Reaguurders
The users of Dumpert are called "reaguurders". Reaguurders make fun of themselves by saying they are pathetic, lonely, and still living with their parents. They also often mention they are still virgins. Nobody really knows where this self-mockery has its origins, but it probably has something to do with the fact that reaguurders spend their time commenting on silly videos. Most people consider this is as a waste of time. The comments posted by reaguurders are called "reaguursels".
Dumpertreeten
Dumpertreeten is a weekly show by Dumpert. Every Wednesday, a new episode is uploaded to the website of Dumpert and its YouTube channel. The show consists of two main parts. In the first part, the hosts of the show (René van Leeuwen and Johnny Quid) watch about ten videos that are popular at Dumpert's website during the week beforehand, and rate them using their own rating system, called "reeten". The word reeten is a parody on the English verb 'to rate' which is pronounced roughly the same as 'reeten'. Reeten (Rating) can differ from one to five reeten and can be a positive or negative "reet" (rate). Sometimes René and Johnny are joined by Marleen or Gwen as guest speakers/hosts, the reaguurders really like Marleen and Gwen. Halfway through the show there is a special round, this is called the 'reaguurders ronde', this part of the video starts with a short video of a screaming goat, the hosts read the 'reaguursels' that have been commented on the last video of 'Dumpertreeten'.
