Adam lambert better than i know myself acapella christmas. Adam Lambert. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. We were less of a band back then, more of an acapella group. Christmas Albums Oldies Mp3. 18031Acapella Kelis. Blinded By The Lights Acapella. There were probably lots of people who don't know.

The main characters as they appeared during the Nickelodeon era. Note Bottom left: Judy Funnie. Middle row, L-R: Tippy Dink, Bud Dink, Doug Funnie, Porkchop (Doug's pet dog), Patti Mayonnaise, Stinky (Roger's pet cat), Skeeter Valentine. Top: Roger Klotz. Dear journal. One of the first three original, featuring eleven-year-old Doug Funnie and his experiences with his friends, family and community.

Creator Jim Jinkins developed the concept and drew inspiration from his own experiences growing up. Beginning with Doug's arrival in Bluffington, he dutifully writes about his every adventure in his journal, which frames almost every episode. In the first episode, he gained a best friend in Mosquito 'Skeeter' Valentine, a nemesis and school bully Roger Klotz, and a love interest in the Patti Mayonnaise. His dog Porkchop frequently steals the show with his antics, not unlike.

Many other colourful characters (both literally and figuratively) were featured. In many episodes, Doug pretends to be one of his personal superheroes to solve the problem; the methods the hero uses are adapted to fit a real-life situation. For example, one episode has the vice principal Mr. Bone refusing to have a popular rock band play at their school; he considers it heathen entertainment.

Doug pretends to be Quailman dealing with the strict alien robots called Robo-Bones. When Quailman couldn't overpower the robots, they turned on him with horrible yodeling (Mr. Bone was part of a yodeling quartet). Quailman ended up saving the day by suggesting that they sing in key and form a band, which made everyone happy.

Doug learned that, instead of fighting Mr. Bone, they should make a compromise. He suggested Mr. Bone's yodeling group to open for the rock band, figuring that the student body suffering for five minutes was worth it. Those imaginary characters were to other heroes in pop culture. Smash Adams was, Race Canyon was, and Quailman had some resemblance to. Skeeter once revealed his personal superhero as Silver Skeeter, obviously based on the.

This show breaks away from the borderline- of other shows, even getting a at a time when the network prized being able to not pay attention to airing order. After its initial run, the show was bought and by Disney into (or Disney's Doug as it was retitled for later episodes and reruns) for (which Disney had just bought out); starting in 1997, it became one of the focal points of the new block. It wound up changing a few things from the Nickelodeon version (the first episode even addresses this with the new changes of Doug's life) with many characters getting new looks and various supporting characters changing jobs and roles. Despite the changes, it was still a continuation of the original series, and ended up with a longer run than the original. Like the Nickelodeon version, it also concluded with a (something very few Disney cartoons have managed). A theatrical film, accurately (and ) titled was released in 1999.

It also got its own stage show at Disney-MGM Studios,, which ran from 1999-2001. Nickelodeon's Doug is now in reruns on. You can also find the complete Nickelodeon series, though there's no word of a DVD release for the Disney produced series or of any sort of reboot - according to Jim Jinkins, Disney still holds the rights to the series and has not expressed any interest in reviving the franchise. Nevertheless, Jinkins says he has more stories to tell if a revival is ever green-lighted, complete with bombshells for longtime fans. Not to be confused with the series. •: Aside from the fact that the show debuted early in the decade, most of the clothing and technology in the show definitely represent the decade. Nevertheless, the themes still ring true.

•: • Chalky Studebaker was the star athlete of every athletic team, and was the swim team. Deconstructed when Doug learned that he has insecurities about having to be the best at everything due to constantly being compared to his even more overachieving older brother, including when Chalky cheated off of Doug during an exam. • Silver Skeeter was this in his first appearance, much to the annoyance of Doug • Patti has her moments, getting irritated at one point that Doug is beating her at several games. •: The entire premise of the episode 'Doug's a Genius': Porkchop knocks over Doug's easel while chasing a raccoon and gets paw prints in paint all over the canvas, and Doug's art teacher, Ms. Perrigrew, thinks it's a brilliant work of art, hails Doug as a genius and enters it in an exhibit for local artists.

When Doug tries to explain, Ms. Perrigrew even thinks 'Porkchop' is the name of the 'painting.' •: Doug becomes field goal kicker of the football team. •: by Patti in the later Quailman comics who keeps pronouncing Guy Graham/Rupert Schmupert's last name the French way which he keeps correcting.

•: Attempted by Roger 'Doug's Secret of Success' to escape detention. Turns out all the airvents lead directly to Mr.

Bone's office for this exact reason. •: Both Doug and Skeeter. •: Most (if not all) of the episodes had one. The writers were even expected to write the intended moral of the episode at the top of each outline. The show got E/I branding ('Illuminating Television', as ABC called it) during the Disney run. Doug himself usually voices the moral via voiceover as he writes in his journal at the end of each episode, although it was still usually done in a non- way, especially in earlier episodes when Doug struggled to come up with the right words to voice the moral, adding additional humor.

•: • One episode has Larry, due to a misunderstanding, starting a fight with Doug, which Doug surprisingly wins (after actually taking a punch). Doug's dad overhears Skeeter talking Doug up, then Dad scolds Doug and turns the episode into, even in self-defense. Note It should be noted that not only did Doug take the punch, he wasn't even very hurt by it, showing that Larry was pretty weak to begin with. While Doug did hit back in retaliation, it's easy to make him come off as the bad guy because he actually is bigger and stronger than Larry. Then, near the end of the (Nick) series, hits by laughing after exposing her and gets with no repercussions, just everyone Yes, Roger's an undeniable, but it also leads to the other issue of. • In 'Doug Saves Roger', Roger begs Doug to convince Mr.

Bones' nephew Percy to stop bullying him, even saying that he'll never bully Doug again. Doug does so, but now Percy wants to beat up Doug, only for Roger to save Doug. In the end, while acting as a friend, Roger starts to go back on his promise to stop bullying Doug by putting a sign on Doug's back. •: Played straight in the Nickelodeon episode 'Doug's Birthday Present,' to the extent that the Disney series opened with an episode about him turning 12. Since he was 11½ when he moved to Bluffington and lived there during the Nickelodeon birthday episode, the only logical conclusion one could draw is that he had two 12th birthdays!

•: Although Doug's fantasies were usually the result of daydreams, this trope was played straight with Doug on a few occasions. One example is in 'Doug Gets Busted.' •: Several characters, like Beebe Bluff. •: Connie apparently had a crush on Roger in the Disney series. •: Doug gets one with Patti.

•: Doug's parents sometimes fall into this category. • In 'Doug Throws a Party', where they seem to forget how old their son actually is and try to make his party more suited for kids half Doug's age (complete with 'Pin the Tail on the Donkey' and Phil dressing up as a party clown). It doesn't help that Skeeter accidentally brings over a CD of children's songs instead of the Beets CD he'd meant to bring. • Doug fears this will happen in 'Quailman VII: Quail Dad' when Phil takes him to a Beets recording session.

Instead Phil ends up surprising him as he and the Beets quickly hit it off upon discovering they have similar tastes in music, and he impresses them with his. •: White, blue, purple, green?

( says it's been Jim Jinkins's art style ever since he liked to color in his coloring books as a kid.) Makes it all the odder that Doug and Patti's families have more realistic skin tones. Roger's pale yellow skin, while not uncommon in animation, is still playing the trope straight.

• According to his quote in 'Not Just Cartoons: Nicktoons!' , Jinkins did this deliberately as a way to push racial equality. David Campbell added in 'Slimed!' That the idea was to make sure the series could be appreciated by anyone and everyone who watched regardless of their race, ethnicity, station in life etc. •: As outlined by on Cracked, there is a strong possibility that Doug has schizophrenia. •: Although never shown explicitly in the series (the closest it gets to a mention of God is Doug declaring that 'someone up there must like me' when he finds out that Patti didn't get his video tape by mistake in 'Doug's Secret Song'), Jim Jinkins has mentioned in interviews that the Funnie family are churchgoers, and that one would have to look for subtle hints such as the way they're dressed on Sunday afternoons (i.e. Phil in a dress shirt but loosened up) to notice this.

This is another way in which the series reflects the childhood of its creators, as both Jinkins and David Campbell were raised Christian. Nfs Underground 2 Download Completo Pc Iso Torrent. The pair and their production company would later create a more explicitly Christian animated series titled Hoop Dogz. •: Funkytown. •: Eagle-eyed viewers may notice that Doug's phone number, in 'Doug's Runaway Journal,' is listed as Jumbo 1-559 - either an anachronism (telephone numbers like this that began with an exchange name began to be phased out in the late 1950s as all-digit dialing was introduced) or a sign that Bluffington, even by the 1990s, STILL hadn't converted to all-digit dialing. •: Parodied with Quailman. Most commonly (in almost every episode, in fact) in the form of Anxiety Daydreams, but sometimes played straight.

•: When faced with liver and onions in one of his fantasies in 'Doug's Dinner Date.' It's on many street signs, it's Doug's locker number, etc. •: Relatively minor in mostly the animation style, in later episodes the characters are less rubbery. • Brand Spanking New modifies the outfits but is otherwise almost identical. The biggest change is in the musical style, from acapella to more orchestrated.

• There is a quite noticeable evolution in the art between the first and second episodes, though. The pilot features a very wobbly style where the characters' outlines are constantly moving, making the show's world look more surreal and scribble-like (it actually looks closer to Jim Jinkins' original drawings). This effect was toned down severely by the second episode, and is gone entirely by the end of season one. There are even some scenes with frame rates approaching those of anime, some of which may be explained by the participation of a in animation production.

• In addition to being a minor character at first (see below), Connie was purple like Beebe and the Dinks in the first season. In the second season, she becomes green like Chalky and Roger, coinciding with her increased prominence. •: • The Sleech brothers in the Disney series. • Connie only has minor roles in a handful of first season episodes ('Doug's New Shoes', 'Doug Babysits') but becomes a major character in the second season. •: The episode 'Doug Loses Dale' is about Doug babysitting Skeeter's younger brother, Dale.

•: When Doug ends up being a at the Honker Burger (usually it's Mr. •: Doug gets one in 'Doug Tips the Scale'. •: Two, actually. 'Doug Out in Left Field', where Patti forms her own baseball team for the kids who were rejected from the school's team, and 'Doug's On First', where the parents of the kids on Patti's team think it's unfair about what position each player is playing. • Also the B-plot of 'Doug's Big Comeback,' a Disney episode, in which the overly competitive Chalky is pushing his teammates too hard and they rebel by going on strike.

•: Quailman and Dr. Klozenstein engage in this with their Quail Eye and Brain Drain, respectively, in 'Doug is Quailman'. •: 'Doug's in the Money.' Doug returns the money to the old lady, gets a piece of gum for the reward, loses the respect of Roger and some other kids, but gains the respect of Judy, who from that moment on is less of a towards him and more of a. •: Implying that Mr. Bone wears pink underwear, which earns the offender one of his harshest punishments.

Doug and Roger both trick each other into running afoul of this. •: Connie proves this when Roger knocks her hat off at Doug's party and exposes her bad haircut, causing her to •: Skeeter and Beebe would become this to Patti and Doug eventually. •:, though it ended up being Doug's only movie.

•: To an extent, the entire town of Bluffington could qualify if the menu options at the Honkerburger and other local restaurants are any indication (largely consisting of more ways to cook than you ever knew existed). And in 'Doug's Cookin', the pizza Doug and Patti make for a school cooking assignment ends up topped with banana pudding by accident, and everyone thinks it's delicious. In the ending few minutes we see Doug himself eating a banana and dipping it in a can of pizza sauce. •: Everyone except for Skeeter, Porkchop, Stinky, Mrs. Dink, Mayor White, Larry, Coach Spitz, Beebe's mother, Muffy, Brian, and a variety of animals, one-timers, and extras, who are pretty much the only characters to have normal eyes. Given, that is, like, 10 characters. •: In the school photo episode, there's a about people being blinded by the camera and wandering around dizzily.

Skeeter even really gets into it. •: Doug was an average student and an average athlete, but part of the success of the show is that he is socially savvy enough to figure his way out of problems using a more natural intelligence rather than school learned. • Skeeter is something of an aversion, as he's an average student himself in the Nickelodeon version (despite his high intelligence) but mentions that could be because he chokes on tests. In the Disney series, he's one of Ms. Kristal's best students. •: The first and last episodes of the Disney series, 'Doug's Last Birthday' and 'Doug's Marriage Madness', both revolve around big changes in Doug's life. • The Nickelodeon series qualifies as well, as it begins with Doug moving to Bluffington and ends (except for 'Doug's Bad Trip') with his graduation from sixth grade.

•: 'Doug Flies A Kite' features a kite-flying competition, with Doug ignoring his dad's advice to make a simple diamond-shaped one and trying to improve on it. When none of his improvements work, he eventually settles on the regular kite, which then outlasts everyone else's more elaborate designs. •: In 2015, Disney briefly released the Christmas episode, along with the Christmas specials of their other '90s cartoons, on On-Demand services. With that, they cut part of the scene where Doug and his father finally have, in which Doug outright utters the word sex. • and: Several. • One notable example would be that Bluffington has a Worst Eastern hotel. • Also, the (also used in ), and Beebe's laptop is a Beet.

With an interface that looks suspiciously like it's copied from classic Mac OS. • Bonus points for one comic from the Disney era (printed in ) having a literal Brand X, which was the discount version of cool jacket brand Brand A. •: • Judy the drama queen, who thinks that anything involving Doug is a cue to burst into nonsensical hysterics. • And Beebe Bluff in Disney's Doug. A little less so in the Nickelodeon version, in which at least one episode hinted that Beebe's parents spoiled her perhaps a little more than she liked - for example, the ballet episode in which Beebe's mother tried pulling strings to get Beebe the lead role (even though Patti was the best dancer), only to have Beebe blow her audition on purpose because she didn't want the lead.

•: In one early episode, Doug was framed for stealing Mr. Bone's yodeling trophy. He goes to Judy for advice on how to get out of trouble. She suggests pleading insanity. Doug shoots it down explaining that tried that a year earlier and still has to see the guidance councilor everyday as a result. Later on, Doug passes by the guidance councilor's office, and a voice calls out, 'Hey, Doug.'

To which Doug responds, 'Oh. Hey, Skunky.' •: The episode in which Doug ends up in a fight with Larry. The message is of course that violence isn't the way to solve problems.

Except Larry, who was clearly in a rage over being bullied, started the fight with Doug, even though he had nothing to do with it. Doug knocking Larry out should have been called self defense since Larry made the first swing, and hit Doug first.

• In 'Doug Loses Dale' when Doug goes to his friends for babysitting advice, Beebe tells him the best thing to do is to let kids have whatever they want whenever they want it: 'My parents did it to me, and look how well I turned out.' Her next action is to snatch Connie's ice-cream cone right out of her hand and declare it hers. •: Doug and Judy sometimes find themselves in this role, such as when they need to outsmart a strict and annoying babysitter. •: In 'Doug's Pet Capades', Porkchop suggests using ventriloquism for the dog show, using the same dummy he used at the end of 'Doug's No Dummy'.

• When we get a look at a page of Doug's journal in 'Doug's Runaway Journal' (as Roger is explaining he couldn't read it because Doug's handwriting is illegible), we see a drawing of Doug in his slug costume from 'Doug Can't Dance.' • For as many continuity errors as the Disney series had with regard to the Nickelodeon series (and even with regard to itself), it did contain a number of (correct) references to events that took place during the Nick series. For example, in 'Doug's Dougapalooza,' Connie makes reference to the Nick episode 'Doug's Garage Band' with Doug's band that had 17 drummers. •: Doug shows up in the role of the Bloody Head Fairy in the episode 'Haunted House'. This is particularly funny if you consider that was at various times the voice of Doug, Stimpy and Ren. •: Doug always struggles to confess his true feelings to Patti.

•: • Doug: 'How did I get into this mess?' Dink is middle-class, just like Doug's family, but he has enough money to buy whatever he wants, so his favorite things are 'very expensive'. • 'Cool, man!' Escaped Skeeter's lips just as often as 'Honk-honk' did. In fact, Skeeter says it so often that his little brother Dale is starting to pick up on it ('Doug's Big Nose'). • Roger: 'Sayonara, suckers!!!' • Grandma Opal: 'Life's a picnic and I'm starving to death!'

• Roger uses the expression 'Joey Cucamonga' to express shock in only one episode of the Nickelodeon version ('Doug's in the Money'), but in the Disney seasons this was elevated to a catch phrase. • Disney also had the previously Skunky using 'torque' as an interjection. •: Stinky is, at least. •: In Judy's opinion at least, as she states it in 'Doug's Fat Cat.' Porkchop is not amused.

She even goes goo-goo over Stinky (she's never been shown to do the same with Porkchop) and tells Doug about how the ancient Egyptians worshiped cats. •: Doug's favorite comic Man-O-Steel Man is a.

In, a couple of the police officers are having a debate over and. •: In 'Doug Graduates', Doug finds himself in 's office, with the back of the office chair facing him.

Doug nervously asks for Mr. Buttsavich a few times, and the chair spins around to reveal.. • •: The title character, although per Doug is not actually bald - it was just his minimalist way of depicting Doug's hair. Oddly enough, there was an episode where Doug worried that he was going bald. •: Skeeter, so very much. He managed to win over Beebe Bluff, Loretta Laquigley, and many other girls along the way.

• Doug as well, in some of his fantasy sequences. 'Doug's Christmas Story' from the Nickelodeon run and 'Doug's Secret Christmas' from the Disney run. The former is a (and rather infamous among fans) while the latter is much more light-hearted and feels like a typical Christmas Special. •: Doug has a fantasy about this happening. •: Roger is particularly prone to this. •: In the episode 'Doug and the Weird Kids', Doug is paired off with Al and Moo Sleech for a school report where they have to get to know each other. While the Sleech twins investigate Doug's life and habits, they provide him a document containing information about themselves.

However, when it comes to their father, they only provide a heavily redacted profile where the only words visible are 'and', 'but The', 'An', and 'McDonagh.' Doug decides to investigate who their father actually is, and it turns out the twins are ashamed of him because he's a baker and not a scientist like them. •: Judy, when she wasn't being a and/or to Doug. •: Grandma Opal, who rides a motorcycle and eats sushi.

Wingo in the episode 'Doug Meets Robobone' as she appears as excited about the Beets concert as her students are (she dons a Flounder wig and starts playing air guitar right there in class). He's bad enough during the Nickelodeon run, but the Disney episodes and movie have him really running with this. •: Each episode's title card would always vary at the end. In the Nickelodeon series, there were different recurring animations at the end of the title sequence that involve the screen going black in some way (usually Doug or Porkchop turning the light off.) The Disney series then made it so each episode's title card was unique to the episode, usually involving something related to the plot. •: Cleopatra Funnie, Doug's baby sister introduced early in the Disney run. •: Fentruck's holiday celebrations.

•: In this case, the Nickelodeon opening credits featured a line being drawn against a white background and interacting with the main characters in different ways, like Doug first appears as though the line was the bottom of a curtain and Patty tightrope walks across the screen, with the line turning into a heart shaped balloon. Shortly into the episode a standard title card showed Doug would also enter a dark room and turn on the light, revealing his name along with the episodes title being revealed in some fashion, typically via paint with Porkchop filling in the rest. •: The prologue to the episode 'Doug's a Genius' featured a variation of the series opening 'gone horribly wrong.' It was then followed by a typical episode opening featuring Doug and Porkchop. •: A unique aspect to the cartoon is that there was never a consistent credits theme; it was always different, and usually a piece of BGM recycled from the episodes that just played. •: Bill Bluff supposedly is a descendant of Bluffington's founders (although in one episode Doug and Skeeter discover that it's actually the Dinks who may be the town's founding family), and thus owns most of the businesses and services in the city; also, Bluffington Middle School is in the shape of Beebe Bluff's head. •: Patti's role in the Quailman series well into the Disney episodes.

Then, however, she becomes the reporter Miss Mayo who works for the Guy Graham stand-in Rupert Schmupert and who doesn't believe Quailman trying to explain to her that Schmupert is Golden Salmon, and that Golden Salmon is a supervillain. Then she becomes the superheroine Supersport who outclasses Quailman in just about everything he does. • In a number of Doug's fantasies, though, it wasn't only Patti but all of his classmates who needed saving, which would technically make Beebe, Connie, etc. Damsels in distress as well.

Judy has her moments (despite being a ), and while Porkchop can't talk, many of his expressions suggest this. Wingo also has plenty of moments. • Doug can also be this on occasion (especially when he's interacting with Judy). • Even Skeeter got in a few, particularly when creating Silver Skeeter in 'Doug's Comic Collaboration.' 'One second late and it goes on your permanent record!' •: Subverted with Doug's dentist Dr. Kay, but played straight with the Smash Adams' villain Dr.

Doug: ( As Smash Adams in a fantasy sequence) You'll never make me talk, Dr. Decay: I don't want you to talk, Mr.

( ) •: Stinky (Roger's pet cat) and Chalky in the Disney series. •: The show originated as a potential series of children books before Jenkins turned it into a cartoon. The story of 'Doug's New Shoes' was the original intended premiere book.

•: Although Doug. Most of the episodes are usually one of Doug's journal entries. •: Roger lives alone with his mom, but his dad is never seen until the Disney series, which revealed in a flashback that his parents divorced.

•: Mayor White's at times, notably in 'Doug, Mayor for a Day'. Installer Firmware Movie Cube R100 Mazda there. • /: Nic-Nacs. •: Doug has a sleeveless green sweater as part of his main outfit. • •: • The pilot is animated with and Doug calls his journal his diary. Also in the pilot, Mr. Dink hung out with the kids at Bluffington Elementary School, and Roger was Doug's romantic rival for Patti (the role would later be given to Guy in the Disney series) and he had a different gang (whether they're early versions of Ned, Willy, and Boomer or completely different characters is unknown, as none of them were given names). • In the first season, Connie has purple skin and yellow hair, as opposed to green skin and black hair.

•: Happens quite a bit when Doug screams, especially if it's at the end of a cold open (such as in 'Doug Can't Dance' and 'Doug's Math Problem.' ) •: Patti Mayonnaise, Porkchop, The Beets. • 'Doug's Secret Song' takes this trope to the next level as the lyrics compare Patti to various edible condiments and toppings - i.e. 'the pickle in my coleslaw,' 'the sugar in my tea,' 'the ketchup on my French fries' etc. •: Walter 'Skunky' Beaumont as revealed in one of the Disney episodes. •: Played with in 'Doug Didn't Do It', in which Roger tells Doug he stole Mr.

Bone's trophy while sitting with his legs across Mr. Bone's desk— with his foot on the PA system button, and the 'on-air' light flashing. It's played with, in that Doug was more than happy to accept the punishment for something he didn't do, had no intention of tattling on Roger, and had even tried to warn Roger about what he was doing.

He's just that nice a guy. The school heard it, including Mr. Bone, and Roger will be polishing trophies 'til they put him in the grave. •: In 'Doug Is Hamburger Boy,' Patti and Skeeter, unaware that Doug is playing the titular role, can't figure out why he is avoiding them. After the whole business is over, Patti tells Doug she's figured out his secret, but that it's nothing to be ashamed of: lots of people can't swim.

(She does suspect the truth for a hot second, but convinces herself it couldn't be true.) •: Doug will walk through a door, offer up the title, and happily declare, 'That's me!' Before Porkchop shows up, screws him into the ground, and turns the lights off. All of this is accompanied by a. •: • In 'Doug's Brainy Buddy', Doug just couldn't believe Skeeter is a genius, and it got to the point where it nearly broke their friendship. When Judy asked what happened. Doug: He got smart.

[grabbing a Walkman] Well, I'll take this if you're just throwing it away. Doug: What do you mean 'oh'? I'm not jealous of him if that's what you think? (he laughs at this) ** I am jealous, am I, Porkchop? (Porkchop nods) • Doug gets another one in 'Doug Graduates' when he finds out why he's unhappy about graduation, while talking to Roger who feels the same way. • And another in 'Doug's Disappearing Dog' when he realizes why Porkchop ran away, because he 'treated him like a dog'.

• Similarly in 'Doug's Pet Capades,' Doug had one (with Skeeter and Larry's help) on the day of the performance when Porkchop refused to perform, and realized it was because he'd been so concerned with beating Roger that he hadn't cared what Porkchop wanted. •: Doug is a mild-mannered, student with a mostly unrequited crush on a girl, is only a moderate athlete, and can never stay ahead for long. •: Doug for Patti. •: Bluffington. Doug's family is unusual, in that they moved there from a nearby city called Bloatsburg. Most of Bluffington's residents were born and raised in Bluffington and lived their whole lives there, and their families have lived there for generations. • It's been suggested by some that the setting for the series is someplace in Virginia, which is Jim Jinkins' home state.

•: • The Beets' name and Liverpool accents are obviously based on (although singer Monroe Yoder looks more like ). Sonically, their music bears more resemblance to The Who (particularly 'I Need Mo' Allowance') or even punk rock acts like than the Beatles. • Many of the characters are reminiscent of characters.

Doug is kind of like Charlie Brown in personality and character design, Porkchop is Snoopy, Patty Mayonnaise is the Little Red Haired Girl, Skeeter is Linus, amongst many others. This is lampshaded in the series premiere of the Disney series when Doug sees a computer simulation of possible haircuts and one is that of Charlie Brown. He even says good grief. • Or it could be: Doug=Archie, Skeeter=Jughead, Patty=Betty, Beebe=Veronica, Porkchop=Hot Dog (even though he's Jughead's dog) •: This is seen often with many of the incidents where those who target the titular character and his friends, mostly the bullies. • In 'Doug Saves Roger', Roger, a known bully, falls victim to the bullying of Percy Femur, Vice Principal Lamar Bone’s nephew and who’s bigger than Roger. Doug stands up for Roger and almost pays for it.

Roger tells Mr. Bone about his nephew's bullying, explaining to Doug that he ran out of ideas. • 'Doug Battles The Rulemeister' – While spending a Saturday in detention, Doug draws a Quailman comic in which Quailman defeats an enemy known as 'The Rulemeister' (modeled after Principal Bone) by finding a loophole in one of his rules. When Bone seizes the comics, Doug asks him if he’s immune to the same rules. When Bone states that everyone must follow his rules without exceptions,.

While Bone still enforces the rules, he knows he can be overruled by anyone either the same position as him, or higher like Buttsavitch, who’s the principal. •: • Doug had shades of this. • Larry plays this totally straight.

•: Some of Porkchop's reactions suggest this. •: The handful of times Porkchop is shown as a puppy in flashback sequences.
