Jason looking pretty good, time has treated him well.
As for the video, pretty funny, and the last line pretty much sums it up. No hassle, no frustration.

Who are the 6 women in that third picture next to Hitler and Pol Pot?
That was great. The sad thing is some people were acting like Netflix raising their prices was a huge travesty.
Cast from "Sex in the City"
thanks, now hand over your man card lol
@ funny or die, please die because your not funny
I have never watched sex and the city but I knew they were from that show.thanks, now hand over your man card lol
Well since your the only one to think this wasn't funny I take it you've been filled with emo-rage over the $6 price increase? lol!
Nope, I don't have a netflix subscription because most movies are crap, so I just use redbox, so I couldn't care less about them raising their prices. This simply wasn't funny because it made light of the tragedy in Japan.
Come on America, it's $6! Eat 3 less do-nuts.
You completely missed the point but let me explain it to you ...
By comparing the 'outrage' of people to a $6 price increase to the major catastrophes it shows the shallowness and lack of perspective people have to things that actually matter.
Agreed, I was surprised both on Jason's appearance and the video itself being funnier than I expected.
The whole price issue is admittedly more of an inconvenience than a genuine financial hardship (who actually NEEDS Netflix?) and Jason parodies that well. Still, I think Netflix wouldn't have opened this can of worms if they'd just had a smaller price increase. The most popular plan suddenly goes up in price 60% ... that's just a dumb move. Why not $11.99 for now, to keep everyone's good will, and couple further increases to the amount of available streaming content ?
I also think they'd do well to try breaking up the streaming content in some fashion ... such as packages of TV shows or movies by studio(s) ... if there are say, 3 available packages and you know you won't watch content from 2 of them, you're not wasting money and Netflix would save on licensing fees as well ... something closer to only paying for what you watch/deliver would be more efficient.
thanks, now hand over your man card lol
The video is nothing but Hollywood's way of helping Netflix justify
their price increase.
As if actors and studios aren't greedy to start with.
Wrap it in humor, and they laugh all the way to the bank.
Their slimballs.

$72 year!?! holy shit, i'll not have to eat out one whole time over the course of the year to cover that.

It's not? 60% increase in price isn't a travesty?
