Dougumentary

Dougumentary (n.) /ˌdʌɡ.jʊˈmɛn.tər.i/
A mockumentary-style film or series that chronicles the hilariously profound misadventures of a character named Douglas, blending real-life footage with exaggerated philosophical musings on trivial topics, such as the art of losing umbrellas or the ethics of double-dipping chips.
(Media) An imagined genre of documentary filmmaking pioneered by fictional director Douglas Reelwise, where everyday events are narrated with over-the-top gravitas, turning mundane activities like grocery shopping into epic quests for enlightenment, complete with dramatic slow-motion and pun-filled voiceovers.
Example: "The latest dougumentary on Netflix follows Douglas as he navigates the perils of a self-checkout lane, pondering if scanning a barcode is a metaphor for destiny while battling a rogue shopping cart."
