"Street Rants" features short clips of Doug performing outdoors with "Banjo Randy" McCleary providing a musical accompaniment.

The clips are separated by the type of mullet he had at the time, each of which are given nicknames, including: "Beaver Paddle", "Mudflap", "Camaro Cut", and "Ape Drape".

Though the viewer may choose between viewing the clip in widescreen and fullscreen, the image is relatively static making the term "screen saver" highly inaccurate.

Deadbeat Hero has been released in three different packaging styles: in a DVD case (with the CD version included as a "bonus audio disk"), in a jewel case as an "enhanced CD" (DVD included as a bonus) under the Ad Lib Breakout Comedy Series label, and again by Stand Up!

Records in 2007 (also with bonus DVD included) with the Ad Lib Breakout Comedy Series branding removed.
