I just watched Cocktail (because I signed up for a Vongo trial just to see what it was and they actually had that one) and I have to say, it was hilarious.  I've seen Cocktail a few times and I never realized it really took place in a TGIFridays.  The heck kind of TGIFridays is that? Maybe I need to go there on a Saturday night because every time I've gone, Fridays has been sort of lame, not nearly as rocking and rowdy.  I must not be hitting it when they start throwing drinks around and shaking things on their ass.

I laughed harder at this one than at any of the others.  Well worth the download!

I have to agree. My favorite line
Gina Whoreshon-"I'd like to try the orgasm"
Mkie Nelson "Let me get the other bartender"
Had my side hurting.
Is that what kick started Fridays? I've got to investigate...

From the TGI Fridays website :
".G.I. Friday's® Forty One Years of Fun Facts



In 1965, Alan Stillman founded the first Friday's® restaurant in New York City.


According to Newsweek and The Saturday Evening Post, the opening of the first Friday's restaurant heralded the dawn of the singles age.


Friday's restaurants have been the employer of several well-known celebrities - Kathy Mattea, Sean Patrick Flannery of "Young Indiana Jones" and Brad Garrett of "Everybody Loves Raymond".



Friday's restaurants have a long history of innovation, including being credited with:

Naming 'happy hour'.
Inventing the Long Island Iced Tea and Loaded Potato Skins.
Popularizing frozen and ice cream drinks.
Pioneering non-alcoholic Smoothies and Flings in honor of the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.

The Friday's restaurant is synonymous with 'flair bartending'. In the mid 1980s, the restaurant created the first World Bartender Championships to honor the famous, trend-setting, bottle-tossing style of Friday's bartenders around the globe. This tradition continues today!

From roller skating to singing to buttons and suspenders to showing off our 'flair', Friday's team members are legendary for providing the best America has to offer in service and atmosphere.

Friday's red and white stripes are one of the most recognized restaurant trademarks in the world, next to the Golden Arches.


The Friday's brand was the first casual dining restaurant chain to offer stone-ground whole wheat bread, avocados, bean sprouts and Mexican appetizers.



In the past 41 years Friday's restaurants have:

Served approximately 185,380,000 guests in more than 800 restaurants in 56 countries.
Served 19,800,000 hamburgers in an amazing number of guest-specified combinations....which is also equal to over 9,900,000 pounds of burger.
Went through 69,522,520 pounds of french-fried potatoes, 8,634,436 pounds of chicken wings, 454,784 dozen eggs and 114,207,632 ounces of ketchup.

Yikes who would brag about inventing loaded potato skins and flair?

Too bad they didn't bring any "tasty food" traditions to the Dallas area. I've lived here for over 10 years, and I've never had a good meal at a Friday's.

Blecch!!!  :-X

Me and Tyrant go to TGI Fridays all the time and we've never witnessed bottle-juggling and hype on the scale portrayed in the movie. Granted, we don't sit at the bar, but we can SEE the bar and I've never seen anything like what they're boasting.. :^)
