Yes, "douchbag" is making the rounds, Gawker,and I must admit I felt a pang of regret that our little in-joke is now part of the wider American conversation. Still, the skit was only half-funny, so it's not like they're getting it right.

I cried when Flower died! Does that make me a douchebag? Disclaimer, I was drunk.

Since when is that show funny? Oh right, when they adapt the playa hater's ball for white jerks.

@francophony: Actually, use of douchebag dates to the 1960's.

We'll always have Twatwaffle.

Didn't John Edwards (the psychic, not the douchenozzle politician) win the biggest Douchebag in the Universe award on South Park last season?

@maevemealone: If that makes you a douchebag, you're a douchebag in good company.

@plunk: Phew!

@francophony: Lord and Lady Douchebag anyone?

No Wall Street I Banker with an iPhone?

Jesus, these guys couldn't hit water if they fell out of a fucking boat.

It should have been sponsored by BankersBall.com. Waaaaaaaay more douchy than Cigar Aficionado, which occasionaly has some interesting articles.

Are there any black douchebags, or is "Hootie" the go-to guy for that category? or do we lump all blipsters there?

Last weekend friends and I came up with "douchebox" combining douchebag and toolbox because we seemed to only run into those kinds of people on our night out.
Though KUO's right, twatwaffle wins it.

Proving one can still use 'douchebag' in a somewhat ironic fashion and still be unfunny.

@MoeGolden: "blouchebags": watch for upcoming NYT trends piece.

@mcginstein: Along those lines, somehow some friends and I started using "juicebox" interchangeably with "douchebag" - it works surprisingly well.

@mcginstein: Is that what The Box is short for?

@naboo: Yes!

@WheatGerm: I'll never look at Juicy Juice the same way again.

I've moved on to douchetard.

The SNL skit seems to miss an essential piece of the douchebag equation: Doesn't a true douche have to imagine himself with, or actually have, at least a small little piece of power to abuse?

They're lowbrowing the douche. Which makes them total douches.

The first guy was the actual douchebag - i think people are confused about what a true DB is.
I still credit Jon Stewart w/bring the word back.

Surprised you posted this, since after a Massengill and Coke it was all but forgotten at my house.

SNL actually sort of pioneered the "douchebag on TV" concept. They did a whole sketch back in 1980 based on the word:

How come they can say douchebag but have to say "A-hole"
Also, please move the apostrophe in the headline. It's making my eyes hurt.

"douchebag" was so two years ago.

@GinaRomantica: Because it's French.

@Talaton: "Yes, Douchebag, what exactly are you sitting on?"

Incredibly, remarkable unfunny and tedious.

Yet some douchebag no talent is getting fat checks to churn out this ass.

Probably a Harvard grad too.

Lorne Michaels should shoot himself in the face.

why didn't they just have andy samberg play himself?

how can ya have a douchebag award without some dude in an untucked striped shirt?

@chip:
i was totally thinking that. one of those horrifying wannabe gotti boys. i guess what i'm saying is, why didn't they have the award show in hoboken?

@johnnybananas: agreed.

How many of you caught funnyguy Seth Rogen hosting Saturday Night Live this weekend? I thought one of the funniest skits was the "2007 National Douchebag Championships" (featuring SNL MVP Andy Samberg, pictured) but when I asked my colleague Nicholas Fonseca about it, he revealed he has major...

SNL completely missed the representative douche nozzles on Park Avenue South/Murray Hill (name any crap bar) on a Friday night ironically drinking PBR, talking about how their boss wants "to date them" they are so good at _____job. You can spot them in their 8 year old frat tee-shirts, Brooks Brothers blazers and gucci loafers. Most of them are named Jake or Mike. They can loudly be heard talking on their office issued TREO telling the dudes about the "fuckin' tits" at the bar. Yeah, they all win my "Douche of the Year" award.

this is so ann arbor.

So that's why people say SNL sucks now.

Huh.

@momo: In fact, I did know that.
