Serena Williams, Phil Rothfield & Strawberry Saboteurs win September 2018 Jerk of the Month

The votes have been counted and Serena Williams, Phil Rothfield & Strawberry Saboteurs win September 2018 Jerk of the Month.

Serena Williams continued a strong history of tennis players and jerks, making up for the fact that the names Tomic and Kyrgios will missing from this month’s nominations.

Phil Rothfield got the nod for being the worst of the negative NRL journalists.

Strawberry Saboteurs were are no-brainer given how much of a Jerk act it was to needle a couple of strawberries.

A diverse group as ever for the September 2018 Jerk of the Month. And deserved.

Don’t forget you can always nominate one yourself for October anytime by contacting us at contact@thegugler.com.

September 2018 Jerk of the Month Winners

Serena Williams

Why is she nominated?

For chucking a massive tantrum. A world class tantrum like our best of all time...

The claiming every prejudice under the sun to justify it.

Jerk Rating: 3 / 10 – right category of sport to be nominated. We’re not angry with Serena, just disappointed.

Phil Rothfield

Why is he nominated?

For being the worst of the NRL Media Jerks who rarely have anything good to say about the game.

Grumpy bugger who should buzz off.

Jerk Rating: 8 / 10

Strawberry Saboteurs 

Why are they nominated?

For ruining strawberries for everyone for no apparent reason.

Nice work to hurt farmers more, because they can really afford it.

If caught, should be punished with an acupuncture session they will never forget.

Jerk Rating: 8 / 10

SEPTEMBER 2018 JERK OF THE MONTH VOTING RESULTS

Here’s the final results for September 2018 Jerk of the Month voting.

September 2018 Jerk of the Month Also Rans

Bruce Highway

Why is it nominated?

Simply one of the most useless pieces of roads in South East Queensland.

Whilst the major thoroughfare to the Gold Coast continually gets calls to expand its generous lane allocations even further, the north side artery has become a two lan tourism killer.

Going up the coast on any weekend has become a giant pain in the arse, with a massive delay almost guaranteed due to roadworks, an accident, or driver slowing down to admire and respect the magnificence of the Big Fish Tavern.

It’ll never be fixed as no one can afford to do it, nor afford to take the blame, so Mr Bruce Highway can get f’d and cop their September 2018 Jerk of the Month nomination.

Jerk Rating: 8kph/10

Wallabies

Why are they nominated?

For losing unwinnable games against New Zealand, and losing unloseable games against Argentina.

Although, we don’t particularly care for them.

Jerk Rating: 3/10

Dickhead Wallabies Fan who went after Lukhan Tui

Why are they nominated?

Despite our dislike of the wallabies, and the small joy we take from every loss, we certainly wouldn’t go and try to rough up one of their players.

Maybe it is because we are a lover not a fighter and The Gurgler, or that we just have no care factor on rugby at all.

But like the Dragons fans who burned jerseys, people need to calm the F down and realise that it is sport. Sure it can be frustrating, and pointless (as many an Ipswich Town fan who confirm), but no sports star deserves what Lukhan Tui got on the Goal Coast this month. Not even an underperforming rugby players.

Hopefully the clown who did it got the ban he deserved. Or even funnier would be making his punishment going to every wallabies game around Australia next year, but not allowed to touch alcohol.

Jerk Rating: 9 / 10 – give yourself a punch to the face instead of a sporting team.

Douglas Costa

Why is he nominated?

For spitting into an opposition’s mouth.

The Juventus player tried his hardest to be sent off recently against Sassuolo, and merely needed to spit in another players mouth to get some time off. That’s after a couple of fouls which could have led to the red card much earlier.

Jerk Rating: 9 / 10 – it doesn’t get much lower.

Peter Dutton

Why is it nominated?

Backing up his August Jerk of the Month win with another crack at the monthly jerk title.

This time it is for his involvement in helping his connections keep their nannies in the country while getting rid of everyone else.

And for being  jerk.

Jerk Rating: 9 / 10 – one of the least likeable pollies in Australia. No wonder the Liberal Party almost decided for him to be PM.

NRL Media

Why are they nominated?

Very few sports on earth eat their own young like the NRL media does to itself.

Sure, some of the players are king size boofheads, and sometimes it is hard to see the positives in rugby league given the inept management of the game, but the continual reporting of all the negatives is tiresome.

The recent hunting of the Bulldogs was particularly bad. 

Mainly Sydney based journos, as Brisbane ones wouldn’t dare given News Ltd ownership of the Broncos.

Jerk Rating: 7 / 10

QRL

Why are they nominated?

For not getting involved in showing any PNG Hunters games on TV in 2018.

Still hard to believe the team that almost doubles every crowd for the QRL, and were defending premiers couldn’t get a TV game. We’ve already moaned about this earlier, and it still annoys us.

Jerk Rating: 5 / 10

Donald Trump

What for this month?

Nominated every month this year, he is a permanent fixture in the monthly nominations.

This month we particularly like his attempt to convince people about the wetness of the recent Hurricane.

Amongst his general behaviour.

Jerk Rating: 10 / 10

Big Banks

Why are they nominated?

Their recent and distant behaviour has been uncovered at the Royal Commission, truly jerk worthy.

They celebrated by raising their interest rates for fun.

Jerk Rating: 10 / 10 – real C’s.

Foxtel

Why are they nominated?

For jacking up the cost of Foxtel for Movies and TV shows that we’ll never watch.

Fox Cricket better be worth it. At least it doesn’t contain Michael Slater.

They have lost the Champions and Europa League to Optus too.

Jerk Rating: 4 / 10

Isaiah Crowell

Why is he nominated?

For his wiping arse celebration in the NFL

Jerk Rating: 4/10 – Probably a one off as he apologised not long after.
