I love him mocking a Mohawk while he’s got that shimmering rug dangling from his dome.

Awesome post, had no idea Doug was such a dream date, cell mate poster boy.

[u/faceintheblue]

That mullet was both unexpected and totally on brand. Also, his Massachusetts accent is so strong here! I can't imagine Stanhope ever taking elocution lessons to lose it. I guess 30 years away from home and it just faded away?

Very "So I says to the guy, I says..."

Great debut.

He's like a skinny Peter Griffen

[u/Templar_Ace]

Wow, the mullet has fallen by the wayside yet his edge is as sharp now as it was then.

[u/MunDaneCook]

I love that Smokey manages to mispronounce Worcester two ways, so Doug intentionally mispronounces Robinson like any other smartass masshole would do

[u/blastfighter]

Man, that accent is thick. He sounds like a Seth MacFarlane character.

Business in the front.
