Psh, playing the villain(or the douche, if they're not the same thing) is the easiest and the most fun, in my opinion.

But Graham does do a very good job. I think it's something about his voice. Or maybe he's just a good actor in that department.

It's a fun character for me to play, because it's out of type.
Since Sacred Duty, I can really only think of this video and Hanging. Are there others?

While not the character as a whole, there's the apple bit you've done a couple of times.

Maybe Time is Money? Nah, you just accidentally did Nate in, so I don't think that quite counts.

"What's this?"
"An apple?"
"Ok...now who am I?"

cH ep 2.

Also (Assuming that cH is based very much in reality), that's Jer's house/apartment right? Jer...are those things in the background stairs, drawers or some kind of ungodly stair-drawer hybrid?

I love the meta-jokes in here, that I'm assuming weren't at all intentional, and only funny to me. Namely, Jer's apartment playing as Graham's apartment with Jer visiting, and Ash, who has previously played a lawyer playing Jer's girlfriend, while Tally, Jer's actual girlfriend, plays the lawyer. For some reason I find the small reversals like that incredibly funny.

Also, is it wrong to have immediately recognized the map as a map of Moscow?

Douche Graham is funny but one problem is now no one will ever take you serious if you WANT to be a douche IRL.

Unless I'm mistaken, it does have the name of the city running along the top, albeit in Russian. And I'm also not aware of too many cities with that circular road layout. There are certainly very few in the US.
Is it safe?

I didn't notice the lawyer reversal. Thanks for pointing it out. It's been too long since I watched through the archive.

Wil Wheaton, please stop making Graham a douche.

Graham: Those are the ones that came to mind for me also, however I can't think of any good examples of your douchery BEFORE Sacred Duty, which is more my thought on the matter.

Can anyone else?

I'm gonna say "is this a date", not so much a douche, but along the same vein (also, i just really like the graham/james combo in that)
I think what makes it awesome when graham takes the douche roll, is that he generally plays it naturally, and also cleverly.
Maybe he's sort of it in son of a bitch?

maybe he's done it more now because his "leader" role is used in CH now, so they want to do dofferent roles outside of it?

Graham did a douche roll for this video and got a natural 20. What they didn't tell you was that he was using a 6 sided die.

My stairs are drawers, and yes, they are totally functional. You can see me open one at the end of "The Return of Bill". The map on the wall is of Moscow (labeled "Mockbà"), and was printed in East Germany circa 1964. I have a map of Berlin in my attic from around the same era, tough it's not stylized like the one on my wall.
