The Jerk

[MChance]

Caught a few minutes of this before I made my morning rounds. This movie is hilarious! It's been so long since I've seen it, so this morning was quite enjoyable. The cat jugglers. His head spinning all the way around when he realized his check was for $250k, not $250. Etc. Good stuff ... doesn't get much funnier than The Jerk!

And that's all I need! And these matches.

I wish they still made good rated R comedies...

"First I get my name in the phone book and now I'm on your ass. You know, I'll bet more people see that than the phone book."

For some reason, I saw this thread and was thinking of The Pest, with John Leguizamo.

McLovin'... you just quoted my signature (sort of)

I put the Jerk in my top 10 movies of all time. The comedy is classic Steve Martin, and it is pretty consistent from beginning to end. IMO some of the best comedy ever written and delivered
