It looks like a made for tv sequel to Joaquin Phoenix's Joker.
@Saleem Frazer 😒
The Joker Too
It says a lot that the Steve Martin New Show promo spot was funnier than everything in The Jerk Too combined
Somehow I suspect "The New Show" might've even been better than this.
"Now on DVD: The Jerk. Comes with a free coaster."
It would be like when I was shopping for Indiana Jones blu rays. The box sets with "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" were cheaper than the ones without it.
This hurts as much as "Caddyshack 2"
I still prefer this to Caddyshack Two.
@@jeremyusreevu237 fair call.
Don't you mean Caddyshack "Too"? It was almost as good as Back to the Future Too, and T-Too (Terminator Too).
Heil Honey, I'm Home was a better effort. At least it had jokes and not someone being stupid for an hour and a half.
Shockingly, this might be worse than three whole unaired seasons of a Blazing Saddles series. What garbage.
John Sebastian sounding like a poor man's Randy Newman.
Ironic, since Friday’s was a rip off of Saturday Night Live.
It looks like just a guy doing schtick for the whole runtime, with black parents shoehorned in there because reference.
Now I just want to go and watch Robin Hood: Men in Tights.
@Steven Makell What are talking about? That movie's awesome. It's no Blazing Saddles, but I like it better than Spaceballs.
@Steven Makell I hear you. Spaceballs and Life sticks weren't funny to me either. But Robin Hood cracks me up.
Knowing this exists make me sad...
Especially since The Jerk was one of my favorite movies from my childhood.
I actually heard of the Jerk Too. But I never saw it.
Also, there's a Splash Too? Oh no.
Cinema Snob should review “Splash Too”.
And in answer to your question:
Yes, it’s real!
Yes it’s exists!
See it for yourself: ruclips.net/video/2l2EmfVPUxk/видео.html
To make matters worse, Disney’s “The Little Mermaid” almost didn’t get made because Disney was busy developing a sequel to “Splash”, and they didn’t want to compete with two mermaid movies.
Yes really! ruclips.net/video/WasEtuSK8VY/видео.html
Like a lot of terrible sequels, the original cast didn’t come back, so Tom Hanks was replaced by Todd Waring; Daryl Hannah was replaced by Amy Yasbeck; and John Candy was replaced by Donovan Scott.
Like “The Jerk Too”, Mark Blankfield also appeared in “Splash, Too”, ironically enough.
Teen Wolf Too, too
It was so bad.
I bet even the three stooges would tell this movie it needs to tone the stupidity down.
0:28 WTF, Snob, You made me go check to make sure it really was Carl Reiner who made The Man With Two Brains.
I think that movie is weird and culty enough to review here. It's also disgustingly funny with a riotous performance from... Kathleen Turner, David Warner, Steve Martin? [checking imdb] Some guy named Jeffrey Combs? Combs? Probably a coincidence.
Jeffrey Combs? Sorry, pal. The only Combs I want to watch is Julian Combs, breakout star of VR Troopers.
Ah, the mid 80s, where they decided every summer movie needed to have a TV pilot. This proto Forrest Gump meets Rain Man (via the Graduate) meets PeeWee's Playhouse is an oddly star studded weird fest, but proably worse than Splash Too, (which I have seen). How about Teen Wolf Too and other Toos. Jerk Too is a fantastic trainwreck, but it's not fantastic, just incredibly bad.
They managed to make the protagonist less sympathetic than the psychopathic antagonist, which is quite an achievement.
I saw this back in 1984. Even at 5 years old I thought it was really stupid.
I was 13 back then, and I'm glad I missed it.
@Trumptard Idk. I know I was.
I hope you had a successful recovery from that viewing.
@@DTD110865 lol
@12:55 How did the quality get so good then go back to crap?
RIP Carl Reiner. You were one of the greatest.
I can explain Jean LeClerc's IMDB Photo. It's a screenshot from his murder on the ABC soap opera "Loving." Most of the old cast on the show was killed off to make way for Loving's short-lived spinoff/replacement, The City, which starred Morgan Fairchild.
There was a mass murderer who killed off various characters, and Jeremy Hunter (Leclerc) gets plastered to death.
Jeremy Hunter was also initially a priest who was successfully seduced by Erica Kane on All My Children, but that is neither here nor there.
Actually, the photo is from a movie called Whispers based on the book of the same name by Dean Koontz. In the photo he is a corpse, post autopsy. I can't reveal any more without spoilers. He was very good in it by the way.
Ray Walston & Martin Mull? 🤨 wheres Ski Patrol Too.
No I don't believe you! This movie can't be real!
Edit: Christ what the hell is this? I'm amazed Carl Reiner didn't die of shame
I'm sure when NBC is stuffing money in your pockets you don't give 2 shits!!
I mean... maybe he did.... maybe they tried to force him to do a third one
'TOO'. Because poor literacy means your sequel isn't very good.
That dance scene was clearly added later the production quality isn’t even the same
They probably needed to fill 5 minutes.
Only here. I have the DVD - it's HQ the whole movie.
They totally messed up in their goal of making a sequel to The Jerk, but on the plus side, they almost accidentally made Pee-Wee's Big Adventure. Unfortunately this was only a year before the actual Pee-Wee's Big Adventure.
This movie just makes me sad.
The most dissapointing part is that it's not called Jerk Too: Electric Boogaloo.
This is the type of feature that feels way longer than it is due to how painful it is to see Navin in every scene. Seeing a plot about Count Marco would make more entertainment and that is without him being particularly interesting. I do need to check out that Gary Busey feature now. I have a bit of a thing for that joker. He is like a box of chocolate you never know what your gonna get.
12:56 - 13:57 why did the quality of the footage change?
It's like when Wizard of Oz suddenly goes from black'n'white to full color.
Yeah, it went from VHS to almost HD.
More than likely the dance scene was filmed after the fact to fill in an extra 5 minutes or so.
In the context of the movies, the term "jerk" is not referring to a mean person. The exception "what a jerk" was a way of saying "he's a fool" or an idiot. Now, we use it to say a mean or selfish person.
RIP Carl Reiner. Now I know why MeTV was showing all of those Carl Reiner commercials.
12:00 Holy shit the Villan is John Carpenter
I THOUGHT THE EXACT SAME THING!
That theme song sounds exactly the way people do an impression of Randy Newman.
The Jerk is one of my favorite comedies of the 70s and I had no idea this movie existed.
Is no one going to point out the EXTREME upgrade in quality at 12:55?!? I swear I thought Brad was making a joke by putting in a scene from a different movie with the same actor to make it look like it’s in this movie! Can someone please explain this?
HOW MUCH DID THEY PAY THESE PEOPLE!?!?!?!?!?
Is it just me, or does this TV version of Navin remind anyone else of Jaquin Pheonix's Joker? He's goofy, painfully unfunny, and I keep waiting on him to crack at any moment.
Uh, I think that's just you.
I would have liked to have seen Navin blow away his girlfriend's fiancee.
I remember the movie Summer School, and that mini gore fest on there. Oh great it's also a, Forrest Gump Movie!😅 What is this movie?!😆I never watched The Jerk but, I know about it. What in the actual fuck?!😅😁😂😆Great he just came.😁The Jerk Too's tagline, is wrong. He's stupid but, he's not a jerk.😒
All those efforts to find at the end, that Mary is actually a robot.
3:48- I was also thinking of Forrest Gump with that voice.
9:29- Yeah, me too, since Mr. Mom was the first Martin Mull movie I ever saw.
14:34- And this is the closest we'll ever get to a crossover of "Oy Vey, My Son is Gay!" and "My Baby is Black!"
18:01- At least no one's fucking the balloon ala narrator in Fun in Balloon Land.
"This movie is the worst sequel in Bayview history"
"Bayside."
"There too."
so is this a failed tv pilot that became a tv movie
Pretty much! Just like “Splash Too” (go to 0:48).
@@beethovensfidelio I've seen splash too
Don't forget Teen Wolf Too
This is a terrible sequel!!! He looks like screech from saved by the bell!!!🙀
0:30 Nice List *_Turn the Video off_*
Please never ruin Arthur for me by exposing my eyes to on the rocks. I’ve been clean for so long
How about reviewing Wh*or*e 1991? I would if I could...Brad.
I've been wanting to see Cinema Snob review some Ken Russell movies for a long time.
Maybe 2021 will give us Russuary.
And I thought the wedding scene from Who’s That Girl was wacky! Also theres a random horse here??!? Well, at least it’s not talking or farting.
OMG, I watched that new show when it premiered... they made fun of Billie Jean.., Michael Jackson’s video
4:25 ... what was last week’s episode? STAYING ALIVE 2: STAYING ALIVELIER?
8:05 is this when Conan’s dad pulls out his father sword and says: “this... will _never_ betray you... don’t betray me now!” and cleaves him right in half?
11:53 well, it _is_ called THE JERK.... TOO
15:45 I love how whenever the villain does something villainous, his theme is a red alert claxon.
18:39 I knew there was a reason I watch your videos.
16:25 I’d like to think this guy lost his biker bar and became homeless after the T-800 smashed the place up before stealing his shotgun and sunglasses.
You know it's a shit movie when there are no videos or trailers on the IMDB entry.
How did Mark Blankfield totally manage to redeem himself in Robin Hood: Men in Tights?
Dumbsploitation... is that a thing??
Martin Lewis and Jim Carry's filmography say yes.
Dumb lives matter
Failure without Steve Martin lol. Goddamn it.
Wow! An “Oh, God!” And an “Arthur 2: on the rocks” reference in the same episode? This is a greggheads dream come true!
I actually remember "Oh, God: Book II." And there was also a third movie called "Oh, God, You Devil!" Yes, George Burns played both God and the Devil in that one.
has there ever been a good "Too" film??
Winnie The Pooh And Tigger Too
The Girl With The Dragon Tat Too
That's all.
A Bridge Too Far
The Man Who Knew Too Much
Twitches Too
....that's all I got
Mannequin Too
What about:
Terminator Too
Alien Too
Oh God there's a little Harold and Maude in here too. I suspect this script was written by a dude snorting copious amounts of coca cola thinking it still had cocaine in it, because the 80s.
So this was basically a reboot before that was even a term? Also, this hurt to watch. Like Marci X levels of hurt.
@bigevilworldwide1 Those I think were termed remakes, rather than reboots. The Return of Godzilla later in 1984, that's definitely a reboot.
bigevilworldwide1 Don’t forget the 1976 remake/reboots of King Kong and Miracle on 34th Street!
So it’s a sequel that’s a reboot?
I saw this on TV and no one believed me, I won many bets with people. I didnt even make it to the end of the movie.
Where’s The Comic on that Carl Reiner list?
2:54-3:05 (Yes it is)
3:41-3:48 (Who asked for that!?)
5:21-5:26 (Just... Why?)
6:35-6:37 (My thoughts exactly)
10:10-10:15 (Is he??)
13:09-13:11 (My thoughts exactly!)
13:49-13:56 (God I wish)
14:14-14:17 (Please!)
16:16-16:19 (Yes. Yes it is)
18:19-18:28 (🤣🤣🤣🤣)
18:38-18:48 (if only)
I absolutely forgot this existed. Why must I be reminded of this stupid movie
I'm so glad I missed this back in 1984. Probably because my dad watched Dallas and Falcon Crest religiously.
RIP Carl Reiner. Another great person we lost this year. With the virus going on, we have lost Kirk Douglas, Olivia De Havilland, Little Richard, Jerry Stiller, Regis Philbin, Peter Green from Fleetwood Mac, The Asian guy from Mythbusters, John Travolta's wife, The composer who wrote the iconic score for "The Good the Bad and the Ugly", Nick Cordero, Joel Schumacher, Vera Lynn, one of the Pointer Sisters, Ken Osmond, Fred Willard, Betty Wright, Roy Horn, Bollywood actor Irrfan Khan, Shirley Knight, Ed Dawson from "Green Acres", Brian Dennehy, Honor Blackman, the actress who slapped Roy Scheider in "Jaws", the voice actress of Cindy Bear from "Yogi Bear", Kenny Rogers, Lyle Waggoner, Max von Sydow, James Lipton, Baby Peggy, Jason Davis (Mikey from "Recess"), Robert Conrad, Orson Bean, Kevin Conway, Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gianna, one of the Monty Python members Terry Jones, the son of J.R.R. Tolkien, Rocky Johnson, Stan Kirsch from "Highlander", Buck Henry, and Neil Peart. Who else will die in the last months of 2020?
Did you say Abe Lincoln?
I loved Mark blankfield in The incredible shrinking woman with Lily Tomlin. I think he actually stole that movie....
From 1977 to 1984, NBC was a struggling network, and it's no surprise they had crap like this on their lineup. At least shows like St. Elsewhere, Hill Street Blues, Knight Rider, Cheers, Different Strokes, Night Court, Gimmie A Break, The Facts of Life, and Family Ties survived those dreadful years. I didn't add The Cosby Show because that was part of the 84-85 season.
0:48 Speaking of “Splash, Too” (the sequel to the 1984 fantasy romantic comedy “Splash”) you should review that film, Cinema Snob!
And yes, you read right.
They made a sequel to “Splash”.
Yes, it’s real!
Yes it’s exists!
See it for yourself: ruclips.net/video/2l2EmfVPUxk/видео.html
To make matters worse, Disney’s “The Little Mermaid” almost didn’t get made because Disney was busy developing a sequel to “Splash”, and they didn’t want to compete with two mermaid movies.

Like “The Jerk Too”, Mark Blankfield also appeared in “Splash, Too”, ironically enough.
I remember Summer School for the Godzilla costume scene lol. Wanted that costume so bad.
Somebody should take Snob's "What in the actual Fuck" and splice it after every scene in this flick.
Ray Walston or not, I am not missing Benson or Dallas for this garbage. Unless Brad does commentary every episode. LOL The mom from What's Happening is in this.
Ray Walston *and* Gwen Verdon? Is this what Mr. Applegate cursed Lola with after he lost Joe's soul?
You should take a look at this one blaxploitation movie called "Soul Vengeance", where the main character uses his giganto-penis to strangle bad guys.
Aldo, please take a look at Japanese horror movies? House (Hausu), Sweet Home, Junk, and the like.
I thought this movie was going to be silly fun but it's annoying. Also I need context for @0:08 because (@_@")?
I watched, Splash Too. It was bad. But, this sequel/backdoor TV pilot is far worse.
Must watch Jekyll and Hyde together again immediately to cleanse my pallet of this monstrosity.
You do understand the word "jerk" used to mean stupid, right? The title of The Jerk was not meant to indicate that the character was (or ever turned into) a mean person. Hell, even after he struck it rich, he was still a pretty nice guy. Gave money to charity, sent a lot of it home to his family. Sure he throws a hilarious shit-fit in one scene (with the paddle-ball and the remote control, etc.), but he never really turns into what we today would consider a jerk, because the word didn't mean that then.
In the '70s (and possibly prior), if someone was considered easily jerked around due to stupidity, they were a jerk. But somewhere in the '80s it went from stupid to mean. Same thing happened with the word "asshole" hence the whole "How many assholes have we got on the ship anyway?" sequence in Spaceballs. Once upon a time it indicated stupidity, but then it changed over to indicating that someone was mean, and it was no longer a comment on their level of intelligence. Words do that sometimes.
i used to look forward to watching the New show, hosted by Michael Nesmith from the MOnkeys.
No, that was Television Parts.
I sometimes think that Steve Martin, who produced this abomination, made it horrible intentionally in order to make the original, and therefore himself, look even better by comparison.
I was hoping to see %100 smug condescension and only got 99.9. Oh well.
Is that Darlene (Sara Gilbert) from Rosanne telling him the bull can't use it's sleeve ? 4:09
Wasn't Steve Martin in his '50s when he did the first movie? It's a joke people
Wow. It's so unfunny even Snob can't make a review of it amusing
Splash too,Teenwolf too,Look Who's talking too
RIP Carl Reiner!
Yay, I probably watched Dallas instead
Why does a huge chunk of this movie look like it's set in the 30's? I never saw the first one, so does that happen there too?
14:07 ngl I laughed at that joke haha
I never knew this existed. I wish I could still say that.
So I guess Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid is number 6
On the plus side, this movie has potential to be funny if Bad Lip Readings ever decided to use it for some reason.
I need to watch good film to cleanse my palette what the heck did I just watch?
Jekyll & Hyde: Together Again. Same actor but MUCH better farce with same actor. Palate cleanse and memory override.
Can you do Oh God (1-3)? That would be awesome!
Barry Ingham is wasted on this movie.
Man, I miss appointment television.
Everyone would watch the same thing at the same time & spoilers didn’t exist
It’s a lot like a 1980’s Bubble Boy.
now how the hell dudes back look like his front too with a deep v?
This movie made me laugh alot more than you do.
...they really did retard up navin, didnt they?
