Judith Anastasia “Judy” Funnie, born on March 22nd, is Doug Funnie’s elder sister. Frequently showcasing her flair for drama, she predominantly dons shades of purple and black, seldom parting with her signature beret or sunglasses.
Judy Funnie, the eccentric, beret-wearing older sister of the titular character, Doug, embodies the ’90s artistic archetype.
With her dark sunglasses, poetic inclinations, and a flair for dramatics, Judy never misses an opportunity to express herself. She thrives on creativity, continuously challenging herself and those around her to think beyond the ordinary.
Judith Anastasia “Judy” Funnie
Growing up in the Funnie family, Judy has always taken the road less traveled. While Doug, our beloved protagonist, grapples with the everyday challenges of adolescence, Judy constantly strives to carve out her unique identity.
Her often eccentric and thought-provoking performance art pieces catch many off guard but always leave a lasting impression. She’s a reminder that the path to self-discovery is riddled with audacious choices, daring art, and the courage to challenge norms.

Influence on Doug
Judy’s relationship with her younger brother Doug adds a layer of depth to her character. While she often seems to exist in her own universe, she shares profound moments with Doug, helping him navigate his own dilemmas.
Through her avant-garde lens, Judy offers Doug alternative perspectives on problems. She reinforces the idea that there’s no single “right” way to see the world or handle challenges. With Judy around, Doug learns that embracing different viewpoints enriches one’s life.
Personality
Judy Funnie starkly contrasts her younger brother, Doug. While Doug is timid, Judy exudes dramatic flair, often sharing her emotions unabashedly and theatrically, regardless of her audience. She’s both an actress and director and passionate about modern and theater arts.
Though she sometimes appears harsh or sarcastic toward Doug, even playing the antagonist occasionally, she genuinely cares for him, affectionately calling him “Dougie.” Judy knows Doug’s crush on Patti, and while Doug cherishes her, he often finds her hard to comprehend.
Judy In Doug The Movie
In the movie, Judy plays a minor role, appearing in just one scene. As Doug and Skeeter disguise Herman Melville, the Lucky Duck Lake monster, as a scuba diver and try to sneak him into Doug’s room, Doug’s mom interrupts them.
Mistaking Herman’s disguise for one of Judy’s stage costumes, she blames Judy for the muddy mess. Doug and Skeeter quickly play along and start cleaning the muddy flipper prints.
Later, Judy comes home to find the boys cleaning and sarcastically asks if someone threw up on the floor. Her mom scolds her, assuming she’s responsible for the mess. With a laugh, Judy heads upstairs, mockingly venting about being blamed for “her mess.”
The Voice Of Judy
Judy Funnie, the dramatically expressive elder sister of Doug Funnie in the cartoon “Doug,” is voiced by Becca Lish. Born Rebecca E. Lish, she provided Judy with that distinctive voice that fans of the show came to recognize and adore.
Beyond voicing Judy, Becca Lish has lent her voice to various other characters in different shows and has made a few appearances in live-action roles as well. However, for many “Doug” fans, her portrayal of Judy will always remain the most iconic.
Lish captured Judy’s artsy, often sarcastic, and dramatic nature perfectly, bringing depth to a character that became essential to the show’s dynamic. It’s a testament to her skills as a voice actor that Judy’s character remains memorable to so many fans years after the show’s original run.
