Some of our douchy previous winners

Every year since 1937, THE WACKY DELI’S editorial board has named a “Douchebag of the Year” to recognize that douchy person (or persons) who best espoused the ideals of douchbaggery and douchydom during the previous 12 months.

Some of the recipients have been dictators, others serial killers, still others obnoxious sports fans who single-handedly ruined the Cubs’ 2003 World Series chances. And yes, we mean you Steve Bartman.
