<P> Crazy Ira ( Matt Besser ) and Howard `` The Douche '' Tuttleman ( Nick Kroll ) are two shock jocks of a morning zoo - style Pawnee radio program . They serve primarily as a parody of those types of radio shows , especially in a small - town market like Pawnee . The show prominently features fart jokes and `` your mom '' insults , as well as constant sound effects from their sound man `` China Joe '' , who hates his job . Crazy Ira and The Douche are widely admired in Pawnee , especially by Tom Haverford , and are considered much better than their rival radio show , `` Tubby Tony and The Papaya '' ( who never appear on - screen ) . They first appeared on `` Media Blitz '' when , during an interview with Leslie and Tom about the upcoming harvest festival , they revealed their true motive was to lambast Ben for his failed tenure as a city mayor during his teen years . The interview proved disastrous for Ben , who was so socially awkward he could barely talk , and it led to other Pawnee media taking on the story and nearly ruining the harvest festival . The Douche reappeared in `` The Fight '' , when he went on a date with Ann to the Snakehole Lounge bar . This came at a time when Ann was regularly going on a string of dates with random , underachieving men , and the date with The Douche led to a major argument between Ann and Leslie because Ann was supposed to be preparing for a job interview Leslie had arranged for her . Later , on his radio show , The Douche dismissed both Ann and Leslie as likely lesbians . </P>
