Doug - The Ultimate Example of a Nice Guy?
I was reading the article about the recovering nice guy, and thought about everything from the Beatles' way of thinking and treating women, to how they are sort of raised nerds. Right after I was writing this down, up came yet another weird example: Doug. Yes, Doug Funnie.
I know you guys talked about his show before, but for some reason, I could not stop thinking about the situation. Doug was very in love with Patti Mayonnaise, since he moved to Bluffington, yet after all those dates and times of being friends with her (and all of his fantasies on her falling in love with her), he never worked up the nerve. Even in the season from ABC, he had one piece of competition: the confident, whacky guy...um, Guy.
Surely, the thing doesn't seem like a love, but Patti has her interests in Guy's ability to go for the gold, even on a committee. Still, all this time, even in the movie, we never got a chance to see Doug kiss or say he is in love with Patti.
I don't know what they did with Doug anymore, but if ever I had to point out Mancouch's point about nice guys, Doug seems to show it in spades. It's funny how I just noticed that, after seeing it in Saturday cartoons.

Poor Doug! Man, I used to love that show. I agree though, he was a straight-up nice guy. If he had gained some confidence along with his awesome personality then he surely would've gotten Patti!
P.S. This is off topic, but Judy annoyed the hell out of me! Beatnik poser! :(
Wasn't he Quail Man, too?
nice guys actually can and do finnish first and er last rather well... they can be the last guy a girl chooses in a good way
OH MY GOD DOUG FUNNIE STORY OF MY LIFE.
aw doug and patti never end up together? how sad :(
I was so little, i barely remember doug. :/
@ViciousGrin63@xanga - Every nice guy dreams he is a big time hero. After all, every comic book you read proves that the superheroes tend to get the girl, right?
@mynameisblueskye@xanga - That is a great point.
Doug is straight up THE best thing to ever appear on Nickelodeon. And for the record, i'd date Doug ;(
@ViciousGrin63@xanga - He was Jack Bandit (WANANA!!) too. :)
i loved doug, though is friend skeeter was always a little weird, (what kind of parent names their kid skeeter? wtf?) but i think in the back of my head they have the unaired episode of how doug confesses his love for patti and she over hears him and she proclaims her love for him too. there. happily ever after. :D
@sarahb_86@xanga - Hahaha :] yes he was.
"Banging on a trash can"
@PiscesPhishie@xanga - skeeter's real name was mosquito valentine (not that that's more normal - but who's blue in real life anyway)
but yeah i LOVED doug!! i TOTALLY would have dated doug! how come patti never caught on btw? i mean come on really?
@MilkyWhitesezMoo@xanga - i always thought she secretly knew but it was one of those things that she didn't want to admit because she wasn't completely sure so she wouldn't say anything unless he did first. oh man. teenagers, how complicated.
@sophia@xanga - It's not that they didn't end up together. I guess they stopped airing Doug, and so whether they got together or not is a mystery in itself.
@mynameisblueskye@xanga - oh they cancelled the series? that's sad there was no finale.
I miss Doug... =/
Haha, remember that love song he wrote for her?
"Patti, you're the pickle in my coleslaw! Patti, you're the sugar in my tea! Patti you're the relish on my hotdog! And Patti, you're the Mayonaise for me!"
How could they NOT get together after that song? What woman could resist?
@PiscesPhishie@xanga - Yes! That did happen in the Doug movie!!! Your right! Ha, yes, happy ending indeed.
@schiiism@xanga - i clearly do not remember that movie, but apparently my subconscious does otherwise i would not have laid out the plot so accurately. lol.
@C0ll33Ncorps@xanga - OMFG. YES! I'd totaly fall in love with him if i was her!
I've been told so many times that I remind people of Doug that I've lost count.
i <3 Doug
@PiscesPhishie@xanga -
I'm sorry, I just have to do this:

I wish nice guys didn't feel like they need to be the shy guys too.
