Jaws 4: The Revenge, by Richard Jeni (stand-up routine)

On the road, sometimes I have nothing to do so I sit in my hotel until 4 in the morning and watch cable movies. I figured out that there are two types of movies on cable: the good ones, and the ones that are on when you're home.

I'm hanging in there to see something good, like Gone With the Wind. I was just sitting down and boom... Jaws 4: The Revenge. What a suprise. I actually sat there and watched it. If you have any doubt that you are wasting your life, spend a night with one sweat sock and a bag of shitty popcorn watching Jaws 4: The Revenge. You know what the title should have been? Here's a Fish, You're a Moron.

Have you ever seen a movie where they don't even try to have it make sense, they just slap you in the face with how shitty it is? You're sitting there, and you're going, "Maybe this movie isn't so bad and maybe I'm not wasting my life," and the movie slaps you in the face and goes:
Yes you are.
and you say "Are you sure?" and the movie continuously slaps you and says:
Yeah. Absolutely.
"Well how do you know?"
Well, look at you *slap* sitting there at 4 in the morning *slap*, with one sweat sock *slap* and a bag of shitty popcorn *slap* watching a movie about a shark *slap* that only kills one family out of an ocean full of perfectly *slap* edible *slap* people *slap* for no reason that we ever bothered to explain *slap* and we can't pry you off the bed with a spatula because you think it's bound *slap* to *slap* get *slap* better *slap* if you keep watching.

Because that's why you're watching it. You're going, "It cant be this bad! It must get better!"
But have you ever seen a movie with a plot that's so bad, even if you were stupid... even if you were the supidest person... if you had no brain... I mean imagine it you have no brain. It's a spinal cord, a sweat sock and a bag of shitty popcorn, and your spinal cord's sitting there going:
"Hey hey hey!!! I'm only a spinal cord, but even I'm getting a little pissed off!"

If anyone has seen the movie they know I'm not making this up. The mother of the family has about 4 members of her family killed by the shark in about a week. So, a genius in her own right, the mother forms a plan... she says:
"Well, the shark is obviously after my family. There's only one thing to do. We're leaving town."
And you're sitting there, eating the shitty popcorn going, "Leaving town? Isn't that a pretty severe diversionary tactic to avoid a fish? I mean, wouldn't an apartment building suffice?"

OK, let's say he's a very ambitious shark. By the time he gets out, rents a car, drives to the apartment, comes up the elevator... you would probably smell fish and split out the window! So I'm sitting on my bed going, "Well, why doesn't the mother just not go in the water? Wouldn't that make more sense?" and the movie goes:
Yeah, well it would, but again this is stupid. *slap* You see, in a stupid *slap* movie *slap* like this everyone in it is stupid. The mother is stupid *slap* the people who made it are stupid *slap* but none of them are quite as stupid as YOU *slap* are, because it is now 4:30 in the morning and you *slap* still *slap* think *slap* this *slap* shit *slap* will *slap* improve *slap*.

And I'm not saying that a movie has to be perfect, I mean... it's a movie... but this fish is doing what fish don't do. He's faxing people. HE'S A FISH!! Fish don't do shit! I've caught fish. They're not too brilliant. I have outsmarted fish with worms that don't belong in the water. Think about it: There's a worm that does not live there, on a hook that will rip his face open and this fish is sitting there thinking:
"Oh, what a lucky break: breakfast hanging right over my head
Now I'm not saying that I'm a genius, but it's a basic thing. I mean, if I jump into a pool and there's say... a hotdog on the bottom of the pool, I dont care how hungry I am, there's a few questions I want answered before I chow down. At least I want to know why no one else ate it. Then I'll climb out, grab a bun and some mustard and jump back in, and if you do then you deserve to be on someone else's wall hanging there and having people ask you:
"What are you doing there?"
"There was a hotdog... the bottom of the pool... I'm tired of talking about it. Dust me."

So anyway, now the mother's leaving town, and where does she go?
THE BAHAMAS!
I mean this is an ideal place to go to avoid a shark! What are the chances of a fish being... say... in the ocean, what are the odds. And you're sitting there watching this on your bed going,
"The Bahamas... why doesn't the mother go to the north pole if she's really serious?"
Because it would be very rare if you're on a dog sled and the fin comes up thru the ice and the music starts. "He's gaining on us! Mush god damn it!"

You're sitting there going why doesn't the mother just go north? And the movie goes:
Well, you know *slap*
So now comes a turning point... if you don't turn the movie off now and go to sleep, please just get a visectomy now so there won't be anymore people in the world like you who support this shit. The mother has now had about 5 people killed by the shark, so in the next scene she has an affair with Michael Caine... a pretty standard reaction to multiple deaths in your immediate family. I mean like I would say:

"5 people in my family have been killed in one week... WOOF! am I horny! ooooo the death and the bloodshed! Hold me back, I'm vibrating god damn it! If I pass a fatal car crash on the way home I am just going to ovulate on the spot! I'm just going to drop an egg right here on the interstate if this keeps up!"

So now comes the climactic scene in the movie. The mother, having rejected the north pole as an alternative, heads for the bahamas on a concord traveling at 700 miles an hour. When she gets there, guess what? The shark has beat the jet! And this is the point when you start throwing popcorn at the television saying,
"Get out of here! Come on! That was a jet! I may be an idiot but that was a jet! I mean, wouldn't a jet be faster that a shark?I"
And the movie goes:
Yeah, well it would *slap* ... but this is a stupid *slap* film. You see, in a stupid movie *slap* shark *slap* is *slap* the *slap* fastest *slap* form *slap* of *slap* transportation *slap* available *slap* ... if you were going to London from New York forget concord *slap* catch the next fish out of town

Thank you! Thank you very much have a great day!


Want a good fucking laugh? Look at this... words cannot describe the hilarious footage taken from Jaws the Revenge. Well, they can, but the comedy level is only great if you see it.

Whooo! Scrooge continues to bring the content and the Jaws 4 related hilarity. Perhaps that should be the new theme of this folder.

Jaws 3 and 4 seemed to be closer to a Friday the 13th horror movie, as that was the trend of the time. Big mutant monster who kills people..as opposed to the suspense of the first two.

If you want some really good movie skewering, I highly recommend:

Unlike watching the actual movie ;)

When watching the movie, you're thinking "I Wonder how fast I can hang myself from the ceiling fan."

Kind of like working at Best Buy on Sundays.

Scrooge McSuck - September 27, 2005 11:04 PM (GMT)
Or a supermarket during a major holiday.

Yeah, like I worked in the deli department in one the night before the Super Bowl. Everyone came in for snacks so they could sit on their fat lazy asses and watch football while eating piles of paper-thin Italian meats.

Scrooge McSuck - September 27, 2005 11:17 PM (GMT)
Imagine dealing with these fuckers at the check out line 7 hours a day Christmas week, or Thanksgiving eve. Ugh... I still see it when I close my eyes!

I worked during SuperBowl XXXVII, but thank God only 2 people came in. We just kept calling someone for scores while doing nothing of note.

SamoaRowe - September 27, 2005 11:20 PM (GMT)
Yeah, I'd probably shoot myself if I worked at the registers at Hannaford (the supermarket I work at, it's quite a big chain in this area).

Best Buy is insane from about mid October until about mid February. Especially on Sundays. It always cracks me up because we don't open until 11 on Sundays, but stupid assholes are always showing up at 9 am or earlier. We'll be inside having the morning meeting and we'll all look at the door to see if the idiot customers walk right into the door or not.

Scrooge McSuck - September 27, 2005 11:23 PM (GMT)
Fucking retards... you'd think they figure out "Hmm... I don't see anyone in there, and no one's in the parking lot. THEY MUST BE OPEN!"

We had the opposite... idiots coming after closing hours. "Hmm.. it's 10 pm... I NEED NACHOS AND TOILET PAPER!"

SamoaRowe - September 28, 2005 12:14 AM (GMT)
Yeah, you'd think they'd figure it out. I think the reason for this is the one or two weeks in December when Best Buy opens at 8 am on Sunday, so all these fucktards come in early that one day and assume it's always like that. Then they spend the rest of the year trinkling in and getting all confused (and sometimes) infuriated that the store isn't open. One day, I shit you not, I was walking through the parking lot at 10 am (an hour before the store opens) and there is a crowd of people sitting around the entrance, waiting for the store to open. I can hear one person say "Here comes the guy now."

You see, this is humorous to me in so many ways. 1) There is an hour until the store opens and this is very visably marked right on the front window. 2) They think one guy opens the store? 3) What types of lives do these idiots live where they have to wait around so early on a Sunday morning in front of an electronics store. Then they act pissed as I walk right through them, pull the door open, and then pull it shut behind me.

And I could go on a good sized rant about the deli too. My favorite time was when I was stuck closing by myself (deli closes at 11 pm). It had been busy and I didn't finish up until 11:15. As I was just finished mopping, this woman shows up and tries to order something. I inform her we're closed and she got so pissed off at me. I cannot imagine why she needs deli meat so badly at 11:15 at night, especially considering that the deli opens at 7 am.

Scrooge McSuck - September 28, 2005 12:24 AM (GMT)
She's a fat fuck, maybe?

And yeah, how much of a loser can you be to wait outside a store for so long? If I made the mistake, I'd read the "open/closed schedule", then leave and get something to eat. :P

Haha, maybe...

I don't know why they were waiting outside that particular morning. There must've been a nice sale in computers or something. I'd understand if it was the morning that the DS or PSP came out, but it wasn't, it was just another typical Sunday at Best Buy where the world's worst people all decide to go shopping on the same day and act like mutants to the employees.

I'll admit, when I first had my license I went to the local mall at about 9:30 and was a bit confused as to why the stores were all closed. I was informed that the mall doesn't open until 10 am. Ever since, I've never made the same mistake again. That alone makes me smarter than a good percentage of Best Buy customers.

Scrooge McSuck - September 28, 2005 12:30 AM (GMT)
I like going to stores as early as possible. I hate shopping among idiots, especially in stores like Best Buy or Target where they sworn all over the place, crashing into you with their oxygen tanks.

<---lives in retiredville, FL, home of the building with a sign that reads "You must be 80 years old to enter this establishment" and "Bring your own body bag."

SamoaRowe - September 28, 2005 12:36 AM (GMT)
Hahaha, very nice.

I live in white, middle class suburbia, where every dickhead in town seems to think the world revolves around them and that they are some kind of wonderful, true example of what an American citizen should be.

TheGreatWhiteChoate - September 28, 2005 01:12 AM (GMT)
Where I live, the sound of dueling banjos keeps you up at night.

Scrooge McSuck - September 28, 2005 01:14 AM (GMT)
:lol: Thank God I controled my Lemonade. Imagine that coming out of your nose. :(

Hehe, there is a guy who owns a house on my road and whenever he's in town I'll know it because he'll be playing his banjo in his backyard.

Scrooge McSuck - September 28, 2005 01:22 AM (GMT)
It'll be 50 times funny if they do it bare foot and with their tongues hanging out with a goofy smile.

TheGreatWhiteChoate - September 28, 2005 01:27 AM (GMT)
Where I come from, people ride their four wheelers at FOUR in the morning. I'd say something, but you know, they might, you know, SHOOT me.

Scrooge McSuck - September 28, 2005 02:24 AM (GMT)
Do what anyone with a brain would do... sprinkle giant tacks across the street. :D

Scrooge McSuck - September 28, 2005 02:43 AM (GMT)
The cops will beat you over the head with the handle of their revolver faster than you could say "police brutality."

SamoaRowe - September 28, 2005 02:10 PM (GMT)
I'm just surprised to even hear that there are actual cops in Maine. Every year I go camping for two weeks in Maine and I never see any :P

TheGreatWhiteChoate - September 28, 2005 02:38 PM (GMT)
Given the speeding tickets my friends get, they must exist.
