  2. Round 3: Nick Marshall v Robbie Gould

    in The Douchies

    Posted

    I'm in the rare position of having seen both of these and it's a difficult call.

    If there's a clear difference in terms of what's seen on screen then Nick Marshall at least attempts to right some wrongs and learns a lesson, whereas Robbie's learned nothing and has actively made things worse. Within their worlds they both have power and both exploit it and others, Nick having the advantage of magic powers.

    For me this comes down to the sheer weight of "douche-itude". Nick Marshall has had a life time of being a douche and by the end of the film has seen the error of his ways. Robbie is a young douche with a high douche-potential for the future. Might Robbie change his ways by the time he is Nick Marshall's age? In the film he, like Nick Marshall, also seems oblivious to other people's true opinion of him unless directly told (see angry Swayze and Baby's dad's realisation). In my opinion he's not going to stop being a douche unless he too gets magic powers from female cosmetics and electricity, so I vote Robbie - a Nick Marshall for the future.

  5. Round 2: Robbie Gould v Jim

    I don't know, Robbie actually thinks it's okay to thank Dr. Houseman for cleaning up his mess -- that "mess" being an unwanted pregnancy. That's worse than Jim's actions in my book.

    Really, though, I think the major difference is that Jim's slightly more of a caricature of an asshole, where as I know guys like Robbie.

    That's the sticking point of many of these for me: picking the 'douche-bag' from the pricks and fuck-tards. Jim is more of a fuck-tard (according to my definition). Robbie is a simpering little douche.

  8. Round 1: Nick Marshall v Tony Manero

    Nick was raised in a strip-club - I'd argue he knew no better either. The age thing does make sense - he should've cottoned on to what a twat he is before he was 40 - but at worst he is sexist.

    That's not to downplay sexism, but allowing rape/attempting rape is worse in my eyes.

    I vote Travolta at the bigger douche.

    I mean Tony.

    ...I mean Travolta.

    Twitch Plays Pokemon is absolutely insane. Take one guy playing Pokemon Red, and taking literally every direction from the chat. I'm pretty sure this is the modern day verison of Sisyphus.

    As of right now, they've somehow managed to get to Celadon, and they've been trying to get somewhere in the Helix (they keep going in and out) for about twenty minutes.

    So apparently I've been watching this too much and as a result last night I was sleep talking...
