Press Conference: Ford Taps Doug (the Orange Puppet) as 2012 Focus Spokesperson -- Dir. Paul Feig

In his first official appearance, Doug (the Orange Puppet Hero) responds to hard-hitting questions from the media, before managing to slip off to give an exclusive interview to one female reporter. See if John, Ford Marketing Specialist, can get his new spokesperson to start talking about the 2012 Focus and stop talking to "pretty pants."

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..."

[slapfacefilms]

looks like kermit got trapped in a tanning bed

[focusdoug]

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

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.
