It's JerryTime!

Thursday April 27, 2006
The Funny Site of the Day -- Jerry Zucker (not the Hollywood Jerry Zucker) is just a guy, who finds himself single in middle age, facing an odd world known as Buffalo. He's also doing it with an odd face, collaged from various photographs for a grand series of Web cartoons.

These videos are the basis of an audio-visual blog (vlog) wherein Jerry's posts are charming, understated, and nutty monologues on his life experiences, stylishly animated by brother Orrin. Together, with Jerry's piano-tickled scores, they've cobbled tales reminiscent of Woody Allen's fine voice-over movie moments. I'm thinking Annie Hall and Manhattan.

Due to availability, I've seen only three of the six It's JerryTime! shorts produced to date. They deal with such diverse and imperative topics as spandex jogging pants, computer repair spinsters, earwax, and moth eggs on the ceiling. I live and learn at Jerry's feet -- and I'm staying here until I see the other cartoons, which, by the way, were nominated for an actual Emmy Award in the new category honoring, according to a press release, "original entertainment programming created specifically for non-traditional viewing platforms, including computers, mobile phones, iPods, PDAs and similar devices."

Yep, It's JerryTime! is Must-See PC. Get yourself one of them faddy, contempo computers and watch.

Also, enjoy rifling through Jerry's memorabilia Shoebox and his personal advice column, "Ask Jerry." He's setting matters straight on "far-out foreign" foods, mustards, coffee, animal poop, and the ever-problematic used underwear.
