[megawolf7]

DOUG TV SHOW!!!!

[i2slick4u20]

i love this...i love this ad campaign... i'm a toyota fan boy but this ad is so amazing it even made me like the ford focus... lol

[UEGGaara]

OMG this is tooo much. It should be a show. or a movie!!

[Theindependentfilmer]

Please Please Please make this into a show. Or a movie. Or both. I'm good with either.

[amberts]

lol Pretty Pants... My husband works at Ford.... he needs to show everyone this!!

[YKC0R1]

is that OJ?

[timmaxio1]

OH and I drive a Focus. and when people ask what I drive, I reply "a piece of shit" go-kart engine on an ugly frame/body

[Akid0Kag3]

@timmaxio1 It's kinda your fault for buying it.

[timmaxio1]

@Akid0Kag3 not when it was bought for me..

[Akid0Kag3]

@timmaxio1 Should've asserted ur choice. Be happy you got a car.

[timmaxio1]

so what does a fucking puppet have to do with cars? oh right, nothing.. just another attempt at a few cheap laughs

[416nWild]

That thing looks like charmander. Cool though

[CrazyCoyote92]

i dont why but that orange puppet reminds me of Mr Ozio.

[Hothandslionman]

Paul F. Tompkins for the fucking win

[faisalOrb1]

Who owns the focusdoug account? Is it ford?

[demonjrules]

I love Doug.

[rook89281]

Wow. Ford is really pushing the envelope with this. Not your typical family values conservative approach. That said, I love this. It's funny as hell. Keep it up. I love big companies taking a risk. Thinking outside the box instead of being safe.

[DearLillith09]

@focusdoug

Ford is nice. I mean, Daddy has a 2002 Taurus. But Volkswagen Beetles are just SO CUTE!!! If the Focus were as cute as you, maybe....

Also, does the Focus come with any snacks? Snacking whilst driving is the way of the future, my orange-worm-puppet-spokesperso­n-hero-friend!

[Revelatio86]

IS THIS STUFF EVEN REAL!? ........whatever, I've seen the features of this vehicle and everything about this without the usual ad crap that bores me and annoys me into no longer watching the ads....but wow, I'm totally gonna buy this car! sweet features and everything!

[tapleyman]

they should make a movie about all of this stuff with doug about doug

[rmart1192]

-"Do you have a valid socail security number?!"

-"Uhhh I got a few, i mean...."

LOL doug just might be mexican =p

[akanafan]

@rmart1192 HE IS,SAME AS ME!!!HAHAHAHHAAH

[camera146]

pause at 0:33 so sad abd ruins dreams :'(

[IndyB25]

Why not get Ken Block on a Ford Commercial?

[deathwalker8000]

Lol Doug is amazing

[ICEYB4LLS]

little big planet?...in real life?...

[DCowboy500]

@ICEYB4LLS I was thinking "best charmander ever" in real life

[Anuraginator]

40 MPG not real!

[glitterrainbow1]

Is this real or are they just acting?

[RONDOC68]

Two hot girls in a shower lady....nice!!...real nice!!!!!

[Stevelord666]

Doug is way better then Histunay Miku or whatever the hell her name is.

[scionicspectre]

I'm surprised at how... good this is. Like, it's good because it knows how bad it is.

[DRUCOOLVIBER22]

Charmander

[glossyxokizzez]

"it seems that way because i have those skills." lmao doug is a clever asshole

[Axron77]

youre so cute

[KobeLakersKobeLakers]

"I think it seems that way because I have those skills" LOL

[Ofar]

what does the puppet say at 1.34 in the clip ?

[focusdoug]

@Ofar I think the incredibly handsome guy at 1:34 said, "I mean, I was saving people left and right..."

[Ofar]

@focusdoug

hi - actually after he says 'in my opinion .........

just cant get the next bit

[dukat03]

@Ofar

"when is someone going to recognize this"

[MichaelGaijin]

You guys have a very Vince Vaughn and Jon Favreau dynamic happening. Doug does the Vince thing and John does the Jon thing (LOL). At times Doug gets a little Robert Downy Jr as Tony Stark thing going. Love it!

[bkobusingye]

lol "thats not my ear..."

[jl4e23]

"Do they make wingman of the year awards? Because if the do, you are never going to see one of them".

[yesrelationthesequel]

I love this!!!!

[DrowFighterMage]

DOUG YOU'RE A GENIUS! IF YOU HAD LADY-PARTS I'D POUND YOU! 

[Xenore]

my ability to capitalize, spell, or punctuate correctly should not draw away from my point. these commercials have a brain softening effect. I feel bad for those simple minds entertained by this, and for everyone else I share your anguish. the stop Doug now campaign starts here.

[2014michigan]

@Xenore This is the best marketing campaign I've ever seen. Just as good if not better than the Geico commercials. Tell me, when you think of insurance, what companies do you think of first? The ones with the ads that you actually remember. And the ones that you remember are the funny ones. I've watched every Doug commercial they've made and have laughed ever time. It's how marketing works, you have to catch the audience's attention.

[2014michigan]

@Xenore Because of these ads people have actually looked at the new Focus. And since it really is a good car many people will end up buying it so these ads have done exactly what they were intended to do, get people to consider Ford's new car.

[slapfacefilms]

looks like kermit got trapped in a tanning bed

[focusdoug]

@slapfacefilms I actually prefer spray tan if I'm going to fake it.

[kraiden3]

wow that sounds vague and made up... LMAO

[ngodmode]

This was too funny.... "the cooler is here!" :) I may not like Ford, but I watched everyone of the Doug spots and I have to say that I laughed and I picked up some key point about the new Ford Focus as well... good job.

[focusdoug]

@ngodmode I'm going to print this out and show it to John. "See, John, 'key points about the new Ford Focus.'" Then I'm going to make him eat the piece of paper. Fibrous revenge.

[Xenore]

this whole marketing campaign is the dumbest appeal to lowest common denomination of intelligence and is the perfect example for everything wrong with out country. these commercials make me embarrassed to be an American and whoever directed and propagated this atrocity should be put out of their misery

[focusdoug]

@Xenore Grammar/sentence construction police here. You're officially fined. Other than that, I'll make sure to take that "Bridesmaids" director out back and shoot him.

[superflyaaron]

@Xenore I think people that go on YouTube and complain about car commercials is what's wrong with our country...

[jwrosenbury]

A car comercial with no car? Are they even trying to compete?

[Seiga]

"That bothered me a little bit too...

Just a little a bit?

A LOT A BIT"

hahaha

[ilaffed]

THUMBS UP IF YOU THINK THIS SHOULD BE MADE INTO A PRIME TIME SHOW!! DAMMIT FORD, GM HAS TRANSFORMERS, MAKE DOUG A NEW HIT SERIES!!!

[DisturbedRenegade]

@ilaffed. I hope they would be better at that than they are at building cars.

[TheHiLiteShow7]

lol

[glossyxokizzez]

hilarious!!!!

[thedirtydime]

"ill call you pretty pants! pretty pants go!!" lmfao!

[SaveTheMooses]

Every person involved with these ads is the best person ever.

[DanytheElite]

why are you so cute doug

[chilich33z]

what dumbass came up with this. Sell fucking cars you morons.

[focusdoug]

@chilich33z Language!

[DeTr0iTiGeRs]

@chilich33z its called marketing there smart one, which helps them sell cars so who's the moron again?

[jpalmz92]

@chilich33z they are selling cars, dumbass..... its called a fucking MARKETING CAMPAIGN.

[DisturbedRenegade]

@chilich33z. The sad thing is American are stupid enough to buy a new $20,000 car because of this.

[shadowslayerDP]

couldnt stop laughing omg xD too funny

[DARKSAMURAI713]

Doug you're my hero man lol!

[chicago618]

Cmon Doug you can do better than pretty pants

[vittogs]

"Do they make wingman of the year trophies? Because if so, you will never see what one looks like." PRICELESS!

[DavKellar]

What a brilliant commercial

[focusdoug]

@DavKellar Its brilliance is only matched by your brilliant taste in internet videos.

[yellow1fox22]

Doug should be the replacement for the Paul Reiser Show.

[gamerjohnny7]

PRETTY PANTZ!!!

[corporatewhorin]

this is surprisingly hilarious. better than most tv shows it would be shown as a spot on!

[drelotter]

who dislikes this? These videos are funny!

[BCZF]

Paul F Tompkins as the voice of Doug. Listen to the Wolf Den podcast where he talks about the making of these ads..

[BCZF]

Paul F Tompkins as the voice of Doug

[TheMistaSteve]

Wow, this guy wipes the floor with that newt or whatever lizard thing it is that Geico has. Very funny!

[swetfdeeee]

"I wanted to know if he's going to be clothed at any point." haha

[RandomTask3000]

Does that puppet sound like Paul F. Tompkins to anyone else?

[aqureshi7]

The black guy looks like a cross of Barack Obama and O.J. Simpson

[LightspeedNetwork]

lol you can see the puppet master's hair @0:31

[frunkiss]

ejection seat, smoke screen, oil slick.............. license plate changer.

[elcapitanmorgan556]

"wow that sounds vague and made up" haha

[CWalker4Real]

chevy is going to fucking steal this

[NQQnenosme]

Chevy should try some of this

[wesley2332]

holy shit, this is better then giecos cave men

[wesley2332]

holy shit, this is better then giecos gave men

[gilital8]

funny doll

[akidforever92]

that guy is from big bang theory

[kevinbrueck]

Glad to see a company like Ford "getting it". "It" being social media. Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to retweet this funny ass video to my 2,900 twitter followers.

[usernamenamehere]

haha, anybody else notice the that 2 of the links in the description lead to the same video? (rescued a heart attack victim, and saved a choking woman)

[suchity]

Nice conference ... we must use this innovative idea even in our business meeting...what say BOSS!!!

[jjason1902]

hey puppet is sounding so funny and its sooo cute

[deandreshepley99]

Dear Doug: You inspired me :) <3 love it.

[pcabo123]

haha stop being so sexy Doug, I can't control myself ;)

[MrCunninghaml]

Doug u such an amazing sweethearttttt1 this is awesome <3

[cretchen09]

Doug is amazing! going over and over again to see it.

[RuizHarper]

The pretty lady, what's her name?

[rubin69]

cool video

[ortcloud99]

Its amusing, but would I forward it and share it to make it go viral ? hmmmm. no, Its just not there yet. Sorry, I mean its cute, but a mini giraffe is cuter.

[dbfh53]

good for you Ford. Excellent work.

[randomdude5640]

Dare I say it......... does ford...... care about their image now?

[ColinResponseTO]

This is hilarious! LOL!

[luch89]

Hilarious!!! cant wait for the next series of clips.

[jgonzz10028]

Is that John Ennis?

[midsizeb]

@jgonzz10028 i thought so too...

[C3PiLLiN]

This is just sad. Terrible, terrible, terribad.

[Supraman352]

That was not funny at all. What a failed attempt by Ford - clearly a group of old guys trying to be "hip" and use "the Twitter and the Face-Book".

[keshido]

Thank you, Thank you all thank you, especially you!

"I will call you..... pretty pants! Pretty pants go"

"...it seems that way because i have those skills"

MARKETING GENIOUS!!!!!

[JeffSmithAutocom]

More DOUG! More DOUG!

[7SearchPPC]

This is hilarious! Kudos to Ford!

[biachech14]

Hilarious!



[awindnamedamnesia]

Wow! Kind of cool to see ex-QVC host Dave King in this commercial.

[sgenser]

Fantastic lol

[ninjaspion]

I WANT MORE DOUG!

[nowthatsfunny1]

Should've just named the puppet dumb.

[thedonvespe]

He looks like Zippy from Rainbow

[Ryoku75]

...I still have no interest in the focus, and if I didn't watch the video I'd mistake the puppet for some random guy trying to be a comedian.

[wildcatford1]

Love it!! Cant wait to see more from Ford

[wildcatford1]

Love it

[hejcoze]

Brilliant idea to bring one of the most popular Fords from Europe to America. What's next?

But I prefer Kermit as a driver.

[sonofmac26]

Wow....gotta love the new approach.

Very funny!

[trevorbgoss]

I've told 8 people about this and emailed it too... can't say I've done that for a Ford ad before. Genius campaign on Ford's part.

[bimzilla]

I love Doug's personality.

[KiddsockTV]

Sad. just sad. It's not Viral till the Internet says it is Viral.

[kashi373]

@KiddsockTV I'm pretty sure it's facetious/sarcasm.

[KiddsockTV]

@kashi373 True, but so is my comment. lol PLus I am a REAL Puppet!!

[brianeden]

And a new advertising icon is born. Well done to the team who created this.

[BL331978]

This actually has some serious funny potential.  Nicely done.
