Does anybody else hate Doug as a character? I don't really understand why the show makes him out to be some good guy; you watch it and all he does is whine and complain about not getting that juicy mayonnaise pussy. He's like charlie brown but an idiot.
Does anybody else hate Doug as a character...
Doug is a profound meditation on a child's reaction to sexual abuse.
We clearly see Mr. Dink groom Doug multiple times. He shows Doug his home, his appliances, and his neat items. "Very expensive", he says over and over. This is a classic way for an aging pedophile to appeal to a young boy. He grooms the boy for sex by winning his trust and luring him with fancy gifts. Dink's deflowering of Doug takes place, quite naturally, offscreen. The brutal molestation/rape would not fly in a cartoon.
Doug's fantasies are his escape mechanism. To forget the sight of that veiny purple cock penetrating his tiny butthole, Doug invents personas for himself to overcome his shame. Quailman and Smash Adams are two of these personas. It's also strongly suggested that Porkchop, his confidante in the delusional fantasies, is the only other character he is willing to tell about Dink's abuse.
Your failure to understand Doug's psyche is not a reflection of the actual depth of his character, and it betrays the fact that you're a dyed-in-the-wool pleb.
Try watching something more your speed, you fucking troglodyte.

I never saw the Disney version, but the Nickelodeon series was the most boring goddamn cartoon.

None of the characters were really "good"
Does anybody else hate Doug as a character?
no. you completely missed the point, fagtard zoomer
VERY EXPENSIVE
he wrote in his journal every night clearly he was a bitch or gonna shoot up the school luckily it was the latter
Holy kek how did you get filtered by the characters? Mr. Dink is Doug's foil because he never grew up, never had kids, and spends his empty life on expensive toys.
ths is gay af. ignore this, whether creepypasta or not. fucking fag shit solved the captcha on this.
Doug is such a loser he'd shoot up his school and kill everyone but Roger and Percy.
In hindsight it makes you wonder why skeeter was his friend.
this show got mogged by hey arnold
HONK HONK
whenever Doug gets brought up I always think of the episodes where he went to an Asian restaurant and the music for the scene was literally some guy going "ching ching ching, ching ching ching ching ching ching"
kek lost memory
youtu.be
someone post the real life patty cope paste lol
What was Mr. Dink's ethnic/religious background?
it was a different (better) time
lol holy shit
Doug was Christianity Lite. It was a Christian message but gentle enough for secular TV. He never expressed faith. But each lesson was like "be honest" or "work hard." He wasn't an anti-hero. The lesson was never "fuck people over because that's success."
Patti was his ideal wife. She was healthy and respectable. Porkchop and Skeeter were his brothers in Christ. Mr. Dink was an example of how older people may seem weird to kids but they can impart wisdom and Christ's love.
Judy was Doug's true foil. She took humanist art and literature extremely seriously. She didn't appear to have friends or a work ethic or romantic interests. And you never saw her eyes because sunglasses.
The visuals and sounds of Doug at that moment will never be replicated. Minimalist yet colorful animation. Rock guitar riffs and acappella vocal jazz. Pop culture references without blatantly marketing toys. Legend-tier, distinctive voice acting. All without a whiff of pretension. It was true art.

It's funny to think of the era when Sushi was this weird, exotic kind of food, as opposed to something you could get at pretty much every big grocery store.
i agree
Between this and that Simpsons episode where Homer thinks he got poisoned after consuming fugu, it's neat to see a time where sushi in the U.S. was this strange exotic food, and not something every store sells.
i miss the between times when it was popular enough to be readily available but not so popular that restrauants could charge outrageous prices
Did Execs at Nickelodeon not accept black best friends at this time? Why was he blue?
"HONKY HONKY". What did Skeeter mean by that?
In the 1980s it would have been unheard of outside of major cities like NYC, LA, Chicago and Toronto - hence the reaction when the rich chick brings it for lunch in the movie The Breakfast Club.
Early to mid 90s it had started popping up in smaller places - hence episodes like the fugu Simpsons episode and Doug.
By the early 2000s it had reached this point And now where at a point where even the small town I grew up in (population 20,000) has not one, but TWO sushi restaurants, and you can get pre-made sushi platters at goddam Piggly Wiggly.

reminder
Doug was the original "Diary of a Wimpy Kid"
Lol yes it was a different time. Chalky Studebaker would look like Travis Hunter not Ryan Reynolds.
anyone have the music that played whenever the two twin nerds came around? the music in this show was fucking funny
Why was he blue?
if he were green he would die.
Unironically I'll never live in a society where you see huwites so huwite that they seem sickly
I fucking hate this show. This music makes me feel like I’m being molested.
Yeah, it has that vibe, doesn't it?
