    #TheJerk (1979)
    Simpleminded, sheltered country boy suddenly decides to leave his family home to experience life in the big city, where his naivete is both his best friend and his worst enemy #SteveMartin

  2. Freak Kitchen is a Swedish rock band. I saw them back in 2003 when they performed shows with the Faroese band Týr (one of my all time favorites).

    When I listened to their song Shithead paying attention to the lyrics I noticed this:

    > Shithead is a true companion
    > He'll guard your precious thermos
    > You can use him as a cover
    > To hide your "special purpose"

    This is a reference to the Steve Martin film The Jerk (1979).

  3. Got this text from a young friend yesterday. My first thought--"This is the kind of spontaneous publicity I need." Does anyone but me get that joke? #NamingGotham #NYC #NewYork #History #historymatters #historybuff #NewYorkCity #LinkNYC #TheJerk #histodons @histodons

  4. Of course, the true star of “The Jerk” is this very good boy

  7. Someone please get me on a better #earworm than this:
    "I’m picking out a thermos for you.
    Not an ordinary thermos for you.
    But the extra best thermos that you can buy,
    With vinyl and stripes and a cup built right in!
    I’m picking out a thermos for you,
    And maybe a barometer too,
    And what else can I buy so on me you’ll rely,
    A rear end thermometer too"

  8. I just learned via Tik Tok that there was a TV movie called “The Jerk, Too” which was a “reworking” of the classic Steve Martin film “#TheJerk” which I love. #SteveMartin didn’t write or start in it and was just credited as an Executive Producer. The intro and theme song were appalling and I can’t believe this abomination exists. Or that Steve let it happen.
