avengers franchise. It follows the African American version of the members of the Avengers getting into conflicts with multiple villains and with themselves.
The third episode of the series, Infinity War, parodies the third Avengers movie of the same name. The video was a huge success and a large endeavor as it involved multiple characters and a grand over-arching theme where an African American version of Thanos invades Earth.
The third episode was the last of the series.
Video Game House
The comedy series, Video Game House, was created in 2016.
The series is a TV reality show where popular video game characters such as Mario, Master Chief, Sonic, and others live together in a house. The series mainly involves multiple jokes about the characters’ quirks, game mechanics, and how it translates into daily life.
The series is currently ongoing, with five episodes released so far.
Hood Avatar
Hood Avatar is an action series that RDCworld1 created in 2016. The series follows Mark as the Hood Avatar, a person destined to use the abilities of the hood.

The series is also ongoing, with three episodes and an additional part.
Anime House
Anime House is a spin-off of the Video Game House series.
The difference is that instead of housing video game characters, the house houses popular Shounen anime characters who hate living with each other in real life. The popular characters are Goku, Light, Naruto, etc.
