# Music.LaReginaDelCelebrita: Not mentioned in the lyrics but prominent in the animation is a bald, hulking bouncer with sunglasses and a gold tooth. His key role is getting the blond patron away from the go-go dancer, because it's against the rules to get that close to the dancers. The patron's friends plead with the bouncer to let the guy stay, which he probably did seeing as the patron and dancer later get married.
# PlayingWith.FightingIrish: The local nightclub owner is thinking to hire Patrick as a {{Bouncer}} for his reputed prowess and temper. -- '''A strong, fighting + short-tempered bouncer'''
# Recap.SamuraiJackS5E6XCVII: Scaramouche has to deal with a ''very'' stubborn one who refuses to let him onboard the boat without compliance of the dress code. Trying to pull rank on the guy doesn't help, as it seems two of Aku's other assassins have higher standing. -- '''A stubborn bouncer'''

Doug was pretty much of the non-violent fast-talking kind who would try to defuse trouble rather than invite it, but it cannot be denied that he could let the power of running the door, and deciding who got in, go to his head.
