The Store That Only Stocks 'Jerry Maguire' VHS Tapes | American Obsessions
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 фев 2017
- In January 2017, a new video store opened in Los Angeles that only stocks 14,000 copies of Jerry Maguire on VHS - none of which are available for rent or purchase.
Masterminded by video art collective Everything is Terrible, which began amassing this collection over 8 years ago, this "store" is functionally intended to be more of a hallucinatory, immersive experience.
To bring finality to their burdensome obsession, their next goal is to construct a permanent place to house their "Jerrys"; a giant pyramid in the Nevada desert.

Their final goal is to construct a giant pyramid in the Nevada desert (with indoor plumbing) built entirely out of Jerry Maguire VHS tapes. Seriously.

Why do you insist to push hate on white people?
It's white dudes playing with a joke. How's that hate towards whites? I'm not even white, and this isn't making hate them. This is actually hilarious and now I want to visit the Jerry McGuire a Shop, I heard they have a deal on VHS's. And visit the dune pyramid
+ForkInTheRoad What ????
Then please set it on fire.
This shit has gone too far.
please burn that shit down.
At first i was like wtf, but then i realized why not? It has the right amount of cheese and absurdity to it, and i think it's Godlike.
This is the kind of stuff i want to see from Vice.
MadPropzBaller agree
I wanted to hate this, but like you said... fuck it... why not
MadPropzBaller I agree. Loved it! The best humour
This humor is ridiculous and stupid. I want more please.
I agree with you, Sir. And you know what alse? This also serves as a physical place to reflect upon the wastefulness of our society. I mean, that is tons of paper, celulloid and plastic devoted to a film. I like Jerry Mcguire, but makes you think about all the other VHS's ever produced, movies that no one saw. I don't know, I think this can stretch way beyond this particular movie. I've seen many art installations with more funding and less sense.
This is the best fucking thing ever
A real man does not shoplift the pootie.
@Paul Corona I don't see how this resembles anything regarding sexuality. Watch your mouth, tool.
Agreed.
it really is man , it really is
It should be called "The Jerramid"
That looks like some vapor wave shit, but in real life
Vapor wave performance-art piece
maggot
or vapor /ware/ lol
A vapor wave video literally brought me here. I wish I were making that up!
Finally Vice posts a video that is relevant
Isn't the one with the big glasses on buzz feed?
Nur La grande Pretty sure he is.
Isn't he??
Nur La grande *isn't this one of the big glasses on buzzfeed?
yes
yes. oh how far Vice have fallen
it would be exciting if the floor was jerried. Without jerried floor is just ok
They did that in later installations, I think when the exhibit traveled to Denver.
brought to u by THE CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY and THE LETTER "T"
everything is terrible is such a gem
They speak the TRUTH. I used to see so many JERRY MAGUIRE tapes at the thrift that I took to putting copies of the video in the front of every row so it looked like the store had nothing but JERRY MAGUIRE videotapes. Then, years later, I heard that somebody else felt the same way I did about it! This is a senselessly beautiful thing.
this is so perfect. So often I'm at a garage sale or thrift store, and I see Jerry Mcguire on vhs. Literally 80 percent of the time. I've noticed it for years. Long before I ever saw this or heard about it I always laughed every time I saw Tom Cruise and his cheesy smile because it happens so darn often. please keep this up.
I've seen the guys behind this (Everything is Terrible) live three times now. It's some of the finest entertainment around.
I sort of get this isn't a joke, but this whole video is filmed like a joke.
It's a serious video about a joke.
Its a joke video about a serious art project. Not the other way around.
The paradox is mindboggling
The joke is that they're so committed to the joke, they're seriously going through with it.
Just think of it as an ironic postmodern performance art project.
Guys it's like Tim and Eric esque comedy. Don't take it so seriously. Watch EIT videos, they're pretty well-edited and funny.
oh so its shit...got it
@@nikadavise-br9lx oh so you're an idiot.... Got it
This is sad
It's a joke man, how many pyramids have you built?
I built the Giza pyramid
Oh man nice dude, that's a sick pyramid
Nah man, this is beautifull!
bloed augurk just like your girl
A pyramid in the desert that's made out of Jerry McGuire videos is, like, the fruiting body stage of the hipster life cycle.
That store looks really cool, almost as well kept and organised as the scene in Edward Scissorhands where the people are driving to work.
I don't know what to feel anymore
EIT is the closest thing i have to a religion.
Same here!
Same here
All hail our Lord and Savior Duane
it is a cult. I belong to the VHS. All hail Jerry!
I love EIT, but my heart belongs to Memory Hole.
tom cruise himself probably paid for this as some kind of ego self promotion!
Tom Cruise and every crew member from Jerry Maguire will be buried in the "Jerramid" when it is complete. They will each either be exhumed or willingly buried alive.
The man is a genius lol :)
Such an incredible achievement so far. I want the pyramid to be built!!
Hipster power levels over nine thousand.
You can't handle irony at this level!
"Building a pyramid of Jerry Maguires is not cheap"
I bet Vice doesnt know this was done as a joke and not an obsession
Except they’ve been working on it for 8 years, and have obviously put (and continue to) endless work into bringing the projects to fruition.
I love how comments are 50% people just laughing and having fun because they get its a joke, and other 50% are people that for some reason got ABSOLUTELY OFFENDED AND PISSED OF.
Guys, its a joke not a dick, dont take it so hard. If funny art installation and guy with glasses and mustache are enough to offend you, you should reevaluate priorities in your life. Because that is not healthy.
For me the funniest thing about this is the people who don't get it.
thank you for uploading this video vice. rly
So these guys made the Dwayne meme?
shane ツ yeah
one of my favourite youtube channels
Fuckin legends
This is fantastic! Thank you VICE for bringing another awesome thing to my attention.
omg, I cant believe yall are on Vice. I been watching yall forever.
This might be the weirdest thing I've ever seen online
Imagine stumbling on this, abandoned, and having no clue.
Check out their channel, EVERYTHING IS TERRIBLE. You will never get away.
Has absurdist humor gone too far?
...
The answer is no.
The only thing that would make this better is if neither of them had ever actually watched the movie
Reminder that this is the ONLY video vice has ever made that is important.
General buttnaked is upset
@@dawey8897 Aw, you're right. I can't forget about General Buttnaked.
1:36 The 90's called and it said it's sorry for style-puking all over you guys.
This is actually pretty inspiring making something out of negative nothing.
love it^^ Vice i hope you do a follow up!
brings a tear to my eye
So people are starving in some parts of the world, but thank god these guys have a vision about building a Jerry Maguire VHS Pyramid!
Yea, we could send all these Jerry Maguire VHS tapes to them so they can eat them!
You're right... I cant follow my dreams until Ive cured poverty. To the bat-mobile!
Stop being a fucking drama queen.
Not like random middle aged dude could do a shit about it. Why don't you take your ass to streets and stick a thumb up your arse. That would be a beginning.
TheRightToQuestion this is one of the dumbest videos I've seen by Vice. not as dumb as your comment though.
TheRightToQuestion
Following this argument would make everything besides eating enough to live meaningless.
SHOW ME THE MONEEEEEYYYY!!!
air dry
this is wonderful. All the luck in the world to you! Show me the pyramid!
I just stumbled upon all this and I'm just amazed how they found so many copys
this is great
This is fucking adorable, I wish them the best of luck
The best jokes are the ones that take $400,000 to pull off.
absolutely mind boggling
This is a joke right
Did you watch the video? Yes it is.
The joke is that they're actually doing it.
How fucking loaded can these guys be, opening a store on sunset bv that doesn't make any fucking profit
They didn't open actually open a store, the place is a gallery, so this is basically functioning as an art installation (what this video doesn't show you is that they also had a whole event organized around the installation, with live bands, prize giveaways, etc).
Loved that! This reminds me of an idea I had years and years back to make a video, where explorers find a crypt, and in it, I am sitting on a cobwebbed throne of unopened Magic the gathering fallen empire boxes. But structures made of VHS works much better lol!
im so happy by this. love u everything is terrible
This comment section is more cancerous than the spring water in Chernobyl.
Into how many hipsters would you have to have reincarnated into, to achieve this level of hipster.......
I'm so confused but also amazed.
this is freaking awesome, at first glance it might be really wierd, but people are crazy and it's wonderful to see
A part of me thinks this is funny and great. Another part think this is some hipster rich guy shit.
Francisco Feest conflicting isn't it lol
Francisco Feest why rich? people donated those tapes. the whole store costs just a rent, and it will be there for like a month, as an art exhibition. This isnt some shit they decided to do just because they had too much money and did not know what to do with them
well that's a lot of donations
I hope this is a joke.
Erich P it's more absurd, which is the point.
I hope they build that Jerry pyramid, and one day, far off into the future, an alien race arrives and sees a shining light glistening off in the radioactive distance, signaling them to come into the pyramid and be enlightened by the tapes. Maybe even transcend their mortal coils to become one with Jerry. Who knows? 👍
It's the grandest shit post ever createst
3:01 sacred part of my childhood, as currently seen on Smile
I just wanna say there’s a chance this’ll be in history books in a couple years
Is this a shitpost?
Wasted 9 mins of my life that i can nvr get back...
"Yea but seriously bring that back. We need that." Lol
@1:37 the guy on the left is like "Why are these guys my friends"
Vice is dead guys 😂
I cant believe I watched this entire thing..... And of all movies??? lol...How bout us normal folk pay for and build this "Pyramid" and lock all the hipsters world wide inside FOREVER :)
Spoken like a true normie
beautiful
You had me at Dwayne.
This is a little absurd and off the charts, but brilliant. Love it :)
"I never thought I would live long enough to see this..."
I remember when I was a kid when the movie released wal mart electronics section looked like this store
these guys are great
This truly is art.
I love the tackiness. Would definitely do a pilgrimage to this.
I absolutely adore this. This is the weird internet come to life shit I've been waiting for!
This is the greatest thing I have ever seen.
This is amazing
"Suki, can you VERY GINGERLY pull that string"...LOL.
This is the best thing ever... seriously
Oh, this is definitely, hard to believe.
I was at the shop! ;P Good luck with the pyramid!! Can't wait to visit it 8-)
My mom once bought a Jerry Maguire VHS in 1997 in California. That was twenty freaking years ago!
That postal worker has so much culture
Everything is terrible is a helluva channel.
I decided to buy Jerry Maguire on VHS just for the heck of it. One day they might be gone, sitting as an eternal brick in this awesome project. I want to own a copy for myself.
truly an inspiration to us all. dont let ur memes just be dreams.
This is inspiring.
At first i was like what's this bs? But then i thought wow it could be like a monument to all former scientologists!
This is true art.
The real question is how did they think of this before South Park?
"You had me at hello"
i want this to be a thing!
Have they started building it yet? I would totally go see it!
Jerry McGuire part 2 or remake would be awesome.
WOW...Jerry Maguire is my favorite movie of all time.
Finally,How I love Everythingisterrible! too much they are getting more famous been a fan since 014 or 013
This is art in its truest form. Warhol smiles down upon them.
never heard of them but the everything is terrible concept seems really sick
I like that this is happening. This is good.
What RUclips channel can I find the videos they mentioned. Reimagined 80's movies?
