@CrassMetalHead It’s always a shame when one’s true failing is nothing more than a terrible judge of character. Because then you feel like a right arse for hoping he fails, even if it’s right to do so.
That is why I respect Doug a lot. Not only is he a creative guy, but he respects his audience (when they’re not pushing him). He knows a part of his fan base are bronies and will poke some humor to it, but normal humor that will make the bronies laugh. It’s a shame he, along with Rob and Linkara (and maybe Angry Joe) respect bronies. Half of the site I can think aren’t so Brony up.
Let’s not go that far, & let me clear it up for you.
In a commentary, Doug itted to watching one episode & saying it was good, however it wasn’t his type of thing. Basically he never had a high interest in the show, but he still respects it’s existence as well as the fanbase. And if you ask me, that’s more than enough.
He a made joke in the first Ghost rider movie, and unintentionally created one of the best MLP Fanon characters ever. He had to include G.P.R. in the sequel. Not to do so would be a sin. Luckily he did not forget… And the shadow pony government is please.
@Zennistrad Ah. He seemed so into it during the /mlp/ stream that I figured he continued on with it. Hopefully he does see it because it’s ridiculously badass. Although amusingly Nic doesn’t even get the most badass part. The main bad dude from the demon side of things crashes through a police barricade with a hydrogen fuel truck knocking the police cars around like matchbox cars. He opens the door a crack and snags one, dragging it along with the truck, then puts it into a sideways drift. He then smooooothly jazz-slides across the hood as the fuel truck tumbles end over end towards Nic Cage. Nic manages to drive under it just as it goes up and over the barricade, scraping underneath it. The demon guy is pretty much Agent Smith without the DBZ powers and the determination of a Terminator. Steals every damn scene he’s in.

How about a fan fic with the Bridle Brigade: a shadowy group of people who hunt down Bronies in Denial and force them to it that they are Bronies.
And they’ve targetted Doug.
“Why are you doing this?” hollared Doug as he fought against the bonds that held him fast to the wooden chair. “What sort of ransom do you think you can get for me?!”
The shadowy man chuckled low in his throat. “No, Mr. Walker,” he said in a chillingly deep voice, “we do not want your money.” He stepped just short of entering the light that illuminated Doug in the otherwise pitch black room and reached into the glow, holding a small pink toy pony in his hand. “All we want… is for you to brush the pony.”
Doug felt a twinge of panic in his gut; surely he had been abducted by mad men! “W-what?!”
“We will untie you,” said the shadowy man in complete, somber seriousness, “and you will brush the pony. Then you may eat the Happy Meal it came in, should you desire it. It is a cheeseburger.”
“You mean, all I have to do is brush the pony and you’ll let me go?” said Doug with a sense of hope.
“When you are finished,” said the shadowy man, “you will sit in the bean bag chair. We have some children’s programming for you to watch.”
“Who are you people?!” screamed Doug as he twisted and writhed in a vain attempt to free himself.
“We…” began the shadowy man, “are not people. We are a force. A vision. We know the truth, even if you do not. Struggle all you wish, Mr. Walker, for there is no escape. Within the week you will brush the pony, watch the pony, love the pony. Whether you want to or not.”
Doug threw back his head and screamed. Screamed until his lungs had expelled all their air and he fell lifelessly into the chair.
@Zennistrad You seem to be the resident expert, has he ever done Drive Angry?
Random Nic Cage movie I saw on USA Up All Night (yea they’re trying to bring that back on digital) and I think he’d lose his shit over that as much as he did Face/Off.
Direct-to-video movie with major H’wood production budget. Very weird. It’s like Ghost Rider meets Constantine with a dash of Thomas Jane Punisher starring in 10,000 Maniacs.
I can’t tell if he actually is a brony or if he’s just riding the whole thing as a joke (Poe’s Law, and all), but I can’t help but imagine Doug in a 20% Cooler T-Shirt in a darkened basement squeeing whilst ponies are being adorable on his television.
I kind of wish he’d not gone back to this joke again, TBH. Doug’s been good about not relying too heavily on running gags in more recent episodes, and I’d appreciate it if he didn’t forget that.
Yeah…
@Niggoslav_Krawczyk
Basically.
Well yeah. :< But that was a year ago.
Yeah…that just makes me even more sad that he’s gone.
Oh glorious <3.
Except JewWario. He was actually a brony.
And now a good chunk of that half isn’t on the site anymore.
Mmmm, delicious schadenfreude.

Nah. I think Nic Cage month was the first time he did any Nic Cage movies.

WELL THEN.
So he says. Now what we have to do is tie him up, draw some of his blood, heat a piece of wire red-hot, and stick it in the blood.
After we’ve enacted The Thing for no good reason, he’ll be so scared he’ll tell the truth.
I actually like running gags they’re like reoccurring characters that I love seeing again.
Sadly Doug isn’t a brony. He does however respect bronies, unlike some people on the TGWTG site..
