During ''Coming Attractions'', Jay meets an actress named Valerie Fox, a star in an upcoming movie who begin dating, but Jay is then between love and artistic integrity when he has to review the movie.
!! Tropes in the Episode
* AintTooProudToBeg: Jay even [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] this before he begs for Valerie to come back to him but ignores him as she takes the bus to the airport so she can go back to L.A.
* BadassIsraeli: Spoofed in ''Rabbi P.I.'', with Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger as an undercover cop who poses as a Hasidic Jew. And gets some scenes with Arnold killing bad guys.
---> '''Mugger:''' Eat lead, Rabbi.\\
'''Arnold:''' [[PreMortemOneLiner Sorry, that's not kosher.]] (Fires gun, cutting to next scene with him with a baby and a crime boss)\\
'''Crime Boss:''' All right. If you are a real Rabbi, circumcise this child.\\
(Arnold then throws the circumcision knife into his chest)\\
'''Arnold:''' [[BondOneLiner Hava Nagila, baby.]]
* BadBadActing: Jay finally has to review ''Kiss of Death'', which Valerie stars as a FemmeFatale that says (before killing a man) in a stilted voice "I'll give you a kiss, all right", then switching to [[LargeHam a loud, raspy voice]] "A [[TitleDrop kiss of death]]!!!". Unfortunate for Jay, who has to put integrity about love, though he does at least attempt to sugar coat it and give off constructive criticism.
* BasicInstinctLegsCrossingParody: As Valerie sits with Jay, she recreates this after Jay asking her about being compared to Creator/SharonStone, to which Jay asks the cameraman "Can we get a shot of that?"
* BlatantLies:
** Jay gives advice to Marty that lying is only acceptable for the greater good, after which two women approach him asking if he's Creator/DustinHoffman, to which Jay responds to with a seductive "Yes".
** A {{Flashback}} to Jay's childhood has him wanting to horse and Jay, who even then was fat, states he is less than 80 lbs. and get on the horse, breaking its back, to which the stableman gives out a BigNo

* DamnedByFaintPraise: Duke yells at Jay for his CausticCritic reviews, stating movies should be ranked from "good" to "excellent". Jay asks what if he doesn't like them, to which Duke retorts that's what "good" is for.
* FriendOrIdolDecision: Jay tries to get out of reviewing Valerie's new movie by PlayingSick. Unfortunately, Duke sends him a copy of the movie for him to review. After she's shown to be awful, he goes of to review it and keeps his integrity. Despite him giving out constructive criticism, she doesn't take it well and breaks up with him.
* HopeSpot: After giving the review, Jay rushes to the apartment, hoping Valerie hasn't left him, and find her there much to his joy. But said joy is short-lived when she tells him off and breaks up with him.
* MeetTheInLaws: Jay introduces Valerie to his parents
* MisplacedRetribution: Invoked, with Jay, still bitter after the break-up, when Marty points him to a screening of a new movie with Creator/SylvesterStallone as a concert pianist. That alone is enough for Jay to go and let loose his anger on the film.
* RaceForYourLove: Jay follows Valerie to the airport, thinking she'll changed her mind and go back to him. He keeps expecting her to as she boards the plane and it takes off. It's only a matter of time before he realizes she's not coming back.
