History Characters / TheITCrowd

* KickTheSonOfABitch: His first official act as head of Reynholm Industries is to fire Derek Pippen, who just couldn't wait to get rid of the IT department and kept reminding them about it.

* {{Catchphrase}}:

* AnythingThatMoves: As long as it is female, Roy is willing to sleep with it, unless if it's Judy.

* AnythingThatMoves: His standards are even lower than Roy's.

* HollywoodDateless: Despite his constant complaining about his romantic life, he's had plenty of girlfriends. His standards are just ridiculous.

* PosthumousCharacter: He occasionally factors into plots even after his death, and even occasionally reappears in the form of various video wills.

* AmbiguouslyBi: Has ([[TheImmodestOrgasm seemingly great]]) sex with Jen's friend Jessica in one episode, but also has a subscription to ''Heat'' magazine, which Roy had earlier (correctly) used to prove that Jen's latest crush was gay due to his interest in it.

* {{Cyborg}}: Gets himself a robot(technically "bionic") hand after his real one gets amputated due to getting an infection from his tattoo that he himself learned how to do. It's strong enough to break glass.

* ItsAllAboutMe: An interesting case. While he genuinely seems to want to show his appreciation for his employees fairly often, these efforts are foiled by his general selfishness and lack of real interest in them. Notably, while he occasionally acts like a HopelessSuitor towards Jen or a wannabe [[HeterosexualLifePartners buddy]] towards Roy, he's so self-involved that he can't be guaranteed to remember either of their names. He's more into the ''idea'' of being close with his workers than he is in actually being close with them.

* NoIndoorVoice: Shouts nearly every line he has. One he doesn't, [[LargeHam he'll still try to overact as much as possible]].

* StrawMisogynist: His cartoonishly backwards and inappropriate opinions about women are a frequent source of humor. In-universe, he is a frequent target of criticism by various feminists publications, all of which goes completely over his head (he believed he was given the "Shithead of the Year" award by one such organization as recognition for being a feminist icon, for example).

* TooDumbToLive: Constantly falling for pyramid schemes, puts a gun in his mouth and fires them repeatedly to see if it was loaded, thought a briefcase was a computer and [[ArsonMurderAndJayWalking considers Roy to be the picture of the trendy modern man]].

* TyrantTakesTheHelm: His father was awful and horrendously corrupt, but at least seemed sort of competent at his job. Douglas is manic, unpredictable and constantly forces his employees to do things they don't want to do. Despite this, he comes off as much more well-intentioned than Denholm ever did.

* AmbiguousDisorder: The lack of inflection in his voice, incredible technical ability alongside nonexistent mundane ones and general lack of understanding of normal human interactions put him in this territory. Then again, from what little we see of his mother, he may really just be ''that'' coddled.

* AmbiguousDisorder: In the finale, Roy recounts his girlfriend calling him "artistic" in the middle of an argument. This is discussed after he's hung up on [[ItMakesSenseInContext believing that little people can't make coffee]]. Jen deduces that she'd called him ''autistic'', calling him emotionally colorblind when he uses a cheerfully casual tone of voice when his girlfriend's grandfather dies. His defense is that he wasn't "concentrating." Incidentally, lack of emotional empathy is more a symptom of sociopathy than of autism, the latter of which tends to feature emotional ''hyper''empathy and deficits in ''social'' empathy (i.e. how allistic individuals think and communicate in a given situation).
-->''"Ohhh. Funerals are sad..."''
** He then has to use spices in his eyes to seem appropriately sad... before laughing his hole off at the grandfather's funeral because his side of the family is comprised of little people. He later delivers an impassioned speech about being more sensitive and in touch with his girlfriend's emotions, completely overlooking and ignoring the fact that she's been pepper sprayed and in immense pain (he ''did'' miss the fact that she pepper sprayed herself by mistake, though her body language and tone of voice is easily indicative of pain).
