Doug was the worst. Even stuff like Catdog and Rocket Power were better than Doug.

Rocko's Modern Life, Hey Arnold, and Angry Beavers were legit.

There was a movie crossover between Rugrats and The Wild Thornberries, and they decided to hype it up by focusing on how the WT main character would talk to the Rugrats dog. Finally, after years of suspense, we could finally know the inner musings of the Rugrats dog.

Somehow that wasn't enough to convince me to watch it.

The worst part about Doug is nobody ever punched him right in that big loving nose.

Though Skeeter's little brother did bite a big honkin' chunk outta it so he's cool.

Or maybe it’s just because Doug is an rear end in a top hat who doesn’t care at all about the other people in his life?

Pretty much.

It's amazing how much Hey Arnold! is basically the same show as Doug except city setting, but is so much better because they actually gave a poo poo about the other characters instead of focusing on Arnold having panic attacks about the dumbest loving poo poo.

Arnold, despite being almost a deus-ex-machina in so many episodes that even other characters call him out for always trying to interject himself into everyone's issues, is still so much less of an annoying, self-insert Marty Stu than Doug Funnie, the most neurotic cartoon boy of the 90s.

They were even self-aware enough to mess with that formula, like when the unlucky kid realized bad stuff only happened to him when Arnold was around and called out Arnold for jinxing him all the time. Then there's a scene where the unlucky kid's having a party and a grand old time while Arnold stands in the distance, pissed off while it rains on only him.

No because Clarissa isn't a self-absorbed idiot who thought she was the center of the universe and actually showed compassion and understanding of others.

I mean the same's probably not true of her actress but that's a whole other thing.

I watched the first episode of adult party cartoon and it was basically just nothing but daring the viewer to stop watching. The funniest thing to come out of it is the phrase "adult party cartoon".

IIRC That episode was twenty minutes of Ren and Stimpy talking about loving each other. That was the one "joke" told over and over for twenty loving minutes.

Remember when Doug got invited to dinner at Patti’s and it turns out she was serving liver and onions and Doug freaked out because he didn’t like liver and onions and spent days worrying about disappointing Patti because he didn’t like liver and onions and then he finally tried liver and onions and found out he actually liked liver and onions and it turned out Patti wasn’t serving liver and onions and was only joking about serving liver and onions because she knew Doug didn’t like liver and onions?

Why can’t more cartoons have such riveting storytelling?

I remember on Hey Arnold, Arnold also had a crush on someone early on, but he actually asked her out eventually and on the date found he didn’t really like her personality, so he moved on. And also the crush wasn’t a big constant factor like it was in most Doug episodes.

You know if Doug overheard Patti ask Bebe how to be attracted to Doug he'd be ecstatic instead of embarrassed and immediately go into another daydream.
