What series of events has to happen in your life for you to become The Guy That Holds Morris Day’s mirror? Meet Jerome, Morris Day’s preening sidekick/valet/underling. In addition to taking up valuable space in the luggage compartment of The Time tour bus, Jerome’s duties apparently include:

Holding up a huge mirror so Morris Day can check himself out while he sings.
Brushing the lint off of Morris Day’s jacket while he sings.
Dancing around a little bit while Morris Day sings.
Holding up the huge mirror again.

EVIDENCE:
In this video of Morris Day and The Time doing their thing, notice how quick Jerome is with Day’s mirror. Also, we can’t help but point out that Jerome, by dedicating all of his time to perfecting his Morris Day-related responsibilities, has rendered himself completely unemployable.


Honestly, if things don’t work out and Jerome gets fired, what other job could he possibly be qualified to perform? Brushing lint off the Queen? Holding up a huge mirror for a chief justice of the Supreme Court? He’d be perfect for those jobs, if they existed.

DIAGNOSIS: Symbiotism, HPD (Habitual Preening Disorder).

I didn't write the article, I just stumbled across it on Cracked.com I'm glad that they remembered JB at all given that he hasn't had any major press in a long time. I like Jerome. He was the best part of The Time concerts. I think he should work the valet thing for all it's worth. They lampoon everybody in Cracked magazine. I wouldn't take the jokes so seriously.

this list rocks:

Einar from the Sugarcubes

Einar was a, um, vocalist in Bjork’s band the Sugarcubes. If you remember the band, he’s the guy with the accent that rants in the background while you’re just trying to frickin’ hear Bjork sing! Couldn’t they have gotten him a tambourine or something to keep him busy?

Einar’s share of the lyrics in Sugarcubes make even less sense than Bjork’s and they’re sung in his signature vocal styling, which, on the continuum of things that are awesome to listen to, registers somewhere between an alarm clock and your parents having sex.

EVIDENCE:
You have to wade through 2 minutes of Bjork and the BAM! before Einar pops up and lays some shrill Icelandic rap on your ass. But if your heart hasn’t been frozen in terror yet today, it’s well worth the wait.

Chaka from Land of the Lost


So you’re trapped in another dimension, surrounded by dinosaurs and other monsters. What’s your first move?

That’s right, you take a hairy, easily-excitable, hideous-looking ape boy named Chaka under your wing so you have someone to slow you down, eat all of your food and contribute nothing. Good. Now that that’s out of the way, you have plenty of time to get eaten by dinosaurs. And don’t think that Chaka won’t help you in that department. He’s as useful at attracting dinosaurs, as he is useless at everything else, which is to say, extremely.

EVIDENCE:
At the 6:16 mark of this entire Land of the Lost episode, Chaka shows what an annoying brat he can be to travel with, screaming way louder than is necessary that he’s hungry, even though a two-headed monster is within ear shot and is presumably hungry himself.

I will always love Jerome!

Someone who is REALLY bored out of their wits lol.

Obviously. Jerome can be described as Funky and comical but far being a deranged sidekick. This is the first time I've heard this description, something is up.

Bwahahahaha!!

MsLegs said:

did you read the entire article? its all one big joke.

sosgemini said:

I figured it was.

sosgemini said:

Chaka was all kinds of f'd up! THe SKeskie were kinda cool, though.

He was also part of The Family. I don't know what he did in that group since I never saw them perform.

That would have been his play a drum with one stick gig.

Apparently, these guys still appreciate him...
