'''Channel DDD''' was another unsuccessful scheme thought up by [[King Dedede]]. Although it at first seemed to be just like normal television channel, it soon became clear what its real purpose was. Dedede and [[Escargoon]] presented an elaborate ruse that made everybody in [[Cappy Town]] believe that a [[monster]] was attacking [[Dream Land]], when it was really just [[Umiushii|Escargoon in a costume]]. The citizens of Cappy Town were literally hypnotized, and caused all of the residents to attack Kirby, constantly uttering the phrase "Kirby must go away!". Even [[Kirby]] was hypnotized for a few moments.

In many more episodes after its debut, Channel DDD was used for some other purposes, such as news articles. However, these always seem to make Dedede look like a great guy or making Kirby and/or Escargoon look bad except in one episode where [[A Half-Baked Battle|Dedede was hit by a pie]], which made him look funny. Some shows Dedede makes are quite important to the episode.

Channel DDD (Japanese: チャンネルDDD/Channel DDD) is a TV channel run by King Dedede in multiple episodes of Kirby: Right Back at Ya!, primarily used in various smear campaigns and ploys against Kirby. It first appears in Un-Reality TV.

Initially, King Dedede and Escargoon used it as an elaborate ruse to make the citizens of Cappy Town believe that a monster was attacking Dream Land, when in reality it was just Escargoon in a costume. The citizens of Cappy Town were literally hypnotized; attacking Kirby while constantly uttering the phrase "Kirby must go away!" all under the impression that Kirby was the cause of the constant attacks by monsters since the beginning of the show. This plan is eventually foiled by Kirby, but the channel continued to run long after the incident.

The channel is a satirical take on real-life TV Channels, with incredible amounts of advertisements and many Dedede-centric parodies of real TV shows and movies. The shows airing on Channel DDD are sometimes integral to the plot of episodes, and frequently teach the dangers of false information spread through politically motivated news networks and perpetuated through the tactical censorship of political enemies; usually Tiff - who is often the voice of reason in such situations because of her belief that TV is "stupid" and her skepticism of it.
