I was thinking at work the other day and came up with a question that I couldn't exactly figure out the answer to.

Who is in charge, Dethklok or Charles?

The Klokateers swear their loyalty to Dethklok but it is Charles who issues most of the important orders.  If the boys ordered the Klokateers to do something that is the opposite of what Charles ordered them to do, whose orders would the Klokateers follow?

I think Charles is in charge for most things.  The Klokateers would follow Dethklok in most things, but if it's something that would harm them, the Klokateers would defer to Charles' orders.

Okay here's a for instance.

Dethklok wants to force Charles to paint himself blue and dress up like smurfette.  Charles does not wish to become smurfette.  Both Charles and Dethklok enlist the help of the klokateers to achieve their respective ends.  Would the klokateers take Dethklok's side or Charles'?  Or would there be a rift in the klokateers, the creation of a civil war as it were?

I know that Charles is in charge when it comes to the good of the band and the corporation.  We've seen that on the show.  What if it is a less important issue?

[klokateer513]

Murderface, dressed up as Smurfette, stomps on the grounds of Mordhaus and is cussin' 'n cursing more than the proverbial sailor on shore leave.

NATHAN: (Roars) SHAKE YOUR B U T T!

PICKLES: Dood...yew gotta STRUT!

TOKI: I's stills ams says SKWISGAAR shoulds ams be Smurfette: Smurfette's BLOND...Skwisgaar's BLOND!

NATHAN: (Whispers to Pickles) Not unless the CARPET doesn't match the DRAPES!

SKWISGAAR: (Agry; yells at Toki) I ams NOTS gonnas wears DRESS ams HIGHS HEELS!

PICKLES: (Whispers to Nathan) PUBLICLY!

CFO...the man who put in man in the word 'man', arrives....sees Murderface dressed up as Smurfette...and sloooooowly backs away.

CFO: Be silent...walk away...and NO ONE will notice you....

NATHAN: (Sees CFO...and, of course, ROARS) YOU! COME BACK HERE!

CFO: (Mutters to himself) Oh....(Expletive censored by guitar riff)

NATHAN: (To CFO) Murderface S U C K S as Smurfette...We want YOU to be SMURFETTE!

CFO: And why would I want to be Smurfette....(To himself)...I'm afraid to ASK.

PICKLES: Dood...you dress like Smurfette...we catch 'Lucky' the leprechaun...and he gives us 3 WISHES!

TOKI: (Excited) Ams 'Lucky Charms' cereal!

PICKLES: (To CFO) Don't worry...YOU'LL gityer 3 wishes, too...it's only fair.

CFO: But what if I DON'T want to...dress up...as Smurfette?

[klokateer513]

Later...much, much later:

CFO, the bread 'n butter' of Dethklok, the Klokateers and ESPECIALLY the 'Red Tie Coven', skips and sings the theme to the 'Smurfs' TV show....wearing NOT a white dress, but a VERY SKIMPY  white string bikini top and a white THONG bikini bottom.

The manager/CFO/attorney/love muffin/subject of lust and all things illicit also has on white patent-leather stiletto-heeled shoes...kind of makes skipping merrily rather cumbersome, but, hey....he's CFO!!! He can do ANYTHING!!!)

CFO: (absolutely embarrased...under all the blue paint that covers up his manly-man skin....he talks like Smurfette by using a high-pitched, girlish voice) YOO-HOO! LUCKY!  (Shakes his 'money-maker') Do you LIKE what you SEE?!!! (Actus flirtatious; winks) You WILL!!!

DK: (LOLing...Nathan is seen video taping his fearless leader with a hand-held camera...Toki, being thoughtful, snaps a photo and sends it to....HOLKIE, OF COURSE!!!)

FINI...FOR NOW!!!!

[JMAA]

Charles, as I might guess, is the guy who just assists Dethklok most of the time in their troubles, as of "assistance". I don't know about music bussiness but a manager normally directs the band in economical and business terms. The band is whoever talks here most of the cases here in this case.

That, IMHO.

[FinShaggy]

Charles is in charge.

Dethklock would NEVER order them over Charles.

That's like your kid telling YOU to go to bed.
That just isn't going to happen.

[klokateer513]

PICKLES: 'Cha-L's Inn Charrge?' Dat (Expletive censored by guitar iff) CHACHI dood?

MURDERFACE: Scott (Another expletive censored by the proverbial guitar riff) Baio?

SKWISGAAR: Mrs. C...(Lustful)...I's do's her!

NATHAN: What happened to Joanie? She's like this cute kid, but then she grew up and....EWW (Shudders)!

MURDERFACE: TV kids grow up lookin' like (Yet another expletive censored by you-know-what)!!! That's why they ALWAYS rob banks and take drugs!

TOKI: Pebbles ams Bamm-Bamm are stills cutes kids!

MURDERFACE: That's because Wilma and Betty feed them VITAMINS! Vitamins stunt Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm's growth

and that's why they're still KIDS!

NATHAN: They WHY don't Fred and Barney (Roars) AGE!

MURDERFACE: (Acts like a smug 'know-it-all') CEREAL!

DK looks at Murderface...and gasps.

Later...much, much later:

DK is shown at the dinner table fighting over...'Flintstones Vitamins.'

NATHAN: (Angrily roars at Murderface) I WANT FRED!

MURDERFACE: You had (Expletive censored...blah-blah) Fred YESTERDAY...it's MY turn to have Fred!

PICKLES: Doods...Co-Co Pebbles...orr Frooty Pebbles?

TOKI: (Excited) I ams wants Pebbles withs MARSH-MELLOWS!

FINIS...YABBA DABBA DOO!

[Afrokuma]

I would have to say Charles, there's been a lot of points in the show that they show he has the real power. The Gears license to both of them but since Charles has a lot more vision and direction for them all they end up working directly under him. Then there's when dethklok double books this show that they never make the dictions on where to tour, they tried to and ended up messing up everything and only Charles could help. He also seems to have a weird sense of what needs to be done all the time like the death cones that saved the middle east lol.

Over all I would say the band has the vision and Charles has the coordination, and power to help them make it happen. (Also to explain what's smart and stupid financial.)

MURDERFACE: No offense, but (Boasts; acts like a braggart) EVERYONE knows I am the one who's really in charge here...WHO was the one who was in charge of doing the safety drills...and got EVERYBODY out when Mordhaus was on fire...ME!!!! ME!!! William (Expletive censored by guitar riff) Murderface, that's who!

NATHAN: (Whispers to Pickles) But...what has Murderface done LATELY?

PICKLES: Tayke a BAFF?

SKWISGAAR: Washed his SHORTS?
