I think it’s also somehow meant to be “funny” that Doug is Jewish and Neanderthal-brutish, which is probably a slur on Neanderthals but is, in the hormonal-teenage-boy calculus of this “comedy,” something of a fist-bump to Jews, apparently. He is a minor-league-hockey player, in the narrowest sense of the term: he’s on the ice to beat up opposing players and indulge the fans’ lust for gladiatorial blood sports on the ice. We’re meant to find him “sweet,” even though he beats up people for a living. He’s not very bright - he stumbles over uttering his own name in one scene, and it’s not that hard: Doug Glatt. So, Seann William Scott ( Cop Out) is sort of like Forrest Gump.
