Covid restrictions and lockdowns may be easing up everywhere, but that hasn’t led to an easing in jerks around the world and in Australia. Our October 2021 Jerk of the Month nominations are here to remind you of that fact.
Yes it’s that time of the month where we assemble the biggest jerks and they come from all walks of life. Some regular Jerk of the Month nominations, some return after a break, and some fresh new newcomers. All of them have something in common – they are or have been jerks in October 2021. In most cases before October.
Determining the month’s biggest jerk is ultimately up to you, the reader of this website. So read the form guide, and vote now, and vote early and vote often. For as many of the candidates whose cut of jib you dislike.
The October 2021 Jerk of the Month. “winner” awaits your vote.

CORONAVIRUS – DELTA AND THE VARIANTS
variante dolore
Live coming soon at Twin Towns Entertainment Megacentre is Delta and the Variants.
No that’s no commentary on the re-opening of the QLD-NSW border, just an attempt at humour using something and the somethings. Much like how Caribbean nation St Vincent & The Grenadines sounds like a great band name.
Anyways.
Most of the nominations are related directly or indirectly from Covid, so it should be the first Jerk of the Month nomination really.
The ultimate Party Pooper continues to poop on life, and therefore deserves another month at the top.
SCOMO
mendacem risus
Let’s be honest, most of the Australian Covid shamble is mostly Scomo’s fault.
Mr “It’s Not A Race” is now taking all credit for vaccine rollouts and easing of restrictions like a true politician.
Then off to the G20 to lie like a true politician.
The smuggest face in Australian Politics needs the smirk wiped, and you can deliver that with a JOM vote.
ANTI-EVERYTHING PROTESTERS
iter ad nihilum
Anti-Everything Protesters are gunning for a third straight Jerk of the Month win.
Which would be ironic given a lot of the people protesting probably don’t like Donald Trump, the only other person/thing to win three or more in a row.
Maybe they do like him now. Who knows. More importantly, who cares.
Armed with Facebook posts, poorly constructed placards and the narrowist of minds, these protestors are a constant pest to the rest of society.
In general these Pro Freedom, Anti Everything protestors are an unpolishable turd, but the recent efforts in Melbourne are next level oxygen thief.
Thankfully the reward for the above is they probably caused another super spreader event, thereby extending the lockdowns they are protesting.
MICHAEL SLATER
inanis sui momenti
Michael Slater has found himself here in the Jerk of the Month nominations on quite a few occasions, mainly for being the most self-serving cricket commentators in the universe.
And for his hypocritic blast at Scott Morrison earlier in the year which saw him win the May 2021 Jerk of the Month title.
This time he is nominated after he was charged over a Domestic Violence incident, merely topping off what a jerk he is.
Now the charge itself is bad, but added in with a lifelong career of self importance, it is instant JOM nom.
At least it has made the Channel 7 cricket coverage 300% more watchable now.
NOVAK DJOKOVIC
ipsum lob off rupe
Dubbed No-Doubt Jerkovic by one of our Work Experience people, the well known tennis player is back for another serve.
After allegedly spreading Covid last year like Sydney Limo driver after parties and tennis tournaments, now Jerkovic is up in arms about requirements for vaccinations to play in the 2022 Aus Open.
Like Slater, the sport will be better for his absence, and a JOM nom is well earned.
PEOPLE WHO COMPARE OZ COVID LOCKDOWN TO NAZI GERMANY
brevis memoria
Lockdowns have sucked during Covid in Australia and around the world.
Lord knows how people of Melbourne and Victoria stayed reasonably sane during the world’s longest lockdown.
However.
To compare the lockdowns to the World War Two atrocities is real jerk work.
First of all, in general most lockdown are occurring in people’s own homes, not giant concentration camps.
Secondly they are allowed to do certain activities including shopping, unlike some during WWII who starved to death.
Within these home is an unlimited amount of entertainment options. Not forced labour.
But still people go on with the Nazi comparisons.
Like this mother who dressed her kids in Jewish WW2 outfits.
Or this balloon head in Melbourne wearing concentration type clothing spouting racist gear.
Fair enough if you don’t like lockdowns. Or Dan Andrews. But comparing staying inside to a holocaust is so 21st Century over-the-top selfishness we’ve come to expect in the Jerk of the Month.
RADIO PERSONALITY ACCUSING NZ PM OF “JAB RAPE” AND EARTHQUAKES
non dignitas is
As if using the term “Jab Rape” isn’t bad enough, they then say the NZ PM is to blame for earthquakes.
You would almost gladly give up all internet and go back to computers at local libraries so not to hear the opinions of all people.
Especially this one.
COVID RULE BREAKERS
anti ovis
Tasmania – Sent Hobart into lockdown by being a jerk.
Gold Coast – the guy on the Gold Coast who travelled interstate somehow, got Covid, ended up in hospital, allegedly acted like a jerk in hospital must have been surprised when he had Covid since he didn’t believe in it. Of course he had liked Anti-Vax stuff on the internet.
Fake Doctor – someone posing as a Doctor to give people exemptions for Vaccines. They’ll probably prefer a JOM to jail time.
People Too Good To Wear Masks – a recent trip to a retail giant saw mask compliance around the 95%. But there were some notable exceptions. Now we’re not saying that a certain demographic doesn’t wear masks. However the only people who didn’t wear masks on this occasion were in the group of Caucasian 20-40 year olds. All of them. Often hunting in packs of two. So typical though that the age groups most wanting freedoms to go to pubs and go overseas were the more likely not to wear a mask. And they would have got away with it if it weren’t for the smuggest of smug smirks on their faces that screamed “Look at me, I’m not wearing your mask, Sheep”. Ironically their grin and behaviour making them look like Scomos.
AMERICANS TELLING AUSTRALIANS WHAT TO DO
sua diam
The US is in such great shape that they even have time to tell Australians how terrible our life is, and even march on our behalf.
And indeed while it certainly sucks at times, and for some more than others in Australia, the US are hardly in any glasshouse to comment.
Happily they can go and f— themselves with a Jerk of the Month nomination.
TYRONE MAY
nil conlationem
Having played around thirteen seconds of the 2021 NRL Grand Final and made as a person who is suffering a heart attack can do while trying to reach for their phone, Tyrone May took to social media after the win to give everyone a spray.
The Penrith utility who contributed little to the 2021 Premiership success felt the win justified his awful behaviour towards a woman a few years which earned him 300 hours of Community Service.
Given his position and actual contribution to the title he should have stayed quiet and accepted the slice of good fortune. Now he is arguably Penrith’s most hated player, brought some shame on his club, and could be fired anyway.
REFEREE PUNCHER
nolite ferrum se
Referee jobs are hard enough these days at the top level with Social Media ready to crucify any decision made anytime. That’s at the top level.
So at least lower down referees aren’t under such scrutiny.
Sadly they are also less protected and occasionally face real violence, not keyboard violence.
Like this Jerk of the Month nomination who attacked a referee after a Gold Coast rugby league match.
PERTH BBQ SHOP’S RACIST BURGER
bene factum stulti
Sadly, this is the best behaved of the group of Jerk of the Month nominations.
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world.
