The mug is round. The jar is round...They should call it Roundtine.

The difference between me and Jerry is that Jerry's time wasting is his job.

I, on the other hand, can only waste time when out of job.

If i waste time within a job, i eventually end up with no job at all and too much

time to waste, whereas if Jerry wastes time in his job he ends up with no time at all

and too much job!

Such an inspiration to the comedy world. His dedication and his ability truly makes for an all around perfect comedy experience.

it sickens me to read comments all over all these youtube videos because almost always people threaten others, bring religion into things, constant insults and nothing constructive... generally. i mean, who cares if hes jewish. also why threaten him? if you dont like his comedy, then why are you watching this video?

Fuck you! What the fuck is wrong with you guys, he's actually hilarious, and if you don't think so? Hey, it's your opinion. But don't bring his religious beliefs and or death threats into this

I love Jerry. His stand up may not be funny to me but to some people it is. I thought he was amazing in Seinfeld. I will always love that show.
