Added DiffLines:
* PlotDetour: His "walkthrough" of how to beat [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]] with [[OneHitPointWonder one health]] starts off as described, but halfway through Bleak Falls Barrow he is seemingly killed by his follower Faendal. The second half of the video deals with investigating the death, determining which crime Faendal might be charged with, an impromptu Twitch Chat jury trial, Faendal's execution by console command, and finally the funeral. As for the "walkthrough" part, after Faendal is properly mourned Doug just sums up the rest of the run as "and then beat the rest of the game without taking any damage".
Added DiffLines:
* PyrrhicVictory: By using a pair of giants to fight a Skyrim mod's GiantEnemyCrab instead of fighting it himself, healing the giants to keep them alive, he's able to find one of several ways to kill it. The problem is he's now in the middle of a giant camp with two pissed-off giants, who are still hostile, and who immediately walk up and kill him too.
* RedOniBlueOni: Doug discovers in his Twitch Chat alphabet tournament that the first and second halves of the alphabet ("A" Crew and "Z" Crew) are these. "A" Crew prefers flashy, audacious plays that are more interesting to watch, while "Z" Crew generally sticks to simple and practical plays with higher theoretical chance of success.

Added DiffLines:
* SophisticatedAsHell: In instances where a video's narration is played straight, there will sometimes be lines where that suddenly goes out the window.
-->'''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaZpmHC3LRg Narrator:]]''' This is some WesternAnimation/{{Ratatouille}}-ass shit.
* SuperSpeed:
** In an attempt to outrun the fast travel menu in ''Skyrim'', Doug uses console commands to increase his character's running speed. Very quickly he becomes TooFastToStop, which causes problems with FallingDamage over the uneven terrain.
** He [[StealthPun runs]] into a similar issue trying to super-sprint across ''Grand Theft Auto V''.
* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: As can be expected, the way cooking is presented in ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild Breath of the Wild]]'' is not remotely realistic. Literally tossing whole unprocessed ingredients into a wok filled with water for a handful of seconds doesn't give you meat skewers, carrot cake, or anything except slightly warmer and wetter ingredients, a huge mess to clean up, potential scald injuries, and probably a fire risk.

Added DiffLines:
** The video on Twitch Chat flying a plane in GTA V is narrated like an in-flight anouncement, and takes pot-shots at the air travel industry. American, Delta, and United Airlines each get unflattering shout-outs.
Added DiffLines:
* ToiletHumor: Half of the narration in his attempt to outrun Skyrim's fast travel is just a setup so that he can make an acronym out of the word "poostain".
Added DiffLines:
* UnfortunateNames: Faendal already qualifies (as mentioned in his entry in Skyrim's character page), but Doug keeps mispronouncing it different ways. The one he eventually settles on is "Fondle".
* WinsByDoingAbsolutelyNothing: Twitch Chat finally defeats the Big Yoshi event match in Melee with the following strategy: pick Ganondorf, causing Big Yoshi to fumble himself off the stage in less than a second. Not only did they beat the stage, but as one of the comments points out, Twitch Chat ''achieved a time ranked 11th in the whole world''.
* YinYangBomb: "A" Crew's audacious style and "Z" Crew's calm strategy combined when the two Crews became Team Alphabet, letting them perfectly complete the challenge that Doug posed to them instead of the expected disastrous fumble.

[[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClyGlKOhDUooPJFy4v_mqPg DougDoug]] is the name of a Website/YouTube channel run by Doug Wreden. Initially named Gloudas and focusing on ''[[VideoGame/HearthstoneHeroesOfWarcraft Hearthstone]]''-based content, the channel was eventually renamed to [=DougDoug=] and the focus shifted to more general content involving other games such as ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]]'', ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV'', ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'', and ''VideoGame/RedDeadRedemption2''.
Most videos involve Doug tackling ridiculous gaming challenges, such as controlling games with voice commands, completing a task while making things ''way'' harder with mods, or allowing his Twitch chat to control the game. No matter the video, things usually tend to go off the rails, sometimes with Doug describing things with food analogies.
Doug also has a Website/{{Twitch}} [[https://www.twitch.tv/dougdougw channel]] where he regularly streams, and from which much of his content is sourced.

!!"Listing these tropes is doable. I just have to play ''the best TV Tropes of my life''..."
* BearsAreBadNews: There's a good chance that bears will show up in any ''Skyrim'' video.
** In a tournament to determine the strongest ''Skyrim'' creature, Snow Bears dominated the competition, only coming in second to Mammoths, and even then the fight was ''very'' close.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--qBa2wtTtA "Bears."]] Just a regular nature documentary about the wildlife of ''Skyrim''. Then the bears show up...
** One video was dedicated to seeing which ''Skyrim'' city could kill the most bears before everyone was killed off... then how many bears Ulfric Stormcloak could kill... [[RunningGag then how many bears Sovngarde could kill.]] The result? [[spoiler:Riften wins, with a total of 58 bears. Write that down.]]
** Another video had Doug trying to play ''Skyrim'' while a bear spawned ''every ten seconds''. He did about as well as you would expect.
* BigEater: Invoked in one video on the [=DougDoug=] Dessert channel. Doug spawns a hundred cheese wheels in ''Skyrim'', then eats a quarter cup of cheese, and the process repeats until either the game crashes or Doug gives up. [[spoiler:The game crashed first.]]

* {{Determinator}}: Both Doug and Twitch chat. No matter what challenge they take on, they ''will'' eventually succeed... after hours of constant failed attempts.
* EldritchAbomination: In one ''Skyrim'' video, Doug ends up accidentally creating one of these when he turns a horse into a floating head, then proceeds to make the head gigantic. The result is a giant floating head that both refuses to die and proceeds to screw with the game, to the point that it prevents Doug from ''using console commands''.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: In "Can you bike down GTA's Mountain using ONLY your voice?", Doug drops several ''Star Wars'' references before the video eventually devolves into [[spoiler:Doug holding a trial over the name of a one-shot character from ''WesternAnimation/{{Ewoks}}''.]]
* InsaneTrollLogic:
** Doug wants to answer the age-old question "Why did the chicken cross the road?" His solution? Give Twitch chat control of a chicken in ''Grand Theft Auto V'' and have them complete increasingly ridiculous tasks.

** In "Can you kill a Lynel with Chickens?", Doug's initial plan is only three steps... then he starts adding more and more steps as he keeps finding issues with the plan.
