I chose Spader because he was just so annoyingly smug. What a douche!!!

Billy Zabka wins hands down. His role in Back to School alone makes him one of the most unlikable douche-bags to ever hit the screen. The guy knows what he is good at, and he brings it every time.

Queen of the 80's PG Movie should be my title. No Last American Virgin, Revenge of the Nerds, Porky's...all those movies have no resonance at all. That television was on lock, so I couldn't even sneak and watch on HBO.

There are no redeeming qualities to Roy Stalin. He's 110% smug, obnoxious a-hole.
Don't listen to Stalin kid...he's a punk! Now you show how a skier really skis.
