Doug being a good sport, and supportive of Zach, Mike, and Oneyplays in general is getting him massive W's. Guy knows how to take a joke, especially he makes them so often. Smiling Friends in general really feels like a love letter to the internet age of NG and early youtube not only in comedy but also the spirit. Between Zach and Chris being involved naturally, but also the cameos and artists who are working on the show itself. Twitter being a huge boon where artists are posting which scenes they worked on openly so everyone can see and appreciate it all. It really feels like one big effort made between the animators/actors that feels really heartwarming.

The thing with Oneyplays and their riff and "mockery" on Nostalgia Critic and Linkara is that if you think about it, you'd have to really follow the two acts and care enough to dig deep to imitate and make fun of them in the first place. In other words, Oneyplays crew have watched both a lot to be able to draw up so many material to make fun of. It's understandable that you might take offense to the mockery, but you also realize they spent a lot of time watching and following your content to be able to formulate said mockery.

There actually WAS a period where he didn’t like the Oneyplays guys, but I think over time (unlike linkara, lol) he realized the teasing came from an ultimately harmless place, and kinda also a place of respect. Even when they rag on him, people like Julian and DingDong would still say that there were reviews of his that were legitimately good, they just found his approach in a lot of other ones missed the mark. But they’ve always admitted that he’s good at reviewing things when he does more research, and doesn’t try so hard to overanalyze and overreact.

Not sure where you heard he didn’t like them, but it is believable as most people reactions at first tend to be “They’re mocking me? How dare they!” And yes, sometimes it is hard to tell the difference loving teasing and hate-filled jabs. But from what I’ve seen, it really is nothing to get angry over, and seems ultimately like harmless fun. In other words, good on Doug for not making Oney his enemies.
