If you needed any evidence that 2022 is going to be just as awful as 2021 and 2020 then our January 2022 Jerk of the Month should leave you with no doubt.
At least prior to 2022 it appeared as if at least the governments and people cared enough to scare you about Covid, but it seems 2022 is an open slather for who gives a shit anymore, and a lot of the people in our nomination list are by-products.
The current climate brings out the best and worst in people, and this bulging list of nominations is certainly proof of the latter.
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 January 2022 Jerk of the Month “winner” awaits your vote below.

CORONAVIRUS – OMICRON
variante dolore
Whilst the latest strain of Covid seems to be less deadly to humans, if has not had the same effect on people running the show, or the people complaining about various issues with it all.
One can only hope it is so contagious it infects it’s own arsehole and dies.
SCOMO
bufón de sonrisa afectada
Not content with winning the recent 2021 Jerk of the Year, Scomo aka The Smirking Peanut has started off 2022 with momentum.
Aside from his general incompetent boobery, and Dilligaf towards most regular people, the RAT supply merely highlights
Declaring that not everything can be free, the PM declined to give RATs away to the Australian Public at first, despite the fact that it was now the preferred testing vessel due to the clusterf–k that regular PCR had become.
And then offering it up to Pensioners and Health Card holders, but doing nothing about supplying them so no one gets them anyway.
But of course, the NSW Government manage to get their hands on millions of rats so their state can prove the right thing to do to win elections is send kids back to school on time.
Another example is washing his hands of the blame for Novak Djokovic, until his voters went ballistic, then all of a sudden the Federal Government are involved, and making the headlines, including the post Friday 4pm email of doom when they announced Novak’s departure.
We could go on, but there’s too many of his friends to mention. One is next.
SHANE WARNE
rodeado por su propio culo
Shane Warne thinks he is Australian cricket.
And it feels like that’s all we heard this Summer. What Shane Warne thinks.
His campaign to ruin everyone’s summer with unlimited self references and opinion has almost worked. With many tired of cricket based solely on an overdose of Shane Warne.
NOVAK DJOKOVIC
Bufón de la corte
Talking of that departure, Novak Djokovic really was quite the jerk in January 2022.
Catching Covid then going to presentations with kids. Hitting tennis balls in a mall while affected with Covid, hanging out with a journalist while infected, and then trying to say that this should cover him for entry into Australia, where the No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service notice was pretty clear.
The carry on and martyrdom were so over the top, an then a subsequent threat of legal action merely just confirms how big a jerk he is.
AUSTRALIAN OPEN ORGANISERS
caos organizado
At fault for Novak Djokovic even getting a sniff of getting into the Australian Open, when it was pretty clear he shouldn’t have been.
Then after lobbing that hand grenade they disappeared into shadows not answering any questions about it.
Then came banning the T Shirts for Peng Shuai.
Then reinstating it when they looked like jerks.
They are jerks. Hence the nomination.
AUSTRALIAN OPEN CROWD
malos modales
We thought Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Oi, Oi, Oi was the worst thing that could come from a crowd.
But the Australian Open fans have mainly embarrassed themselves with some ordinary behaviour, and being called out by some of the tennis stars.
DANIIL MEDVEDEV
Villano
Daniil Medvedev was the Australian Open villain, and he seemed to love it.
So did we, it takes us back to a simpler time when the Jerk of the Month full of tennis players and much funnier than it is now.
His Final performance just as good as the whole tournament.
BORIS JOHNSON
teta incompetente
Who’d think a grown man who can’t brush his hair would be an incompetent buffoon.
But being useless doesn’t mean you get Jerk of the Month nominations. Attending parties while telling the rest of the country is in lockdown certainly is.
Lucky the current Queen Elizabeth is number Two and not One, or he may not have a head.
BARNABY JOYCE
cara de tomate
The Deputy Prime Minister claimed that people in Australia weren’t dying from Covid.
It’s the only reason you’re happy for Scomo to keep hanging around. That and keeping Peter Dutton out of being PM.
GEORGE CHRISTENSEN
Otro looney del norte
RICHARD COLBECK
caos organizado
This JOM politician is actually a federal minister – for Aged Care Services.
But instead of doing his job and answering questions about why there are so many older Australians dying in nursing homes because of Covid, he was at the Cricket.
TOM TATE
vetus vehiculum venditor
Mayor of the Gold Coast Tom Tate for the hypocrisy of getting up people for having Covid parties, yet giving it to the Queensland Government for not letting Covid rip.
We’re sure it’s not the last we’ll hear of Tom Tate in the Jerk of the Month.
Remember when Warwick Capper wanted to run for Mayor of the Gold Coast but forgot to fill out the form. What a shame.
POLITICIANS IN GENERAL
caos organizado
After putting the fear into people about Covid for two years, and locking parts of the country down for weeks for a handful of cases, they essentially give up when the sh!t hits the fan.
We can’t get the restricted years back, but are then made to feel somewhat guilty for not going out and spending and living your life because of the above two years of fear wen there’s tens of thousands of daily cases.
They gave up on advising of case locations, and providing general help with symptoms or help after catching Covid. leading people to turn to Facebook to help each other.
All the while, ramming the same messages down throats and blaming each other and various levels of governments for whose fault everything is.
And the conspiracy theorists and Anti Everything folk think the governments cooked Covid up.
Well, not ours anyway.
HILLSONG
cantando hipócritas
Just in case you forgot, this church was allowed to cram people in and sing and dance when normal venues for normal people weren’t.
Of course the religion loving NSW Premier and PM along with the NSW Police can do nothing about it.
ANDREW O’KEEFE
el precio esta mal
The Price is certainly wrong for former game show host Andrew O’Keefe.
OK, so maybe that’s not his show, but the show he put on in the back of the police van certainly is a change of pace from his game show days.
SOME MK DONS FANS
Robadoras de nombres
As if MK Dons aren’t bad enough for stealing the Wimbledon Football club and trading under their name Dons for decades, now some have hit a new low.
Abusing our favourite footballer in the world Adebayo Akinfenwa.
Akinfenwa aka The Beast is widely known as one of the greatest humans in football, but that’s not enough to save one from vile abuse so bad the game had to be stopped.
They may have won the game, but continue to lose respect in the football world.
JOE ROGAN
bocaza
Loud mouthed Podcaster who has plenty to say about Vaccines, Covid and even Australia from time to time.
ANTI VAXXERS
caos organizado
Funny, the Anti Vaxxers are all about the Governments lying to the people.
Pretty sure the governments don’t create fake Facebook accounts, to deliver a fake story about a fake Covid death to scare people out of wanting to save themselves and their children.
Or attempt to create legal letters for sale to spread their anti-vax message on behalf of school children. A lot who are more sensible than the adults and getting vaccinated.
Or printing out Vaccination statements at Officeworks. Why not stand behind your Anti Vax stance, or is the pub to much to give up.
In addition to everything else.
As we said in the intro, 2022 really is no better.
