Some believe that the usage of the name as pejorative stems from the Dane Cook standup comedy routine "The Friend That Nobody Likes," In the this Cook says:

There is one person, in every group of friends, that nobody likes. You basically keep them there, to hate their guts. When that person is not around the rest of your little base camp, your hobby, is cutting that person down.

Example: "Karen, is always a douchebag."

Every group has a Karen and she is always a bag of douche. And when she's not around, you just look at each other and say, "God, Karen, she's such a douchebag!"
