About

Take About 5 Dozen is a memorable quote from the Egoraptor web series "Awesome Series". The scene is a non-sequitur joke in which the character Awesome Man foils his villain's plan, when a chef appears in the background and says, "Take about five dozen eggs, start puttin' 'em in a bowl, mix the f*ck out of 'em. And whattya get? PENIS!!!!" The character uses the penis to destroy the villain. The character moment inspired a series of remix videos in the late 2000s.
