Evil Midnight Lurker suggested this in a thread titled "Idea: A Step in the Wrong Direction" back in March 2003. Read his write-up for the notion -- it's hysterical, not least because it doesn't make clear until the last sentence where Doug has wound up. Bob's reaction was, and I quote:
"Oh.
Dear.
God.
"

I'm just captivated by the idea that Doug would realize quickly that the entire world was one big parody/satire/farce, and that he was the only one who realized it, and that seen from within it wasn't funny at all.
Ties in quite nicely with his established dislike of gods.

I haven't done anything with it yet, but Lurker's writeup is so evocative... even after three years...
