History YMMV / AskThatGuyWithTheGlasses

%%* EvilIsSexy: Oh goodness, yes.

* PeripheryDemographic: There are a number of people who just watch for EvilIsSexy reasons. And like with Critic and WebVideo/DemoReel, there's a crowd of abuse victims who like him because they relate to the shit that's happened to him and how he [[ThenLetMeBeEvil coped]].

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: In episode 63, That Guy is hit with a giant wooden hammer from off-screen. When he attempts to answer the next question, he's hit with it again.

* CrossesTheLineTwice: Pretty much ''every single word that comes out of his mouth''. It's impossible to find a single episode that does not include something that would make the show ban worthy in some countries.

* EvilIsSexy: Oh goodness, yes.

* FridgeHorror: He interacts far more with his creator (non-verbally anyway) than Critic ever did. If he ever gets through the fourth wall, then Doug is really not to going to have a good time.

* FridgeLogic: How on earth did he manage to get into heaven? ''Twice''?

* GrowingTheBeard: Episode 4 was when his sadism and issues really started to appear. Before that, he was just a suave-but-wacky moron who answered every question wrong.

* HilariousInHindsight: In episode 27, he says people only watch his show for soft porn. About twenty episodes later, well, just have a look at the {{fanservice}} entry.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: In the second half of Ask That Guy's run, he had a cutely sadomasochistic canon-sleeping-together relationship with a narrator who became a character (of the LoveMartyr kind) of his own. But in the finale, there's no reference to the relationship and [[AnythingThatMoves ATG]] is oddly sexless.

* NightmareFuel: In episode 63, when asked if he ever attempted a world record, he says "I'm the only person in the world that can do this" and then he [[spoiler:turns into a floating brain with ominous demonic sounds play while he screams in terror]].

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: In episode 31, he made a joke about all the scary freaks of nature who now know who he is. Let's just say Doug's fanbase has got much creepier since then.

* HarsherInHindsight: In an early episode he has a breakdown about dying alone and forgotten because he's so intelligent, but then snaps back to claim he was just joking. Fast forward to the finale and he does indeed die alone.

* CrossesTheLineTwice: Pretty much '''every single word that comes out of his mouth''. It's impossible to find a single episode that does not include something that would make the show ban worthy in some countries.

** From the forty-fifth episode, the praise to Blip is, at the least, irritating now. The site has had many issues with paying various producers, the infamous cullings of producers, and, finally, it's closure on August 20th, 2015.

** In 15, he rants that if he was a figment of someone else's imagination, wouldn't a good rational person with a conscience get rid of such evil like him. In late 2014, he is indeed got rid of, though not for decency purposes as it was just to announce the site name changing.

** In episode 59, he makes a typical “Justin Bieber is a girl” joke, gets lauded and gives a TakeThat to the internet; “Thank you for so needlessly hating a little boy whose music you don't have to listen to!" A couple of years later, Doug got a lot of heat for a [[http://authenticsouthern.tumblr.com/post/93435212615/on-facebook transphobic sexist joke]] about Orlando Bloom and Bieber being women catfighting. So the character ends up nicer than the actor.

** Watching the series with the knowledge that he came back as Uncle Lies and is Hyper's dad. Like she got her ThePeepingTom skills from him, and he has a cabinet full of red scarves.

** In a DVD episode, the murder of the camera-man. It's from his POV and we can hear him begging as Ask That Guy first shoots him, and when he's out of bullets, kneels down with a big smile and snaps his neck. Fact that camera man is probably played by Rob doesn't help.

* TooCoolToLive: Not 'cool' in the badass sense, he had a lot of breakdowns towards the end, but a DepravedBisexual with canon gay relationship with his narrator, deep psychological issues and has so done so many awful things he's close friends with the devil should have more than 71 episodes, a couple-of-years SeriesHiatus, and an AssPull ending.

** From the forty-fifth episode, the praise to Blip is, at the least, irritating now. The site has had many issues with paying various producers, the infamous cullings of producers, and, finally, it's closure on August 20th.

** If Doug's marriage ever ends, regardless of if by divorce or death, then episode 54 will appear this way. Hopefully, though, this won't happen for a very very long time.

* JerkassWoobie: Occasionally, when he realizes how sick and twisted he is and gets upset.
** Videos have implied that ''he'' has [[FreudianExcuse had been the victim of many horrible things]].
** His SanitySlippage in the last ten episodes drove home the idea that there really is a pathetic little boy underneath all that monstrousness.

* ViewersInMourning: Very few fans of his actually liked his death. It's mostly because unlike Critic who got a love letter send-off, and even Donnie got to RageAgainstTheAuthor, Ask That Guy was just killed to change the site name and it [[AssPull showed]]. Adding insult to injury, WebVideo/AskANinja got to be on the site months later, with the tagline "The series that inspired us to create Ask TGWTG is now on Channel Awesome!".
* TheWoobie: Pity the poor narrator. Although he's not completely without fault, he never says anything against the AxCrazy questions often given, or tries to stop Ask That Guy's killing sprees.
** The GPS got proposed to, married, had her husband leave in a temper tantrum and then come back to shoot her all in one day.

* MostAnnoyingSound: "THIS IS THE MOST ANNOYING SONG IN THE WORLD!" It sounds funny the first few times it plays, but when he makes that song the background music for the ''whole episode'', you will want to stab your eardrums with an icepick by the time the credits roll. Which is kind of the point.

** In episode 49, he's asked whether people can be President despite posting controversial comments online. The [[UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump 45th U.S. President]] now has a memetic habit of constantly Tweeting controversial things.

** The entire [=YardOz=] segment, which is a parody of {{Zardoz}} featuring a giant floating head in the sky that tries to convince That Guy to engage in self mutilation for no apparent reason, is ignored, and then the episode goes on without a single reference to what the hell just happened. At least it explains how he got a new pipe.

* PeripheryDemographic: There are a number of people who just watch for EvilIsSexy reasons.

* {{Fanon}}: The gloriously nutty fanfic fandom has [[http://tgwtg-meme.livejournal.com/1329.html?thread=642353#t642353 decided]] that the porn movie "Bunny Does Dallas" involved a man in a bunny suit raping a BoundAndGagged Critic with a carrot.

* DudeNotFunny: If some of his "answers" get this reaction from you, consider that a ''good'' sign. A good barometer might be his spiel on SantaClaus.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: In the second half of Ask That Guy's run, he had a cutely sadomasochistic canon-sleeping-together relationship with a narrator who became a character (of the LoveMartyr kind) of his own. But in the finale, there's no reference to the relationship and [[AnythingThatMovies ATG]] is oddly sexless.
