Douchey Moments in History
Welcome to another edition of Douchey Moments in History!
"Maybe this is about you being jealous"
You've got to love the way Noah always seems to take ANYONE'S side, other than Luke's. In this clip, Luke overhears Ameera calling the prison and trying to talk to Col. Mayer, after she had told Noah she wouldn't. Luke tells Noah about it, and Noah isn't at all upset with Ameera for lying to him and going behind his back, and somehow by the end of the clip, Noah seems to have made it all about Luke somehow being the one in the wrong, when all Luke did was tell him about it.
"Dammit, Luke, we have no reason to be suspicious of her!"
Pretty much more of the same as in the last clip. Here, we see Noah bending so far over backwards to give Ameera the benefit of the doubt that he twists himself into a pretzel. That in itself might not seem that douchey until you realize that, once again, Noah is taking ANYONE'S side other than Luke's. Compare the way Noah automatically extends this benefit of the doubt to a woman he barely knows while he always seems to automatically extend to Luke pretty much the exact opposite -- it's like, not only does Luke not get the benefit of the doubt, but everything he does, Noah just automatically assumes it's wrong. And that? Is pretty douchetastic.
"You shouldn't have turned her over to the police"
Here we get to see again that the only real "moral code" Noah has is, "things I want = moral; things I don't want = immoral." Noah's father had escaped from prison, he took off for New York with with Ameera, and Noah went to look for her. Then, when Luke couldn't find Noah he went to the police. How dare he! I mean, really, if there's an escaped murderer on the loose and someone you love is missing, how could you possibly think going to the police could be a good idea? Oh. Wait. It IS a good idea, unless you happen to be a DOUCHE!!!
"You don't know what [hell] is."
Noah has just watched his father jump into the water and disappear, and he is presumed dead. This is the same father who, when Luke suggested maybe Noah should try to reconcile with him, Noah leapt down his throat for it. So, how the hell can Noah be such an incredible douche that he would have even the slightest problem with the man he claims to love deciding to bring the police to go after a man who tried to kill him TWICE and whose hired henchman had just knocked him unconscious the previous day?
You've got to particularly love the way Noah says that Luke doesn't know what it feels like to be going through hell. Yeah, cause it's not like anything bad has ever happened to Luke. Being brought up by a father who was strict but had never given Noah a reason to believe he was violent until recently is just so much worse than being kidnapped multiple times and/or nearly dying from a kidney infection. Of course, it all makes sense when you realize that Noah's pain is the only pain that matters. Douche is not a strong enough word for Noah here. Frankly, I'm not sure there is a strong enough word or phrase for the way he acts here. Maybe scum sucking emotionally abusive asshole?
This ends today's edition of "Douchey Moments in History: Noah Mayer Edition" -- I'll be posting future editions from time to time from now until December 19th -- the next edition is scheduled for Friday, the 26th.
