"Es ist geil ein Arschloch zu sein" (English: "It's Cool to Be an Asshole") is the debut single of German singer and Big Brother Germany contestant Christian [de].
In 2000, 28-year-old Christian [de] was cast as a housemate on the German incarnation of the reality television programme Big Brother for its second series.
Shortly after the series started, he designated himself the "Nominator" and displayed rude behaviour toward the other contestants, especially Hanka Rackwitz, and talked about himself narcissistically while also attracting criticism for his bad acting.
Using his popularity as a springboard, Christian recorded and released his debut single, "Es ist geil ein Arschloch zu sein", soon after he departed the programme.
After remaining at that position for another week, the song gradually rose up the Ö3 Austria Top 40 until peaking at number three on 28 January 2001.
