Where did this sentiment come from?

literally

Sure, zoomer.

What could they possibly have found "horrible" about Doug?

Do you even remember any episodes of Doug? Any key plotlines or stories that you can recall off by heart without googling?
Do you know anything about how the central theme of the show is about a guy pining over a girl and that its actually based off the creator of the show that pined over a girl that he based Patti off of for years and he eventually met her long after the show was a hit and her husband?
Do your remember the superhero Doug created about a version of him with his underwear outside of his pants?
Do you remember how annoying that fucking themesong of his was and how you would switch channels or go do something else until something kick ass like 'Recess' or 'Power Rangers' came on?
There are reboots going around like you wouldn't believe; do you think anyone is going to ask, let alone desire to see, a reboot of any kind of Doug show? Or Doug anything? Have you ever met someone get nostalgiac over Doug or do they struggle to even remember it even being on or watching it?

Of course you don't because Doug is a faggot.

I legit do remember the plots of some episodes. What now?

Well, name them.

That was me. Fuck Conan O'Brien. "It was his turn," eat a bullet, fag. Jaycels stay winning.

The one where doug gets blackmailed by his sister. The one with dougs dog falling in love with a female dog. The one with doug getting falsly accused of stealing a trophy etc.

I used to watch it when it was on Nickelodeon. I think the only reason there’s any negativity around the show is because it was one of the original Nicktoons but it’s by far the least important, popular, or memorable. So there’s a whole lot of people who remember it but don’t necessarily have anything good to say about it. So instead of being over-loved due to nostalgia or judged fairly it ends up being hated just for people to have an opinion

The fact that the show's creator got cucked by the real Patty IRL is only one tenth of the pain he has caused me.

He didn't get chucked. He was too much of a faggot to ever make a move. His party did nothing wrong

It was just a mid cartoon desu

Personally I am more of a Skeeter enjoyer
I don't remember any plot points of that show but reading this thread I guess Doug was a wimp and I get kinda angry to think this might had influenced me to be a shy faggot too

They were really into The Beets. But what was the other band? Something about filth or sludge? Or am I conflating with another old cartoon?

Didn't you people have dads? Who the fuck is "influenced" behaviorally by afternoon cartoons? Wouldn't your faggotry be offset by the Ninja Turtles or the X-Men?

Unironically because becoming a ninja or an x-man isn't a real job position. Being a betabucks deluxe is a real thing you can become.

Doug doesn't get Patty in the end, even though he's meant to be the protagonist he's actually a warning

what are you talking about? He goes to prom and dances with her in the movie which ends the show, so I would say it counts as getting her.

My parents neglected me and parked me in front of the TV all my childhood so they could work and party. Nobody ever gave a shit about me and I was watching everything on TV as long as it was animated. I guess that's the fate of many late millenials and zoomers.
Being europoor I didn't have all the cool US shit. But we had fucking Dough wtf?!

Great. Now compare all those to other cartoons at the time during the same slot:

101 Dalmatians

Recess

Jungle Cubs

Pepper Ann

Filmore

Weekenders

The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh

Hercules: The Animated Series

Alladdin

Goof Troop

Mickey Mouse Works

Sabrina: The Animated Series

Teachers Pet

Buzz Lightyear of Star Command

Lizzie McGuire

Even Stevens

I guarantee there are better episodes and memories of any of those shows from the peak of Doug's run people look back on fondly and Doug is an afterthought.
When the villain and even the dog of your series is a better character than the main one and the last name of the love interest is Mayonaise, you know your cartoon is the lowest denominator. Despite having the last name 'Funnie', there was fuck all for any semblance of memorable humor or gags to be found everywhere.
Doug is a Virginian virgins autistic 12 year old power fantasy centered around his oneitis.

My parents neglected me and parked me in front of the TV all my childhood so they could work and party. Nobody ever gave a shit about me and I was watching everything on TV as long as it was animated. I guess that's the fate of many late millenials and zoomers.

Being a latchkey with a single mom was literally the worst thing that ever happened to me.

because it was peaceful. I mean they had to rename Ninja turtles to hero turtles because "ninja" is to violent.

My dad built us wooden swords and cool fake guns and stuff in his woodshop. We had a treehouse and built the doghouse and went on camping trips and rode bikes on vacation in coastal resort towns.

Watching TV all day seemed like it would be awesome but our mom and dad would limit us to a couple hours a day before bed and after homework.

Bacon and eggs or pancakes every morning.
I thought everyone lived like this.

I think the problem is Doug taught millennials that it's okay to be beta. Doug is a horrible role model.

101 Dalmatians

Sucks

Recess

I give you that

Jungle Cubs

no clue what that is

Pepper Ann

never watched it but isn't that like late 80's?

Filmore

I give you that

Weekenders

I liked it but it's worse than Doug

The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh

no

Hercules: The Animated Series

don't know, do not remember a single thing

Alladdin

yes great show

Goof Troop

yes

Mickey Mouse Works

no not even close

Sabrina: The Animated Series

I liked it but one might argue GAY

Teachers Pet

never heard of that

Buzz Lightyear of Star Command

never heard of that

Lizzie McGuire

I remember I liked it but I do not remember a single thing

Even Stevens

never heard of it

This is the saddest thing I've read in a while and I realize it's probably true. The internet and social media have really brought out the worst in people. And I'm posting that thought here on Anon Babble.

There are as many positive answers in your response than negative.

Doug's a squeaker fart in church. No one would admit to even liking him.

You're a retard. Would you advocate for a cartoon that teaches kids your bullshit PUA designations of 'alpha', 'beta', etc?
Teach them that beating up on weaklings is the advantageous path?
I'm sorry you feel that you lack some sort of masculinity (incel energy off of you), but that doesn't mean that Doug Funny being an asshole would have made you any more popular with women or successful socially.

You conspiratard schizos will dream up all sorts of fantastical shit to justify your failure to fuck or have friends.

Do doo doo do do do do do do doo doo

Do doo doo do do do do do do doo doo

Those are the lyrics to the theme song.

I just didn’t really like it so I changed the channel when it was on.

Pepper Ann

Lmao, we had this too, I remember it as boring though
I can imagine, my dad worked two jobs and my mom only one. Spending too much time with your mom as a young boy is shit. I love my mom but she was a crazy and abusive bitch.
God damnit! Now it all makes sense...
I don't remember many shows but from what I remember we also had a show called "Typical fir Andy"(??) With a prankster guy in a canadian town. It was also very very mild.
You've got really lucky, man. You should thank your parents for that some day!
My happiest memories are the four times my dad played some PS1 with me. Everything else is just him being not at home or dissappointed in me because he thought of me as not a real man. He told me so when I was 16.

A whole blog?! No way!!!

Unironically the nostalgia critic:
youtube.com/watch?v=NeBqSEQmsgs

It’s my ten-year reunion, and I didn’t go. I was in New York working like crazy as a freelancer and just trying to make it there. And I got a phone call in New York and it’s Patti. The real Patti. And my heart’s beating fast. She’s like, ‘I was at the reunion! You weren’t!’ and I was like, ‘Yeah…sorry…I had to work.’ And she goes, ‘I found out you live in New York. Guess what—I do, too!’ And she told me where she lives. We lived across Central Park from each other. And she says, ‘Why don’t you come over for dinner?’

So now we’re in a Doug show. I’m like, what do I wear? What will she look like!? All that’s happening as I’m walking across Central Park to her apartment, just wondering and just hoping, all those things. I was, at the time, very available.

I get to the door, and you get buzzed up in New York, and so I walk up to the apartment and I hear the lock turn—it’s getting ready to happen—and she opens the door, and she’s perfect. Just perfect. She just looks spectacular and she’s so happy, and her arms fly up and we hug, and I’m just like [frightened guttural gasping noises]. She backs up and she goes ‘Look, Jimmy! Boobs! I got my boobs!' It sounds like I’m making this up, right? And I’m like, ‘Yeah… yeah, uh huh!’ ‘Yeah, they always used to call me Flatty Patti, but look!’ And she was just funny and fun and innocent, but it’s like Doug and Patti together again, ten years later, right?

So this is all wonderful, right? And then she wheels and goes, ‘Oh, Jimmy, I want you to meet my husband.’

And I don’t even remember the rest of the evening.

You are not allowed on the computer until I say so

Watching zogovision? Sure!

Parents were weird.

Fer fuck sakes....

There was a kid like that in my neighborhood and now he’s a tranny. The retard waited until he was ~30 and married to transition so she left him and he just kind of slums around by himself now.

rugrats

honestly to have to watch that as a teen might be torture.

Fuck you I’m a ninja.

Wow, I triggered the shit out of you.

Being a beta doesn't make you a good person, and not being a beta doesn't make you an asshole. You can be assertive, you can talk to girls who are pretty without being a bully. Doug is a fucking simp. Doug is pathetic.

And by the way, pick up artists, who haven't been relevant in like twenty years, don't have a patent on the words beta and alpha.

I always hated doug, fucking limp wristed faggot

Brutal.

NTA but its also the insincerity of the show; the premise according to the creator is a show where everyone took honesty seriously without the ambiguity or half-truths about the adult world; the problem with that is that the creator of the series wasn't honest with himself about the reality of him still crushing on some bitch he met when he was 12 well into middle age and after achieving a level of success of having a decent hit of a show that ended up on two of the biggest childrens network.

Doug is literally that little whiney faggot Cailou grown up. Both characters desperately in need of a beating.

youtube.com/watch?v=-o6Ivoe-J5k

and you're even worse, somehow. some guy who's supposedly far more succesful at life's games and yet...here you are. Isn't that sadder? you can be better but you just can't help but slam it with the pigs.

I watched Doug growing up and I can't imagine being such a pathetic little brainlet that you think that a fucking cartoon for 5 year olds about being nice, good, sensitive and creative are why you're a loser at 40 fucking years old. I think you should legitimately kill yourself, it's over.

Who the fuck is "influenced" behaviorally by afternoon cartoons?

Most kids are, and then they grow an actual personality as they interact with others during puberty. Every 5 year old wants to be Sonic, that's totally fine, they grow out of it. The Chris-chans of the world are the people that for some reason or another never grow out of it and refuse to engage with the real world in any way.

here you are. Isn't that sadder

No, you can be a nerd if your life is otherwise in order and not be a loser. If you're a nerd and a loser, that's two strikes, if you're a nerd and a loser and old, well you know what that means.

The creators' personal lives are of no consequence when looking at art. Just another reason you're a bunch of gossipy bitches who don't really care about anything but unrelated drama.

This cartoon made me a James Bond fan. I mean… This and Backyadigans.

The internet has made a lot out of those extremely rare cases. I refuse to believe a measurable portion of society behaves in that fashion.

This.

Doing Sean Connery Bond parodies

Cringe ngl. Granted he would've more than likely seen them because they do play old movies on TV, but it's very not contemporary.

Dude?
The cartoon sucked ass.
The creator was a cuck and an effeminate bitch.
The fucking main character day dreams about being something called "Quailman."
Detweiller, Spinelli, Griswald and the rest of the gang at the 3rd Street School would have beat the fucking shit out of Doug and they were all younger than him. Lloyd in Space would have beat the shit out of Doug.

The creators' personal lives are of no consequence when looking at art.

People can separate the art from the artist. Gary Glitter is a convicted pedophile, but that hasn't stopped Rock and Roll Part 2 from being played at and sung along with at sports games. Doug's creator is Doug in the flesh: a pussy who clung to the fantasies about a girl he crushed on at Doug's age. Its a biography of a manchild that stunk of mediocrity and everyone knew it.

Seriously. Fuck Doug.

Bond is timeless. They were still trying (and failing) to emulate Connery up to five years ago.

The internet has made a lot out of those extremely rare cases

They are. I have an actually retarded cousin in his 40s who has a job, drives a car and even has a house. He can't drive on the highway, it's too stressful for him, but he can lead a perfectly normal life. His colleagues love him, he's super nice and always wants to help people. He struggles with women, and I genuinely do feel bad for him, I wish he could find a woman on his level that he could get married and live the rest of his life with, he deserves it, man.
I wouldn't wish Chris-chan on any woman, and he's on a mental level way above my cousin.

The fucking main character day dreams about being something called "Quailman."

Quailman is even more hilarious in contrast to Silver Skeet, because Skeeter didn't care about the consistency of his original character and just made him the average over powered superhero, but Doug wants Quailman to be nerfed and solve his problems through non-violence and intellectualism.

The difference between mentally disabled people that grew up with proper support, and Chris-chan, is incredible. I really wonder what Barb and Bob did to him.

solve his problems through non-violence and intellectualism.

*8 year old flips channel to a better and cooler show*

*8 year old flips channel to a better and cooler show*

This was the early 90's. There was fuck all else on for 8 year olds, Zoomer.

Doug had a second run in the late 90s too, retard.

Clearly it was popular enough to warrant a second run then. They never re-ran fucking Salute My Shorts. Doug was fine, Zoomers and adhd retards just can't handle a show that doesn't have BING BING WAHOO every five seconds.

Booohooooo waaaaaaahhhh
Shut up crybaby bitch
No one asked and no one cares

I watched rated r movies at that age.

I think you weren't old enough to appreciate Doug. You listed a lot of soulless newer shows that came after the first nicktoons. Doug is boring to you because it was an artsy slice of life that had no predecessor. Your list is a bunch of "eXtreme" 90s slop. Like let's make a cartoon about successful movie. Let's put in skateboards. It's fine if that's your speed, but that's the pattern right there.

I also watched this show as a kid. My impression is that it was a nice, mellow and quirky cartoon. If you actually act like this show is the source of your mediocrity, you're a loser.

This sums up Doug and the show perfectly
The guy making it of his own nostalgia, finally meets Patti again after the show blew up, only to find out she's married.
It's genuinely perfect

beta orbiting, not even once

It's fine if that's your speed, but that's the pattern right there.

it's the ADHD that started skyrocketing in the 90s. Kids just a few years apart had completely different attention spans.

DOUG FUNNNNY
OH WHAT A GUY
HE'S A GUY WHO'S MADE OF COOOOOL
HE'S STILL IN SCHOOOOOOL

Wow shit, a real tough guy

To be fair, you have to have a really high iq to appreciate Doug.

dissappointed in me because he thought of me as not a real man. He told me so when I was 16.

This is the craziest thing about boomers. The only room for disappointment is realizing all the shit other parents did for their kids that didn't even occur to your parents. Like, you have their genes, and they raised you. Being disappointed is a self own. Like the product isn't even finished, and you're still in the factory and they're still making you. The product we're making isn't coming out right, guess we just get angry and not do anything helpful to fix normal problems.

I don't remember many shows but from what I remember we also had a show called "Typical fir Andy"(??) With a prankster guy in a canadian town. It was also very very mild.

What's With Andy if you want to revisit it

Unironically the millennial generation was the first generation to grow up with parents letting devices babysit their kids. People complain about everything under the sun except for the fact that our society literally creates sedating media for children so that both parents can spend more energy on work. Society since the 80's has become more and more like this thanks to policy shifts towards shareholder capitalism and globalism and a society that is increasingly hostile towards and uncaring towards its people. Oh we'll coddle the rich, of course, but how dare parents not earn enough to support a family on one income? That's... that's just impossible, we can't do that! Imagine society if families could survive on one income! Imagine a society where moms could take care of their kids, what kind of communist hellscape would that be! The economy would suffer, the ECONOMY IS ALL THAT MATTERS, COMMIE

A poor craftsman blames his tools. A good one blames his sons.

IIRC they actually did try to reboot Doug but nobody gave a fuck so it died on the vine. The cartoon really was a timeslot benchwarmer because no child alive looked forward to watching it. No kid ever had to choose between Doug on Nickelodeon or an actual popular show like EE&E or Pokemon.

IIRC they actually did try to reboot Doug but nobody gave a fuck so it died on the vine

Is this nigga actually pretending like Disney's Doug wasn't a thing?

watching the disney channel

ishygddt

poorfag that grew up without cable detected

No, I'm old enough to have watched Doug when it aired and it was boring because he was a fucking pussy with a racially ambigous green-ass friend that honked. Doug jerked off to the idea of Patti and him being together in his diary while Roger ended up fucking her. Why the fuck would any kid want to sit in a classroom for 8 hours a day, five days a week and invest time getting up on Saturday mornings into a show where an inferior Niles Crane pussyfoots and secretely crushes on Daphne Moon?

extreme 90's slop

Recess was "extreme?" Weekenders was "extreme?"

like let's make a cartoon about a successful movie

Literally the first sentence of any network board meeting that would guarantee a return for their investment

Let's put in skateboards

Which show featured skateboards?

It's fine if that's your speed

I think Little Bear might be your speed.

How else would I know how gay it was?

Anons if you are this age and you feel this strongly about someone, pursue them anyways. Unless she has kids. Obviously don't steal her but be friends and see if she likes you back and hates her husband.

I had one of these who I didn't realize liked me back and hated her husband, I avoided her out of respect for a marriage, I didn't find out she was into me until after she divorced, had kids with another guy years later.

Be more proactive. Oneitis is brutal and stupid but the other ones you find and settle for later don't really match up.

I saw the Doug movie in theaters. I don't remember any of it.

It’s really sad how my coworkers treat finding childcare as a nuisance because they have to be at work 9 hours a day. Their kids are growing up in the background while they fret over who they’re going to dump them on this week. All women who fell for the working mom swindle.
I’m talking about a streaming reboot during the 2010s.

Which show featured skateboards?

Rocketpower which was superior to Doug.

Rocketpower which was superior to Doug.

I like Klasky Csupo, but no, this show sucked. Only thing worse was As Told by Ginger.

I hated rocketpower anf specially hated that faggot white kid they kept as a pet

I believe it made false promises about rewards for being "good" or "nice" or "sensitive" or "creative".

I don't think so, people will treat you better for being these things. You wouldn't believe how much I've fucked up and how many chances I've squandered but still managed to recover because people generally think of me as a good guy.who deserves a break.

Matter of fact, if you have neither talent, nor looks nor money, likability is one of the only survival strategies you've left.

>"Doug is a pussy"

Well I mean, yeah, he was.

We are raising generations that are becoming increasingly mentally ill because we keep destroying structures in society that are important for child development. This isn't some kinda lib shit, I'm talking about something as simple as the concept of having neighborhood activities. Most people I know don't give a shit about their neighbors. They don't want to get to know them or have neighborhood parties or whatever. That didn't start with the millennials, the boomers I know were already like this. My grandpa probably knows everybody that's ever lived on his street, my mom doesn't even know her neighbor's name and kept us inside all day growing up. How the fuck did this happen?

But he was in grade school. Why does it matter if he's a """pussy"""?

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was superior to Doug.
Bart Simpson was superior to Doug.
Maybe Doug could have been cooler if he skateboarded.

Skeeter enjoyer

having a dad

Anon...

a show where an inferior Niles Crane pussyfoots and secretely crushes on Daphne Moon?

LMAO at least Niles and Daphne were charming and had good chemistry. They were also played by wonderful actors. Doug and Patty were so boring they felt like background characters in their own show.

Not him but you tell me why it matters. Some anon admitted to being a 40 year old virgin because of this show.

Why does it matter if he's a """pussy"""?

It doesn't. Modern anons are so mind-broken by Anon Babble shit they physically can't watch show about a male character that isn't a complete alpha chad that always wins without screaming about leftism.

When the main characters dog, best friend, and arch enemy are more memorable and better characters than the leads, its time to pack it in.

Mass immigration, loss of social cohesion, homogenity, and comradery. Everyone stays inside their little ponds.

Kek but in the context of this thread, I guess. It's like a marshmallow test. Like they didn't have to make dougs hot sister a beatnik, but to a curious kid that was weird and interesting as hell.

Recess was "extreme?"

You're out of your element. Xtreme was an aesthetic thing that took over the 90s and early 2000s like a cancer. Think poochie from the Simpsons. Things got aggressively dumb.

Also little bear rules.

You're out of your element

My name's not Donnie, Walter.

Xtreme was an aesthetic thing that took over the 90s and early 2000s

Well, thanks for that history lesson, proff. Would you mind pointing out which show I listed had this "xteme to the MAX" rot you're describing vaguely?

Also little bear rules.

Okay, sure. Want your sippy cup too?

I never got this as well, he just thought parking me in front of a screen taught me every life skill. I bloomed late and became a semi-good man except with social skills at least.
Aaah, that's the english name! Thank you! I remember watching it quite often, it was more entertaining than Doug at least. The only episode I remember though is the one were he plays dead and nobody gives a shit.
Agree 100%, we are witnessing the slow process of the elites creating a cattle race thst will only work.
Notice the complete lack of empathy for other's misfortune in like 80% of cases? The "fuck you, got mine" mindset and the !percieved! merit people see in themselves once they "made it" has gotten out of control.

Little bear had a really cool cello soundtrack, was well drawn and the duck was hilarious. I think people just experience reality on different levels.

Off the top of my head, rocket power was basically the numetal era of nickelodeon. Recess and pepper Ann. I still don't think you get the extreme thing. Baggie clothes, popsicle it's the colors, sports oriented episodes, 3d doritos, baked lays that gave people diarrhea. A lot of flash and action over substance and character and emotion. Doug had a lot of plots that were unsolvable social situations where you're like what the fuck is he actually going to do. If you were a thinky kid, losing those kinds of shows was something you noticed and were kind of bummed out about. Maybe not until ed edd and eddy/Dexter's lab did anything have soul.

New incel excuse just dropped

Doug is one of the OG incels.

i remember thinking doug was gay when i was a kid but i still watched it because it was chill. and this was before my mind had been warped by the internet. i tried to rewatch it recently and it didn't take. presumably my mind is too dark and cynical now and impervious to its wholesomeness

The one where Doug needs a haircut and can't find a good barber, the one where Doug and Patty finally go on a date and then discuss whether it was a , well, you know, and one where Skeeter moves away like 2 blocks or something

The IRL Patty married the IRL Roger.

he was a loser, and made losers think it was okay to be the way they are.

Never said it did, retard. But he was.

lmao this nigga doug
shoulda pressed the faster button retard

Doug made me an incel

he looks like milhouse, you dont make a milhouse show and expect to be popular.

shoulda pressed the faster button retard

kek

Anon its a children's cartoon. Do you understand anything about children? Do you know how tv producers choose their characters? I.e. by their relatability? It is not often that I read a post that is so disconnected from reality without being a meme or chan tradition. Your input has caused me to pause and meditate on how wildly variable and cutting edge the human intellect is as an evolutionary trait. One day, we will have "tapped out" on the evolutionary arms race of the mind and gone on to select for something different, and then the intellectual valley between everyday people like you and I will be basically nil, replaced by some other vast evolutionary disparity.

shut up bitch
