** He sounds truly scared when he thinks he's losing his joke-making ability. [[Harsher in Hindsight|And later episodes explain why]].

* His suicide and the circumstances around it in Spoony's ''[[Captain America]]'' review was a bit distressing. How would you react if one of your friends casually revealed to the internet that he dressed you up in an humiliatingly objectifying outfit while he was raping you and is using the pictures for blackmail?

* A fridge one at the end of ''[[Quest for Camelot]]''. He says that [[Mary Poppins]] was his childhood idol. A [[Troubled Child]] would rather be "practically perfect in every way".

* In their review of ''Troll IV'', Snob and Phelous aren't all that happy to see him drunk and vulnerable. And these aren't the most empathetic of men so that means a lot.

* Maybe not to the point of tears, but did anyone want to give him a hug when he was so ''delighted'' that another person (Lupa in this instance) actually listened to him for once, only to have a [[Yank the Dog's Chain]]?

** It also shows you that he really does want to be a better person by how quickly he gets a whole new outlook just because he was listened to, it's just life keeps screwing him over.

** Lupa herself becomes quite [[The Woobie]] when she accepts that the Critic doesn't want her help reviewing ''Simon Sez''. It turns out she's faking because she likes him to suffer as much as anyone else, but it's still a bit moving.

* In the ''[[Patch Adams]]'' review, his horror at the idea that he'd just been mocking a real person who was molested as a kid, and murdered. Everything turns out fine when it turns out to be a shockingly tasteless piece of [[They Just Didn't Care]], but it's another indication of how Doug could have a serious acting career if he wanted to.
