A D-list washed up actor whose career is so going down the toilet does this stupid video, what a desperate idiot he must be if he thinks by doing this crappy video it will do any good. Just because this fool is trying to imatate Tom Cruise(and I am not a fan of Tom's either)and this is suppose to make him a good actor. What a bunch of bullshit, O'Connell should just realize that he has no talent and he is a pathetic asshole who has no career!!!

Hmm, yeah, because how dead on funny a parody is has everything to do with how successful a movie career the satirist has. Brilliant. Sorry if he made fun of your idol.

Jason is obviously following the 'attack not defend' method of scientology. I'm continually amazed at how scientologists respond to criticism (or in this case someone who is just simply doing a parody).

You must be a moron yourself where the hell did you get the impression that Tom is my idol. I clearly said that I was not a fan of his, can you not read, so what is your problem? Does this pathetic excuse of an actor have nothing better to do with his time, obviously not, that now he now has to make fun of someone else, what a loser, and I do not give a rat's ass who he is trying to pretend to be. Any normal, successful and talented actor would not have done such a video. It only shows his immaturity and stupidity, what an idiot! Let's hope we do not have to see this fool again.

Jason, it's ok to be angry with someone who just did a brilliant take down of the person you are infatuated with (I happen to like him too). But what else can you expect from a SP like Jerry O'Connell. However, life is too short. Just focus on your own Thetan issues and do as Cruise advises - KSW, brother.

Before you attack me let me say that I am NOT a scientologist. I agree that Tom is crazy, weird and out of control and he is known for his strange and odd behavior especially since he is part of the cult known as Scientology. But no matter how much you may hate him for who he is, what he believes in and how he presents himself with his actions and mannerisms he is still a successful actor. Tom has many projects on the go as well as projects that he will be producing. What projects is Jerry working on?? Carpoolers is hanging by a thread and with such low ratings how can it last. Jerry cannot even compare himself to Tom when it comes to acting and what Tom has accomplished in his career as an actor. Unfortunately, for Tom his problems with his personal life seems to distract ones attention away from his acting ability.
As I can see it Jerry took this opportunity only to make fun of Tom and Scientology in hopes that this would draw more attention to him, why else would he do it? He should have kept his mouth shut and his opinion to himself. The video in which Jerry is mocking is my understanding was made 4 years ago and just so happens to have made it to the internet now. It has been spliced and edited to make Tom appear more crazy than he already is if that is possible. But I hear that the original video apparently was not as bad as the revised version. I bet alot of people do not know about the other video including so called actor Jerry. I would be very interested in seeing the original as a comparison to see what all the hype is about.

Deon, no one is going to attack you for supporting Cruise. We are all here to commit ad hominems against Jerry O'Connell. So welcome.

The way I see it, what negates the hilariousness of O'Connell's spoof is that compared to Cruise, O'Connell has made less money, made less movies, and is not as good looking. Finally, O'Connell is a classic SP. That's what it comes down to - Period. So everyone needs to ask themselves, 'are you on board with Cruise, or are you not on board.' We don't need any spectators.

Now I will definitely go see more Cruise movies because I didn't think he did anything wrong. I think he is perfectly sane. However, I will not go see anything made by O'Connell. I will not even watch 'Jerry Maguire' even though Cruise is in it. How is that for revenge ;-). I hope this sends a message to others out there that your career is over if you make fun of Cruise. Now, let's go take over the world.

Come on we all know the only reason Jerry had to make such a useless video and that is that he so desperately had an urge to immitate Tom, because Tom is obviously his idol! He has worked with Tom before and he really would like to work with him again cause this poor loser needs a job!
Tom is so much more successful than him and so he just wants to impress Tom so much so that he will recruite him into Sceintology. Jerry is trying so hard to be an actor and he is hoping that Tom can help him. Sorry, Jerry but you are just a talentless idiot and I am sure that Tom would not give you the time of day. LOL.

OMG! can you imagine how embarrassed his wife must be to have to watch her husband make an ass out of himself by pretending to be funny by immatating Tom. Do not worry honey, your hubby did this cause he needs to revive his DEAD career!

I bet she wishes that she could just run away!

I laughed until I cried! So funny. Why does it matter if Tom Cruise makes more money than Jerry? Does that mean he has no right to call him out on being nuts? Would it have been better if say, Brad Pitt did that? I was under the impression that free speech is alive and well! I guess it's only ok for Scientologists to say whatever they want to whomever they want. God Bless Jerry O'Connell for having the guts to do what the silent majority are thinking!

I too am now going to laugh until I die. HA HA HA HA HA HA! Brad Pitt are you serious??? For your information Brad is an actor, why the hell would he even want to make a video that makes fun of someone! Brad or any other REAL actor would not waste their time, they have much more important things that they can do, they have careers. They would not be so stupid as to have to do something like this. But Jerry on the other hand is no REAL actor so he can just go right ahead and make an ass out of himself all he wants cause he has nothing to loose!! I needed a good laugh! you made my day!

In response, I didn't realize actors were so serious these days. And really, don't laugh until you die. It's not that big of a deal. Brad Pitt actually did waste his precious time making fun of Larry Craig, US Senator. So did George Clooney! I just can't believe how immature those busy actors are! Jerry seems like a much more normal person than Tom even though he has so much more to 'loose.' KSW!!!!

MarkstonJan 25th, 2008 - 06:23:00

Larry Craig is this not the US senator that had sex in a men's washroom? I cannot blame Brad or George for making comments about him. But anyways, I was not aware that either Brad Pitt or George Clooney had also made videos that actually make fun of Larry Craig, as I have not seen any such videos.
I think what Jerry Rocks does not understand here is that with Jerry's video he was not only mocking Tom Cruise but he was actually trying to be just like him. I mean he even went as far as dressing like him (the black turtleneck, sytling his hair like him, laughing like him and using the same acroyms. Even the surroundings and the room's atmosphere were the same as in Tom's video.
This was not just a video making fun of someone's but it seems more than that almost as if Jerry hates the actor. It is like he has something to prove. Makes you wonder who really is nuts?

I just am beginning to think that scientologists are their own worst enemies.
Seriously, the way you guys represent yourselves, comes across far from being enlightened.

Jerry O'Connell was simply doing a parody piece, but even that brings out the attack not defend policy. He's a 'pathetic asshole', 'talentless idiot' and so on. So I guess I learned one more thing about Scientology's superior ideology, that how much money a person makes, their material success represents what that person's value is as a human being.


Of course I have already learned that anyone who disagrees with your views can be branded as an 'sp' and are considered to be a 'criminal', 'anti social' and 'raving lunatic'. Also as an 'sp', they deserve to be 'tricked', 'lied to', 'sued', 'deprived of property' and 'destroyed'. Are these some of the ethics Tom Cruise talks about?

Are these a part of the teachings of L. Ron Hubbard?

So I'm suppose to believe that you guys are suppose to be the authorities on the mind, uniting cultures, bringing peace to the world?

I have to agree with Jerry Rocks. First of all, you need to do your research on what George or Brad have done. It's very easy to go to any video website and look these up...unless you are an idiot - IDIOTS UNITE! Also, why would anyone think Jerry wants to be like Tom...? Do you even know what a parody is? IDIOTS UNITE! Furthermore, none of you seemed to address the most critical point made by Jerry Rocks. Freedom of Speech does not come with monetary status or a career status amongst your peers - it's the right of all Americans - even idiots. IDIOTS UNITE!For those of you defending Tom - IDIOTS UNITE! You people are ridiculous. Just enjoy and laugh - IDIOTS!

Excellent stuff.

This maniacial laughing is hilarious and fits perfectly to playing the role of Cruise.

Afterall, its just logical that Scientology dislikes modern psychatry so much. Because their members are the ones mainly affected by it. ROFL

Insane people always fear psychologists as they believe they are in fact the normal ones and all others are crazy and want to hurt them. ;)

*Puts his aluminium helmet on to protect himself from the mind control 'authority' of the children of XENU* Boooooooh !

Val and Idiots Unite,

You've just demonstrated that you are not in control of your own reality; you do not see the world in all it's beauty and complexity. Otherwise you would not fail to see that Cruise is so much superior to O'Connell in every way. You would not believe in O'Connell's lies and laugh at Cruise's genius. Guess who's supporting Cruise: Adam Sandler, Dustin Hoffman, Bruce Willis, Demi Moore, Jim Carrey, and Ben Stiller. Do you think they are all crazy? Read it:

BTW, O'Connell's career is going anywhere. He will now be a pariah in Hollywood. You are just being superficial when you say that looks, money, or success doesn't matter. Just ask the stars.

I think the problem is that you do not understand why you have all those voices in your head, which tell you to make fun of things you don't understand. What you need to do is read some books; go buy Dianetics and get with the winning team. KSW!
