Is This An Accurate Portrayal Of A Park Slope Douche?

parksloper0610.jpg

As part of Pete Johnson's Douche series, he's got Freelance Flash Douche, Account Guy Douche... and what looks to be like a Park Slope Douche! This guy definitely belongs to the Co-op, both of them. [via Copyranter]

  • Does Pete Johnson know how to proofread and check for grammatical errors? This one at least, just reads poorly.

    This is so tired, boring and overtly stereotypical that it's really not even funny. I could go on, but other people have already touched on the poor syntax.

    But really, this is just the classic case of some bored artist making fun of others to feel better about their pathetic lives. Shielding it with the overused "douche" tag line makes it even ever more obvious.

  • ladyjane

    does anyone really care? as long as you're not a douche to me personally i don't care where you buy your food or how much you spend on your apartment. i guess i might be happy i'm not your kid, but whatever.

  • Manitoba

    I agree. If I were to get really upset by every douchebag in New York, I'd never leave my apartment. I don't care how people decide to lead their lives as long as they don't try to impose their ways on me.

    I seriously hope the next cartoon he does involves ripping you bitter gothamist commenters to shreds. seriously... jealous much? What have you all done? (besides brush the crumbs off the counter of your local coffee shop?)

    That guy left out a word on that one card, sure, but the entire cartoon is really funny. In fact, the entire site is hilarious.

  • kafkask

    I have to agree with the vitriol here. The above is not really funny and certainly wasn't proofed.

    It's a good idea, but destroyed by lack of originality and skill.

  • laisla

    What part was not proofed? People already explained the archaic use of English. Which is part of the humor. Srsly.

  • Lauren

    Isn't it the name-calling that's douchey?

  • laisla

    You have to call it like you see it, Lauren. This is not Idaho.

  • kcin122

    doesn't this fit the description all brooklyn dads throughout the borough?

  • PKMKII

    You've never been to South Brooklyn, have you?

  • laisla

    Or Bed-Stuy or East New York. Or Brighton Beach. Or anywhere outside of Park Slope and Williamsburg from the sound of it!

  • kcin122

    "doesnt this describe all liberal white, granola eating dads in brooklyn?"

    you boners happy now?

  • Think2wice

    Give me a Park Slope Douche any day over hood rats who'd stab you three ways to Sunday if they think you looked at them cockeyed.

    Not far from the truth...the (above) illustrated forms of life look like my neighbors; a fanciful blend of globetrotter and vagrant, hippie and hipster, and intellectual eccentric with moronic ne'er-do-well. I'm happy that my wife and I only live here, within our own uniquely fashionable if nondescript existence, while pretending to be someone else/ living somewhere else.

  • JohnnyOrchestra

    This is not ready for primetime. Keep it in your Moleskine.

    so i just went through a few of this guy's little internet flash-card cartoons.

    they are just incredible. this guy might be one of the great political artists of our generation.

    he has managed to pinpoint - before anyone else had - one of the most urgent and awful moral disasters we New Yorkers face: Park Slope, its denizens and, most frighteningly of all, the Park Slop Food Co-op.

    I am so glad that he has focused his amazing critical skills onto these horrible scourges of humanity because the rest of us web-users would never have found out about them. Furthermore, I am so glad that he mobilized his wickedly trenchant humor and stunning drafting abilities in the service of this valuable agitprop.

    thank you pete johnson. the raw power and originality of your illustrations has generated in me a whole new wellspring of productive vitriol towards my - to use your wittily subversive term - *douchey* neighbors. i can only hope that i am inspired to action: burn the brownstones! loot the coop! scalp the moms! smash the strollers! to the barricades... on 7th avenue and carroll... with pete johnson leading!
