  • @hittingyouoverthehead
    @hittingyouoverthehead 3 роки тому +6490

    I have a theory that Jerry acts like a fool on purpose so he wouldn't go too far in life. He wants to spend more time with his family and be with them until he dies. Hence he acts like an incompetent, clumsy fool in public while he does really well at home.
    And in Season 7, once all his daughters are grown up and moved out, (I am assuming his youngest was 16 in Season 2) he finally took on the role of the mayor and did an excellent job as he kept getting reelected until he was 100.

      @@Apudurangdinya I can think of several instances. Take for instance the episode where they rent tents. He forms a bond with Ben and at the end of it, Ben starts talking about how Jerry is a fine person and everyone disapproves. Jerry immediately stumbles and farts to take the attention away from him.
      Then there is an episode where Chris is freaking out about having a baby. Jerry gives some really good advice there and both Ben and Chris listen to him. When he realizes that he's being valued more than he usually does, he goes off into babbling sounds. He even almost gave it away by admitting that usually no one lets him talk this much and that's why he started acting weird.
      Ron once talks about how Jerry only works well when no one is watching. Shine a light on him and he shrinks up really fast. Maybe that's by design...

    • @hittingyouoverthehead
      @hittingyouoverthehead 3 роки тому +167

      @Endless Forest I don't think he openly admits it. It's heavily implied though. Occasionally he does a really good job when he sees others are struggling to do something like for instance the tent rental episode or when he gets a decent sized crowd for Leslie's announcement of City Council run. He doesn't do anything but he quietly nudges others in the right direction.
      Also sometimes his demeanor gives it away when he gets ridiculed, he simply gives a knowing smile, or calls them a 'fun gang'.

      Garry is a magical creature that acts as those around him believe he will. At work he’s a bum ling buffoon because that’s what they believe he is. At home he is confident, competent and loved because that’s what his family believes he is. And Gale is the immortal goddess who created him.

    Jerry's character made me look at my coworkers differently.
    he's like surrounded by these people that live for the job. they marry each other, go to each other's parties and plan events and daytrips together and basically live their entire lives in this group. and they all seem to look down on Jerry for not successfully doing the same.
    and then he's got this whole other life where he vacations to the next town over with his happy loving family, gets to explore his artistic and creative side with hobbies like painting and playing piano etc. has enough self love to take bubble baths and take time for himself.
    I always heard this phrase at jobs I worked, "he/she isn't gonna make it here" suggesting the new hire doesn't have the right attitude/skillset to successfully work until retirement at a job.
    it never occurred to me how that implied a failure on the employees part for doing anything else. for taking a better job elsewhere even. and it makes you not question the worth of a company, but places the burden of assimilation and symbiosis strictly on each individual employee.
    "making it" is such a crummy idea.
    now when I see coworkers that don't seem to live for their job, don't invest in gossip and politics and don't enrage themselves with the petty injustices of the workplace, I see someone who's time isn't predominately occupied by the job they do. their focus is on what they do when they leave the job.
    I love that. I'm becoming a bit more of a Jerry now and I'm happier, even though coworkers seem to feel sorry for me or look down on me for not wanting to hang out with them, and not getting involved with workplace dramatics.

    I like the subtle part about Leslie almost dropping a coffee cup at his house, something usually associated with Jerry.
    This, along with scenes where Jerry has produced some truly talented art at the workplace before, imply that Jerry isn't actually a klutz by nature, but perhaps rather he feels psyched out at work because of all the mistreatment he gets and is thus more likely to slip up. At his home, this is gone, so he's coordinated and in control, whilst Leslie feels off her game in that setting.
    It paints this idea Jerry was always a great, talented guy, but how much bad influences can hold someone back.

      It wasn't 100, I forget the number but it was higher, maybe 200?
      There have been numerous documented instances of people living to over 100, for decades at least, if not centuries, I don't think it's even very rare at this point.

    3:30 Jerry worked at the parks department for 40 years and only had 4 pages worth of good memories in all that time, but still never held it against his colleagues and had an amazing home life. We should all aspire to be like Jerry.
