Why You Should Watch Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee



Have you seen Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee? After much deliberation I decided to watch the collection on Netflix.

At first, I was on the fence about watching the show. I didn’t know if it was worth my time. However, something told me to give it a chance.

I love to be entertained. Entertainment is a great influencer on the world. And comedy is the great equalizer.

Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee appeals to those who like comedy, cars, and coffee.

So, what’s it all about?

Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee is exactly what the name suggests. Comedians get in a car and get coffee. Moreover, they have fun, light, and laidback conversations on their way to drinking a cup of Joe together.

I’ve seen a ton of episodes and here is my take on the TV series. Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee is unique to television because unique comedians drive around in unique cars and have unique experiences.

Right now, I’m watching the last episodes because they are more relevant. Eventually, I will get around to watching the first episodes.

So far I’ve seen Ellen DeGeneres, Tracy Morgan, Dave Chappelle, Zach Galifianakis, Brian Regan, and Dana Carvey. This show is turning me into a believer.

I believe Jerry Seinfeld is a genius. I expect this show to last forever. Much of the show is filmed in Los Angeles.

Jerry Seinfeld does all the driving. Netflix does all the filming. The giant comedian teamed up with the giant Hollywood conglomerate. Who’s next…Starbucks?

Comedians themselves are interesting characters. They have awfully good stories to tell. Their lives are observed under a microscope.

Comedians are creative creatures. These lively entertainers do what doctors can’t do in some cases. In a world of so much uncertainty and heartache, comedy helps sooth the pain and heal the wounds. Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee is just what the world needs, and what the doctor ordered.

Spill the Coffee Beans: Why Coffee is Popular in Movies

BY: GURU JAY


Time to spill the beans. Coffee beans, that is. If you’re not drinking coffee now, go brew a pot.


Coffee is universally recognized as an equalizer. We drink mojo for a variety of reasons. Furthermore, we drink it in different ways.


I think the way you drink it says a lot about you. My grandmother drank her coffee straight black. She was a strong woman. 


I drink my coffee with three creams and three sugars. I am a balanced person. How do you take yours?


There is a firm connection between coffee and movies.

Pulp Fiction is arguably the most successful R-rated film in cinema history.  The coffee scene is memorable. Watch the short clip below:


I had just turned 18, the first time I met my friend Carmel Macchiato. Right after class, I went into a café adjacent to the library. At the time, I never had a cup of coffee because I was terrified it might stunt my growth.

But, my new buddies convinced me to try it. Peer pressure is a bitch. I order a Carmel Macchiato and since then I’ve never been the same.

I have made at least 1,000 pots; and, I am not even 30 yet. I’ve grinded the beans and spilled the beans.  It is my favorite beverage.

My freshman and sophomore years, I was addicted to specialty coffees. I remember the first time I drunk a cold mocha from Starbucks. My taste buds were thrilled.

I’d pick up a coffee before or after class. I recall the first time my girlfriend and me ordered expressos. I thought to myself “what the hell did I just drink?”

I can’t live without two things, coffee and movies. Have you noticed how coffee is commonly refer to in films? Why is coffee so popular in movies?

First, movies are pivotal in defining pop-culture.  The stories on the silver screen are not much different from real life. In fact, some of the best films are based on a true story.

Did you know approximately, 85 percent of American adults drink coffee?  According to U.S.A. Today, the beverage is a $30 billion dollar industry. It’s growing!

So, it is easy to see why coffee is common in movies. It is a staple food in society. Wherever you go on this green planet, you’ll find coffee lovers.

It’s not just the U.S.  It’s the world that is obsessed with the beverage. I believe it’s best to settle disputes over coffee. 


People truly love it. This scene from the Green Hornet builds my case. Hot java symbolizes strength, boldness and rejuvenation.

The Green Hornetis hilarious. I highly recommend watching the movie. It is a blend of Batman and Borat.

Coffee is a hot topic in Hollywood.  There are thousands of scenes about the drink.  Movie makers love mojo, because moviegoers love mojo.

If nobody drank java, it wouldn’t be placed in films. You don’t like what you don’t see. And, you don’t see what you don’t like. Just like in all other businesses, customers have the final say.

We take for granted our morning mojo. The reason is because coffee is relatively cheap. You can afford to spend a couple of dollars on the drink.

Where is a good place to have a first date? Why not go to the café? The atmosphere is ideal.


Plus you won’t spend an arm and a leg at the coffee shop. It is designed to be a pleasant experience. If you’re lucky, you’ll get a joyful cup with a sweet smile.


You can also go out to the movies. I recommend seeing a horror flick. It’s a scientific fact you’ll both have a good time.

At some point, everyone wants to be an actor.  You may not have an acting bone in your body, but that doesn’t stop you from fantasizing. Let your imagination run wild.

I imagine starring opposite of Brad Pitt. I’m trying to steal Scarlett Johansson from Brad. The director Quentin Tarratino yells cut…


But I am still in character. The next thing I know, filming is finished; and Scarlet and me are now engaged. Lady Gaga is singing at our wedding in Hawaii. We live happilly ever after.


I imagine your fantasy is starring opposite of Angelina Jolie. You’re trying to steal Johnny Depp from Angelina. Director Martin Scorsese yells cut…


But you’re still in character. The next thing you know, it’s a wrap. Then, you and Johnny start honeymooning in Paris. 


In the meantime, we’ll happily drink our coffee and watch our movies. We’re blessed to be able to imagine stuff. It keeps life interesting.




Live life to the fullest because it’s too short. Take the Bucket List for instance. Here is a film about two characters dying to live.  

It has a good message. You should see it if you haven’t already.

Of course, there are a couple of coffee scenes.

In fact, it’s a coffee joke that unites Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman. You see coffee is the beverage of life.

Movies have such a huge impact on our lives. Hollywood helps bring families together. We love to take the family to the cinema on the weekends.

In many ways, it is a tradition. Going to the movies is one way we tend to spend time with our families. It never gets old.


The next time you see a film, look for a coffee scene. Nine times out of ten, you’ll find it. So, the question is why?


The answer is simple. Coffee is universally accepted as the best social beverage. Yes, it is better than beer.


When you’re lacking energy you don’t need alcohol. Try a cup of espresso. It is sure to help rejuvenate your body, soul and mind.

Sometimes in life you have to grind. So go ahead and spill the coffee beans.
