>Doug loses his journal
>Roger is the one that found it
>Returns it but makes a joke about how he can't even read it because of how shitty and illegible it was

This guy was more based than I remembered. Roger probably could read it but just didn't give a FUCK what was in the journal. Roger could've just burned it, defaced the interior with his own notes making fun of Doug or just not even return it at all.

Roger probably thought Doug was super conceited for even thinking he would.

>>150753635 (OP)
Doug would be an incel school shooter who would lose his shit when Patty turns him down

>>150753635 (OP)
It doesn't seem in-character for Roger to lie about something that doesn't benefit him

>>150753635 (OP)
Guy makes cartoon about childhood
Makes real person a bully
Years later meets said person and apologizes, said person didn't even care he was portrayed as a bully

>>150753635 (OP)
Its funny to me because it always feels like Roger is trying to be Doug's friend when I watch the show. His scheme's are pretty harmless, its not like he is kicking Doug's ass or anything.

>>150753719
Yes, Doug is supposed to be worrying about nothing and is frankly kind of a wimp. This is true about every problem he encounters.

>>150753635 (OP)
Roger was just a poor kid who didn't know how to interact with an autist but still tried to socialize with the guy. He's alright.

>>150753736
Yeah. Doug takes things 100% too seriously. Patty invites Doug to her birthday, just casually mentioned she is going to have liver and onions. Doug hates it, but since it's Patty forces himself to eat it like he's trying to build an immunity.

Goes to the party, Patty was just joking with him. No, she obviously isn't going to serve liver and onions at a God damn kids party.

>>150753635 (OP)
Doug was a fucking pussy, this show was pro-bullying. I wanted to beat the shit out of Doug as a kid and I was a victim.

>>150753679
>Years later meets said person and apologizes, said person didn't even care he was portrayed as a bully
why would he? the bully was literally married to his crush lmao

>>150753660
he's just like me frfr

>>150753786

True, Doug wouldn't even have existed if the creator hadn't been bullied

Roger was a nicer guy than he gets credit for. He even helped organize Doug's surprise one year anniversary in Bluffington party. By the end of the series they're more or less friends that talk shit to each other. Roger is also a guy who's a "bully" mostly because he thinks it's funny fucking with people, rather than out of extreme sadism or anything.

>>150753635 (OP)
>>150753719
Over the course of the series there's a general progression where Doug and Roger become friends, I'm pretty sure this was one of the turning points. In the last season there's stuff like Roger inviting Doug to his birthday party and in the finale Roger and Doug work together and Roger confides in Doug that he's afraid to graduate because of what the new school might be like. It's actually one of the neater aspects of the show.

>>150753635 (OP)
One of the most subtle fucking things on this wacky show about technicolor people with goofy mannerisms and a soundtrack made entirely of a guy's voice going 'doo doo doo', is that the bully is actually a well-meaning guy who just sees a wimpy kid and wants to guide him to grow the fuck up, but because his father left him, he has no fucking idea how to do that properly, so he almost always makes it worse. And Doug is also JUST barely too wimpy to ever accept that kind of guidance. and HIS dad is like, the softest dad in all of TV. Basically useless.
>>150753768
it makes you wonder what his life was like in Bloatsburg, if this is what he assumes about everyone he meets. Maybe they moved for a REASON.
I know in the Disney show, we got to see his old best friend from Bloatsburg (even though they periodically fucked up the continuity so it seemed like the Funnies had lived in Bluffington for years), and he was a fucking chumbucket, so...

>>150753635 (OP)
Yeah that was the joke for damn near every Doug episode. Doug was in his own head way too damn much and (ironically) had MC syndrome, so every episode was him making mountains out of molehills. The writers played it straight as the joke. Then for some reason in later seasons and on Disney seasons the whole thing became unironic.
It's like if current internet humor somehow cycled back into serious business and everyone started being dead serious about the most trivial memes and acting on them IRL.

>>150754012
Are you saying that Roger and I are the only anons with green skin?

>>150754012
yeah but it's more than that..
A lot of episodes are about Doug assuming people who are generally friendly to him will blow up at him, but with Roger, that's actually valid... sort of. This was a genuine surprise to the viewer, that he's not gonna try to tease him or anything. In the end, Beebe is a much worse person.

>>150754050
Off top my head
Doug has a generic superman OC Quail Man
Literally Doug with a towel and belt on his head

Skeete oh kool my character is Dilver surfer OC with the power of everything

Doug does the most Chris Chan sperg about how his OC can't he stronger than his OC

Skeeter "dude I thought we were just having fun"

>>150754092
Yeah that's maybe one of my favorites due to Doug's tism, especially because Quail Man is just so lame. (Not that the Silver Skeet is amazing either)

>>150754092
Anon I liked that episode too, but I have no idea how that pertains to the current discussion. That was a rare case of an episode NOT being about Doug inflating things in his head. Instead it was about two nerds with very different ideas about what constitutes a good comic book, trying to collab. One actually cares about integrity, the other just wants silver age silliness.

>>150753635 (OP)
>imagines himself as a superhero wearing literal tighty whities
Doug was such a loser

>>150754162
He probably heard "oh super heroes wear underpants outside their suits" once and took it way too literally, forgetting aesthetics entirely.

>>150754147
Sorry anon. Truth is I don't think about Doug. This thread is popping off small little member berries of Doug in my head that I'm posting.

>>150753719
>its not like he is kicking Doug's ass or anything.
Remember there is an episode when an actual bully joins the school, and he beats up Roger on a daily basis.
Doug tries to stop him, making the bully beat him instead.

>>150754147
>that was a rare case of an episode NOT being about Doug inflating things in his head
I don't recall that happening much, besides the fat episode

>>150754147
Doug, its been 40 years. This is a Filipino basket weaving forum. You can stop.

>>150754177
Was Doug autistic?

>>150754239
Doug is a spectrum unto himself.

>>150754239
If you asked him about Quail Man, he like some of /co/, tumblr, etc would have a laundry list of linear lore details that he could rattle off.

>>150754177
i got the impression Doug made the costume himself out of shit around the house, and was so enamored with it, that he drew it -accurately- into his comics, instead of yknow, improving on it.. like he's so imaginative in normal life, but then when he SHOULD be imaginative, he's suddenly sticking to the mundane
>>150754221
ohhh yeah. that was a good one. and I wanna say all three of them were Billy West.
>>150754223
oh you
>>150754193
ahaha, me too. yeah. I think my favorite was when they met the Beets. But I'm super biased because the Beets just fucking rock https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2P--apBcoQ

>>150754221
I vaguely recall that, the bully was related to the principal in some way with some implication he would be physically punished, such behavior was likely what made him a bully in the first place

>>150753804
No way this is true he got the girl? I need more info on this cause I knew it was based on a real bully but not the rest lol
>>150753679
Honestly, why apologize? It's like with eminem's bully if you hate em have the balls to commit to it

>>150754398
i don't think we have the whole story, but we know that Patti did meet up with Jim again, and did about as good a job of avoiding leading him on as Patti Mayonnaise did with Doug. It's sad how lonely people are now that women are basically discouraged from being such close friends with guys because we will definitely get the wrong idea.

then people joked that Patti's husband was Roger / the guy Roger was based on

Is it just me or have there been a lot of Doug threads lately that have actually been doing pretty well? Is Doug having like a mini-revival in interest or something? I'm kinda down for that if so, I feel like the show was unfairly maligned for a long time.

>>150754458
Doug was 'maligned' for the same reason every Daria thread is full of people dogpiling on the character and calling her terrible
we allowed normies onto the internet, and after the tumblring, they outnumber actual 4chan users 2 to 1. and these shows in the 90s were insulting them, so they hate that

>>150753635 (OP)
Roger was always the best character.

>>150753943
>Bloatsburg
Given the way that Doug reacts to VERY common events and concepts I can only assume that Bloatsburg was some kind of off the grid, Amish type commune.
>Hey Doug what kind of music do you like?
>What is.... music?

I mean I get not everyone's a huge music guy and I wouldn't expect them to name really out there obscure shit but you should at least a song or two off hand.

>>150754577
That's a really good point. Obviously the Doylian reason is that a show works better with a character who doesn't know anything so they can explain it to him, but.. It does bring to mind how basically all syndicated shows back then demanded a status quo and little if any discussion of their past.

>>150754498
are you fucking stupid? I'm as autistic as they come and even I knew doug was an insufferable faggot
fucking nobody likes doug

Doug is the specific reason why I never thought of writing a journal. My thoughts are to myself. A journal seems like a covert way of authority figures wanting you to tell on yourself. I would just out lie if I had the motivation to write one out.

>>150754239
Isn't he like 10 or 11 years old? Kids can be very dumb and literal.

>>150754318
>like he's so imaginative in normal life, but then when he SHOULD be imaginative, he's suddenly sticking to the mundane

Doug very much strikes me as that kind of "creative" kid who wasn't really all that talented but because he's really young and you want to encourage him you give him some praise just so you don't dash his enthusiasm but then he never actually really improves but nobody else around him has any talent in this area so what little he has kind of goes to his head in a not totally egotistical sense but generally gives him the wrong sense of where is talent level wise.

Honestly, there was always very much a sense of self edifying insertion where he wants to be presented as kind of a misunderstood outsider despite having a half dozen friends at any given instance ready to praise him and how talented he thinks he is.

>>150754646
That's a good idea. Keep a journal for years, making up cool shit about yourself. Then when you die and your family finds it, they'll think "damn, I never knew he had such a cool secret life banging models and racing motorcycles. He even met Barack Obama."

>>150754660
youthful naivete only goes so far.

>150754643
God i love when people make my point for me
>>150754660
11, yeah. Billy West said he based the voice on himself at that age, just really melodramatic and timid. and Fry was himself in his 20s, all whiny and lazy.

>>150754686
See when I die I'm gonna leave a journal stating that I buried all my vast fortune a giant W that people will no doubt scramble to find resulting in a series of comedic misadventures and potential felonies. And the only thing they'll find is a use DVD copy of the movie Rat Race.

>>150754686
Write normal journal for years and during the span of a few months I end up writing in binary until it looks like I was taken over by a hivemind or pod person. I write in my journal as some weird attempt to keep up appearance knowing no one but myself would read it. Writing plans, and how I was able to infect other people in my school, and even faculty member making sure neither of my parent think they would be targeted. Saved for last because they would give up the game.

>>150754669
Seriously, we have a problem in america in particular. Everything kids do is praised, because of the toxic positivity that the culture was infected with starting in the 80s. even as a kid, I realized that CONSTANT praise was meaningless, and only people who like SOME of what you do, but dislike other parts, are telling the truth.
>misunderstood outsider
when? Doug never seemed like that to me. Nor do I recall his friends praising him often.. just his parents.

>>150754732
Just go full itchy tasty.

>>150754690
It's been years (decades maybe?) since I've watched Doug, but I do remember certain aspects of Doug's world being weird and cartoonish. Like what the fuck was going on with the cars.
Anyway, I could easily see Doug just aping an existing superhero that literally wore their underwear as a costume in the same way.

>>150754728
literally nobody here thinks doug is mocking them

>>150754646
I also never understood the point of a journal, until I became old enough to start forgetting my own past, and what I used to think at any given time.
>>150754731
>not the original it's a mad mad mad mad mad world
partial credit.
>>150754755
Oh yeah it's a totally bizarre world. That's why that one blog "Doug Funnie is Crazy" is so fucking hilarious. it's written from the POV of someone who doesn't understand it's a cartoon, and thinks every surreal part of the show is Doug's delusions.

>>150754769
>>not the original it's a mad mad mad mad mad world
>partial credit.

That's the joke

>>150754782
alright, now that I see by 'use' you meant 'used,' now I get the joke.

>>150754755
>Like what the fuck was going on with the cars.
Cars are hard to draw.

>>150754799
I always liked Doug cars, and to some extent Dragon Ball cars, way better than real life. at least, better than real life in the 21st century. older cars were a lot better.

Roger couldn’t read it cause he can’t read cursive

>>150754451
I think it's all about balance, but yeah really think girls need more "real" guy friends to help them out and vice versa. Be less hate between genders and loneliness would go down even if just a bit.

Ah ok makes more sense I was like no way that's just crazy

>>150754748
Yarp

>>150753635 (OP)
In that season one episode where the Beets first appeared, he really wanted Doug to go with him. I don't think Roger hated Doug. He kinda saw him as a friend; he just liked busting Doug's chops.

>>150753806
Is this unironically how /pol/ sees themselves?

>>150754858
100%
I'm glad my daughter is already way more sane than others in her generation, and I guarantee HER kids are going to be better than what little there is of theirs.
>>150754897

are you stupid?

>>150754769
>it's written from the POV of someone who doesn't understand it's a cartoon, and thinks every surreal part of the show is Doug's delusions.

I wouldn't point fingers when you don't understand that he's just taken a piss on something that's very easily pissable. This is going to sound shocking but not everything you read on the internet is intended with full sincerity.

>>150754347
He was Mr. Bone's (the vice principal) nephew, so everybody thought he had a "get out of jail" free card in his pocket, thus telling a teacher would only make matters worse.
By the end of the episode, when the bully wanted to give Doug an everlasting beat-up, Roger goes to Mr. Bone and he stops the fight, and even expels his nephew because
>"I told my sister you were a lost case"
Or something among the lines, it was a nice detail that showed Mr. Bone had no issue being strict with even his own family.

I only saw Doug as "whimpy" in the first season. In later seasons, he gets more used to Bluffington which makes him gain more confidence and he stands up for himself more often.

>>150754936
fred newman deserves like six fucking grammies

>>150754960
oh no, I love the way he pokes fun at the show, but he also clearly does it in a way where "he" is also a fool. that's what makes that blog so funny.
>>150754991
Mr. Bone was fuckin hilarious. as a kid I thought he was actually voiced by Don Knotts. It's not like that'd be that weird, Don Adams did a voice in Pepper Ann.

What the fuck was Mr. Bone's problem? Seems like he targeted Doug a lot.

>>150754995
it's funny, that spelling of 'wimpy' is so obviously wrong, and yet the term almost certainly does derive from 'whimper' or at least from the same root. so it shouldn't seem wrong.
>>150755032
90s schools in a nutshell. as agents of the government, their primary job is to punish the innocent and protect the guilty.

>>150753635 (OP)
Being young is believing Roger
Growing up is knowing Roger read it and didn't like that Doug saw him as a total asshole and that Doug is more pathetic than him so he takes pity and gives it back.

>>150753719
>it always feels like Roger is trying to be Doug's friend when I watch the show
The problem was that Roger was regularly pushing Doug to cheat, steal, or cut corners, and he was dismissive when Doug tried to do the right thing.
Like, yeah, he was trying to connect with Doug, but it wasn't the kind of connection that Doug wanted and he was right to be wary of that.

>>150755083
You have to wonder what he really thought about always being drawn as the badguy. He was Mad Scientist Klotz, Godzilla Klotz, whatever. And all the other kids constantly celebrated it. I bet that hurt. A lot. You know the kid doesn't have a father figure to start with.

>>150755083
That's one way of looking at it...
Possibly he felt bad about coming off like such a jerk
>>150755091
yeah exactly. He wanted them to be mutually culpable in something. As a lowlife with rickets, that is how he believes men bond. His dad is almost definitely in prison.

This episode pissed me off. Why was this bitch so stupid?

>>150755032
>What the fuck was Mr. Bone's problem? Seems like he targeted Doug a lot.
New kid in town. Zero tolerance. Par to course.

>>150755120
seriously. Who the fuck goes into teaching adolescents and can't pick up on one of them having a crush on her? She made Doug look like a fucking student of humanity by comparison.

>>150753804
>the bully was literally married to his crush lmao
I don't remember that part.

>>150755152
it's part of an internet joke thing based on a personal story that we're all asking ourselves why Jim Jinkins shared with us.

>>150755120
Because Doug was a retard. He kept over correcting instead of just simmering down.
>Makes a suck up card
>Doesn't do his assignment
>Wonders why teacher is mad

>>150755193
iunno dude I was smart enough to get straight As and I still did dumb shit like that at his age.

>>150755212
You can get good grades and still be a complete fuckwad.

>>150754897
no, we're more like.this

that episode of Doug where Roger brings fentanyl to school and sells it to Doug and Skeeter

>>150755193
I empathized with Doug because I was in a similar situation. Never been written up since second grade. Straight A student. Interim head principal in high school throws the fucking book at me because he was power tripping at the time. All I did was curse out a girl who was annoying me on a bad day and he said it was "sexual harassment".

>>150755032
Mediocre power-tripper. He's the ASSistant principal at an elementary school and he thinks he's hot shit.

Nickelodeon Doug was pretty good. Disney Doug was weird.

>>150755274
I caught hell from a sub once but when the real teacher came back she threw it all out and we had a good laugh.

>>150755083
>Growing up is knowing Roger read it and didn't like that Doug saw him as a total asshole and that Doug is more pathetic than him so he takes pity and gives it back.
That'd be a cool fan-comic.

>>150755227
it's true..
but I feel like I did fewer stupid things than others my age. Honestly the thing about Doug's peers is they all seem TREMENDOUSLY mature. They all go to the Honker Burger on their own, they have their own money... Nobody else is ever having their own adventure except maybe that one short pink kid with the big lips,

>>150755288
>Disney Doug was weird.
I'm still not really clear how Disney had a claim on it. All I hears was that they were working on a similar show at the time (Pepper Ann?) and that gave them dibs? But the concept of the show was pretty broad.

>>150755274
Jesus christ, anon. I thought surely you were my age based on that description, but right at the end that places you MUCH younger.

The traumatic memory I'll never lose was when another teacher entered the classroom, and I vaguely recognized her, but knew she was not someone I'd seen often, so I said "oh, whose mom are you again?" because I thought she was one of my classmates' moms. She did the 90s equivalent of pulling me out of there by my ear, which was screaming at me in a shrill voice and demanding I come down to her classroom so she could write me a pink slip. I was bawling and I didn't understand what I did wrong. I shouldn't feel good about the fact that, statistically, she's dead now. but I do anyway.

>>150755292
Shit, my mom was pissed about that too. She got a lawyer involved and everything.

>>150755297
>Honestly the thing about Doug's peers is they all seem TREMENDOUSLY mature.

No that was pretty ubiquitous at least until the mid late 90s. As kids we used to drive our bikes all over the place by ourselves. And if you're going out it's not weird to ask your parents for burger money. Plus on the whole Bluffington seems a pretty low crime area. If you want to talk about kids running around unsupervised look to Hey Arnold. Inner city downtown? As fourth graders? Hell no.

>>150755282
did anyone ever actually have an assistant principal at school?
I went to a huge variety of schools, from the inner city, to rich suburbs, to poorer suburbs, to rural areas.. at least 12 different schools, not one ever had an assistant principal. You got in big enough trouble (like that time i said 'the hell does that mean' to another kid in line), you got sent to the principal.

>>150755297
I think partly it's "spritually" about teenagers instead of elementary school kids and was aged down to, supposedly, better appeal to kids (and Doug is way too immature to be a teen without him being a retard) and partly because it's from 1990 and shut-in constant surveilance kids were not a meme yet.

>>150755288
what's odd is, it SHOULDN'T have been that different. It was all the same team. buuut it was less money, and I guess that's all it took to demoralize everyone. Billy West didn't see why he should take a pay cut when something was big enough to be bought out by another company.

I like that the principal and assistance principal have easily mockable names but it never comes up.

>>150755342
yeahhhh hey arnold felt like a period piece.
doug just felt like a very idealized present day.
>>150755355
I remember one promo was like "Will Doug make the grade? SEVENTH GRADE!" and for ages I was like ohhh I see, that's why..
but it turns out no, they're 11.
>shut-in constant surveillance kids were not a meme yet
nope, but it was reality. all the parents did it, while simultaneously asking why kids were so different now than their day.

>>150755348
My high school was technically two different schools and had separate principals for each one, but a head principal for the entire school.

>>150755369
in fairness everyone on this show has weird fucking names
finding out that 'DINK' is actually an acronym for Dual Income, No Kids cracked me up.
and the fact that Skeeter was actually named Mosquito and that was just his nickname.. given that I grew up on Muppet Babies and thought Skeeter was just a name. and then we had Cousin Skeeter later, the fuck was that.

>>150754498
you don't care about Doug, you just wanted to eat Daria's ass
that much is obvious by the way your take on Doug is complete horse shit

>>150755397
okay that weirdly makes sense.
>>150755408
Why the fuck would I want to eat her ass? her pussy is RIGHT next to it, that's what I want to eat
and I care a lot about Doug. I would have taken that kid under my wing for sure. Told him his drawings were awesome, but also gotten him to chill the fuck out. I was always the biggest kid, and the one picked on by bullies (because that way you can't fight back or you look bad)

>>150755342
Shoot, in the 90s my younger brother and I would ride our bikes to the abandoned construction site and play on the huge piles of earth. We would play "King of the Hill" and "Tag" and "Fuck You Eat a Clod of Dirt" with our neighborhood friends.

Fun times!

>>150754498
Were they? I would say both Dough and Daria are just products of their time. You'd had to be there to understand the type of people portrayed and school culture has changed so much the whole loser/jock/prep/nerd/whatever else archetype no longer exists and has mutated into new archetypes, 90s schools aren't recognizable to modern teens.

>>150755417
unhinged

>>150754458
idk did the tiktok zoomers discover it I'm sure they'll just treat it like they did Clone High and Moral Orel and miss the point completely

>>150755348
Lol wat? I'm from a relatively affluent district and there was one assistant in middle school and FOUR in high school (assigned based on first letter of last name).

Didn't have one in elementary though.

>>150753635 (OP)
This copypasta again? We had an influx of these threads months ago. Roger was never based, he was always an asshole.

>he finally meets up with his dream girl.
>she opens the door to a nice house, has a huge pregnant belly and looks completely happy surrounded by her children
>her doctor husband is at work and doesn't even know you visited or even care.

>>150755445
eh.. yeah, but the problems were never solved, just new problems were added that made them superfluous. Today I'd be the one called a bully.
>>150755448
I'm sorry that simple basic wholesome desires seem so unhinged to you. I can only hope you someday become much older than you are.
>>150755464
You know what, I can't promise I had no assistant principal in the richest school I went to. Past elementary, the principal kinda stopped mattering. And past middle school, I no longer went to very affluent areas. well kind of. One school was on one of those towns where like, there's nothing there, so people buy cheap houses to wait for the value to go up.. so they had a little money, and people went on vacations a lot.

>>150755486
Why did he do this to himself?

>>150755439
>"Fuck You Eat a Clod of Dirt" with our neighborhood friends.
I loved that game. Sometimes it turned into a rousing round of "THAT WAS A ROCK YOU FAGGOT!" Wholesome.

>>150755445
>>150754498
Now that I think about it Doug and Daria are different sides of the same outcast coin.

HEY DOUGLATH COME ANALYTHE THE RADIUTH OF MY PENITH

>>150755527
That was the one that concluded with a round of "Gangstomp the Son of a Bitch," right?

>>150755532
Totes. It sucked being smart in the 90s. The years of there being ANY benefit to that were long over, but we were still being promised that it would pay off someday, and we should just be patient while we're treated like shit
And heaven help you if you grew up somewhere with a less fun culture. Goood lord. Joyless goddamn germans populating this state.

>>150755348
They'd call them "vice principals" at our elementary schools. They'd be as bad and commanding as the usual principal, if that one wasn't up to doing certain jobs.
Anyone ever had schools that liked to blast student beefs over the intercom and order specific names to come down to the office for CONFLICT RESOLUTION? The vice principal at one would love to do that, where she wouldn't even hear both sides out and would usually side with the aggressor side. She'd then force both kids to say "I want to be your friend" to each other and claim that would end the problem. When it obviously wouldn't, she'd of course blame the bullied parties and said that they were supposed to be friends because they said "I want to be your friend" to the kid who mashed their face into a wall.

>>150755571
yeah, most TV shows went with 'vice principal' too.
>blast student beefs over the intercom
... what? holy shit, that's the strangest thing I've ever heard from a school.. and I thought mine were wishy-washy ultra-leftist, but we never did THAT. at least not publicly, and not involving the principal, vice or otherwise.

the public school system might be the single most effective tool in the devil's toolbelt, I swear.

>>150755547
Ah, there was nothing like the wanton violence and cruelty of children.

>>150755592
This was the 1990s-2000s South Florida school system, so admittedly it might be a red state thing if not that specific faculty's particular way of handling kids getting beat up and bullied (not at all handled), but it'd be messed up if it still went on today.

>>150755552
>The years of there being ANY benefit to that were long over, but we were still being promised that it would pay off someday, and we should just be patient while we're treated like shit

Boy you ever get someone telling you that the smart kids would be the ones who were successful in life while the bullies pumped gas. That ended up being a load. Literally ever smarty pants in my age bracket got a degree in the same computer science course. Including the bullies who were better equipped to deal with the social aspect of job hunting and customer interaction. Man I'm glad I made fun of those nerds.

>>150755620
We were made of springs and rubber back then. Indestructible. We were as tough as our boomer parents thought THEY were in THEIR youth.

>>150755642
Yup, heard that from unsupportive parent sorts too. Or if you had parents that were fair weather Christians that only attended church on holidays but liked to put the fear of God into kids, they'd tell you that oh don't worry, one day your bullies will be burning in Hell while you'd be raptured so why would you ever be sad about being pushed down the stairs.

>>150755628
>red state thing
are you fucking delusional? it's the opposite of that. Does that sound like something a conservative state would have in its schools? Not that such a thing exists. Naw dude. These are the peaceniks. they literally put PEACE on all the school shirts and junk at my school. Troubling shit.

>>150755642
Even as a kid I'm like "but there are no gas pumping jobs, you have to pump your own. except in new jersey"
>I'm glad I made fun of those nerds
I genuinely hope something fucking horribly painful happens to you. Possibly chronic neuralgia. If it teaches you the lesson that you are not okay, and have no place on this planet.

>>150755708
Must've been some yuppies then, yeah. Florida is a weird wild card of that region, either Bible-beating or godless as possible.

>>150755735
Indeed. I was going to elaborate on that, but I figure, you live there, you're aware. I just had a very dear friend from there, and I learned a lot from her accounts. It's the most contrasting state imaginable. For every retired jew you have a corresponding hispanic illegal

>>150755719
Not being able to spot a joke is why people made fun of you.

>>150755772
Not him but if I realised that back then people were just joking with me, I would've lived a better life.

>>150755772
how the funk n' wagnels was that a joke? are you really playing the "I jus' keedeeng!" card?

>>150755750
Yeah you can get different sorts of weird school stories from there, maybe even other states but they'd either come off too "real" or unfunny to mine for fiction or people would question if something could really happen like that. It can and will.

For the "conflict resolution" school in a rather small but pretentious town, just imagine now.
>You're in your classroom still feeling tired from having to rise early
>Morning intercom blasts, you hear this woman barking "TOM PATTERSON AND HARRY FUTCH, COME DOWN TO THE VICE PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE FOR CONFLICT RESOLUTION IMMEDIATELY"
>Now everyone knows something's up with Tom and Harry, or whatever other names were called
>If either is slow in getting to the office, perhaps the bullied one out of fear because they know that vice principal won't take the matter seriously-
>Intercom will blast across the school again calling out that student for "dawdling. Get your ass to the office to face the vice-principal not taking your problem seriously, brat.

Same school also didn't want to send a kid to a hospital right away when she walked right into a glass pole when she couldn't see through smog and got a gash in her head. Next day they had a morning school conference where they unsubtly put her on blast for being dumb enough to walk into a pole, setting her up to be bullied for her head wound.

>>150755803
It was kind of depressing growing up and realizing maybe 10% of my tormentors were really just being friendly, but because of the other 90%, I was in solid defense mode at all times
It took a SHOP teacher, of all classes, to point it out to the other schmucks. "How the hell is he supposed to trust you when you constantly mess with him?"

the one that felt worst was when a girl was playing with my hair and I reflexively smacked her hand away, before realizing it was her and goin "oh it's you, sorry, carry on" and she didn't. Because everyone else who ever touched my hair (past 1st grade) was fucking with me, brandishing scissors, whatever.

>>150755804
>how the funk n' wagnels was that a joke?
Basic comedic formula.
>Establish a premise as if I was one the one side
>Punch line implies I was the other.
It's just the internet. Calm down. Goodness, you should already be taken anything said on this shit hole website with a grain of salt.

>>150755808
wwwwoww..
I recall 2nd grade gym class, the teacher very solemnly told us all if any of us ever bleed, the others have to run away like our lives depend on it. the 90s were a hell of a drug.

closest I had to that was "Friendship group" which me and two actual bullies had to go to, where we were instructed to play the 'roll the ball and say nice things to each other' game, like in Stugo except we all had the "what the fuck are we doing here" look on our faces.. that actually made me feel closer to them.
I was only there because people knew if they got me mad enough from verbal abuse, I'd eventually haul off and shove them, and get in trouble. One time I tossed a kid across the room and he collided with the african kid, and I felt bad. Tunde did nothing wrong. But yknow, in real life, if someone's making you that mad, you can leave. school is a fucking prison. I could not be held fully responsible for that shit.
I don't think I even noticed I was that much stronger than everyone else, I sure as fuck sucked at running. on TV, the biggest, strongest kid gets to be on top..

>>150755839
Ohhhhhh.. Okay, okay, I get it. that was an Emo Philips.
Alright Anon, I believe you. This time I was the asshole. But the most recent seven times this scenario played out, I was not. I know the pain of being unable to joke because other fucknuts have ruined the ability to take things as jokes.

>>150753635 (OP)
A real bully would draw dicks all over it.

>>150755889
This, or if you want it to be kid friendly, skulls.

>>150755896
yeahh that feels 90s nick friendly
it's so fucking weird how things actually got MORE restrictive. Not what I was expecting.

>>150753836
I always wondered what the Reset button I could never push did on tiger toys.

>>150753635 (OP)
Just look at what’s in Doug’s journal. We see him write in it every episode.
Roger was probably looking for some juicy shit and got the most vanilla autistic word slop he has ever seen in his life.

>>150755976
>Dear Journal. Today I was so worried Mr. Dink was moving away. And then I got so worked up imagining what kind of MEAN neighbor would move into his house! But it turns out he was just testing out his (very expensive) new luggage.
>>150755972
resets the high score

>>150755976
>>150755993
It must have been a bizarre kind of vanilla madness. Just page after page of the most innocuous happenings treated as grand earth shattering events.
>Dear Journal. Today I went to the Honker Burger and they told me they were out of my favorite drink and If I had a second choice. It was scary at first so I just ordered the last thing I heard and it turns out I like Diet Beat Cola.

>>150756044
you know what, as I recall, when Doug was imagining Roger making fun of him, the stuff he imagined him reading was... pretty much what you'd expect, and the mockery was surprisingly grounded. The kinda stuff that genuinely would be embarrassing to have someone read because, out of context, it sounds humiliating.
like wasn't there something in there about he thought he grew armpit hair, but it was just lawn clippings

>>150755950
I hate how even just the word "die" or "kill" has to be censored now, really just makes everything feel so infantilized.

>>150755889
My "Bully" once "found" my art book. It accounted for nearly 50% of my grade
Didn't ruin or damage it, he just held onto it because he thought it would be funny to see me panic over the fact that it was missing.

Unfortunately, he forgot he had it until the end of the year and didn't get it back to me until after the teacher had graded them. The sad part is that I genuinely don't doubt that he forgot he had it. He wasn't evil or violent, just slightly malicious and very stupid.

>>150756125
that shit was going back and forth for a while. I recall it was somewhat forbidden toward the end of the 90s, then suddenly it was okay again for a little while, and some daytime TV anime dubs could say 'send him to hell' in like, 2000, but then it all fucked up again..
we need to start forcibly stopping anyone who censors anything. There's no other way. They can't be allowed to have any say or any power. That's basic rights 101: if you violate others' rights, you lose yours.

>>150756148
what the fuck class had half your grade as an art book. also yeah, retards really do ruin lives. All the more reason the stupid need to submit to the smart. and all of us are a LITTLE stupid, so we should all have a servant's attitude.

>>150756148
Man, that's awful. Can relate with a similar experience though it was a math workbook.
The bully took it and wouldn't give it back, slipping it into his desk. The teacher kept scolding me for not having it, and I kept telling her he had it.
One day, it turns out he slipped it back into my desk while I wasn't looking so he made me look like a liar and stupid when my mom and teacher went to search his desk and then mine. Mom screamed at me for "making her look stupid" and I kept trying to tell her he'd taken it and must've put it back.

>>150756216
>what the fuck class had half your grade as an art book.
It was a daily art book. The end of the semester, you'd effectively have 100 images that were worth about 3 points a piece.
Which was an easy way to pass the class without any trouble, unless someone happened to take yours

>>150754035
I felt for bad for them. I wish they'd at least been able to die fighting instead of being blitzed by vampires

>>150753635 (OP)
Did Roger have a thing with Doug's sister or am I just misremembering the whole thing?

>>150756326
For one episode, yeah

>>150756326
I think he did in just one episode. I can't remember how it ended. Did she chase him off by being too weird?

>>150756326
>>150756347
>>150756357
Nick's Doug, Roger developed a crush over her and there was a whole episode of Judy letting him down softly.

Disney's Doug, there's a lot more interest showed from her, because he's RICH (which is the most accurate thing about it)

>>150756148
Adding to this story about this guy just for more context:
A girl had a seizure in our class one day and the first thing he did was put a binder under her head so that it wasn't smacking the floor anymore.
Then the next week, he'd tell me his retirement plan was to shoot himself in the back after he turned 18 then collect disability for the rest of his life.

Again, not an outright evil guy or physically violent. But sometime who would ultimately drag you down in the long run if you didn't cut them out of your life.

>>150756326
No, you're remembering that correctly

>>150756362
>the first thing he did was put a binder under her head so that it wasn't smacking the floor anymore
Is this supposed to be a bad idea? A binder's got to be softer than the floor.

>>150756326
Yes, Roger has based tastes. He was all about the art hoe.

>>150756378
... I think that was his point.

>>150756242
that's insane.. surely each day, it would be checked, and your points recorded. that sounds like something a really, really lazy teacher would come up with.
>>150756392
as a kid, I thought Judy was such a bitch. Growing up, I realized she was kind of awesome... with a little more time, and a better attitude, at least. which she kinda gained in the Disney version.

>>150756378
I'm saying that he clearly cared enough about other people that he didn't want to see them get hurt, but it wasn't enough to make up for the other issues he had.
He was ultimately crabs in a bucket.

I remember me and my twin had a beef with this wiry kid on the bus who was like a year younger than us. He was always mouthing off and acting like a punk and we told him we were sick of it. I think he took a swipe at one of us and we both tried to get at him, but he kicked one of us in the chest and pushed us back. It didn't go further than that because one of the adults broke it up. He got in big trouble for that, but me and my bro still felt bad that we didn't have a chance to fight back properly.
As it turns out, we wound up getting along pretty well with him in the years that followed. He was nice to us, and told us he had been going through some personal stuff around then, which explained his attitude. I'm glad we were able to all move past it and be friendly with each other in the end.
I hope he's doing alright.

>>150756435
honestly, as someone who's disabled from taking the wrong over the counter medication, and can't get certified disabled, his plan sounds a lot smarter than my plan to just kind of do my best and hope life works out.

>>150756445
Injuring yourself is bad, Anon.

>>150756440
I remember when these neighbor kids were always picking on me and my sister, the solution was for them to come over to our house, so we'd become friends
all it did was show them that families whose parents aren't in prison have enough disposable income to buy them toys. but their surprised reaction to our standard of living was my first exposure to the idea that lower class people really can't help being shittier, and need some understanding. I never knew we had it that good. as a kid it felt like everything was too expensive, then I grow up and I realize.. fruit snacks actually are.

>>150756462
just sayin. i don't know anyone healthy anymore, the only delineator is either you get assistance or you don't

Hey Funnie, you're a real fag, you know that? I've seen this thread five thousand times! Why don't you get some new material, you loser! Aha, ha-ha-ha-HAAAAA, hah-hah-ho!

>>150756543
Ah Roger, butt out, would ya?

>>150756440
I had a kid who was always talking shit in 4th grade. Hated each other, then we became good friends until 7th grade. Then we hated each other again. Then I still ended up going to his birthday party in like 8th grade.

His home life was sad, poor with divorced parents, so looking back as an adult I just feel bad and think maybe I was a bit of a dick to him by responding back so harshly. His mom sort of made him hang out with me because he didn't have many friends, so he came to my house sometimes too. Hope he's doing alright now, last anybody at our school saw him in high school he was talking to a cop. Maybe he ended up in prison.

>>150756543
STOP FUCKING MY SISTER ROGER!!

>>150756611
i was so disappointed to see one of my childhood friends ended up in prison
then again one of my first set of stepbrothers is a successful lawyer now. good for him.

Despite knowing that /co/ is widely considered the most retarded board on the site, (You) guys still manage to amaze me.
First and foremost, any analysis of Doug must take into consideration that he is 11. Of course an 11-year old will act stupidly, of course an 11-year old will think something is a bigger deal than it really is, of course an 11-year old will sometimes overreact to things. He's 11. He doesn't understand why things are the way they are and won't understand until he's older. Any interpretation that doesn't account for this and treats him like an adult should be regarded as utterly retarded.
Doug is also not a social satire. You aren't meant to laugh at Doug or look down upon him, the target audience was meant to see him at their level and view him as "an average kid". There's a couple writer's bibles online for the series that lay this out; Doug is an average boy who like most kids his age is very impressionable and has his regular ups-and-downs. He's not a jock, he's not cool, he's not lame, and he's not a nerd. It's not meant to be laugh-out-loud funny or outrageous, it's meant to be quaint, or in the writers' words, "quirky".

>>150756875
>11
Doug was in high school, idiot

>>150756904
How the fuck did you think Doug was in high school

>>150756875
yeah but
other characters on the show don't have Doug's problems..
>You aren't meant to laugh at Doug or look down upon him
fucking thank you
>the target audience was meant to see him at their level and view him as "an average kid"
gotta admit, as a smart kid, I did find it hard to relate to all these "ohnoes I might get an F!" types, given how fucking easy it was to ace everything in public school. Hell, at one school, they just put all the requisite facts up on the overhead projector before each test for like 15 minutes so you could burn them into your retinas

>>150756934
>other characters on the show don't have Doug's problems..
To be fair the series is from Doug's perspective, it's Doug retelling the events as he saw them in his journal. They probably do have the same fears, overreactions, misinterpretations, etc as Doug, but the show's not called Skeeter.

>>150756957
fair. at the very least, we can agree that Doug perceives others as lacking his anxieties. which... is interesting, because it means he's not swayed by peer pressure, since you can be pressured into calmness too.

>>150757004
>Doug perceives others as lacking his anxieties.
This is a very real point
Especially when you're a kid, you don't think anyone is going through the same things you are, you look at them and think "he's doing much better than me, he doesn't have the same problems as me, why can't I be like him?" when in reality they're probably dealing with things you don't know about or having the same thoughts about you. The issues in Doug were mostly pulled from the writers' own experiences, this was one of the things the writer's bible explicitly recommended. They're not uniquely "Doug" problems, other kids in Bluffington likely have the same issues, and real kids definitely have had the same worries Doug had. It's like Styx's Grand Illusion, you think the other guy's got it made but deep inside we're all the same
Honk honk

>>150757089
now that is one thing I didn't have a scrap of as a kid. I guess I had really good parents. Maybe because they shared all of their insecurities with me, and all the mistakes they made when they were my age, so I was confident that I must be avoiding most people's problems.

>>150756957
>>150757004
>>150757089
The show played with this in a late episode where Doug got invited to a pool party and was filled with anxiety over exposing his body...only to find out everyone clearly felt the same way as they were all too chicken to strip down to their swimsuits and get in the water. This actually made him MORE confident and he was the first one to just jump in, causing a domino effect.

>>150756875
>Of course an 11-year old will act stupidly
Acting stupid and acting retarded are not the same thing. Literally everyone else on the show can understand things. Doug has a nigh psychotic episode because he had to throw out his old sneakers.

>>150757145
OHhhh yeahh! I forgot about that!
I recall being like
>god dammit Doug, going swimming is no big deal, but that "Look, I'm Ronald Weisenheimer!" bit would get me MERCILESSLY mocked and/or looked at like I was a fucking alien for trying to do a 'bit'
but instead they all followed suit. that was great. Thanks for reminding me.

>>150757176
Doug has textbook separation anxiety. That's no big deal.
Plus, he was feeling uh.. not guilt, but a similar thing.. because he'd been peer pressured into buying the hip cool shoes. I don't think it was so much going nuts over throwing his old shoes out, as feeling like he was going down a bad path if he was this easily swayed into abandoning what he previously liked just to be cool.

>>150755120
She is kinda hot though.

>>150757374
a little
i bet her mom is the lady who lost all that money Doug found

>>150755445
Even when I was in elementary school, watching Doug as the target demographic, all the other kids at school thought it was weird and Doug was wimpy. I think it's just an autobiographical show about having autism and having no idea what the fuck is going on in any social situation

>>150757545
if anything doug has the extreme opposite of autism. he understands feelings only too well, and has a functioning imagination instead of getting stuck on the same thing.
i'm sorry you went to a shitty school, I too ended up in those, but they didn't start bashing you for liking cartoons until double digits.

which is then turned into an excuse by liberal retards to call literally anyone who has ever disagreed with them on anything a russian bot. you are aware of this point though and are being disingenuous

>>150772669
yes, that's part of the psyop. they've been trying to suggest we are somehow on the russians' side, despite.. you know. the entire last 80 years of history.
just stop talking about this, you're not qualified and it's off-topic. talk about Doug. that show was great. remember Yakistonia? Yakistonia is like, in my top 3 favorite fictional countries.

>>150772669
>>150772694
no one wants to be russia or china
just don't need government thugs stomping on our necks

Was Roger even a bully? Didn't he just become an acquaintance, as the show went on?

>>150772765
he was a very low-stakes bully.

>>150772765
He was just an annoying asshole that nobody liked.

>>150772765
The worst thing he ever did was take Connie's hat off when she had a bad haircut and after that she punched him and he slunk off like a bitch.

>>150772765
Roger's interesting
Doug, being an 11 year old, considers him Satan incarnate. I was rewatching the one where someone took Beebe's radio and the first person Doug suspects is obviously Roger — until Skeeter reminds him Roger was in the principal's office when it disappeared
Roger's not really a bully though, he's just an asshole. The writer's guides specifically note that he always chickens out before doing anything really bad. In the Nick series, he's also a probably retarded poor kid living in a trailer park with his divorced mother, his dad never appears in the Nick seasons but he's shown in the Disney seasons to be a rodeo clown who moved to Bloatsburg after divorcing his mom
He acts out because he's insecure and is probably destined to overdose in a ditch when he's in his 20s, it's quite sad really
Note that Roger is 13 rather than 11-12 like the rest of the cast. I assume they said he was held back once
In a way it was a little dumb to make him rich in the Disney seasons given his background but I guess it made for some funny stories

>>150773586
The original pitch bible gives a very interesting description for Roger: a bit was changed like his dad but it mostly stayed consistent
>Roger Klotz, age 13, lives in Fat Jack’s Trailer Park with his father Harry and Stinky the cat. Harry has the reputation around town of being a trouble maker and not being able to hold down a job. These reports are greatly exaggerated and now make it almost impossible for Harry to get a break. Roger overcompensates for their misfortune by bullying his classmates at school. Actually Roger is pretty harmless and has the same needs for acceptance as anyone. He is a rebel without a clue. He would like to cultivate a good friendship with a guy like Doug, but doesn’t know how. Initially, Roger will serve as the classic antagonist. In time, Roger should be more completely developed to reveal other sides of his personality.

>>150773142
it was funny looking back at that as a teenager and realizing Roger was just trying to make the party more fun. For god's sake, you're only an adolescent once.
>>150773586
>13
jesus, so he was held back at least once, if not twice.
>>150773820
whoa, so they had that planned out.

>>150773586
>Roger likes Bluffscouts
Well that just completely tanks his bully cred right there.

>>150773935
You've never been a scout. There's all sorts of hierarchy shit there that's just prime for bullying. Plus you get to go camping.

>>150773935
ehh he's a high ranking scout, he's practically troop leader. the dynamic changes a LOT once you have a semblance of authority. Like, being a dancer isn't 'cool' in any way, but being a -choreographer- is.

>>150773953
>being a dancer isn't 'cool' in any way, but being a -choreographer- is.
I would have picked a different example
Isn't being a choreographer pretty gay even with that much authority?

>>150774050
Not to the people you're authorizing over. Which is the key point in all of this. It's about finding whatever pond and being the big fish. Anyone outside doesn't matter.

>>150774050
yeah but the kind of gay where nobody's gonna give you shit because they know you're used to giving people painful orders. Iunno, I could have thought of a better example for sure.

>>150772122
I'll gladly take Jim Varney back over Larry the Cable Guy

>>150774221
aw Larry's not so bad. but yes. Jim Varney was a motherfucking one of a kind.
And while he wasn't able to knock the cigs (no shock, with his active kinda comedy, nicotine withdrawal would be a career-ender like a fucking horse breaking a leg), he DID make sure no kid ever saw him smoking.
Apparently Steve Burns had a kid recognize him while he was smoking, and that got him to quit.

>>150773586
Roger is a boyscout and likes being one. That tells you everything about him. He is basically Doug mean older brother.

Boy Scouts is great for bullies. You can easily establish dominance with a little bit of raping. They ain't gonna do shit.

>>150753635 (OP)
Roger wasn't even really a bully. He was more or less Doug's friend, and Doug only saw him as a bully because he picked on him. The only bully thing Roger ever did was the nematode thing in the pilot episode

>>150774340
ah, the Canteen Boy technique
>>150774292
it's really a shame they wouldn't give Billy West more money.. or hell, the same amount he got before. he was such a huge part of that show.. every other TV show Doug would watch, it'd be Billy doing some funny announcer voice

>>150774536
Funny that Billy West took over Ren's voice when Nick kicked him off of the show

VERY EXPENSIVE

>>150774555
yeah I've heard him talk about that in an interview, but I forget what he said. He seems like a swell guy with no animosity toward anybody. except the lord. He really needs to make his peace with that guy pretty damn soon because there's no way he's got tons of years left.

>>150754936
can someone explain why i'm incapable of getting sick of this song?
I put on an endless loop while drawing, just to see how long it would take for me to wanna change it, and i fucking never did.

>>150754239
Absolutely.

>>150775382
i dont remember doug ever going up to randos and just talking to them like he'd just assume they're interested in what he wants to talk about. shit, if anything he was TOO socially aware. Just.. often he was socially aware of things he just -imagined- people would think. that's basically a total 180 extreme from autism.

>>150753719
This is why pattie never found doug attractive, He was a pussy ass punk nigga with no backbone

There was this dub of doug i saw on youtube as a kid i could never find again. One of the episode where he breaks dink's grill that was just full of swearing and sex jokes. Wish i could find it again but it's awash in a sea of similar videos.

>>150773875

>>150753635 (OP)
Why does he do it?

>>150755297
Yeah the show really gave an impression that they were high school students age (8/9th) grade when they were actually 5th

>>150773953
Was Roger shown as a competent leader, or was he the "little black book of demerits" kind of leader?

>>150776263
it's cute that this school does a graduation ceremony for elementary
my 3rd trade did that but we just made paper hats. some bullies smashed mine and then repeatedly footswept me, something I have trouble defending against

the principal said they would get the help they need.

I wonder if I should re-watch Doug after all these years.

Him being 13 makes his crush on Judy more normal, she's only a few years older than him.

>>150781501
i rewatched it a couple years back, definitely holds up. I kinda feel like watching again now.

>>150781909
eh, it was the 90s. plus Judy didn't take him seriously at all.

>>150755708
>Does that sound like something a conservative state would have in its schools?
NTA but yeah, actually. In my k-12 experience I met a lot of teachers and principles who thought they were "good with kids" while actually being annoying meddlers - they'd be all condescending smiles and "now now, remember to be nice" until you talked back, at which point they would immediately get mad and try to shout you down. Every one of them was more conservative.

Admittedly some of them were hippies, but hippies - ESPECIALLY ones who anachronistically cling to the aesthetics of the 60s-70s - are often really right-wing underneath the aesthetics. As an adult I had a conversation with an old guy with dreadlocks and a tie-die shirt once where he asked me where I was going, then said "oooh, be careful. Lot of black people over there.".

>>150781909
I figured Julie was community college level.

Makes sense for a young teen to have an infatuation though

>>150784752
>[s]he asked me where I was going, then said "oooh, be careful. Lot of black people over there."

>>150784752
NTA but the other but yeah not sure what your state was, but that sounds about right for the covert hick dick-of-the-USA ones. Preach being nice and Golden Rule, but they could be tyrants and even trying to tell your parents would get you laughed at when they'd believe the educator's fake persona.

they did an okay job portraying Roger as more than just a bully at times
one of the only episodes I actually remember showed he's a legitimately skilled artist, even better than Doug, but Doug spends the whole episode acting like he wouldn't know what to do

>>150784816
She's 16 apparently. Makes sense with her learning to drive and stuff like that.

>>150781909
Judy could had been 15/16 so the gap isn't an issue with Roger being 13.

>>150784752

that has ALWAYS been the left that's racist. always. it's the Farm and Labor party for a reason.

she goes to a weird performing arts school, but it's a high school. Those do exist. I'm simultaneously glad I didn't go to one (as I'm sure I would have ended up a kook) and disappointed (since that's the only place my talents lie). same for art school.

>>150753660
Not really

>>150753660
Doug is to normal to waste his life on inceldom. He would sooner stoop to joining the military after high school if he didn't get his ducks in a row. Beside, Doug has friends. More than enough to keep him from going schizo-psychosis from ruminating about every bad interaction he had with Patti or with anyone he fears of looking like a goof in front of.

If you watch the show, he has way to may wins under his social belt to turn incel. Incels never do anything and blame everyone for it.

From what I recall Roger felt far less antagonistic towards Doug as the series progressed and that's before entering the Disney era.

>>150755708
Yes.

The public school system is more unified on this stuff then it seems with the only difference being the school's choice on how to handle it.

>>150793965
i see one from august 2025. first result on the goog.
>>150794029
that's kind of my point. all public schools are "blue" if you're going to use that idiotic reshuffling of the political colors by the media 25 years ago. I would call them red.

>>150781909

Judy went to get her license in a Nick episode and was a senior towards the end of the Disney run. She also went to a dance or Prom in the Nick episodes which was probably her junior year.

So she was 16-17 during the show.

>>150809719
weird how it gives an episodic premise continuity

>>150809734
I loved the episode where he's trying to be a tough guy, and Doug finds a way out of it
Doug's dad's message sounds kind of wimpy, but it is technically in line with Sun Tzu. If you're fighting, you have no other ideas left. Doesn't mean it's always the wrong thing to do, just that it's always the last resort.

>>150809912
His message being if you can walk away from a fight you don't want no part of then you should do it. Obviously Doug had no intention of wanting to fight Larry. It was a big misunderstanding and Larry was just ready to throw hands to not look like a wimp. Larry wasn't going to listen to any of it, and wanted to save face. Even if he lost, Doug still looked like the bad guy.

>>150756934
Wasn't the pool episode literally about how every other kid was self-conscious about wearing a bathing suit exactly like Doug was?

Weird how this show had realistic reactions to getting punched in the gut

No. According to the creator he eventually gets with a girl he complains to about how patty ignored him. I think her fat friend?

>>150810259
I loved that scene. It felt so real. LOL

Doug really missed the boat on Connie. She was a sweat girl, and wasn't a push over. I like to think Doug and Connie eventually reconciled and later got together.

>>150810410
>She was a sweat girl
She was a sweet* girl

>>150810402
I seem to remember him saying that, but also at one point the idea of a Doug Kids show was being floated. If that had been made Doug and Patti would've gotten together and had two kids.

>>150810490
...wait...if Doug and Patti got together...why are their kids blue and purple? Were they implying...also that pic seemingly shows Judy as a lesbo?

>>150810586
>>150810689
No dimwit. They are blue and purple. Meaning they might be Skeeter's and Bebe's as they are Blue and Purple. Doug more than likely is a guidance counselor or a teacher.

>>150810193
yeah that has been brought up already and that is a good point. for once, he was really on the same page with everyone.

He talks about Doug marrying Patti and how the two kids are theirs (Yancy and Doug Jr.) in this video when discussing the potential Doug Kids show that never happened.

>>150810952
So they just made them their kids blue and purple to by-pass the racial undertones of technicolor Bloomington citizens besides Doug, and his immediate family. Which if I remember his Mother was Pink.

>>150811016
Yeah basically

>>150810952
omg I forgotten all about DIRTBIKE
fuck the Disney episodes were still canon

>>150803901
If I remember, him getting upset about his cat was the first time he seriously dropped the tough guy act and started crying in front of Doug.

I liked the episode with The Abnormal.

>>150811016
yeah his mom was pink and his dad was orange, but to me.. Iunno, blue and purple feel like they don't fit.

>Cleopatra Dirtbike, Judy is not a dyke
thank fuckin god.
>>150811283
he did that even before the cat got sick, when he was entrusting 'him' with Doug. That was amazing.

>>150811695
I doublechecked his grandparents' color. His parents' moms are both the same color as them, though what's hilarious is Theda's mom is still called 'Grandma Funnie' which means.. maybe they happened to have the same name, or else someone goofed.
>>150811653
a rare cartoon lesson. At the time, we were inundated with "oh if you watch scary movies it'll scar you for life!" and meanwhile this show is like "naw it's just fuckin costumes, sometimes they're not even convincing"
another neat one was Doug's dad trying to strike out on his own instead of working at the mall, and ultimately failing and going back. How often did TV acknowledge that business is hard and it's a lot easier to just work for the man?

>>150811695
>his mom was pink and his dad was orange
Wait, are Doug and Judy's typical cartoon white coloration supposed to just be a mix of pink and orange?

>>150812199
Doug is not skin stone, just pink.

>>150812232
i'd say he's the skin tone of an irishman. very little melanin
but yeah generally people are the same color as their families on this show, even husbands and wives are usually in the same range, so.. hmm

>>150812232
>Doug is not skin stone

>>150812302
Pink is not a skin tone, it's a color.

>>150812362
read it again

>>150811732
>he did that even before the cat got sick, when he was entrusting 'him' with Doug. That was amazing
I just remember him dropping a list of stuff his cat likes and what she shouldn't eat before he gave a sincere "I'm counting on you not fucking this up" before he and his mom went out of town, then crying when he rushed to the vet after Doug said that his cat was sick.

>>150812397

>>150812199
The reason the characters had an interesting shades was because the Jim and other guy were working on the Doug pitch before meeting the Nick producers. They got drunk and colored the characters all sorts of odd skin tones. When he was sober the next day, he saw them and thought they didn't look bad. So Jim pitched the show with skin tones as is.

>>150753719
There were several episodes that made it clear that Roger considered Doug a friend but was just awkward about showing it.
When he and his mom were taking a trip out of town one weekend, Doug was the only person he trusted to watch after his cat, even over his own gang.
There's another episode where everyone is avoiding Doug because they say they have to do something with Roger, and of course Doug has a fantasy about how Roger is hypnotizing all of his friends to hate him. It turns out that Roger was actually organizing a secret party for Doug to celebrate him being in town for a year, and the other characters state that the whole thing was entirely Roger's idea.
And the end of the Nick series they have a bonding moment where Roger confesses to Doug that he's scared about moving to the next grade because he's been held back twice already, and they both bond of their anxiousness for the future.
Then in the Disney series they're pretty much friends who shit talk each other occasionally and Doug is way more comfortable clapping back at Roger, which is actually a nice change.

>>150755163
At this point, it seem more a meme than a fact.

>>150754035
>pic
What thread was that from?

>>150817565
The whole story about him reuniting with the girl who Patti was based off of and finding out she was married is true. However, her husband was just some dude he had never met before and people started saying it was "Roger" to add more salt to the wound.

>>150817531
The Disney series is shit on a lot. Is it worth watching?

>>150773586
>>150773820
Changing Roger's divorced single parents from a father to a mother is a good move. Without a male role model and self-conscious about being older than the other kids in his grade due to being held back, he tries to act tough and manly to earn respect and bungles it.

If Roger was 13, were his "gang" also that age? Were they friends when Roger was doing his first run through sixth grade?

zomg torrent plox!!!

>>150818018
I've watched a few episodes recently and they were ok. I really think people exaggerate how bad it is and I actually think some of the changes work in the show's favor.
I guess the biggest complaint is that the overall show feels way more "cartoony" if that makes sense. I wouldn't say Nick Doug was "realistic" but the plotlines were a bit more grounded and most of the crazier stuff was limited to Doug overblowing things in his imagination. It also felt more relatable if you had experiences with anxiety or were just socially awkward like Doug was. The situations in the Disney version are way more over the top though and more focused on being a cartoon rather than Doug giving a lesson about how you shouldn't worry about certain things etc.
But again, I do think some of the changes work really well in the Disney series.
>Doug is way more confident and meshes with his friends a lot more. There are still misunderstandings, but it's clear that he trusts them a lot more and is more comfortable around them, which makes sense since he isn't the new kid anymore and has been with them for over a year
>Doug isn't a complete pushover anymore and can actually be kind of a smart ass at times, which feels like good "development"
>Patti is actually given a personality and isn't just the girl Doug idolizes. He still has a crush on her but there are multiple episodes where he realizes that she isn't the perfect girl he worshipped
>Roger becoming rich is actually a funny plot point especially because there's a lot of times where he trolls the fuck out of Bebe
>Several episodes that flesh out the bond between Doug and Judy more. Disney Judy just feels all around more tolerable too, but I guess the joke in the original is that she was supposed to be kind of an insufferable beatnik
Among other stuff. I don't know which series I like better, but the Disney one isn't as bad as people make it out to be.

>>150817531
>Doug was the only person he trusted to watch after his cat, even over his own gang.
Yeah but in that episode, he was also aggressively guilt tripping doug and was using him as a rube to pawn of his shit ass cat on.
That one's still way more of Roger being a dick than actually being a friend in anyway.

>>150818635
>using him as a rube to pawn of his shit ass cat on
He seems to care way too much about his cat to not choose someone he thought would do it right.

>>150818655
Okay, that makes him a great friend to his cat then.
Where do Doug's feelings come into this though?

>>150818959
Roger's an awkward boy who didn't know how to properly ask for help with something he cared about deeply and Doug's a worrywart who accepted out of fear instead of appreciating the (badly-communicated) intent behind Roger's actions.

>>150819221

This EXACT thread has been posted before. It's either some obsessed zoomer, or a bot.

it's okay to make another thread if the old one didn't take

Look up Tenn Buick's interview with Jim Jinkins. On facebook he wrote "the creator of doug, jim jinkins, shared an interesting perspective with me about the character of roger klotz. the depth and development of the characters was one of my favorite things about this show. what do you think - was roger a bully?"

He said Roger wasn't a complete bully; he was part of the gang. Roger was based off of an older kid who used to bully Jim Jinkins. Jim said he later called him up and the guy apologized. He explained that he was also being bullied and took it out on Jim. The guy became some head of some important company, maybe something to do with nuclear research? I think that's why they made Roger rich in the disney version.

>>150753635 (OP)
I always wanted Roger to end up fucking Doug's beatnik sister so well she becomes normal again.

>>150753679
He has a funny interview where someone asks him if in his mind Doug and patty end up together. He m talks about patty being a stand in for his oneitis and then in his late 20s or 30s or something he hears from her again, she invites him to have dinner at her apartment so he gets all excited running fantasies in his head, and then when he gets there she introduces him to her husband.

>>150820284
That's really sad, it's hard for me to process someone having a successful cartoon like this and still be just as hopeless as the rest of us.
Though slightly funny because that entire sequence reads like a Doug episode.

>>150820284
Am I wrong for thinking she was a bitch for that?

>>150820499
Without context I wouldn't call her a bitch. We don't know how they came into contact or why, and Doug-Creator is kind of stupid for not at least asking basic human being questions like "Is anyone else joining us?" etc.
IRL-Patty has her own life and likely never thought this splerg was even into her.

>>150819949
>that's the point. he's not good at this shit yet.
Other kids younger than him seemed to understand just fine.

>>150820686
Roger's slightly retarded; that's why he was in sixth-grade for three years.

I found an old MEGA for Nick Doug that's still up but the given password doesn't seem to work!?

So do Doug and Patty end up together or is it a Wonder Years situation where Doug or Patty get married off screen and everyone just accepts it.

>>150754451
>>150817598

It's bad.

>>150820284
poor guy

>>150820499
we want girls to be like Patti, to be comfortable talking with their male friends about their boobs
we just also want there to be enough girls to go around. Girls make up 51% of the population, yet maybe a tenth of them are actually interested in dating and marrying men, so that's a prob
>>150820686
when did any of the other kids ever have something as serious in their lives as needing a catsitter?

>>150753836
>Doug Faster

Any version of the story where Doug and Patty get together completely misses the point.

>>150823002
Patti is flat.

>>150823083
yep that's why she was so excited she finally got boobs.
>>150823050
you completely miss the point!
she might seem like his dream girl, but in reality she's actually totally in his league. He's a lot more cerebral than she is, but they both get nervous and awkward at times, so they're great.

>>150824185
>she was so excited she finally got boobs.
Did this happen in the Disney seasons I never saw them.

>>150790235
Too.

>>150814771
Well I have to give it to /co/ for getting this far into a thread without any Doger posting

Where the hell did Doug find Patti's clothes?

>>150824774
Porkchop probably made that outfit.

>>150810490
>Doug got cucked by Skeeter
oh nonononono bros...

>>150810490
Did Roger marry Bebe? A funny play on him repeatedly mocking her in the Disney seasons I guess.

Guess she got fat. And he got so bald.

>>150824214
naw, real-life Patti.
>>150825975
I got the impression Skeeter did, but either way one of them ended up single which is sad.

Shit, what if Roger hooks up with Cleopatra? My son in law is that much older than my daughter. Shit works. Plus he's really immature, so

Durrr. You know there are Reset buttons like that on a lot of devices?

>>150753635 (OP)
Roger just gave Doug a hard time because Doug is a faggot who needed to man up. Dumb faggot had fantasies of wearing his underwear on the outside. He needed to be bullied. Doug would habe likely been a far worse person overall if Roger didnt look out for him. Roger also protected Doug by essentially being his bitch. The bigger bullies who would likely beat the acrualy life out of Doug for being a faggot dont because Roger already has it handled. In the future Roger and Doug will be business partners with high equity in multiple Billion dollar companies or some shit.

This scene was how I learned the phrase "chicken scratch" to refer to someone's shitty handwriting kek

>>150821882
>I don't even remember the rest of the evening.

Fucking kek, that's rough.

>>150829285
you know, it was probably mine, too.
this show came out when I was fuckin.. four. and it was on sunday so I had to miss it for church until they moved it.

>>150821882
Why would you ever admit this story in public

>>150820499
Normally fuck women, but she really wasn't in the wrong here. They hadn't been in contact for years and this was before Doug was actually airing so I don't think she even knew Patti was based on her or was only trying to get together because he was "famous". It was just one of those "oh hey turns out we live pretty close to each other and should meet up" kind of things.
He's the weird one for going over with expectations in his head and thinking she was inviting him over to bang even though they hadn't talked in years.

Disney Roger was great because like someone else said half of his time was just spent fucking with Bebe and intentionally pissing her off. The other half was him trying various schemes to get even richer because he suddenly thought he was a savvy businessman but he was still a dumbass. The gag with his father being a "clown" also had a genuinely funny reveal
>every time someone brings up Roger's dad he says he's a clown that lives in Bloatsburg
>they apologize and it gets awkward because they know his parents are divorced and they think Roger is calling him a clown as an insult
>there's even a flashback when he was younger where his dad is called a clown
>turns out that his dad actually works as a clown and the two have a good relationship

>>150829748
he's not being weird, women in general are being weird. which makes her normal behavior seem overly exciting.
Women need to learn that their enemy isn't men, it's frumpy women who put words in the regular women's mouths by way of the frumps' silence, if you get what I mean.

I remember losing my shit laughing at the scene when Doug reveals that his closet literally just has the same exact outfit hanging up for every day of the week. Top tier meta joke to me as a kid

>>150829897
yeah I was a little young to realize why that was funny, but old enough to be frustrated that nobody believed him.
does Doug seem like the kinda kid whose parents would buy him that many trendy outfits RECENTLY?
yknow the more I think about it, maybe the reason Roger so likes Doug (in his own way) is that Doug's the second poorest kid in Bluffington.

Their basically like diary for boys, right?

>>150824774
Find?

>>150820499
She had no way, absolute NO WAY of knowing what a creepy infatuation he had for her. To her this was just a normal social interaction. She was just being nice like she would've been to anyone.

>>150830951
Memories of someone on Tumblr telling people in their inboxes to tag "diary" as a "gendered slur" because it was shaming and gendering a personal notebook for girls.
They were actually serious.

>>150832529
Tumblr moment

>>150821882
That’s so sad and heartbreaking. How’s the guy doing these days?

>>150820499
Women are bitches by nature without the context of their actions towards men. Whether being genuinely ignorant in how they lead some men in their lives on or not. It was not her fault he fantasizes about events that did not happen yet, nor was it her fault he ruminates on what is his reality. Constructing resentment feelings she had no hand in doing besides trying to reconnect to old friends.

Idle thoughts is humanity's devil.

>>150753635 (OP)
Who are these two?

>>150753660
Why does everyone online view Doug as either a school shooter or Chris Chan, people HATE this kid dude

>>150834881
Yeah, it's weird. Doug has friends and has no problems socializing. He just over thinks things due to being 11 years old.

>>150830951
that is one of those things yeah

>>150832415

Roger just skimmed the thing to look for anything on Judy. Didn’t find anything good and that’s why he’s pissed.

What was the episode where he imagined himself and Judy as jacked Schwarzenegger parodies?

/co/ is fast today..

>>150836746
i dont remember judy being involved in the swimsuit one so it must have been another

>>150832415
>She had no way, absolute NO WAY of knowing what a creepy infatuation he had for her.
I'm sorry, but students being infatuated with their teachers happen, and is very common. It is a reality you live with, and should understand it to be normal. Socially you understand that, and realize teens will fall in love very easy and as you get older you value more important things that form a loving connection. Like trust, endearment, reliability, and loyalty.

To keep those things you'll need to learn valuable relationship and life skills. Such as compromising, sympathy and most importantly humility.

>>150774262
>he DID make sure no kid ever saw him smoking.
One reason I always liked Weird Al. His songs were hit-or-miss for me, but he made a point never to do shit like beer commercials, since he didn't want young fans to get the wrong impression
Minor, but helps show there was some backbone and care for their image to kids

>>150837867
anon trying to sell logic to a gen Z is like selling spinning wheels to mules.

>>150837930
I mean beer is fine. the issue is people who are too fucking stupid to go "wow, I feel bad after drinking so much... i should drink less next time"
we don't have a problem with people eating so much delicious food that they vomit.. people existed alongside alcohol for thousands of years before the innovation of alcoholism..

Is /co/ familiar with the "very special episode of doug series"
It starts out as a simple shitpost in episode one then has overly elaborate art and animation by episode 5

eBay is full of bootlegs that have very official looking packaging, you never know what the fuck you're getting any more

He's also a devout Christian and refuses to swear in his parodies. I heard that Vivziepop wanted him to voice Lucifer in Hazbin Hotel (the character really does seem written with him in mind) but he probably turned it down due to the subject matter and the constant unnecessary "fuck"s in the dialogue.

>>150841112
huh, i'm surprised i knew the vegetarian part but not the christian part
He does have a very Povenmirian sense of humor, where it's okay to be what might be considered a little edgy to moms, if it's part of classical comedy.

Why were The Beets so good? Didn't Nickelodeon have a bumper or something with the second song?

>>150844378
I think so, I remember it replaying a lot. at the very least, it was used more than once.

>>150844378
I remember Nickelodeon playing Bangin' on a Trash Can as a music video in between shows sometimes and I didn't get the Talking Heads reference at the time.

This looks like the pilot episode. You can tell because it is extra squiggly.

ancient ass thread

>>150753635 (OP)
Roger isnt a bad guy, he just wants Doug to not be a pussy. He obviously likes Doug enough to give him the time of day. Doug is likely a stronger better person because Roger always pushed him to be his best self. Doug would likely be some incel who keeps to himself if Roger didnt get Doug to actually participate in society. He'll the only reason he goes after Patty is because Roger also fancies her and it pushes Doug to come out of his shell more. I wouldnt even be surpised if Roger just fakes it to make Doug not be such a bitch. Doug is lucky he didnt end up with a bully who hates him and viciously beats the shit out of him for being a faggot. If anything Roger's bull aura keeps those people away from Doug because theyd likely have to fight Roger because he has dibs on bullying Doug.

>>150834881
People just exaggerate the fuck out of everything. They have to assign some kind of label or mental illness to people because for some reason they can't comprehend the fact that a person, especially a young person, can be a little weird/awkward without being a full blown autist or a school shooter in the making.

>>150838146
>we don't have a problem with people eating so much delicious food that they vomit..
No, we have a problem with people eating so much delicious food that they become obese. Vomiting some of it up would be an improvement.
Horrible comparison overall.
