I think some of you are confusing sleazeballs with douchebags, there’s a difference. Whereas Uncle Rico was a sleazeball, he’s definitely not a douche. Douchebags are rich, predominantly white, self-entitled assholes with convertibles and hot women that go out with them for the sole purpose of their status. They’ve got everything, and they look down on others who are less fortunated, regardless of how they’ve attained what they’ve got (mostly inheritance).

This being the internet – before I am flamed to death
- I suppose I’m obligated to state that, “no I don’t think it was ‘cool’ when Telly essentially raped that chick at the end.”

However, at least in my mind, there can be no doubt that Telly was intended to be perceived as a “cool” kid. It’s part of what makes the end of the film so troubling.

Sack (Old School) is an alpha male a-hole, not a douche.
Biff (Back to the Future) also not really a douche.
Telly (Kids) is cool. DEFINITELY not a douche.

Good call on Shooter (Happy Gilmore)
Good call on Ellis (Die Hard)

First, to further validate my list by explaining why Tom Cruise didn’t make an appearance, just refer to the Affleck section of my previous post. The same goes double for Cruise.

The real reason for this second post is just to add a little bit of insight to my list. To me, there are a some important and necessary qualities of a douchebag.
-One, self-preservation. When all chips are in, the only one who matters is me, so to speak.
-Two, lack of remorse. Douchebags don’t care. Unless it’s about themself. (the reason why stifler isn’t on this list is that as much of an asshole as he may be, he has some sort of capacity to care, for example in American Wedding when he saves the wedding, which disqualifies him as a douchebag.)
-Three, there is no reasoning with a douchebag. They get their way, period. If they don’t get their way, they find a way to fuck everyone over. (For a deeper understanding of this requirement in particular, see Carter Burke in Aliens)
-Four, the right way is always wrong. Whether it comes to playing by the rules, doing something for the greater good, or just plain being civil, douchebags would let the world come to an end before doing what someone else tells them to do.
-Last, a douchebag has to be self-centered. Everything in the world revolves around them, and no one understands that better than they do, though they have no problem letting you know.

If you have anything to add to any of this, please do, this is simply what went into my list, and why.

1. Biff (Back To The Future)
2. Sack (Wedding Crashers)
3. Peck (Ghostbusters 1&2)
4. Burke (Aliens)
5. Dean Pritchard (Old School)
6. Ellis (Die Hard)
7. Richard (Van Wilder)
8. Telly (Kids)
9. Shooter McGavin (Happy Gilmore)
10. Caledon Hockley (Titanic)

Here’s my list, there are a couple that may be debateable, but most of them are staples in this category. Stifler belongs nowhere near this list, if for nothing more than the fact that he’s a likable character, and this is douchebags. No one likes the douchebag, and I feel like all of these characters live up to that name in that as soon as you see them on screen, you’re first conscious thought is ‘wow, what a fucking douchebag.’

As much as I felt obliged to have at least one Ben Affleck character on this list, I didn’t, simply because it’s too easy. I mean, can you name one role in which he doesn’t come off as a douchebag?

Honorable Mention: Derek Huff (Stepbrothers), Eric Gordon (Billy Madison), Jerry (Liar Liar), Tony Perkis (Heavyweights), the ‘extreme’ gang leader (Harold and Kumar go to White Castle), Rand McPherson (PCU)

I may have missed one or two overall, but these are all definitely up there.

Shooter McGavin from Happy Gilmore and Dean Pritchard from Old School has got to be on the list in my opinion.

I’m trying to put together my own top 10 douche list. A lot of good comments here, would appreciate some input. http://livetorock.com/156/?p=105

How dare you call Big Ern a douche. In case you didn’t hear, he’s above the law. I’m actually surprised that more people don’t talk about McCracken when discussing their favorite (comedic) Bill Murray characters.
