Animation Damnation: Doug "Doug's Christmas Story"
Added 2023-12-21 11:00:04 +0000 UTCOn this month's Animation Damnation episode, we're celebrating the TENTH ANNIVERSARY OF ANIMATION DAMNATION (!!!) by talking about the tragic Doug holiday episode, "Doug's Christmas Story"!
Originally airing back on December 12, 1993, this episode has a severe lack of Patti and Roger, but does have Porkchop trying to prevent a death that was clearly meant to happen, the town of Bluffington becoming completely bloodthirsty wanting this dog dead, and Doug having a complete and total breakdown as he fluently shifts between four personalities! PLUS: Incredibly depressing Doug fan fiction!

Agree with all that the Patti impression is great, and her life pretty bleak, but went looked up and saw they had another Doug episode, and their Roger Klotz impression trumps the Patti. Playing him as an alt-right incel needs more appearances

2023-12-22 14:46:49 +0000 UTCThere needs to be a Pirandello esque Six Characters in Search of an Author but with the deranged WHM versions of the characters. Bitchy Picard, Stupid selfish Billy, Patti, etc.

2023-12-22 03:36:16 +0000 UTCWhen I was 6 or 7 my aunt came to live with us for a while due to a divorce and had her pit bull with her. He was kept in an area of the backyard and was told not to go near him and stay away. We had own own dog who would often spill food and I would put it back in his bowl. OF COURSE I still eventually went to see her dog who had spilled his food so I started picking it up and he put his mouth on my arm to move it away like "hey man, that's mine". Not breaking the skin at all but I still freaked out and started screaming bloody murder. In the end my parents wanted the dog gone and she quickly had to find a new place to live. My aunt hasn't spoken to me since and really.. I don't blame her.

2023-12-22 03:33:06 +0000 UTCI wonder if Doug got Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher to be character witnesses for Porkchop. That is kind of their thing lately.

2023-12-22 03:08:43 +0000 UTCBrilliant stuff. Agree with the consensus around Patti being a hall of fame-level impression. I always look forward to any Doug-related contact from the WHM gang, and would happily pay extra for a higher Doug-focused Patreon tier!

2023-12-21 22:17:41 +0000 UTCAfter not seeing Doug for decades, gotta say I think it ruled. Maybe it's just compared to anything animated today, it has a unique visual style (as simple as it is), the music throughout the episode was deliberate and well-done, and like Steve, I found some parts legitimately funny. Also I enjoy that cartoon quasi-reality, where an entire town will act as of something insane is perfectly normal. Feels like classic cartoon "looniness." Speaking of dogs and children, in the Argentinian movie When Evil Lurks from this year, there is a pretty jaw-dropping scene that I can sincerely say may actually change my real world perception of that scenario

2023-12-21 21:51:52 +0000 UTC🤣 I had forgotten it was an Xmas ep she was born in. I thought Disney doug already had her born by series start. But I remember that ridiculous name

2023-12-21 20:19:36 +0000 UTCOK I am gonna decloak and reveal my white trash roots here; a favorite thing of mine at potlucks or parties is a slow cooker filled with those cocktail smoked sausages and the sauce is equal parts grape jelly and heinz chili sauce. It works with cocktail meatballs too, you get a kind of sweet and tangy sauce that really works once you are a few drinks in. I can hard confirm this is in fact a thing.

2023-12-21 19:16:22 +0000 UTCThey should do the Disney Doug Christmas episode next year. It's called "Doug's Secret Christmas" and it features the birth of Doug's baby sister. I won't spoil it here, but they give her an incredibly stupid name.

2023-12-21 19:09:44 +0000 UTCPatti Mayonnaise is my favorite impression. Hands down.

2023-12-21 13:58:50 +0000 UTCI feel the same way about Patty Mayonnaise as I do about Winnie Cooper
