Where does the “Doug” meme come from?
The character, portrayed by Joel F. Gardiner, appears in the Canadian web series Pure Pwnage. The episode titled 'FPS Doug' was released on July 19, 2004. The clip shows a teenager playing a first-person shooter and shouting 'Boom! Headshot!' after taking down an opponent.
