I think I know that bartender…in fact I think I’ve been in that bar…in fact I have the weird feeling that I may actually be Jerry, or his cosmic soulmate. Spooky!
Ohhhh Jerry, your buffalo G-girls laughed and chuckled throughout your monolouge. I loved that I recognized the back of your head!
I think you are on to something.
Googly eyes, switcheroo nose and deadpan humor pulled me in…but how about some ebb and flow of energy? Maybe it’s just the steady, steady music, but I wanted the action to move. Writing kept me there. Popcorn is my favorite food.
And to think there was once a time when people said “Jerry? Who’s Jerry?”
If Seinfeld had a nose that could flip flop like that, he really could have
been somebody.
Reminded me of Harvey Pekar – great stuff. Proves that only the real stuff is funny. The pauses with the animation were beautifully done. Keep it going!
Absolutely genius !!!!! Hilarious ! We were on the floor laughing. What`s next my man? Just placed Jerry Time in my Favorite Places, cant wait for next episode
this gets funnier every time I watch it.
why was the popcorn machine there if you couldn’t have any??? I mean, really.
i’m looking forward to the next adventure. keep ’em coming.
oh, and the background music was superb.
JerryTime t-shirts for everyone’s holiday gifts this year…..great idea.
i loved it! i must have watched it 10 times-you never get tired of seeing it.i can relate to that situation. you should be called “Jerry Picaso”. i hope you feel good from getting all this positive feedback. cant wait for the next one!
Excellent! It’d be great if you could do a write-up on all it took to produce this. What software did you use? How did you decide on the style, the music, the graphics, all of it. It could help inspire and direct others. Me, I’m just in awe.
I thought it was very good. I liked it. The music is great….
I am waiting for the next episode. please try to have a
healthier diet….isn’t there anybody who could cook you a
good meal? come over…I’ll make you something healthy.
man, i love it!
if you can, try to sell it’s jerry time! sweatshirts. after all, it is kinda chilly out there. i might just buy a hoodie for the holidays!
Jerry, you`ve raised shlemiel to a new level of funny. And what`s with the eyes? Have you been checked for hyperthyroidism or Grave`s Disease? Check yourself out my man.
They can stick their popcorn where the sun does not shine.
When i go out to eat I will be served. I will be served like I am King Farouk or I will not tip nor will iIreturn to the restaurant. These are my god given rights as a paying customer.
Same thing happen to me Jerry. The barmaid wont give me any free pop corn. “Its only seved at night sir “she said. Jerry you were too kind to leave a tip. I just left.
thats so terrible! i would have not tipped her at all! you tip for service (and what you got i wouldnt even call service). your a good person not to demand what you ordered and complain to the manager (who, from what i can tell from the begining wouldn’t even care). you did a good (although not necesary) thing.
Take normal situations from daily life, provide easily recognizable characters with whom we can identify, and you’re in. I don’t know but there’s something about Jerry’s arms & hands slowly floating towards his body in the final scene I found entrancing. If you’ve gotten a big head from all this praise, it’s deserved. Right on artist! May your power to create continue.
It’s okay Jerry you didn’t need cornbread with a sandwich anyhow. That’s too much starch in one sitting especially with the potatoes. The two buck tip was too much though. The volume was very low on this piece.
…XK9: ” I have a few questions about your premiere episodes Who’s That Guy?! and The Landlord. First is that bar in the piece a real place?”
Jerry: “In Who’s That Guy?! the chain of events actually happened at a certain pub. We’re not allowed to mention the real name of the restaurant though. We called it Hennesey’s. But I did not exaggerate – everything you see happened. “…
Wow. very simple but from the heart. No exploding Saddam heads, dancing cats or bad BackStreet Boys lip-synch, but still a great video. In the end its the story and the emotion conveyed that counts. Mind you, exploding heads are good too. – marty
Great stuff ! ! I think I saw the bartender’s evil twin at Value City yesterday . .love the story, animation and visual style. When is Episode IV coming out ?? Oh – is the fridge still working ?
Dude,
You are so right. Never ever go back there. What you can do is find the most obnoxious bunch of guys, say a bowling team or baseball team, and suggest this place to them. You will do two things.
1. get the noise bar flies out of your favorite hangout.
2. curse this other dive with a bunch of messy, cheap, noisy bastards.

Omgoodness its orginal, down to earth, and has a way of making the veiwer feel empathy. Yes those are all good things! I just want to comment not only on this episode but on all three that ive seen( cant remebr their titles at moment) the grapphics or cartoon or whatever he is, is awsome. I love this and i am definatley a fan of Jerry Time!
Jerry… buddy… you are way too nice. When someone gives you bad service, you don’t tip. The tip is to say “thanks!” when you get good service. If your server is a witch, you fish all the change out of your pocket, pick out all the dimes and quarters, put the dimes and quarters back in your pocket and dump the rest on the table. BUT… make sure you never go back to that restaurant again because they’ll remember you and spit on your food.
That video made me laugh and it broke my heart at the same time. Great work.
Just read the article about this site in today’s Boston Globe, and had to come check it out for myself. HYSTERICAL! I can’t wait to watch the other episodes 🙂
I am so glad the Globe introduced me to JerryTime! I don’t know what drew me in more……your soothing voice, or your very large….puppy dog eyes. Give em hell Jerry, you can do it! I’m off to read the rest of the story……….entrancing.
I love the whole Jerry story. Thank you for making me smile, and for reminding me that as painful and awkward as my life may can sometimes be, that it’s also paInful, and often in the simplest of ways, and for no good reason, for a whole bunch of other Jerry’s out there. I salute you, my new urban hero.
[…] Jerry of the eponymous “It’s Jerry Time” reminds me more than a little bit of Leopold Bloom. They both possess the same attention to detail, social awkwardness, and obsession with money. Both endure perceived slights mostly in silence. In Episode 1: Who’s That Guy, Jerry even confesses feeling “alienated” by the bar management. […]

I followed a series of links that began with Defamer, led me to Amanda Congdon, and then somehow, here. I will go on to all the rest of your episodes, but I had to stop and say – and I’ve never commented on anyone’s anything on the net before – you are a comic & creative genius. Harvey Pekar comes to mind. As does R. Crumb. It’s something about the poignancy of your deadpan tone, your determination in the face of, forgive the oxymoron, hostile indifference.
itsjerrytime just got pride of place of my bookmarks bar. Thank you and thank you again.
[…] THAT SAID, we accept our boring inclinations, because we don’t have the energy to do anything about it. That’s right, we’re content to embrace our boring ways, dammit. Still, we wouldn’t mind being boring quite so much if we could be boring AND funny, like THIS GUY. This link is to his first episode of sublimely hum-drum life in the next-to-the-last lane, but if you’re already familiar with his work, JERRY has a new(ish) episode, about his not-so-very-exciting-but-lame trip to Gettysburg, PA. (there have been a total of 8 episodes, which you’ll find on the main page of his Vlog) […]
People people i know you mean well, but the bottom line is this: we are powerless. When you are assessed as not cool, not hip, or just not ‘sociable’ these places finish you off. You better do as he did, live a tip, and take it up the .. .. .. Turn to your faith, and your family, and try to live knowing you did your best. These are horrible people, who know everyone in town, and may have organized crime connections. Spitting in your food would be the least of your worries.
Think i’m paranoid? Well maybe, but the other thing is the ‘woman aspect’. While there is nothing wrong with feminism, modern feminism (and just any woman using her ‘power position’ is BS. And of course it was all orchestrated from the top: The owner guy sets the vibe and everybody goes along; the patrons will be of no help, because- they know- in a second- they will be banished too. Then it spreads ’round town. Hopefully my IP address will flip by the time this gets read.
Tips are a reward for good service. Don’t give one out if the wait staff didn’t deserve it. When they get stiffed a couple times they might realize that they’re doing something wrong; or they might quit and do something else. Either way, it would be a good thing.
Everytime I see this I think I want to go to Applebees and have their fried shrimp platter….with fries…mmmmmm….haha, but this was a great episode 😛 Everytime I watch your shows they make me feel so comfertable.
jerry is married
he’s a looser
who cheats on his wife
who is faithfull
soon to divorce him
jerry is a thief
and a liar
who hides behind a dark mask of sin and perverted ways
he has 3 daughers who are sick of him
he is about to loose his family behind crap like
this most of you are in phone list it dosen’t matter
God will finish what he started In regardless
I live in Needham, too. I saw an article about you in an old newspaper from 2006. It was in the Hometown Weekly. In the picture you’re with your brother, on some stairs, with bricks behind you. The headline reads, “And the Emmy goes to…some guy named Jerry.” Nice headline, hey? I thought it was a very funny. It sat around the computer for long enough, I eventually went to your website. I watched three videos. You’re funny. Are you still making funny videos?
November 12th, 2005 at 3:01 pm
You have set the bar very high for yourself, my good sir. Fantastic. Who’s playing the piano?
November 12th, 2005 at 7:17 pm
It is soo wrong..but still really funny.
November 13th, 2005 at 10:08 am
oHoo my goodness Jerry
You need a girlfriend!!
No your mother won’t do.
November 13th, 2005 at 10:09 am
I think I know that bartender…in fact I think I’ve been in that bar…in fact I have the weird feeling that I may actually be Jerry, or his cosmic soulmate. Spooky!
November 13th, 2005 at 10:19 am
That was very funny in a subdued Homer Simpson kind of way. The way you kept making Jerry’s nose move kept me mesmerized.
November 13th, 2005 at 10:50 am
Oy, What a kvetch! I wonder what’s gonna happen next!?
November 13th, 2005 at 2:01 pm
this is great stuff!
November 13th, 2005 at 3:22 pm
This is the film I always wished I’d made. Spielberg, look out. P.S. Can I get one of those t-shirts autographed? Very cool, Jerry, very cool.
November 13th, 2005 at 5:27 pm
Ohhhh Jerry, your buffalo G-girls laughed and chuckled throughout your monolouge. I loved that I recognized the back of your head!
I think you are on to something.
Oh, and we are very sorry about your blister.
We want signed T-shirts too.
November 13th, 2005 at 6:29 pm
You should not have left a tip.
November 13th, 2005 at 7:53 pm
I agree with Charles…and he ended up leaving 17% too…
November 13th, 2005 at 8:35 pm
Who is this guy? Funny. Loved the animation. I’m looking forward to the next episode.
November 13th, 2005 at 8:45 pm
I think you had a little too much fun with this, we had fun watching. I am laughing already invisioning “the landlord”. Can’t wait to see it!
November 13th, 2005 at 8:57 pm
You’re out. I didn’t say “Simon Says.”
November 13th, 2005 at 9:25 pm
lame
lots of effort though
November 13th, 2005 at 10:23 pm
Googly eyes, switcheroo nose and deadpan humor pulled me in…but how about some ebb and flow of energy? Maybe it’s just the steady, steady music, but I wanted the action to move. Writing kept me there. Popcorn is my favorite food.
November 14th, 2005 at 5:59 am
This is so Jerry. Brilliant!
November 14th, 2005 at 7:23 am
Very funny stuff. The Picaso-esque face is mezmerising. Keep it going!
November 14th, 2005 at 9:10 am
And to think there was once a time when people said “Jerry? Who’s Jerry?”
If Seinfeld had a nose that could flip flop like that, he really could have
been somebody.
November 14th, 2005 at 9:16 am
Jerry let me get right to the point.
Your my hero!
TP
November 14th, 2005 at 11:11 am
How funny! I enjoyed that very much can’t wait to see the next episode!
November 14th, 2005 at 12:51 pm
Oh my! I know that guy. I know that bartender. I want that popcorn!
Very funny! Can’t wait to see The Landlord!
November 14th, 2005 at 12:54 pm
Reminded me of Harvey Pekar – great stuff. Proves that only the real stuff is funny. The pauses with the animation were beautifully done. Keep it going!
November 14th, 2005 at 4:12 pm
My favorite part is when Jerry feels small like he’s standing on a stripe in the middle of the road.
I feel like that sometimes.
I think Jerry should have stacked the fries to make faux cornbread. Then it would have been REALLY funny.
But it was funny enough for me.
November 14th, 2005 at 4:26 pm
Loved it!
K
November 15th, 2005 at 6:22 am
Jerry’s ‘pan’ is soooo ‘dead’.
November 15th, 2005 at 6:24 am
Well, have you been back there to hassle that lady again?
November 15th, 2005 at 6:25 am
This is clearly a case of anti-Semitism. Call the ADL !
November 15th, 2005 at 4:07 pm
Rich Parker is lame. I love it!
November 15th, 2005 at 4:09 pm
Yeah Jerry! We love you and your homespun heroic ways. You are an inspiration to us all!
November 15th, 2005 at 10:00 pm
Brilliant. Short and sweet. Man I’ve felt that way a million times. You’re a great storyteller/moviemaker/freaky-eyed-blister-handed genius.
November 16th, 2005 at 4:38 am
I love it! I really love it!
November 16th, 2005 at 7:36 am
I watched it again, and it is definitely funnier the second time! I think I smell syndication rights down the road 🙂
November 16th, 2005 at 8:25 am
That was pretty well done. I’m going to throw myself off a bridge now.
November 16th, 2005 at 8:25 am
Wicked, i loved it
November 16th, 2005 at 8:26 am
cool, interesting looking
November 16th, 2005 at 8:27 am
Liked the texture of Jerry-very Podsienfeld
November 16th, 2005 at 8:28 am
Pretty funny
November 16th, 2005 at 8:29 am
It’s funnier if you know it’s a true story. I thought it was a script.
November 16th, 2005 at 2:51 pm
Well done, but still sad
November 16th, 2005 at 7:27 pm
Absolutely genius !!!!! Hilarious ! We were on the floor laughing. What`s next my man? Just placed Jerry Time in my Favorite Places, cant wait for next episode
November 16th, 2005 at 7:28 pm
That’s an amzing video
November 16th, 2005 at 7:28 pm
Jerry Time is fabulous
November 16th, 2005 at 8:34 pm
This is hilarious!! Sad, funny, and very clever!
November 17th, 2005 at 11:53 am
this gets funnier every time I watch it.
why was the popcorn machine there if you couldn’t have any??? I mean, really.
i’m looking forward to the next adventure. keep ’em coming.
oh, and the background music was superb.
JerryTime t-shirts for everyone’s holiday gifts this year…..great idea.
November 17th, 2005 at 11:56 am
PS – did you re-heat the fries and eat them for breakfast the next day?
November 17th, 2005 at 3:05 pm
Jerry, I am very impressed! This may warrant a kick-off party at the Medieval Manor 🙂 Let me know the date, and I’ll be there 🙂 Fabulous!
November 17th, 2005 at 3:10 pm
I love the just-stick-with-me-here pace. It’s great.
November 17th, 2005 at 9:36 pm
When it’s time for the Jerry movie, I have the pitch: “It’s Napoleon Dynamite meets Harvey Pekar. No stars. ”
A+ effort. The music, monotone delivery, surreal animation… it all worked for me.
My favorite line: “I mean, what kind of bartender says ‘Who’s that guy’ within earshot of a paying customer?” You just can’t write that stuff.
I will be anxiously awaiting The Landlord.
November 17th, 2005 at 10:21 pm
Why would somebody eat popcorn before dinner? You eat food for dinner, not popcorn!
November 20th, 2005 at 1:11 am
i’m hi and i love it
November 20th, 2005 at 12:13 pm
ha!
nice work
i recommend that you do more than one a month.
people won’t be able to wait….
November 20th, 2005 at 2:20 pm
i loved it! i must have watched it 10 times-you never get tired of seeing it.i can relate to that situation. you should be called “Jerry Picaso”. i hope you feel good from getting all this positive feedback. cant wait for the next one!

I am waiting for the next episode. please try to have a
healthier diet….isn’t there anybody who could cook you a
good meal? come over…I’ll make you something healthy.
November 25th, 2005 at 11:38 pm
Love you animated blog and great short film entry. I will have to blog your site in my blog for animation.
Keep up the great work!
Johnie
November 26th, 2005 at 9:35 pm
That was a hilarious movie-I like how his nose twitches back and forth and the female bar tender with a male voice.
November 26th, 2005 at 11:24 pm
great work! this is exactly the genre of short movies that i’ve always wanna watch 😀
November 27th, 2005 at 5:25 pm
man, i love it!
if you can, try to sell it’s jerry time! sweatshirts. after all, it is kinda chilly out there. i might just buy a hoodie for the holidays!
December 1st, 2005 at 10:44 pm
The Landlord is Awesome! We loved it. Well done Jerry!!
December 2nd, 2005 at 1:53 pm
Jerry, you`ve raised shlemiel to a new level of funny. And what`s with the eyes? Have you been checked for hyperthyroidism or Grave`s Disease? Check yourself out my man.
December 4th, 2005 at 5:13 pm
They can stick their popcorn where the sun does not shine.
When i go out to eat I will be served. I will be served like I am King Farouk or I will not tip nor will iIreturn to the restaurant. These are my god given rights as a paying customer.
December 6th, 2005 at 5:21 pm
Great job – like the animation, and the dialogue is great. A previous comment said you have set the bar pretty high, which i agree with.
Keep ’em comin’
December 7th, 2005 at 6:12 am
Jerry – your movies beat anything that my 70 some channels of cable offer. Start your own network!
December 7th, 2005 at 10:16 am
Awesome! keep up the good work. I feel your pain.
December 7th, 2005 at 5:19 pm
No, really, I am Jerry.
December 7th, 2005 at 8:19 pm
this is so super hot like really really hot, too hot to handle – like it burns, that is how super hot it is.
December 8th, 2005 at 12:00 pm
good stuff, I liked it .
try to tell something happy too .
yours ,
Itzik .
December 8th, 2005 at 3:14 pm
You tipped her too much. Should have left just a penny. And I work in the restaurant biz. You can’t encourage bad service with tips.
December 8th, 2005 at 11:31 pm
This is friggin’ genius!!!
December 9th, 2005 at 3:36 am
Excellent work. 🙂
December 13th, 2005 at 10:59 pm
I think I love you.
December 15th, 2005 at 9:41 am
just came accross your vlog! excellent! i am in love!
December 15th, 2005 at 5:49 pm
Incredibly droll humor,jerry is a genius
December 17th, 2005 at 2:35 am
Jerry,
Found out about you from Rocket Boom. Great stuff! Can’t wait for your time in Jail! You’re on my Fire Ant now!
December 18th, 2005 at 2:27 pm
This is genius. Great animation! I have had that same experience as well.
December 18th, 2005 at 7:35 pm
Great animation(s). I would have flicked a penny at her on the way out for the tip. Stay up Jer!
December 20th, 2005 at 6:15 am
Very funny, thanks for the laugh!
December 20th, 2005 at 3:45 pm
hahahahahah I am very happy you are making these.
I don’t feel alone anymore
December 22nd, 2005 at 8:28 am
I hope he gets beat-up!
December 22nd, 2005 at 10:00 am
Great stuff! Keep up the good work.
December 25th, 2005 at 12:29 am
what about hearing(and speaker) impaired? Can we get closed captioning? how else are we gonna sneak it at work?
December 25th, 2005 at 7:18 am
Awesome
December 26th, 2005 at 9:46 am
Same thing happen to me Jerry. The barmaid wont give me any free pop corn. “Its only seved at night sir “she said. Jerry you were too kind to leave a tip. I just left.
December 28th, 2005 at 5:39 am
Well, kinda “blah” but funny enough. Thanks for taking the time and effort to make it. I was entertained.
December 28th, 2005 at 4:02 pm
thats so terrible! i would have not tipped her at all! you tip for service (and what you got i wouldnt even call service). your a good person not to demand what you ordered and complain to the manager (who, from what i can tell from the begining wouldn’t even care). you did a good (although not necesary) thing.
December 29th, 2005 at 3:11 am
Take normal situations from daily life, provide easily recognizable characters with whom we can identify, and you’re in. I don’t know but there’s something about Jerry’s arms & hands slowly floating towards his body in the final scene I found entrancing. If you’ve gotten a big head from all this praise, it’s deserved. Right on artist! May your power to create continue.
January 2nd, 2006 at 10:36 am
It’s okay Jerry you didn’t need cornbread with a sandwich anyhow. That’s too much starch in one sitting especially with the potatoes. The two buck tip was too much though. The volume was very low on this piece.

January 6th, 2006 at 12:03 pm
Loved the animation. Like the narration. But hasn’t the down and out shmuck been done to death?
January 6th, 2006 at 12:10 pm
Well done! I love the style and the pace. What a great character!
January 6th, 2006 at 1:09 pm
Subject not worth the effort. Well done though.
January 6th, 2006 at 3:35 pm
I loved thi. Can’t wait for more. I love you!!
January 6th, 2006 at 9:09 pm
Wow. very simple but from the heart. No exploding Saddam heads, dancing cats or bad BackStreet Boys lip-synch, but still a great video. In the end its the story and the emotion conveyed that counts. Mind you, exploding heads are good too. – marty
January 8th, 2006 at 7:57 am
pretty cool…can’t wait for next episode!
January 8th, 2006 at 10:08 am
Keep up the good work, best of luck.
January 8th, 2006 at 7:06 pm
Great stuff ! ! I think I saw the bartender’s evil twin at Value City yesterday . .love the story, animation and visual style. When is Episode IV coming out ?? Oh – is the fridge still working ?
January 8th, 2006 at 11:34 pm
i loved the cg lips, the cg lips kept me going
January 10th, 2006 at 10:41 am
The way Jerry talks is verry monotone, it makes it hard to keep my eyes open.
Great stuf if you have a hard time falling a sleep.
January 10th, 2006 at 5:15 pm

You are so right. Never ever go back there. What you can do is find the most obnoxious bunch of guys, say a bowling team or baseball team, and suggest this place to them. You will do two things.

Omgoodness its orginal, down to earth, and has a way of making the veiwer feel empathy. Yes those are all good things! I just want to comment not only on this episode but on all three that ive seen( cant remebr their titles at moment) the grapphics or cartoon or whatever he is, is awsome. I love this and i am definatley a fan of Jerry Time!
January 18th, 2006 at 1:19 am
Jerry… buddy… you are way too nice. When someone gives you bad service, you don’t tip. The tip is to say “thanks!” when you get good service. If your server is a witch, you fish all the change out of your pocket, pick out all the dimes and quarters, put the dimes and quarters back in your pocket and dump the rest on the table. BUT… make sure you never go back to that restaurant again because they’ll remember you and spit on your food.
That video made me laugh and it broke my heart at the same time. Great work.
January 19th, 2006 at 1:45 am
Hot dang, that was great. The comments, too. Thanx for the laffs!
January 22nd, 2006 at 9:44 am
Man, that sucks. Honestly.
January 23rd, 2006 at 1:27 pm
Very funny! I will anxiously await for each episode.

Good site!!! I found your site in the google.

Tell Jerry I agree with him. Life is a bitch and then you die!
February 13th, 2006 at 5:43 pm
I like it.
February 13th, 2006 at 6:26 pm
Just read the article about this site in today’s Boston Globe, and had to come check it out for myself. HYSTERICAL! I can’t wait to watch the other episodes 🙂
February 14th, 2006 at 5:52 am
I am so glad the Globe introduced me to JerryTime! I don’t know what drew me in more……your soothing voice, or your very large….puppy dog eyes. Give em hell Jerry, you can do it! I’m off to read the rest of the story……….entrancing.

Nice site.

I love the whole Jerry story. Thank you for making me smile, and for reminding me that as painful and awkward as my life may can sometimes be, that it’s also paInful, and often in the simplest of ways, and for no good reason, for a whole bunch of other Jerry’s out there. I salute you, my new urban hero.
February 17th, 2006 at 10:26 am
Good stuff. I like the tone of your voice and the format is very creative. I want to watch more!
February 20th, 2006 at 9:38 pm
This one is easily the best. The supporting characters, in particular, make this an episode I’m sure I’ll watch till my dying day.

I think I’ve dealt with the rude girl before. I love it all, but especially the car. What is that blue car?

Beautiful tribute to the ordinary guy!

Boring!

Extremely funny stuff. What software do you use to animate this stuff? My hat is off to you sir. Home runs!

[…] Jerry of the eponymous “It’s Jerry Time” reminds me more than a little bit of Leopold Bloom. They both possess the same attention to detail, social awkwardness, and obsession with money. Both endure perceived slights mostly in silence. In Episode 1: Who’s That Guy, Jerry even confesses feeling “alienated” by the bar management. […]

I followed a series of links that began with Defamer, led me to Amanda Congdon, and then somehow, here. I will go on to all the rest of your episodes, but I had to stop and say – and I’ve never commented on anyone’s anything on the net before – you are a comic & creative genius. Harvey Pekar comes to mind. As does R. Crumb. It’s something about the poignancy of your deadpan tone, your determination in the face of, forgive the oxymoron, hostile indifference.
itsjerrytime just got pride of place of my bookmarks bar. Thank you and thank you again.

[…] THAT SAID, we accept our boring inclinations, because we don’t have the energy to do anything about it. That’s right, we’re content to embrace our boring ways, dammit. Still, we wouldn’t mind being boring quite so much if we could be boring AND funny, like THIS GUY. This link is to his first episode of sublimely hum-drum life in the next-to-the-last lane, but if you’re already familiar with his work, JERRY has a new(ish) episode, about his not-so-very-exciting-but-lame trip to Gettysburg, PA. (there have been a total of 8 episodes, which you’ll find on the main page of his Vlog) […]

Loved the graphics. The poor guy needs more in his life! It had a very unique Woody Allen vibe. Well done, Orrin.

I LOVE IT…YOU ARE SO RIGHT!

People people i know you mean well, but the bottom line is this: we are powerless. When you are assessed as not cool, not hip, or just not ‘sociable’ these places finish you off. You better do as he did, live a tip, and take it up the .. .. .. Turn to your faith, and your family, and try to live knowing you did your best. These are horrible people, who know everyone in town, and may have organized crime connections. Spitting in your food would be the least of your worries.
Think i’m paranoid? Well maybe, but the other thing is the ‘woman aspect’. While there is nothing wrong with feminism, modern feminism (and just any woman using her ‘power position’ is BS. And of course it was all orchestrated from the top: The owner guy sets the vibe and everybody goes along; the patrons will be of no help, because- they know- in a second- they will be banished too. Then it spreads ’round town. Hopefully my IP address will flip by the time this gets read.

I wouldn’t have given any tip…”no tip for you bitch”
December 18th, 2006 at 2:13 pm
Geeeeeez, that’s some blog you got going.

Awsome,, I`v had a simalar thing happen and it was wierd
December 11th, 2007 at 6:41 pm
Tips are a reward for good service. Don’t give one out if the wait staff didn’t deserve it. When they get stiffed a couple times they might realize that they’re doing something wrong; or they might quit and do something else. Either way, it would be a good thing.
December 27th, 2007 at 5:55 pm
Everytime I see this I think I want to go to Applebees and have their fried shrimp platter….with fries…mmmmmm….haha, but this was a great episode 😛 Everytime I watch your shows they make me feel so comfertable.
February 18th, 2008 at 11:37 am
very sweet, great animation. watched the whole series and started again.
but you should not have left any tip…
you should have walked out right away with the “Who’s that guy” comment.
or when the other guys were served before you.
But then you wouldnt be you. I hope you got her real mug here to embarrass her.

I live in Needham, too. I saw an article about you in an old newspaper from 2006. It was in the Hometown Weekly. In the picture you’re with your brother, on some stairs, with bricks behind you. The headline reads, “And the Emmy goes to…some guy named Jerry.” Nice headline, hey? I thought it was a very funny. It sat around the computer for long enough, I eventually went to your website. I watched three videos. You’re funny. Are you still making funny videos?
your fan,

Nice to see you make postings on this topic, I need to book mark this website. Just keep up the good work.

Jerry, I go through this almost everytime I eat out, lousy service and overcharged. It must be something about being from Buffalo ….
May 25th, 2010 at 8:20 am
