So, what’s so great about “Dude That’s my Ghost”? I’m not saying it’s awful, but I’m curious what makes it so great.

I’m sure most DTMG fans can vouch for me when I say that the show isn’t the best ever produced, despite all the amazing fanart, fanfics and deep headcanons and theories made about it. It never aired in the US, just in the UK and Canada on BBC Kids and Disney XD, respectively, back in 2013 and only had one season with 52 episodes.

It’s a silly, plot-less comedy show made by Robotboy’s creator, Jan Van Rijsselberg, that centers around the ghost of former rock star, Baruch “Billy Joe Cobra” Cohen, who is a parody of Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong, trying to live his afterlife as if he was still the biggest star who had ever lived, having his start of fame at around 12 years old.

Unfortunately for Billy, who thrives off of attention, he is unable to be seen or heard by everyone unless they wear something that belongs to him. We don’t know how he died, only that Billy died between the ages of 19-27. Popular theories include drive-by shooting, electrocution, and murder.

Most of the episodes consists of Billy’s antics and blatant narcissism causing all sorts of trouble on the lives of his cousin, Spencer Wright-an aspiring horror filmmaker/director-and his friends, Shanilla and Rajeev Bugwatti. 

Spencer’s family had inherited Billy’s mansion and does their best to fit in with their new, rich lifestyle while still acting like a suburban family.

Spencer and Billy have a pretty close relationship, as well…so much so that the majority of the fandom ships them. Spencer really is the only person Billy can reign his ego in and will do almost anything for.

There’s also the frequent attempt of a superfan of Billy’s trying to capture his ghost to keep in her shrine via her henchman.

It’s pretty silly but the episodes are still a lot of fun and animated decently with Flash. Not to mention the music that can be heard (Billy’s singing voice, for example, as well as the background and transition music) is pretty dang good.

I’d highly recommend it if you’re not too set on shows with plotlines and just want some chuckles. Billy is the best part of the show, obviously! 

He gets very creative with his bro-puns and the show is chalk full of them!

Okay, I know I should prolly save this till I actually get to the episode in question, but....I wanna talk about it now.

In Episode 27, “Little Billy”, Spencer gets his mom a small doll of Billy for her birthday, specifically stating that the fact Billy’s her distant cousin is one of the reasons why it’d be the perfect gift for her.

And that’s something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately. Billy is Jane’s relative. Her dead relative. Of all of the people in the house, Jane is the one most closely connected to Billy in terms of family. To her, he is really gone, permanently.

I wonder if, after the episode finishes and she’s alone with the toy, if she ever looks at it and silently mourns.

Mourns because she never really knew him, mourns because he was family-less, alone, prior to his death, mourns because he was taken far too soon from the world, mourns because this little doll with his real hair is the only piece of him she’ll ever truly have and the closest she’ll have ever truly been to him. Mourns the loss of a piece of her family she hadn’t known she had until it was too late.

Because even if you hadn’t known them, hadn’t been apart of their lives, it still hurts to loose them. Distant family is still family.

Jane doesn’t play with the doll. She doesn’t cut its hair, she merely styles it into the way its supposed to be. It sits on a shelf along with the other precious knickknacks and handmade gifts her children and husband have given to her over the years. Jewelry from long-passed grandmothers, dogtags from slain uncles and grandfathers, a ceramic plate handed down to her from her mother depicting the details of her own birth. These memoirs of her family, both still with her and not, all collected into one place where she can admire and remember them, because they’re all worth honoring.

The doll doesn't look out of place at all. It’s always belonged there.

Imagine Billy letting Toddler!Spencer and Baby!Jessica hold or play with Wendy, even swim with her, when she was still a baby. He takes pics and videos while Jane and Hugh are in the background just barely hiding their panic and extreme urge to take their kids back to Kansas.
