Brennan Lee Mulligan exits Dropout to pursue doll shoe craft: “I’m better at making shoes than you are at anything.”

Brennan Lee Mulligan has announced his “exit” from Dropout, stating he will dedicate himself to making custom shoes for American Girl dolls, in what appears to be a comedic sketch shared on Game Changer Shorts.

The long-time Dimension 20 gamemaster and Dropout creator said in the video, “Effective immediately, I will no longer be with Dropout.tv,” adding, “There is no bad blood between us. There’s no drama.”

Mulligan explained his decision, saying he wanted to focus on the “craft and profession of making custom shoes for American Girl dolls,” referencing characters like Kit and Melody while criticising the dolls’ current footwear for historical inaccuracy.

In the announcement, Mulligan joked about following Daniel Day-Lewis’s path, saying, “Daniel D. Lewis left Hollywood to make shoes… I’m going to make smaller shoes and I’m better than him.”

The video prompted Dropout to launch a website, brennansamericangirldollshoes.com, using the tagline: “I’m better at making shoes than you are at anything.”

The sketch led to questions among fans about whether Mulligan’s departure was genuine, but the comedic tone was consistent with Dropout’s style.

Mulligan has been a leading figure on Dropout since 2018, serving as executive producer and gamemaster for Dimension 20 and appearing on Game Changer and Make Some Noise.
