** Doug panning ''TheDarkKnightRises'' resulted in the video [[HePannedItNowHeSucks being one of his lowest rated on the site.]]


Added DiffLines:

* HePannedItNowHeSucks: Despite all of Doug's apologies for maybe being too harsh and his detailed explanations of why he didn't like it, he was subject to the same shit that everyone who didn't like ''TheDarkKnightRises'' got.

Those were just Vocal Minority idiots, most people listened to the \"this is just my opinion\" bits of those reviews.


** People also got upset when Doug said he actually liked {{Transformers}} better than The Avengers.
** Doug panning ''TheDarkKnightRises'' to the same level he did to the aforementioned Distrct 9.

** And if he really is homeless, this gives an interpretation of his relationship with the Critic: the reason he's in suprisingly good condition is that [[HiddenDepths the Critic]] [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold is taking really good care of him.]] [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming Aww...]]
* BrokenBase: The review of ''District 9'', which panned the movie perhaps the most out of any that he's reviewed so far, has actually generated a bit of controversy amongst his own base of viewers. (Thus, why he put it at number 2 on his list of movies he didn't like that everyone else seemed to love.)

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: Before ''[[{{Twilight}} Breaking Dawn]]'' came out, Doug was gleeing over how much he was going to enjoy it for the SoBadItsGood quality. Uh, yeah... didn't quite turn out that way.
** Giggling about how the ''ParanormalActivity'' movies are anti-men and wondering if that makes him a "menimest" is adorable. Three episodes later, when the above film comes along, brokenly raging about it'll teach girls that this is how men will treat you when you're pregnant, makes you wonder if he's okay.
* HarsherInHindsight: Aww, look at the Bum's youmacon video where he's all freaked out. You just want to take him home and... wait, a con report says Doug really ''did'' get scared because people were constantly asking "[[{{Casper}} can I keep you?]]". Oh.
* HilariousInHindsight: The line in Chester's review of ''{{Up}}'' about that they should send all the people in the sky adds more hilarity when [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LRaIbiCvBY Pixar actually does run closely with it]].

Updated to meet new Nightmare Fuel criteria.


* HighOctaneNightmareFuel: The ending of his Paranormal Activity 3 review. This troper has not even seen the movie and yet his heart started pounding when it happened.

* MagnificentBastard: He's managed two examples that earn him the title, mostly because nobody was expecting it from him:
** Promising an interviewer dirt on the Critic and then telling him that Critic offered him change and a place to stay with no ulterior motive.
** Managing to destroy the entire world, something not even Malachite (possibly the only true CompleteMonster the site had) could pull off.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: He's not really homeless, he's just crazy and thinks he is. Think about it, we rarely see him outside, he looks suspiciously clean and well-fed and he hangs around Critic's house constantly, who we know offered him a place to stay and a job reviewing new movies.


Added DiffLines:

* IronWoobie: You've got to admit he's pretty good at carrying on with life without all that much complaint. True, that might be because he's high and drunk most of the time, but still.

-->So, you might be wondering what's the moral of the story, kids? The moral of the story is... deal with it! Just... deal with it! Your family's not perfect? Deal with it! You're trapped on an island with monsters? Deal with it! You live in a pine cone where people occasionally urinate on you and throw feces at you always saying that they left their change at home even though I see them pay for a hooker just on the side of the street?! A hooker that could pleasure them probably not nearly as well as I could?! Deal with it! *starts crying* Have a good cry and then deal with it! Bite your finger until it starts to bleed, cry, and deal with it! Forget this cruel, horrible world, die alone in the dark, then bite your finger until it starts to bleed, cry, and deal with it!
