(2) Joaquin Phoenix
What Makes Him A Douchebag:
There's rumors that Joaquin's new mumbling, bearded persona is some sort of prank. I'm not sure what would make him a bigger douchebag, actually doing what he's doing, or pretending to be doing what he's doing.
 
VS
 
(15) The Shamwow Guy
What Makes Him A Douchebag:
Why are infomercial salesman so popular now? I bought the Shamwow and you know what? It sucks.
 
 
 (Note: Voting results are slightly delayed.)
 
 
(2) Barry Bonds
What Makes Him A Douchebag:  
Aside from being a complete and total asshole to anyone and everyone who came near him, he (allegedly) lied about taking steroids, even though his body and head grew to sizes normally reserved for a Lord Of The Rings film. And after several perjury hearings and investigations, he let his friend go to jail for him. Any time you let someone face the possibility of daily ass rapings, you’re a douche.
 
VS

(15) David Beckham
What Makes Him A Douchebag: 
He vowed to make soccer popular in America, then after he realized that was never going to happen he organized a deal where he could play here as little as possible.  That coupled with the fact that he spends more time shopping then he does actually playing, solidifies his status as an underwear modeling, sometimes soccer playing douche.
 
 (Note: Voting results are slightly delayed.)
 
 
 
(2) AIG
What Makes It A Douchebag:
After receiving it’s first $70 billion in bailout money, AIG executives spent $500,000 to take a luxury Santa Barbara vacation. And last week it was revealed that after taking more than $170 billion in taxpayer money AIG paid out $165 million in bonuses to the very people who gambled the entire company away. Hey AIG, suck my balls.
 
VS
 
(15) Steve Ballmer
What Makes Him A Douchebag:
No one has ever seen this guy calm or quiet. Except maybe when looking at Google’s stock price, Zune sales, Vista complaints and Justice Department subpoenas.
 
 
 (Note: Voting results are slightly delayed.)
 
 
 
(2) Rob Blagojevich
What Makes Him A Douchebag:
Seriously. Who thinks that they can sell a senate seat? Who does that? The city of Chicago and the state of Illinois have been plagued by political corruption for decades, to the point that it’s become a fully acknowledged joke about the state’s political climate. In subsequent interviews following his impeachment, it’s pretty obvious that “Blago” is completely insane. He doesn’t think that he did anything wrong, and is incredibly full of himself. That’s basically the definition of douchebaggery.
 
VS
 
(15) Glenn Beck
What Makes Him A Douchebag:
Glenn Beck has his own well-known brand of double-chinned douchebaggery, but what most people don't know is that he's also converted to Mormonism when he was an adult. Which means someone asked him to join their cult that baptize dead people and believe Jesus was hanging out in the West in the 1800s and he said, "Sounds great, where do I sign up?"
 
 (Note: Voting results are slightly delayed.)
 
 
 
 
(7) P-Diddy
What Makes Him A Douchebag:
If your entire music career is based around buying someone else’s incredibly popular song, playing it back exactly as it was originally recorded, and then putting your own crappy, mumbly, pretentious lyrics over it, you’re probably a douchebag. If you’ve changed your crappy nickname three times in your career, and actually sued someone over the rights to call yourself “Diddy”, then you’re probably a douchebag. If you’ve profited immensely off of the death of your popular rapper friend, then you’re definitely a douchebag. While Diddy’s legitimacy is severely in question, one thing is for sure: P-Diddy is a douchebag force to be reckoned with.
 
VS
 
(10) Axl Rose
What Makes Him A Douchebag:
Even though Axl was only one member of the original Guns N’ Roses, and even though the band’s name was derived from two band members (Axl Rose and Tracii Guns), Axl decided that, after disappearing for 10-15 years of public absence, it would be okay for Guns N’ Roses to re-emerge on the scene. The only problem was that Axl got an entirely new band, thereby eliminating the “Guns” element of Guns N’ Roses. If you’re a rockstar, and your other douche rockstar friends think you’re too much of a douche to work with, then you have serious douche issues.
 
 
 (Note: Voting results are slightly delayed.)
 
 
 
(7) Curt Schilling
What Makes Him A Douchebag:
OK, Curt, we get it. You love to blog about your opinions and you like Jesus. That's fine. But the problem is, no one wants to hear what a baseball pitcher thinks about stem cell research. Please stop.
 
VS
 
(10) Jerry Jones
What Makes Him A Douchebag:
His ego won't let him not stick his facelifted face into every Cowboys game. I don't watch football to see 75-year-old men meandering on the sidelines and high-fiving players like he made seven tackles and a game-winning interception. Jerry, let coaches coach, let players play, and let owners sit in a luxury box.
 
 
 (Note: Voting results are slightly delayed.)
 
 
 
(7) Jim Cramer
What Makes Him A Douchebag:
Boo-ya!  If you want to make money in the stock market do exactly the opposite of whatever Jim Cramer recommends. If you don’t believe us just ask Jon Stewart to show you one of any hundred videos where Cramer recommend something that was worthless months, weeks or even days later (cough...Bear Stearns...cough).
 
VS
 
(10) Henry Paulson
What Makes Him A Douchebag:

This guy basically slipped a piece of paper, or maybe it was two pieces, to congress saying that said he needed 750 billion dollars by the end of the week, no questions asked and whatever he did with the money was up to him. And if they didn't give him the money the entire world would implode. The kicker is it friggin worked and they gave him the cash. Also, by agreeing to become Treasury Secretary he was “forced” to sell $570 million dollars worth of Goldman Sachs stock, one time only...completely tax free.

 
 
 (Note: Voting results are slightly delayed.)
 
 
 
 
(7) George Bush
What Makes Him A Douchebag:
Hmmmm, let’s see. We really don’t have to go down the list of douchey things he did, do we? Okay, let’s just highlight some more fantastic douchecomplishments: Starting a shitty war, overseeing an enormous economic collapse, and generally making us look like a dumbass to the rest of the world. As if Nicholas Cage movies weren’t doing a good enough job of that.
 
VS
 
(10) Michael Moore
What Makes Him A Douchebag:
This “freedom fighter” pulls together every clip he can find that supports his point, then puts it into a movie and calls it a “documentary.” On top of that, he’s notoriously asshole-ish to work for, and spends his days in a multimillion dollar apartment in New York, even though he’s TOTALLY blue collar, right?

    Did Michael Moore promise to not stop eating until Flint, MI's economy rebounded, or is he just saving up to shit out his next "documentary"?

  2. Katytron Says:

    You gotta respect the Shamwow guy, he's fighting the Scientologists! Uncontested douchebags of the world.

  3. cory Says:

    But we can't forget that he WAS a Scientologist.

  4. Marco Says:

    I think it's cooler that he used to be a scientologist. He's like John Preston from Equilibrium, he used to be a Grammaton Cleric but then he turned around and brought down Father and the rest of the Tetragrammaton Council of Libria. In summation, Vince Offer = WIN

  5. Anonymous Says:

    you need to get outside

  6. Marco Says:

    yeah, you're probably right.

  7. Ookla the Mok Says:

    Ah, but Equilibrium sucked. Therefore your comparison may be damning. (but gunfu was a cool aspect so maybe I will buy a shamwow)

  8. nate Says:

    The ShamWow guy's name is Vince Offer. I know this because I have vowed to destory him. I hate him. Also, he is a former Scientologist... Now, before you praise him, thinking he saw the error of his ways, he left the 'church' claiming they are out to kill him... The only person I hate more than Vince Offer is Billy Maze. Why do you always yell at me Billy? WHY??!!

  9. Tater Says:

    I personally want to see a final round matchup between Michael Moore and Bernie Madoff. Although, i think madoff is a shoe in to win the whole thing.

  10. Spectre Says:

    I think Madoff will go far but my vote is on AIG. Michael Moore would have done sooo much better not being paired up against Bush first round.

  11. Paul Says:

    I dont care what any one says, michael moore is the biggest douche in the universe.

  12. Anonymous Says:

    Michael Moore really is up there in Douchebaggeryness. Damn I wish Barney Frank was in there - he and Michael Moore even look and talk alike.

  13. Edwordrules Says:

    LMAO, that pic of Micheal Moore just screams "I qweefed and it smells like lavender!"

  14. Anonymous Says:

    P. Diddy does suck, but Axl Rose destroyed one of the greatest rock bands ever with his douchebaggery. Let's not forget when James Hetfield burned his face beyond recognition, Al refused to play just because. This led to massive riots by pissed off concert goers and rightfully so. And let's not forget the ginger hair corn rows...come on.

  15. Anonymous Says:

    I dont know, Michael Moore is somewhat douchy but he fails to excel to Dubya's level of douchebaggery. To say Michael Moore is a bigger douche is like comparing the your childhood bully to say Stalin. One may be a big fat phony but you would need to pay for a ticket to suffer the consequences of his douchebaggery. We all(the world) got screwed by Dubya.

  16. Anonymous Says:

    It's more that W had the power that allowed his douchery affect more people. I don't know if that makes him a bigger douchebag, or just a more influential one...

  17. Anonymous Says:

    its this kind of shit that just screams the end of the world is here

  18. John Strauss Says:

    You know god damn well that all the bush supporters are voting over and over again like mad.

  19. Gary J Says:

    Bush supporters should be in the bracket against Bush. I don't know what's worse, one douche screwing us over for the next decade or the millions of douches who applaud and praise him for it. Michael Moore is a huge douche, but compared to W? Come on, it's a no-brainer.

  20. Anonymous Says:

    I think there is an important distinction to make here. Michael Moore is a prime example of a douchebag. In fact, he may actually be the perfect douche. George W. Bush, on the other hand, is the greatest assclown the world has ever known. If this were an assclown competition, W. wins in a landslide.

  21. Anonymous Says:

    how the f is moore beating bush? how many people are dead because of him?

  22. Paul Says:

    Micheal Moore bombed Team America's Headquarters! Unforgivable!

  23. Anonymous Says:

    paulson beating Cramer? Cramer?! have you ever watched this guy's "show" or listened to him for more than 5 minutes? Cramer wishes he was Paulson.

  24. Maple Hyrup Says:

    When will the Dutch bag awards happen...this is just getting me soooooo excited!

  25. Anonymous Says:

    Moore lies so much its really funny! Like in bowling for columbine. ALso, he harrassed an old man (charlton Heston). Hey Michael Moore, go fuck yourself!

  26. America-FUCK YEAH! Says:

    Yeah! Damn him for bothering that senile old gun lover, he should have spent his time bombing the living crap out of five generations of pesky foreigners in the name of cheap oil!

  27. Crunkenstein Says:

    I like your style fucker. We should be butt buddies.

  28. Jan Says:

    Cool, I like women who know what they like!

  29. Dom Says:

    Taco, the only thing to make this whole tourney better, is if it were officially sponsored by Summer's Eve. That would be the icing on the cake.

  30. cory Says:

    Trust me, we tried.

  31. Taliek Brown Says:

    Duke and Bill Belichick already lost? They both should have been top 5 seeds in the Sports Bracket. I'm just not sure I can have faith in these results now.

  32. David Says:

    Jimmy Fallon out in the first round? I had him as a favorite to reach the final 4 and be right up there with AIG/Madoff and GW Bush to win the whole thing. Nobody has ever laughed with Jimmy Fallon, only AT him because he's such a giant douche. how NBC gave him his own show I will never know. Sean Penn cares about real issues and has acting skill. Jimmy Fallon couldn't act his way out of a paper bag

  33. Paul Says:

    Sean Pinn is a the biggest tool on the planet his views on everything is ridicolous, right up there moore... Just my opinion

  34. Hexter19 Says:

    So many douche bags......so few votes available.

  35. Ookla the Mok Says:

    Lets not forget that this is all about douchebaggery. It is possible to like one person more than the other even if they are hands down the bigger douchebag. Don't vote for who you hate ... vote for the bigger douche.
    Yes, I'm telling you to vote with your mind, not your heart >cough<

  36. Anonymous Says:

    P. Diddy is riding a waverunner in a tuxedo in his latest commerical for his new 'premium' vodka.

    nough said.

  37. uglysexy Says:

    I think vince from shamwow is a cool guy....could be like steve buscemi in movies I bet... whereas Billy Mayes from oxyclean is awful

  38. Sociosquatch Says:

    Shamwow guy is more of a tool than a douche but I still voted for him.

  39. DUB YA Says:

    The biggest douche on the list is moore!!
    but like left wing liberal Nazis he pass to the next round.
    he he he

  40. John Strauss Says:

    You obviously have no clue about the political spectrum, Nazis are fascists which puts them on the far right, not the left!

  41. Nick Says:

    YOU obviously have no clue. Fascism is and always has been a derivative of leftist philosophy. Mussolini more or less started fascism singlehandedly, precisely because communism was NOT left-wing enough for his tastes. Nazis were NOT fascists and hated them, although they too were very left-wing.

    You can find this in pretty much any historical text, although for laymen (as you obviously are on this subject) Jonah Goldberg does a great job of dumbing it down in "Liberal Fascism."

  42. Anonymous Says:

    Hey Strauss, your thinking of reactionary you dumbass. Read a book

  43. John Strauss Says:

    Shit! You're right, I apologize! I am going to kill myself now.

  44. Sociosquatch Says:

    All you fucking fratboys who think Bush isn't the bigger douche- are douches yourselves.

  45. Ookla the Mok Says:

    Remain in this square next turn sleeping it off.

  46. Anonymous Says:

    ha why was Richard Branson on the list?

  47. Anonymous Says:

    Wheres Dane Cook?
    He should have been at least a 4 seed.

  48. Penis Says:

    He's here man. He's seeded like 12th or something. It sucks because he is going to get killed by Octo-mom

  49. Anonymous Says:

    wait wait wait. so because the shamwow sucks, the shamwow GUY is a douchebag? looks like whatever the author decides he doesn't like, he attaches some face we all know of to it and that person is now a douchebag.

    the creator of this list is a douchebag.
