There are plenty of douche bags to go around in Oklahoma City. They hang out at places like Cafe Nova, Baker Street… and OPUBCO. Vote for the douche bag you would least like to be seen with in public after the jump.
John Paul Merritt
Watching The Bachelorette has you teetering on edge of douche baggery, but appearing on it and finishing second? That puts in you in douche bag lore. But that’s not the worst part. Not only does John Paul or JP or whatever his name is list his occupation as an “entrepreneur” on his not-yet-private MySpace Page, but the dude also owns Cafe Nova. Dear god, that pretty much makes him King of Douche Bags. However, all that does not mean that he is the worst on to be seen in public with….right? Because there is always…
Dave Morris
Cheesy rock band? Check. Hot girlfriend/fiance? Check. Demanding to be two scrabble letters for a group Halloween costume? Check Check. Posting pictures like these on your MySpace Page? Douche bag.
Brent Skarky
Somebody once asked me why we think that Brent Skarky is a douche bag. I really don’t know. Encouraging people to vote for you in an Internet celebrity tournament is one reason. The other, he just kind of looks like one.
Tony
Tony had it all. Fame. Fortune. Women. The most quotes in our Gazette article. But then he gave it all up to start a campaign to get Jennifer Reynolds back on the air.
Jason White
Jason White is such a douche bag that he’d put his name atop some booth selling rugs at 74th and South Penn. He also choked in the all the big games for OU and retired from the NFL after two practices and a set of wind sprints.

Nice to see your obsession with Steve Hunt is finally over.
Just going to ask, where’s Steve Hunt?
I think the nominee must have some shred of notoriety in places other than head shops and the Hi-Lo Club. Thus, Steve Hunt is ineligible.
JP is D-bag incarnate. No contest.
JP at least made it on national television. I’d say anyone who is on local televison and THINKS that they’re better than others would be the biggest DB out there…
Hey, that pic of Ron “behind” Jason kinda looks like Ron is… well… umm… okay forget about it.
My vote would have to go to Ron.
Look at that picture — does JP think he’s James Bond? “Quantum of Asshole.”
I was actually seen in public with Skarky once. He was an intern at my first sales job in the mid 90’s and a group of us had gone to lunch. He was just out of high school and was pretty tubby back then. The douche factor really hadn’t fully kicked in yet at that time even though he made it clear that his dad was a Dr. and that he was on his way to Syracuse. I ran into him a few years later when he was a local media fixture here and he big timed me. Looking back, I would have skipped lunch that day had I known what kind of d-bag I was in the company of.
Come on now. The rest makes sense, but why Jason White? Hard to believe he didn’t beat the best team that money could buy at USC.
I think they’re going with Jason White because he is, personally, in fact, a douchebag.
If you actually hold a press conference to announce your “retirement” from the NFL and you never played a frickin’ down in the league, then your are a douchebag. Or a redneck, or both. The local OKC media ran with this a serious story. The rest of the country that covered it ran it as a joke - which it was.
You heard about the press conference to announce his retirement from a league in which he never played a down, right? One thing I think Patrick left out was the way White screwed over Paul Thompson by even requesting a sixth year of eligibility. It would have probably benefitted both of them more if White had gone out after his second senior year. He could have capitalized (more) on being a Heisman winner and Thompson could have been entrenched as the QB while Bomar redshirted.
What, no love for Van Shea Ivan? Epic douche. Just saying.
Otherwise, it’s a toss up between JP and JW.
Just vote for Dave. He’s the choice that requires the least thought…
Is this the best you guys can come up with? What about Mike Gassaway? Or do they have to be media douche bags? Can a woman be a db? And if Dean Blevins, Jim Traber, Al Eschbach, and Mike Steely aren’t douche bags, then I don’t understand the term.
I’m inclined to agree with the Dean Blevins suggestion.
However, of those listed, my number-one pick would have to be JP.
He made it WIDELY known that HE, John Paul Merritt, put “Oklahoma City on the map” when interviewed by local media after his so-called 15 minutes on that ridiculous show. Speaking of how ridiculous that show is/was, why is the first bachelorette, Trista, and her fire fighting husband of interest to the public at large? Trista gets knocked up: It’s on the cover of People. Trista gets knocked up again: It’s on the cover of US. Trista and fire fighter husband are still married: COVER STORY. I don’t get it. Who gives a sh*t?!?
We already did a “Worst Sports Animal Host”, and I think there’s a 60% chance that another category will include Dean.
Why is everyone picking on me?
Ha Ha!
Wow this list SUCKSSSS!!!
I am friends with John Paul Merritt. I am relatively certain that he no longer is even part owner of Nova, he does not live in Oklahoma City and yes he actually is an Entrepreneur.
Meaning he invests money in things such as gay overpriced restaurants which will make him money. I will be damned if every single one of you has not been there and put a little money in his pocket at least once.
Though he was on the Bachelor he isn’t a douchebag he just played one on TV. I’d say doing that show was a smart move because that claim to “fame” actually will make you some money in hillbilly/backwards ass Oklahoma. He just married a VERY sexy and sweet woman, is extremely successful and has better shit to do than hide behind the computer and talk shit about other people all day
UHHHH Biggest Douchebags in OKC list… I bet you guys think you are pretty damn cool! Your pick up line… Hey there you ever heard of the lost Ogle - No? Really?
Or how about every shrunken polo wearing, overrated title having douchelord that is employeed by chesapeake on the list.
Western is unbearable because f*cks like that frequent it!
You would think that John Paul could come up with a better screen name than jackiltz.
Seriously though….the whole South Park character thing just reeks of douchery. Man up and post real pics. Mywaste even.
So, I guess that’s sort of what happens (i.e. jackiltz) when someone knows/is the person in a picture…yowza
busted
Settle down, JP, er, jackiltz. And thank you for clarifying the fact that you don’t have a dime in Nova anymore. Something to do with the Aubrey Factor… Well, that and Deep Fork Group has been hard-pressed to keep the joint alive. Hey, at least they’ve got the 20-somethings coming in a couple nights a week… YAY!
Hey Mia: Meet me at Jackrabbit Slims tonight. 9 p.m.?
I love how JP assumes that everyone has been to cafe nova. The fact that it was affiliated with him kept me from ever spending any money at that shit hole.
I refuse to vote and will be writing in Steve Hunt — he raises the douchebag homeland security rating of any establishment he steps into.
Here’s a vote for Mike Gundy, or is being a man, age 40, too old to qualify?
Ok, some facts about JP.
1) He no longer has ownership interest in Nova.
2) He just moved to Dallas after marrying, yes, a hot chick.
3) He was basically FORCED to move out of OKC, because he is in debt by more than $1mm (and i’ve heard it might be over $2mm)
4) He owes this money to the likes of Aubrey McClendon and other rich OKC businessmen.
5) His new wife has NO IDEA that that is why they have “moved” to Dallas and he has no taken to a regular job that pays him a paycheck for doing work… SUCCESSFUL “entrepreneurs” don’t all of a sudden get a real job, do they?
I’d never even heard of Cafe Nova (or JP, for that matter,) until this post. But the picture was enough for him to get my vote.
sha-zaam
Oh, the Dave Morris pictures are killing me! Grooming himself in the mirror, the rhinestoned sunglasses AND a peace sign AND photoshoppy black-and-white job– it’s a wonder that picture didn’t make the internet explode.
In response to Mr. Four-Popped-Collars-Cool, I’ve never eaten at Café Nova.
Also, why do you trust fund guys get so butt-hurt when someone from the proverbial other side of the tracks puts a dent in your image?
Tony is a king douche, I can believe all the crap he’s pulled on people
It doesn’t look like you are doing that good JP.

Do you still hang out with trustfund babies/Heritage Hall douches HW, DH, KS or JTG?
“Can a woman be a db?”
Of course but isn’t the term “See U Next Tuesday”
Damn I just realized I will see a lot of these Western Ave/trustfund douches at the Mellencamp show tomorrow night. They won’t be going for Mellencamp but for trust fund baby/”struggling artist” Graham Colton.
I unfortunately have met Dave Morris. I wonder why a no talent douchebag acts so full of himself. He can’t sing (which I have only heard from people because I have had the good luck of not hearing his horrible band) and he is a joke on that crappy website newsok. I always wonder if he is sad because of the long face.
Never been to Nova — never will. How good could it be? I prefer the Havana Inn.
All of you that are talking about JP are jealous. At least he has the balls to take risk and try and become someone successful, rather then sit around and read a stupid blog/website like this. I would like to see what most of you do for a living. I imagine most of you make around $40,000 a year and have health insurance, so you dont want to leave that comfortable job of yours. Please, grow some balls and try and make it on your own. At least JP had the balls to do it. I have left my real name on here for anyone to respond to my comment. Please, challenge me about JP and I will insult you so bad you wish you were never born. Bring it on you $40,000 dollar a year millionaires!
Oh, and i guarantee you that JP’s wife is 10 times hotter than anyone of you ha ever dated or even talked to. For you girls on this site that talked bad about JP, you are just pissed because he hooked up with you and never called you again. Im sure most of you are the true definition of a “Tiff”. If you dont know what a Tiff is just ask and i will be happy to tell you.
Yeah, well, that’s like, your opinion, man.
LOL! Does this blog/website contribute anything positive or helpful to our society other than anger, bitterness and jealousy?
Is that charlie givens the developer or charles junior the cricket eater? I read in the journal record that you were a big internet start up guy now. http://www.redorbit.com/news/technology/1428425/okc_man_starts_fashion_social_networking_site/index.html
so effing sweet.
Yeah, lots of douchbags. I like cardboard Jim though. Seems like the guy has changed. Not nearly as big a douchbag, seen him have beers with the guys in a shower I think.
Hey Charlie Givens: When you and JP get together for you know, your man sessions, who drives? I’m guessing that he does.
By the by, I make over $40 G’s a year, and I work for the government, which means you pay my salary.
“LOL! Does this blog/website contribute anything positive or helpful to our society other than anger, bitterness and jealousy?”
Looks like someone inner hausfrau is coming out. Anger? Bitterness? Jealously? Turn off SoapNet
Before we start accusing people of being 40k millionaires maybe we should get a job that pays, and stop driving moms Range Rover. We should get our own place and not live in the apartment above the garage. I rather be a 40k millionaire than a trust fund millionaire and stop milking my two worhtless websites hoping they succeed. They won’t work, stop trying, use your degree and get a job.
OKC is awash with douche bags…Aubrey McClendon, Brent Rinehart, Harry Coates, Brad Henry, I could go on all night! These guys are truly embarrassing our entire state on a national level.
Hey Charlie Givens Sr! Why dont you say your real name and not hide behind a false name. Pussy!
Charlie has been a bad boy.
http://tinyurl.com/6pzbzs
Looking at his address, I would say he was slumming in Nichols Hills.
Whoa whoa whoa! Listen there is only thing worse then a dead beat like JP and that’s someone who would made out with a 19 year old on the dance floor of his step-daughters deb party, while his wife was watching. (Pounding fists with CG). For all those who can’t figure out who CG is his name rhymes with “Farlie Fivens Fenior”
One thing is certain. The best you can hope for your coming out of the closet website is that the “copa” crowd gets ahold of it and turns it into an HIV blog / support site.
Charlie is just mad that JP got nominated and he didn’t.
What all you got in that “Closet” Charlie?
“My Closet My Life”? A fashion social networking site called “My Closet, My Life”?
Just come out of the closet already . . .
See, the reason Charlie’s so upset is because JP picked the chick over him. The real reason JP had to move to Dallas was because Charlie kept busting the restraining order. Let me guess, Charlie, JP won’t give you his new address, will he? Just because he didn’t call you back the next morning doesn’t mean all hope is lost. Maybe you could lure Brent Rinehart out of the closet and you two could show everybody just what it takes to be a real woman, er, man, in this town! Of course, there’s always therapy…
Not everyone who goes to Heritage Hall is a trustfund baby/baby in general. I went - and I happen to read the lost ogle on a regular basis. Even better - I didn’t come on here to defend Charlie Givens, nor Mr. Bachlor. They’re both slim dicks who have nothing better to do than talk about money. Amen.
I think Charlie might look at some “conversion therapy” programs. He could bring the “ex-Gay” movement back in vogue.
Excellence in Blog commenting….
Leah,
Obviously you are uneducated and have no sense of what is going on in the world much less your own city. You called Aubrey McClendon a douche bag. I guess being a billionaire, pretty much running Duke University and sitting on the board of almost all the Universities in the state, being the largest philanthropist OKC has ever seen, and owning an NBA team among other things, obviously doesn’t make him as cool as you.
As Im sure you already know Aubrey is one of the most well known CEO’s on Wall Street and Capitol Hill. Jim Cramer, Larry Kudlow, The Fast Money Cast, etc all talk about Aubrey with the upmost respect and often have him appear on their shows. But they must be DB’s too or at least not as cool as you. In all your superior wisdom and intellect please let us know how people in OKC can be cool like you
Charlie Givens is the best
Hey Charlie’s Friends - spit, don’t swallow.
This is the greatest blog I’ve ever come across. Givens is the man, Johnny P is the epitome of a D-bag, and McClendon still owes me $250 from a dice game.
First of all let me just say that this is the greatest blog I have ever read.
Charlie, you say JP took a risk. There’s no risk involved when your picking your moms pocket while her left tit is still in your mouth. Why don’t you take a risk, and move out of Nichols Hills (would probably help your criminal record) and try getting a real job like the rest of us, pay your own mortgage, insurance etc…
Oh and JP’s wife. DUMB!!!!!!!!!
seems a little weak of people to be attacking people that they know on a blog comment section. Let this be a lesson to people who are somewhat in the public eye ignore things like this and they will go away join in and they just snowball into a bigger “nothing”.
Wow, lots of people are sippin’ on that haterade these days.
Some people need to learn that sticks and stones can break your bones but words can never hurt you. People also need to learn that the people throwing the words out there are just trying to deflect having to think about there own tiny insignificant lives so they make fun of people who have it better/easier than them.
Charlie, I respect you for sticking up for JP and using your own name but you also need to get over yourself bud, money isn’t everything. It doesn’t matter how much money someone makes. That’s a pretty shallow argument.

Sorry dude but your reply is condescending and as bad as Charlie’s was. In what warped world is defaulting on numerous loans and skipping town considered success?
“Sorry dude but your reply is condescending and as bad as Charlie’s was. In what warped world is defaulting on numerous loans and skipping town considered success?”
I don’t even know what that means. I NEVER said the word SUCCESS. I said someone who has it better/easier than them. It’s a generalization. It could mean a number of things from a hard worker to a trust fund baby. A point that was clearly missed by you. I was just giving an outside opinion, clearly I struck a cord for some strange reason. I do like how a guy who posts links to oscn.net for peoples arrest records and does nothing but rip on people in all of his posts calls me condescending. I made an observation that there are a lot of haters out there and I’m condescending. Isn’t it ironic, don’t ya think? Thanks for that Wigman, I was game for a laugh! Get a life bud.

Actually if you bothered to read some of the more scathing posts they appear to come from people that in your opinion do “have it better” then others, but that seems to have flown over your head. If you are going to come on a public forum and tell people that you are jealous of them and their friends and not expect people to come back at you then you are in for a rude awakening. OSCN is public record guy unlike some of the stuff that people associated with /personally know these douches wrote. “Haterade” how old are you 14? Thanks for the advice “bud” but I’m fine and don’t need to listen to someone that has the vocabulary of a junior high student.
Having $$$ and success doesn’t make you a douchebag as you seem to think people are equating, but the “LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT ME” narcissistic attitude/personality does and that’s not limited to the wealthy. I have family that live in Nichols Hills and Gaillardia and I don’t begrudge them their blessings and success nor anyone else’s. One of my cousins went to school with one of the guys named above and she’s not a douche but thinks this guy is.
So the “you’re just jealous because they are rich” card is simplistic and in this case laughable.
“Having $$$ and success doesn’t make you a douchebag as you seem to think people are equating, but the “LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT ME” narcissistic attitude/personality does and that’s not limited to the wealthy.”
I completely agree, I call those people “Hondos” thats why I said this in my first statment:
“Charlie, I respect you for sticking up for JP and using your own name but you also need to get over yourself bud, money isn’t everything. It doesn’t matter how much money someone makes. That’s a pretty shallow argument.”
I said “bud” in that one too so I guess I get points deducted for that…
“Actually if you bothered to read some of the more scathing posts they appear to come from people that in your opinion do “have it better” then others, but that seems to have flown over your head.”
There are plenty of scathing messages from both sides and I was referring to all of them calling them haters. On a side note, I love how insulting someone’s vocabulary makes people feel smart. Kudos, you should be proud. Did I have any typos? Be sure to deflect from the issue with those too..
“If you are going to come on a public forum and tell people that you are jealous of them and their friends and not expect people to come back at you then you are in for a rude awakening.”
I don’t recall using those words. But hey, twisting my words seems to be your new favorite past time. I have never said the word jealous. I used the phrase “deflect from their own tiny insignificant lives” If you don’t know there are over 6 billion people in this world. For the most part, we are all insignificant, you, me, John Paul Merrit, the lost ogle, all of us. In the grand scheme of things, we don’t matter. If this is a fact that you are having trouble coming to grips with, I’m sorry, but it’s true. I make fun of people all the time. I too, am not immune from deflecting from my own insignificant life. It makes me feel better. If you ever took Psych 101, you’d know its a general human trait. Without using technical terms, people cut others down to make themselves feel better. If you want to dispute that feel free.
“So the “you’re just jealous because they are rich” card is simplistic and in this case laughable.”
Again, I said this in my first post, which, judging by your comments, I don’t know if you even really read it: “Charlie, I respect you for sticking up for JP and using your own name but you also need to get over yourself bud, money isn’t everything. It doesn’t matter how much money someone makes. That’s a pretty shallow argument.”
When I read your points I agree with them. I could care less how much money you or anyone has. I would love to have a ton of money and I certainly envy people who do. That doesn’t make jealous. It makes me enviable of their position, and serves as motivation for me to better myself. I guess you disagree. I don’t know why you chose to come after me except that I struck a personal cord with you because you don’t want to admit that you get joy from ripping on people and putting links to peoples arrest records in easy access links from message boards. I don’t care if its public record, thats erroneous. You’ve made a point to show people something, and you clearly enjoyed it or you wouldn’t have done it. It shows a clear agenda. You have a bone to pick for some reason. I can see it now, you sitting there with your “I’ll show them” look on your face and giggling to yourself that you just “exposed” whoever it might be. I’ll say it again, get a life.
I don’t even know what this argument is about, we don’t know eachother, so to assume we know how the other one thinks is quite presumptious (i don’t think I spelled that right), and I apologize for that. I’d much rather have this conversation over a cup of coffee than in an internet message board, but such is life. Also, I think we agree mostly but somehow we got off track…
I do enjoy the banter though, its a nice break from work…
