I loved this one, his heart was not in it, he went back to driving, something he loved. Doug was not a cubicle person.
Sooo lack of ambition.
@@bunnicula38 no, not at all. He knew what he wanted.
Poor Carrie - being stuck with this loser.
Well when they found out they were going to have kids he ended up getting a desk job anyways, selling office furniture.
@@EddyTee99 Nope: If you look carefully at the ending, he is wearing his UPS uniform. Only Carrie had to make the sacrifices. He is an insufferable fat lout.
I love Doug in this one. I served in the military for 4 years, medically discharged and now I’m an Amazon driver. Can’t do office jobs. Love my job, love driving my van, and I love delivering smiles.
Love when the Amazon guy shows up. It's like Christmas... Santa Claus is here lol.
Amazon driver? Isn't that a very physically challenging job?
@@JF32304 Agree! One of the few ppl that others are pleased to see. Job satisfaction!
Literally the reason I didn't go to college...I hate suit and tie....I don't own a single one..I now own my own semi and make more money than my siblings than went to college..they call me to borrow $$$
Thank you for your Service !!!
The best part of this episode is when Doug was at home getting ready to leave for work and Arthur started going at him for being a "manager"...going to look for that clip now!
Just thinking of that scene right now made me laugh.
@@toeey14 *Arthur Spooner:* “Well, well, well, there he is all dressed up for his first day as a management lackey…”
@@soul76can Did you find the clip?
@@toeey14 Yes. Probably my favourite King Of Queens scene or at least one of them… czcams.com/video/k6VnRy5jb4A/video.html
@@soul76can Thats it! Thank you so much. Hilarious
What’s funny is at the end, Deacon takes over the position(Doug ended up quitting) and didn’t like it either 😄
He was a generous supervisor.
the key is to not to do your job too well, if they promote you, they lose their best person for that current position.
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH SHIT 🤯 IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW
You only ever do one above the bare minimum. Meet your quota plus one, and they can’t argue
@@coke378 Remarkable, it does.
I loved The Hill Street Blues reference in the beginning. Let's be careful out there.
I love this show , I watch it every night. Doug cracks me up.Carry is so Pretty.
You are pretty. Show is great
Good boss can’t be good friend at work , only after work
I always wished he stayed a supervisor.
Nah not interesting enough as a show
I prefer Sam McMurray as O'Boyle
Plus, Doug wasn't cut out for it!
Deacon was the best person for the job and Doug was the best person to drive his truck 🚛🚒
Well, that your opinion.
I'm eating more and I'm not moving lol.
Good tv show.
Right. They just don’t make comedies like this anymore. I could watch it over and over and still laugh . The jokes never get old.
3:06 This part makes me absolutely lose it lmaoo
Sorry Deacon ' But you're staring in a tv show in which Doug is the designated King
Here is an Irony..one of the meaning of the name Deacon is Servant! Not kidding!
Deacon as a boy's name is pronounced DEE-ken. It is of Greek origin, and the meaning of Deacon is "dusty one; servant; messenger".
@@Heart2HeartBooks they knew what they we're doing when they casted him.
I thought his boss name was O'Boyle
He's an Irishman?
@ChildofGodFirst like the one who fought in the battle of the Bulge?
We got a few experts here
@ChildofGodFirst *THIS ONES FOR O’SHANNON*
I think Deacon was out of line here. As far as I am aware Doug never undercut Deacon in any way to be offered the position. Doug is who the higher ups chose. I can understand Deacon feeling a bit upset about the decision, but I can't understand why he is upset at Doug about it when the decision wasn't Doug's decision to make. Deacon wouldn't have turned down the opportunity if it was offered to him, so he can't really be angry or upset at Doug for not turning down the opportunity that was offered to him.
Started not to reply here but from your comment I know you're not Black and would be hard for you to understand because you are looking at this from a perspective that gives you no clue how he feels! I am in my sixties and Black and it was common practice for Black people who were qualified or even better qualified to get passed over for promotion. No, he's not mad at Doug he's just bitter about the thought that it could have been racial! Today it's a totally different story and by no means the way it use to be! People who support BLM are ignorant to the facts and these young kids have no clue what racism was really like! Companies understand that the bottom line is what you bring in and they want to get the most for their money and if they see that the person is Black, Asian, Hispanic or whatever they'll probably put that person in the position! There is more opportunity than ever for anyone to succeed and if they don't then I would question their effort! Does racism still exist, sure there are some not liking another for their color but like Polio it will soon be eradicated!
Nah. Deacon was right to say something. Doug really wasn't the most qualified nor the most senior.
It literally looked like a race thing.
Deacon also has seniority over Doug. Remember, Deacon was working when Doug went in to hide from Carrie when he lied about having a job
@brown Lee, you & the other commenters in this thread are missing the point. Doug was not the one who made the decision. He was simply asked if he wanted to take on the job & he accepted. Whether or not the decision was racially motivated is up for debate, but even if it was racially motivated, that was not Doug's doing. So for Deacon to take it out on Doug is unfair of Deacon. If he has a problem with the decision, then he needs to address it with the right people (ie, the people who made the decision).
Everyone is making valid points but it really is not Doug’s fault. He just took a job he was offered.
Those shorts are way too short.
Ok😂🤣😂
What a pal. Instead of saying congrats plays the race card. USA in a nutshell, cant get away from it EVER.
Deacon is the better driver, so better let him keep driving and make doug the supervisor.
Yeah i work nights in retail store and one the reasons i like it is i get the freedom to walk around instead of a office job where i would have to sit at a desk looking at a computer for 8 to 10 hours a day no thank you id go nuts
Blacks will always feel something!!! They are extremely sensitive
especially Deacon
@@cumexolaf3276He should Go Back to Africa, i agree
Cameron gets joy modern family.
Deacon Palmer playin' the race card . Fight the Power Deke !
He wouldn't need to play the race card if racists didn't exist. Just a little food for thought.
@@mikod9683 What about all the other white guys who work there who didn't get this job? Maybe there is sth. other than race that made them and Deacon not get the job.
@@stuckonautomatic Based on what the white man in the beginning of this episode told Deacon and Doug, the main reason those two were even being considered for that position over all the others was because those two had been working there the longest. The other people there were not even a consideration for that position since it was being based on tenure. So if it was indeed being based on tenure, then Deacon should have definitely been their first choice since he had been working there longer than Doug. Remember the episode where Doug and Carrie were reminiscing about how they met. Doug didn't have a job during the time they started dating and was too embarrassed to tell Carrie. For some reason they happened to be near the company where Deacon worked one day and Doug pretended to work there. He went inside the building and met Deacon that day and begged him to lie to Carrie and tell her that he worked there when she told him she would be stopping by his job later on that day to see him. So Deacon definitely deserved to be considered for that position way before Doug for several reasons. The whole message behind this episode was to depict a real life illustration of work place discrimination against black people.
@@mikod9683 I get what you mean. I didn't recall all the details of that episode so thanks for freshing that up (without the toxicity and name calling that's become usual on youtube ;) ).
@@stuckonautomatic 👍🏾🙂
They say "It's lonely at the top."
It`s not a race thing. When you are too good at your job your boss doesn`t want to promote you coz they lose their best guy and it hurts them personally. If you are the best at your job you`re never getting promoted.
I never understood this "UPS" uniform...shorts and jackets? After all, was it cold or hot?
In Queens NY, it's both. Hot in the summer and cold in the winter.
Wasn’t there another episode where Doug and Deacon become co supervisors while the boss goes to rehab?
Haha yup
Except "Not so good" is another way of saying "He's not doing any better/not coming back."
In my job the same thing ima be boss soon.
oh boil looks kind of different
Good observation
O'Boyle 😅
Didn't know that Bas Rutten worked for IPS.
Doug was just more likeable in my opinion. Dude just built good connections, has nothing to do with race. I could be wrong though lol
I agree he was a peoples person.
Deacon actually started working at that company before Doug. In the throwback memory episode of how Doug and Carrie first met, Doug pretended to work there when he lied to Carrie about having a job. That episode showed him meeting Deacon for the first time when he asked Deacon to go along with his lie after Carrie stopped by. So technically Deacon should've been considered for that position over Doug, but I know firsthand how things like this goes so Deacon was definitely right to be suspicious of why he wasn't considered first for that position.
@@mikod9683 I agree
I've obviously seen that episode being a King of Queens... junkie 😂 just love the show......love to laugh ...😂 But yes I agree with you .
I've never understood racism....yes we have it here in Australia too but I still don't get it.
@@lovelyirish6624 💕
@josef abek he probably would be the better boss. But nowadays it comes down to connections. And doug did that. He spent more times with the boss than deacon. For example, when deacon planned that trip to Atlantic city and doug spent it mainly with him throughout it and also played tennis with him and his wife. It all comes down to recommendations. And of course the guy recommended someone he possibly saw as a friend.
I don't like being that close to the overseers
been thru the same thing, being on the road, nobody looking over your shoulder, (well now with the gps and i-phones that's all changed, they know where you're at every second of the day) on second thought all those jobs suck, be different if they paid you what you're worth. *SOLIDARITY FOR THE FIGHT TO UNIONIZE AMAZON!*
You guys should get a big bonus every time Amazon makes record sales. That would be sweet.
@Mr. Foxo you mean like the boss does?
Because everything has to be about race... LOL!
Yipz! 🙄
Jackets and shorts weird to me
That's what Hollywood does plays the race card
Chrysler New Yorker aka Dodge Deplomat that's with out a GED 10 Texas Education !!
Its a great excuse for deacon. Why would they hire in the first place then?
This is the episode I stopped liking this tv show.
Angela Merkel was a ruthless dictator indeed 👎
been there, hated it, there's a freedom in being on a route... or there was, not anymore with gps and cell phones, they sit there and watch you, a computer tracks your movements, with many companies they use computers to maximize your route so your freedom is completely gone, it's like being inside with someone looking over your shoulder all day, only worse, you have to deal with traffic and the public.
where the heck is that??? I was driving for 4 different companies so far. None of them had a tracking device.
@@cumexolaf3276 idk who you worked for but gps tracking is everywhere now.
Are blacks offended that people prefer to work with their own? A Chinese would also hire or promote a Chinese over an Indian if they had same scores
hate doug
That is so bull kaka
It seems like when a black person takes charge the ship never runs right again
What?

2:37 This is so sad and so true, even the arabs in germany feel also that way.
Shuch a boring show I prefer Seinfeld eny time of the day😅
The writing on Seinfeld was certainly far superior
I really hated how Deacon acted in this one.
