I think Willie is a fan, I'm not sure.
The Jerk is still of my favorite movies of all time...

When I was growing up the first version of the Jerk I owned was a VHS recording from the edited version that aired on TV. There was so much they had to edit out that they used alternate scenes for the broadcasts. I haven't seen these scenes in years. I have been searching for the airplane seats charity scene (6:21 in the clip)for such a long time.

Huge fan of the Jerk here, I had no idea there were edited scenes. My favorite part is where he was naked and kept picking up dogs along the way to cover himself.

I also loved how he licked the girl up her face and eye. I did that to some guy one time and he loved me bc he knew I was "referencing" the jerk.

My favorite comedy of all time. I laugh just thinking about scenes. Bernadette Peters' trumpet solo cracks me up.

Re: Any fans of the movie The Jerk

Grew up watching the Jerk, my mom loves it. Haven't seen it in years but we still quote that scene where he's moving out and saying, "And this is all I need." That and the dog named Shithead were the best.

I was told this was a documentary about my father.

I'm mildly disappointed it is not.

I've never actually seen this. When I hear of it I think of the bit from Freaks and Geeks. I should probably remedy that. Steve Martin is a real live renaissance man.
Did y'all know he's from Waco, Tx?? It's in the running for the least fun, ugliest place in Texas.

Re: Any fans of the movie The Jerk

And brother, there's a lot of competition for that award...

Re: Any fans of the movie The Jerk

It's a big place, so sure...
How would you know anyway?

Re: Any fans of the movie The Jerk

I been to Texas. Played in Houston, Austin and Dallas. Been from Sulphur Springs to Odessa. My brother was born in Laredo. My Aunt lives in College Park. Not sure there is a part of that state worth visiting that I have not done yet.

Though I guess I missed South Padre Island.

So maybe I know not of what I speak.

Re: Any fans of the movie The Jerk

I'll give you Dallas. I hate it so hard. College Park sounds like an apartment complex. Your brother being born in Laredo means fuck-all, right?
The Frio River is so pretty and fun it'll knock the sense out of you.
What were you playing?

Re: Any fans of the movie The Jerk

I love that you have a spine. I love that you fight back.

Laredo is right near the border, and in the middle of nowhere.

On that tour, bass. Don't make fun. I play guitar, and it was a gig. Booked and paid for.

Re: Any fans of the movie The Jerk

It's hardly a fight. I think you have to have your day clothes on to have a fight. I think once you're in pajamas it should be called something else. A scrap, maybe.
I know where Laredo is. I just meant your brother being born there doesn't really give you much first-hand knowledge.
I don't have any musical talent so I don't make fun of anyone on that account.
How did you find Austin and Houston?

Re: Any fans of the movie The Jerk

Sweaty and dry.

Ok. I was going to be funny and leave it at that, but good god damn those people in Houston are fucking huge. The chicks were like 6 foot tall with hips wider than a Hyundai. Just a giant bunch of humans. I was on a riser stage and I swear those folks were taller then me.

Re: Any fans of the movie The Jerk

We played a place called 'Trees' or some shit, some giant ass place in giant ass Houston.

The biggest problem I have with Texas can be summed up in one word: Texans.

Navin R. Johnson: Why are you crying? And why are you wearing that old dress?
Marie: Because I just heard a song on the radio that reminded me of the way we were.
Navin R. Johnson: What was it?
Marie: "The Way We Were."

Re: Any fans of the movie The Jerk

Mother: Navin, it's your birthday, and it's time you knew. You're not our natural-born child.
Navin R. Johnson: I'm not? You mean I'm gonna STAY this color?

copying and pasting is a lot of work

Unless your ellipsis was implying something of an unfinished sentence.
