What do Jay Mohr and the defunct MTV reality show Boiling Points have in common? They are both annoying, unfunny, canceled, and interfere with people just trying to get through the day. After the jump, I have a clip in which Jay Mohr plays a prank (on the world?) by pretending to be a barista at a coffee shop? Good prank. Basically, the joke seems to be that people think Jay Mohr is actually a barista, and so when he messes up everyone’s order and acts like an asshole they get mad because all they wanted was a cup of coffee and to go about their business, not be the butt of a poorly thought out non-joke from a panicky-sounding dude covered in flop sweat who thinks doing a job poorly is a “joke.” GOTCHA! HUH? (Although, in Jay Mohr’s defense, he can’t do his real job very well either.) One dude thinks Jay Mohr looks like that guy from television, Jay Mohr, which is hilarious, I guess, because it is Jay Mohr? CHECK PLEASE!
Man, pranks are the worst, but Jay Mohr pranks are even MOHR AWFUL. (Woof.) (TGIF.) (Thanks for the tip, Kelly.)

No wonder his parents drank.
I upvoted this comment before I watched the video and realized that he “wrote” a book with that title.
Can’t actually watch vid. Second hand embarrassment. Been discussed before. It’s a real issue. Will enjoy comments instead.
I’ll be honest, watching that video gave me quite a Mohrgasm.
Jhay Mhohrhr – He likes the coke a lot, eh.
Chris Klein IS Jay Mohr
sorry, rather:
Mandy Moore IS Jay Mohr
love her…
no one got my Mocha latte line. And that’s fine. because i have this mountain of blow. Like, Fistfulls.
Wow. Jay Mohr is the funniest! They has to cut the part where he put his dick in the coffee, but trust me, it was amazing!
Looks like he’s been eating a lot Mohr these days.
There’s Mohr of him to love!
Please, no Mohr terrible jokes!
The number of terrible jokes that can be fit on an integrated circuit has doubled approximately every two years (huh?)
Well played.
his plastic surgeon played a prank on his face…
The sad thing is, even if people recognize him as Jay Mohr, they are still unsurprised that he’s making frappucinos. If Ke$ha gets mistaken for an employee at Dillards, balance will have been restored to the force.
I doubt that Kesha could get a job at Dillards. She’s a rural rue21 type gal.
no way! Dillard’s employees are Fancy and wear button up shirts and don’t look like they smell of garbage. Ke$he could MAYBE work at that Burger King attached to the Gas Station that you don’t ever go to because it rarely looks clean and the workers there act surprised that you interrupt THEIR conversation to ask for a napkin to wipe down your own table which is sad because the nice Burger King is twenty minutes away and you gots to have it your way sometimes, *BUT* I feel I’m being kind of generous.
Of course, I get mistaken for a Target Employee all the time, so what’s that say about me?
you carry around a price gun?
He just wears a red vest a lot.
no! and i don’t even wear red shirts…ever! I secretly hope I just look helpful.
I’ve seen you. Look, if you’re going to wear a red polo and khakis to target, at least have the decency to know where the housewares department is.
whoops, groupthink.
No kidding. I already said I don’t. Quit picking on me guys.
As someone who worked at Target for years, I can definitely say that there was a weirdly high number of dudes who would don the Target colors and wander the store. We got a complaint card about one once because another guest asked them to check and see if we had any more patio sets in the back and the guy rolled his eyes and walked away.
This Burger King description fits every truck stop fast food joint between Wisconsin and Georgia. Trust me, I’ve logged the field hours.
Field hours deserve upvotes.
I listen occasionally to Jim Rome’s radio show (yes, I listen to sportstalk sometimes) who is genuinely funny, and Jay Mohr will guest-host at times. Jay really does think he’s hilarious, which is sad, because he’s extremely unfunny and very pretentious about it.
GIVE ME BACK MY SON!

“Hey, yr that dude that’s always at my blow dealer’s place with his shirt off ranting about the New York Jets, right?”
JM- “I get that alot”
It was a much funnier gag when Rick Shapiro did it.
“I’m sick of that guy.”
So are we, Jay. So are we.
Ugh. I hate this kind of show! Who is asking for this? Also, I’m pretty sure I would not actually think that was Jay Mohr, because I don’t know what Jay Mohr looks like out of context and that man is about 1.5x the size of Jay Mohr the last time I saw him.
i thought the intro regarding his “success” was hilarious
Mohr Everywhere
Initially when I read that Jay Mohr is the new boiling points, I was waiting for some more follow up regarding coke and myocardial infarctions.
Yum! Peet’s Coffee!
It would “work” as a prank if anything he had done before in his life was in any way helpful to anyone. Who am I kidding, “pranks are like American cars; they never work!” – Jay Leno?
Full disclosure… I have it bad for Scare Tactics.
Was the fact that Jay Mohr has a show on CBS part of the “prank”?
Those Indian jokes at the end and the “in this country” shit. For shame.
Slumdog Thousandaire? HAHAHAHAHAHA. Oh man! That guy knows comedy! Are you watching this Hollywood? Better sign him to an infinity movie deal.
The hardest thing to believe about this whole bungle is that Gary Unmarried is that dude’s favorite show. I could Wiki what the show is about, but I’d rather not see any more Jay Mohr.
In 1997 Chumbawamba came into the stationery store where I used to work in San Francisco. They were laughing because the woman at Z Gallerie down the street told them “Hey, you guys look like Chumbawamba.” Now, I can understand telling one person he/she looks like a celebrity, but if it’s 3 or more people together, wouldn’t you just think “Hey, that’s Chumbawamba!”?
This is why I stopped wearing my Jamiroquai hat.
Retail workers are always getting duped by cover bands, though.
I think Carrie Fisher came into my place of employ once, but being the nerd I am, I’m still too starstruck to admit that it was actually her. I’m not sure if she actually did sign the gift certificate that she bought “Aunt Carrie,” or my fanboy mind is just making that part up.
I was kind of disappointed with the show’s sparing use of the ‘record scratch’ sound effect.
This would really be hilarious if he switched the sugar out for cocaine, that would be a prank!
I kept waiting for the part where Cher comes in and sends him to his room, then chastises the onlookers for making her son feel like a freak.
Usually I can get some kind of enjoyment out of prank videos despite how the-worst they are, but in this case, once the Indian man ordered his coffee and Jay Mohr just kind of repeated it back to him in a ham-voiced (like ham-fisted, right?) and stupid kind of way, I actually got angry and shut it off.
Hopefully this will be the same laugh track they use in “Outsourced” (for synergy).
(fan of synergy over here)
mohr is less.
Jay: Has anybody ever told you you look like that douchebag Turtle from Entourage?
Iced Coffee Guy: Yeah, I get that a lot. ZING!
Having not seen Jay Mohr in anything since “Go,” I’m actually most amazed at how little Jay Mohr looks like Jay Mohr. I think a better prank would have been to have him walk into an audition claiming to be himself.
What is Gary unmarried? Is the beginning of that video not also part of the prank? There can’t be a real book with that cover picture/title? I refuse to google any of that and increase Jay Mohr’s google hit count.
