Douchey Moments in History

Welcome to another edition of Douchey Moments in History!

Before we get started, we just want to say thank you so much for the Christmas stocking, murgy31! We love it!

Now, on to the douchefest!

"You're kind of being Mr. Attitude about the whole thing."
So, the fact that Luke is on his way to a meeting at Grimaldi Shipping, and therefore can't stay

The most brilliant "Noah is a douche" post ever! You said everything I've thought about when watching these particular episodes.

Imagine a situation where you walk into a coffee shop and see the man you [allegedly] love and a professor who has been making inappropriate passes at you nearly coming to blows. In what universe would you immediately jump into the fray to defend the sleazy professor and to assume the man you [claim to] love was to blame?
I was so over Noah by this point. Taking another guy's word over you bf? Seriously? Seriously?

You would think Luke had been standing in front of him, shouting, waving crap in his face, and shaking the ladder.
HA HA HA. Right?

And yes, I completely agree with you (and Noah) that Noah acted as he did because he wanted to punish Luke, though he knew somewhere that it really wasn't Luke's fault.

I've got to say the Mason s/l is one of my faves just because it finally made me realize how Noah could be selfish and so quick to put Luke second.

And around this time is when I knew that Noah wasn't right for Luke anymore.

Having just recently watched every minute of Noah's screen time from the time he first joined the show until the last episode before Reid came to town, I honestly don't think there were very many times when Noah wasn't selfish and didn't put Luke second. It's really kind of astounding how remarkably consistent the writers were with the way they characterized Noah, isn't it?

"You're kind of being Mr. Attitude about the whole thing."

This seriously just baffles me. He just said he has to go to a meeting, but he popped in to see Noah on his way. Which was totally sweet of him. But nope, not good enough for Noah!

"When the film is done, and Mason gives me my grade, the collaboration is over."

Yeah, emphasis on the second part there, Noah! Even though he knows Mason is acting inappropriately, he's putting his own goals first. And he doesn't believe that Mason said it was open season, but he doesn't think Luke is lying. Er...so which is it? But he just pushes it all aside because his movie and his grade is way more important to him than Luke or what Mason is doing.

In what universe would you immediately jump into the fray to defend the sleazy professor and to assume the man you [claim to] love was to blame?

Not only the douche universe, but the universe where your movie comes before your boyfriend! Asshole.

Can Noah really be that self involved that he thinks the dean actually gives a flying fuck

Yeah, emphasis on the second part there, Noah! Even though he knows Mason is acting inappropriately, he's putting his own goals first.

We should just start calling it "pulling a Noah" anytime Noah puts his own needs ahead of any needs any other person on the planet might have.

And of course, the complete hypocrisy here of Noah not caring about honesty or the right thing when it's HIS ass/desires on the line is just amazing.

Actually, at this point, I think I might be amazed if Noah had acted any other way!

Awww, Damian being all emo and upset about the accident. *draws fangirly hearts around Paolo*I love Paolo so much! Why did ATWT have to throw his character under the bus? Why couldn't they have kept him around as a interesting character who was painted in a lot of shades of gray? I mean, sure, he would almost certainly have lost Lily if it had come to light that he had known all along that Holden was alive, and that he'd had an affair with Meg to keep her from spilling the beans, but he still could have stayed in town and worked

[bigboobedcanuck]

Seriously! Because they're hacks and terrible, terrible storytellers. And when they decide to throw someone under the bus, they back up a few times to make sure the character is well and truly destroyed.

Part two, because my cup of Noah hate runneth over

[bigboobedcanuck]

And when he first appears, it looks like it might be promising, as he's initially he's all smiles and niceness to the whole family... except for Luke. The moment Luke tries to hug him, he backs off in what appears to be revulsion, and you can feel the temperature in the room drop to somewhere around absolute zero.

This was when I checked out of their storyline and started FFing them. I would have just deleted my season pass but since the show was ending, I figured I might as well see the other storylines I was watching to the end. But Nuke's toxicity had final reached critical mass and I just couldn't take Noah's treatment of Luke any more.

So, in the end, we do have something to thank Noah for after all, because Luke never would have met Reid if Noah hadn't been such a total DOUCHE.

Thank goodness we got something good out of this awful relationship! Thank you for the excellent work in archiving the Douchey Moments in History. Kudos!

This was when I checked out of their storyline and started FFing them.

I only ever really watched the clips, and the last clip I posted here was the last clip I watched for a long time. Things were getting busy at work, and I just decided that I could not deal with going through eight more months of watching Noah treat my beloved Luke like dirt. I just figured that was it, the show was ending soon anyway, and I would just never watch the show again. And all through tax season, I didn't watch it. Then, after tax season was over, I saw some people talking about this new guy on the show, and when I went back to the point where I had previously stopped watching, I was kind of amused to discover that the show had started getting good on the very next clip after the one where I had decided to give up!

Re: Part two, because my cup of Noah hate runneth over

[bigboobedcanuck]

Hee! Even after Reid arrived, I was still FFing them. I saw a minute here or there and noticed that Eric was a good actor, but I never for a moment thought Reid was gay or an actual love interest for Luke. I FFed right through Reid coming out, LOL. fenwic squeed about it to me, and I had to go get that week's eps out of the TiVo trash to watch.

And the rest, as they say, is history. :)

[amelialourdes]

Omg so much more to say but this:

The moment Luke tries to hug him, he backs off in what appears to be revulsion, and you can feel the temperature in the room drop to somewhere around absolute zero.

WHICH WASN'T THE FIRST TIME HE DID THAT.

OH, NOAH. YOU STUPID DOUCHE.

This series was so fantastic and I loved this last installment in particular! God, Noah's douchey behavior just went up and up and up until it hit the ceiling. This is definitely around the point where I stopped watching the show. It just felt like torture to have to see them fight, fight, fight and Luke trying to help and make it better and Noah being a douchey ass to him about everything. Lord.

So, in the end, we do have something to thank Noah for after all, because Luke never would have met Reid if Noah hadn't been such a total DOUCHE.

Seriously, that is the one thing that I can thank him for. Bless you, Noah. You gave us Reid in a roundabout way. \o/

[peggin]

God, Noah's douchey behavior just went up and up and up until it hit the ceiling.And it keeps on getting bad after this. I mean, I left off here for the douche posts because the next clip is where we're going to start our re-watch, but God, Noah continued to be amazingly douchey after Reid arrived. Like how, when Luke admitted to Noah that he'd blackmailed Reid to come there, but that it was a total bluff and he didn't actually have anything on him, Noah was NOT AT ALL upset that Luke had done that, because, hey, Reid was there and he was going to perform the surgery Noah needed! Then Reid said that there was too much damage to do the surgery that day and he was going back to Dallas, and suddenly Luke was a scumbag for blackmailing Reid and it was all Luke's fault Reid wasn't going to operate. Then, a little later, when Noah goes to Reid and is all "I don't know what Luke and I are... I have problems with him, too", it's like.... sure, Noah, your well defined sense of morality makes you so upset with Luke's methods... just not upset

[pink_pants]

I can't even talk about Noah anymore or watch the clips because he depresses my stupid face off. So I thank you - for organizing and presenting all these clips coherently, but most of all for having the perserverence to sit through all the boundless and immeasurable amounts of douchiness!

Let's have a toast for the douchebags, baby!

I can't exactly explain it, but I've really enjoyed going through all of Noah's douchiness. It hasn't been nearly so much annoying for me as it's been cathartic.
