Dog Vlog
is a vlog series featuring a man and his dog.
More precisely, it's a video blog starring Drew Lynch, the stuttering comedian who competed in the tenth season of America's Got Talent, and his long-suffering service dog Stella. Drew talks about events in his life on the road as a comedian, addresses issues regarding his disability and his service animal, and pokes fun at himself, while Stella provides snarky commentary via photoshopped captions.
This series contains examples of:
- Animated Credits Opening: One that shows the accident that caused Drew's stutter.
- Berserk Button: For Drew, people who mess with Stella or try to interfere with her job as a service animal. Also, people who try to pass their pets or emotional support animals as official service animals.
- Black Comedy Rape: In one video, Drew tries to find some humor in a rape threat he received via Instagram, though he's clearly uncomfortable with it.
- "It" Is Dehumanizing: Drew takes offence to a hotel manager calling Stella a "that" in his "Kicked Out Of Hotel Because Of My Service Dog" video.
- "If you refer to a dog as a THAT, you're a serial killer."
- Mythology Gag: Drew occasionally talks about his time on America's Got Talent. The animated intro and outro show him wearing the same outfit he auditioned in — a blue vest over a T-shirt and jeans.
- Scenery Censor: Drew goes out of his way to cover any YouTube-taboo bits in his "Butt Sink" (bidet) video.
- Silent Snarker: Stella
- The Silent Bob: Stella
- Visual Pun: Drew whips out a salt shaker to announce when a video is going to get "a little salty."
- Vocal Evolution: A variant — Drew's stutter seems to be gradually getting better as the vlog continues.
- Walking the Earth: The vlog is filmed in various hotel rooms across the United States (and the occasional one in Europe), as Drew has a busy tour schedule on top of the vlog.
