Love the Hot Chicks With Douchebags TV Show? Are You Ready for the Movie?

[inline:hot] All right, we'll admit it: we can't get enough of "Is She Really Going Out With Him?", the spin-off of the hit website, "Hot Chicks with Douchebags." On each episode the show profiles a couple in crisis: the guy is a douchebag of epic proportions and the hot chick simply can't get enough of his faux, his Ed Hardy T-shirts, and his Oompa Loompa tan. Will she come to her senses and dump the douchebag? You have to watch to find out -- the entire first season is now airing on re-runs on MTV and on MTV's website. BroBible caught up with DB1, the main man behind the show and website, to find out if the douchebags are as big of douchebags in real life as they look in the photos and on the web, and if the hot chicks are really as hot. Turns out, yep, they are. It also turns out there's a movie in the works. Douchetastic. BROBIBLE: O.K., be honest, did these guys actually know what the show was all about before you filmed them? Or did they think this was a PBS special on teenage dating? DB1: They knew that it was a dating show and a comedy show about couples. We never lied to them, we just let them be themselves. Being on set, there's no doubt the 'bags thought they looked like the proverbial "bomb." The joy of shooting was seeing how easy it was to let preening douchewanks make fools of themselves. Other than the fauxs and the muscles and orange-glow tan, what is it that first attracts these girls to these douchebags? Why don't they listen to their BFFs who all hate them? It's all about the spectacle. Girls are taught by TV and magazines that the only way they can validate their own worth is by acquiring the shiny, glittery object. The douchebag transforms himself into the shiny spectacle to appeal to the hot girl's name-brand tendencies. Douchebags are to our present moment like Ferraris and Porsches were to teenagers in the 1980s John Hughes movies. They validate existence. They are society's "prize." Only the prize turns out to be a turd once you unwrap all the name-brand wrapping. What's the average lifespan of a relationship between a douchebag and their girlfriends? What is it that usually breaks the camel's back?

Once we started shooting on "Is She Really Going Out With Him?" and I got to see some of the hot chick with douchebag couples in action, I was surprised how long many of the relationships have lasted. That doesn't mean he isn't cheating on her and lying to her every step of the way. But the girls are determined to "change" him or bring out the "sweet side." Never gonna happen. You've got a whole dictionary of douchebaggery. What's the one word they used the most during filming? Any favorite quotes or lines from the season? There are so many great lines the 'bags say on the show. My favorites are "every gangsta needs a flatiron" (the Hustler Douche), "make it look dank" (the O.C. Bag to his hairstylist), "You can eat the cake. You can eat the cake" (the Beta Bag explaining to the Alpha Bag why it's O.K. to cheat), but there are so many more. As a writer, I wish I could come up with the lines these douchewanks said on set, but that's what makes the show so much fun. You never know what pearl of wisdom will come your way during shooting. How are douchebags different from location to location? How's the Jerz different from the Bellagio Bag and the South Beach Scrote? What is your favorite species of douchebag? Well, for the first season we only shot in greater New York and Los Angeles, but hopefully if we can do another season, we'll begin to explore the regional variances like the Miami Beach Pudster and the Bellagio 'Bag. Generally speaking, East Coast douchery focuses more on hairstyle, guyliner, and orange tans, whereas West Coast scrotebaggery involves mandanas, Ed Hardy, and tattoos. What's next? Please tell us you've filmed eight more seasons? Cross your fingers, we're waiting on a season #2, but there's no shortage of scrotes out there to be mocked. In other news, my book has been optioned by a studio and I'm in the process of writing the screenplay. So if all goes well, Hot Chicks with Douchebags will someday become a feature film. Only then will my mission to eradicate hottie/douchey couplings be complete. [inline:douchebag] [photo courtesy HCWDB]
