What a funny song. I think they're proving a point they've proven many a time, just because you're a dork doesn't mean your a good person. The song is sung in a sarcastic way like he's the king of dorks. It's like handbook for the sellout.

I don't think that's the message at all. I think Reese and the gang are just poking fun at themselves, which is a common theme throughout their songs. While doing so, they are bringing attention and increasing acceptance of a lifestyle that has long been considered antisocial and "weird." Lots of us grew up playing video games and reading comics, and only now is it really starting to become widely socially acceptable.
