Look at this JERK!  Even more of a reason to replace the GOMP with the old "heave-ho"

Yeah, wow, I mean, I'm a pretty serious geek and I'm surprised that anyone feels that strongly about him.  Who's next, David Scroggy, VP of Product Development for Dark Horse comics?

Fair enough. He's probably more obscure than he should be for this list, but he's not thaaat obscure - c'mon. He's an especially active and vocal part of Marvel pr, he's been a top editor at Marvel for some time now, and he can headline a discussion panel at a convention by himself. Can your David Scroggy say that??

Also, if you happen to be of the opinion that mainstream comics aren't so good anymore, he's one of the chief architects behind that.

Now if you'll excuse me, you've gotten me all flustered  and I have to go refill my inhaler.

Haha.  I am actually liking a lot of mainstream comics at the moment, more so than at any time since the 80s, but that probably has more to do with the fact that everyone seems to be moving beyond bad Image/Watchmen ripoffs than anything else.
Oh, good heavens. I didn’t realize. I send my condolences out to the rest of the O’Connor family.

The real jerks are their parents. Billy Ray, Joe Simpson, the Lohan dad, they're all first class jerks.

What does she do that makes her a jerk? I'm not really familiar with her, aside from her boring music and TV show.

I second this one. My friend took an improv class with his parents and he visited one day and was a huge jerk.  And this was before he was on Entourage so I'm sure he's 100x worse now.

I was going to call in and suggest Ty Cobb. He would be the Black Lion in the Jerk Voltron. Also I'd be really interested to see how he would interact with the other jerks. Would him and Philip DeFranco find some common ground to bond over, or would he slide tackle him with his cletes? Would he appreciate Mike Francesa's knowledge of sports, or would he savagely beat him within an inch of his life?
Maybe I'll write some fan fiction about it.

yesno

Penn Jillette is a total blowhard, and I think he plays it up, but I like it when he goes after pseudoscience and quacks and feng shui and whatnot.  It'll take a lot of jerkiness to overcome the bottled water episode of Bullshit, and however flawed that show has been (particularly when they delve into political or value-based judgements instead of unmasking fraud), they plan to devote an entire episode to errors they have made in the course of the series-- admirable intellectual honesty.

But, I prefer my magicians more arcane and scholarly like Ricky Jay, and not all in your face.  Never trust a man whose favorite band is the Residents.

ugh shit show makes me so angry. it's just so crass and condescending and annoying.

Yeah, it's totally annoying, when they get into politics especially.  But I tend to like it when things like creationism and ouiji boards and new age medicine aren't just disproved, but made fun of.  For what it's worth, Teller might not be a jerk be he's onboard with everything that show does.

I also like how P&T and the Amazing Randi go after magicians that claim to have actual magic or psychic powers, by duplicating their tricks and calling them frauds.

I forgot.  Dave Barry.  Or is he just a decent guy who is unfunny? 

He buddies around with Stephen King...a jerk nominee. Does that help?
