History YMMV / Doug

* HaveAGayOldTime: "Roger says "Yeah, What do you know Skeet-Face."

* Alternate Character Interpretation: The entire show is this due to the fact that it is a narritive of events through the eyes of one kid writing about these events into his journal. As a result, his opinions on a person will affect how they are portrayed in each episode.

** One comes from Beebee at the end of the movie. After Doug and Skeeter successfully get Herman, the Lucky Duck Lake monster, into the cleaner Crystal Lake, Thad Bluff begins threatening to make their lives a living hell before Beebee screams "DADDY! KNOCK IT OFF!".

* NightmareFuel: The snipe hunting episode featured a [[DerangedAnimation creepy, surreal imaginary sequence]] of monsters lurking in the woods.

* EarWorm: "Bangin' on a trash can, drummin' on a street light..."

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: From the Disney version. Doug winds up borrowing one of Judy's hats for a school project that Roger finds and decides to keep. Doug winds up being Roger's slave and has to avoid telling Judy what happened, as he had to sign a contract in order to borrow it. After being involved in a scheme to steal a plastic cow (ItMakesSenseInContext), Doug finally admits to Judy that Roger has the hat and won't give it back. Her response?

-->'''Judy''': Why didn't you just say so? (Walks off-screen to Roger) HEY! YOU! GIMME MY HAT BACK!! (Proceeds to slug Roger)

* FamilyUnfriendlyAesop: In the VerySpecialEpisode mentioned below, Patti becomes anorexic and over exercises in an attempt to ...improve her athletic performance. Despite a crumbling personal life and constant exhaustion, she believes it is working and everything is ok. Only after passing out at a sporting event does she think she has a problem... her eating disorder is negatively affecting her athletic abilities. Moral of the story; eating disorders are just fine until you lose a sporting event. On a side note, Patti proves to be a piss poor athlete anyway for believing that not eating and over exercising improves athletic performance.
** Does this really count? It's quite frequent in Aesops for it to take something bad happening for a character to realize there's a problem.

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: While ''Disney's Doug'' lasted three years, some fans were simply turned off by the change. Of course, others did enjoy it.

** Same with the movie. Some love it, some don't like it because of the CharacterDerailment, and others don't like it because well...it's Disney's Doug.

* CharacterDerailment: Guy Graham from Disney's Doug was always an egomaniac and could be a jerk, but he was never a really ''bad'' guy. But in TheMovie, he's an absolute bastard working with [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Mr. Bluff]] to kill an innocent creature for his own gain, manipulating Patti all the while. He's Doug's rival in love, sure, but he was never ''villainous'' in the show like he is in TheMovie.
** The same goes for Bill Bluff who is inflated to a supervillain somewhere between ''ErinBrockovich'' and ''JamesBond''.

* PeripheryHatedom: See the JustBugsMe page for the haters.

* NightmareFuel: An in-universe example (though the episode probably freaked out some viewers as well). The episode with the movie ''The Abnormal''. Of course it turned out to be NightmareRetardant at the end...
** The snipe hunting episode featured a [[DerangedAnimation creepy, surreal imaginary sequence]] of monsters lurking in the woods.

* TearJerker: ''Doug's Christmas Story.''
** ''Patti's Dad Dilemma''

* ToyShip: Doug and Patti, both in sixth grade at the start of the series and only just finished seventh grade in the final episode.

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: While ''Disney's Doug'' lasted three years, some fans were simply turned off by the change. Of course, others did enjoy it.
