Doug's Family |
|
Phil Funnie -
Ah yes, Doug's loveable dad. Whether he's teaching Doug how to build the
perfect kite or how to throw the Funnie Fastball, Phil is always around to give
Doug some words of wisdom. I'd write more about Phil, but I'll leave you
with this instead...

Theda Funnie - Wow, Theda huh. I had to look that one up.
Anyways, this is Doug's usually normal, seldom seen, and sometimes crazy mom.
One of the few notable thing's she did was invite Judy's boyfriend over to the
house for dinner. Way to go mom! I think we all know how that
ended... heh... heh... ok fine I'll explain. It basically all came
down to Doug's family playing different roles to make Judy's life more
extravagant to her boyfriend. That crazy Doug (in typical Doug fashion)
switched his role from butler to secret agent, leaving a note at the bottom of
the boyfriends drink. This of course led to one of the greatest line's
from Doug... "There's a bomb in the lasagna?" |
 |
Judy Funnie - The beret wearing, sun-glass toting, beatnik sister of
Doug's is always around to make everyone feel like they aren't good enough.
Always too cool for the world, Judy is overly dramatic and embarrassed of her
family (see above). Some memorable events of Judy's are ones such as her
desperately attempting to impress the big Hollywood director, or briefly dating
Roger. Even through all this, she does manage to do good, like giving up
some tickets to The Beets! |
 |
Porkchop -
Man's best friend, or perhaps Doug's best friend... well tied with Skeeter at
least. Porkchop lives it up in his igloo dog house or hanging out in
Doug's room as he writes in his journal. Porkchop is the dog of dogs.
And of course he is a master painter, when he runs through paint with a raccoon
on the back of Doug's canvas and creates a masterpiece... or something. |
|
Doug's Friends |
 |
Skeeter Valentine - Who doesn't have a friend like Skeeter?
That friend who is just a little too weird, but also a genius in disguise?
Yeah we all love The Skeeter. He was always there for Doug, and Doug for
him. I think we all remember when we thought Skeeter was going to move.
Doug found him sitting upside down on a bench crying. Luckily in the end
we found out by "moving" his parents just meant they were moving his room into
the basement.
What a sweet pad! Seriously though, mean parents. |
 |
Patti Mayonnaise - Who wouldn't be in love with that sweet sweet yellow hair and that brown skin and pink and blue poke-a-dots! Oooo Patti and her wheel-chair bound dad and her springy grass, what would the series have been without her? There'd be no embarrassing songs made about pickles and mayonnaise, and there'd be no destruction of houses with a single rock. Man... that Doug is a jerk. Patti showed him who is boss! |
|
Or not... |
 |
Roger Klotz - For every Yin there is a Yang. Neo and Agent Smith.
Kirk and Kahn. Doug and Roger! Roger's relationship with Doug was
realistically great. He wasn't the bully you see on every other TV show.
He was just that kid at school who is a jerk to you, but sometimes your friend.
Sure he'll send you on neematoad hunts or steal your lucky hat, but in the end
he's still your bud, kind of. |
 |
Stinky - I will make no mention of Roger's cat Stinky... ugh never mind. |
 |
Beebe Bluff -
You know which one she is. She's the snob with all the fancy clothes, rich
parents, and a sweet outdoor pool at her house. Remember when her mom
manipulated the ballet teacher into letting Beebe get the lead role instead of
Patti, even though Patti was much more deserving? Yeah, my point exactly.
We all know how it is, I mean if I had a nickel for every time I got screwed out
of a lead in a ballet performance... I mean... uh... Remember when Doug
was too embarrassed to take off his shirt at Beebe's pool party!? Ohhh
man, what a dork! |
 |
Connie Benge
- Yes, Connie. Oh, so many things not to say about Connie... |
|
Al and Moo Sleech
- Everyone knows at least one pair of twins at some point or another, but these
two just happen to be a little more out of whack. Then again, who says
that video game playing, geeked-out nerd twins are out of whack anyways?
Am I right or am I right?
Chalky Studebaker
- Your school has a jock, my school has a jock, and Doug's school has a jock.
Chalky is that jock. Thank you.
Other Miscellaneous Characters
Mr. Dink -
He's that whacky neighbor who always has something new he just got for a great
price. Mr. Dink is always there to give Doug some sage advice, or to offer
him up a mascot job. Oh Mr. Dink, why can't all neighbors be like you?
Mrs. Wingo -
Doug's teacher who they seemed to have for a couple years too long. Not
saying she wasn't nice, just come on folks, REALISM GAWD LOLZZZ!!!1
Remember when Doug accidentally handed in that picture he drew of Mrs. Wingo?
That actually happened to a friend of mine, only instead of the picture being a
caricature of the teacher, my friend drew the teacher as Jabba The Hutt.
And yes, she saw it.
Vice-Principal
Lamar Bone - Oh Mr. Bone. You nut! Sure he was a jerk, but he
had his up sides. He yodeled for one thing! And that one time he
almost died (well actually he had a wart removed), he reverted back to his
childhood alias of "T-Bone" and became a cool kid, for a little bit.
The Beets -
And of course... The Beets. The greatest band of all time, at least in
Bluffington. Although never playing a very pivotal role in the show, they
left us all with great lyrics from their hit songs...
I need mo' allowance
Yodalayheeeeee
I need mo' allowance
Yodalayheeeeee
Why? Because I doooooo
And of course, the famous...
Ooo eee ooo
Killer Tofu
Ooo EEE ooo
KILLER TOFUUUUUUUU
