Douglas

"Douglas! Douglas!"

Douglas is a random name that Strong Bad used during cheat talk to test the speech ability of The Cheat, because a viewer could not understand what The Cheat was saying, but to no avail. Strong Mad couldn't say "Douglas" either, but Strong Sad did when Strong Bad slammed his keyboard into him. The branch outside Strong Bad's window in his computer room makes a sound like "Douglas" by scraping against the window. Later, in Strong Bad email sibbie in an Easter egg, Strong Mad successfully says Douglas, so Strong Bad gives him a gold star.

The variant Doug has also been used several times.
