Someone with this much sense would never make it as a super-villain...

God help us all... this silly goose has planned everything down to the finest minutia

.....the wires on mmy bombs will be all red.
SlyMrFox
As much as I like this list, a movie or comic would probably be boring if it implemented all of them.
beardedbeerdeer
This was amusing the first 10000000000000000000 times it was reposted.
FiftyShadesOfCauliflower
And only up to the 3rd variation of "I will not gloat over / hold monologues in front of my captured nemeses".

#31 is truly evil
epoke
With all this good planning, you seem less and "evil overlord" and more a selfish, yet fair, bureaucratic administrator. That's not bad.
thatguybutonline
evil overlord rules #101. I will not openly publish these rules on the Internet for anyone to see and anticipate me or find weaknesses

The Evil Overlord Rules date back to the days 4chan actually had CP on the first page 120/100 times
Robotguy4
Good luck with #50.
BYERE
http://www.eviloverlord.com/lists/overlord.html - complete list (also has links to additional rules in the Cellblocks under the list)

#21 A talented fashion designer like Hugo Boss? Wait...

#21 Fuck that. Go for body armor and active camouflage, if available.

TheGreatAtomsk
when those rules were written, the average user on here wasn't even born.
tachikaze316
The list showed up in 1994 and was based on an SNL skit from 1988. I knew it's been around for a while, but I'm a bit surprised by how long.
railgap
I know the gal who posted most of these to Usenet about a hundred years ago.

#99 Eh, practically impossible these days. Especially if it's possible to find where the padding is. Encryption is far better.
KoRplussomeletters
Padding to 4.01GB would at least defeat FAT32 storage unless they carry a copy of 7-zip or similar with them. (You don't?)
Hetuni
Just download winrar really quick and you're set.
DoofusMcGillicuttyEsq
Being an evil overlord is hard these days. It's all about people skills.
JHawke
Now now Harry, don't get sentimental.
Hangman11
i heard fascism gets really popular again
TonawandaBlue
And some surprisingly progressive social policies.
Commandershepard13
To be completely honest a lot of these seem like they could provide some significant problems on their own.
SaltheartFoamfollower
#64 Wouldn't they try to treat your antisocial megalomania? Which would kinda take the fun out of being an evil overlord...
JokerVonDoloh
Only if you would agree to it. Informed consent, and most psychiatrists and psychologists believe that forced treatments are never okay.
JHawke
Can you even be cured of most bad habits movie bad guys have? Are they not the sort that gets locked away.
PastaPriest
The key is to get an evil psychiatrist.
AsAHistorian
As it is for so many of life's problems.
BatmanRidingANarwhal
These are all great. But in the moment I bet you break quite a few of these rules.
ashmenon
I most definitely WILL take the time to psychologically torture my captives. What's the point if you don't get to see them break inside?
SonOfTheShire
#77 "If I have a fit of temporary insanity, I will retain enough sanity to..." Is that really a choice?
BatmanRidingANarwhal
Exactly
Txtcat
You see, I think it's just a good recommendation. What makes you think that the head honcho wont work as hard and efficient as their grunts?
DoctorSnakebeast
I feel like there's a movie in these somewhere.
nlaw1013
Maybe one where the bad guy wins(and completely dominates)? I'd be down for that.
pyrrhlis
I'd love to see Tarantino's Dungeon Master.
tachikaze316
I feel like these would sap most of the fun out of an evil overlord story.
Critterpig
The interview.

did you know that dogs only have sweat glands in their paws?

Your mom only has sweat glands in her paws.

Definitely, they always get caught in crap.

The addendum is that if you must where a cape make it a clip on
ClothoBuer
Some of these are good, but at least half of them would be broken within a few days. You can't account for the human condition.
nerdyvet
or like...the ability to maintain a structure. "Make All the maps inaccurate!!" You really think you could staff a Death Star with only--
nerdyvet
staff capable of remembering this, AND every other nonsensical deviation from logic meant to foil a "Hero"?? It's completely ridiculous!--
nerdyvet
Not to mention that many of the other rules quietly ignore logical arguments. Stormtroopers are not individually identifiable for a reason--
nerdyvet
Exhaust ports generally have structural purposes that are necessary; you can't let your Evil Fortress combust or asphyixate the staff--
nerdyvet
and and and point being that I have a hard time being fun at parties...
Hetuni
Just have small exhaust ports that run throughout the structure so nothing big can go through, plus, free heating!

Helmets covering faces is useful in the sense that anonymity makes people much more willing to do awful things.

You still have to solve the security issue. I'd just use 'em in very specific circumstances. Like an executioner. Sheriff knows the guy 1+
ArdentSlacker
2+ and watches him put on the hood, escorts to the job. Escorts from the job. Anonymity kept, but personal ID still relevant. Guards do NOT
ArdentSlacker
3/3 need to be anonymous. They're to protect your shit. You want 'em to be heroic on your behalf.
AmazinglyCoolNameHere
Most commanders wouldn't be able to recognize every single face anyway
ArdentSlacker
Why would the commander be involved in detecting problems? They do resolution. You just need to know your squad and visitors. Personally? 1+
ArdentSlacker
2+ for that inevitable "Change of plans" bluff, the warning it's bullshit when checking in should be "No, I have the orders here. 100%
ArdentSlacker
3/3 verified. Let them through. You coming to the BBQ tomorrow?" to say "It's bullshit, lead 'em to a trap, response is coming in hot."
