** More generally, if the CrossOver with ''[[Franchise/TheSimpsons The Simpsons]]'' is canon, then Jay has a long string of awards. He's also had actresses come on to him in the hopes of getting good reviews, and he's also had off-screen meetings with various celebrities, which suggests that he's well-thought of in the film world, at least. He also seems to make a pretty comfortable living in general.

Added DiffLines:

* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Jay was the only one to give his first movie (''Kegger Party at Hanging Rock'') a good review. They've been best friends ever since.


Added DiffLines:

* MySisterIsOffLimits: He completely opposed Jay dating his sister, Olivia, though this was actually out of concern for him rather than her. Much as he loves his sister, Jeremy is well-aware of her history of ReallyGetsAround and was worried Jay would end up getting his heart broken.

* AthleticallyChallenged: Jay's son, Marty, has put on an embarrassing performance at his school's field day. He fails in the group effort to squeeze a giant ball into a goal net, instead having the ball roll him over. He only manages to throw a ball only inches away from him in the long throw (being greatly outclassed by the Bulgarian girl he was competing with). And in the long jump, he somehow manages to [[EpicFail go back a few feet.]] His lack of skills could be attributed to being fat and out-of-shape. Another episode has Marty participating in the President's Fitness Test and he couldn't even manage to do one sit-up.
