Duggie

Duggie (or Ya Boi Duggie as teased by the crew) will be the human puppet reincarnation of Black Yoshi.

Duggie is yet to actually make an appearance in a video in human form, due to the fact that his final puppet is still being worked on by the same designers of all the other human puppets. Up until now, all of his appearances had him appear in the form of Black Yoshi. While there is still no official Duggie puppet, a custom design of him (which is actually a PNG of the Joseph puppet that was edited in Photoshop to make it resemble Black Yoshi) is circling around the internet as it has been since January 2021, and has since been used in the human puppet remakes of the video thumbnails on SuperBowserLogan which were made by the thumbnail community on Instagram and noticed, as well as used, by Logan himself. During Logan's process of replacing all of his old thumbnails with the human ones, the public had come across the first official confirmation of the name Duggie. However, Duggie is not the only character to have an unofficial human design used in these new thumbnails, as a custom Toad design had also been used for the thumbnail remake of The Baseball Game, but that was another edit of the Joseph puppet, and the official design for Toad (now named Lil T) had been revealed to the public about a month later. On the topic of said revelation, it had been on the same day and in the same video that Duggie was first mentioned on camera by the crew, not to mention that a prototype of his puppet had been described, but was not shown on screen. The description of this prototype appeared to match a mysterious puppet designed in the same style as the human puppets which was seen in the background of the behind the scenes for Junior Tries To Get Grounded, which worried fans since the puppet spotted was white-skinned, which goes against the fact that Black Yoshi is a black stereotype. Logan also stated in the aforementioned video confirming Lil T's design that Duggie "won't be able to make half the jokes he's ever made", presumably having referred to jokes such as the ones about Black Yoshi eating fried chicken and watermelon, which if Duggie really were to appear white, really couldn't be done anymore. What further concerns fans in this regard is the fact that Black Yoshi is black and played by Lance, who is white. Lance, however, also plays Boukisha, Chiquita, and D-Money, all three of which are black stereotypes, but none as heavy as Black Yoshi. This puts the fate of the character of Duggie in danger due to how the overall sensitivity of the internet regarding racial stereotypes (even if only done for comedy purposes) has recently increased, and due to the widespread existence of cancel culture. The last that has been seen of Black Yoshi was in The 6th Ring, which was uploaded on January 16th, 2021 on SuperBowserLogan, making it over a year since he has been last used for an SML video, making fans all the more anxious for his return as Duggie, which may still not be very soon due to the crew's insecurity regarding the character's fate.
