Its principal (and only) members are Jeff Barnes (Scott Krinsky) and Lester Patel (Vik Sahay), both of whom work in the Nerd Herd division of the Buy More. As of the end of Season 3, both Jeff and Lester are on the run as the prime suspects in the destruction of the Buy More; their names are soon cleared but the pair remain oblivious while in hiding until "Chuck Versus the Suitcase". In Season 4, they are represented by Big Mike. As of "Chuck Versus the Last Details", Jeff and Lester are pursuing a career as amateur filmmakers.

The principal (and only) members of Jeffster! are Jeff Barnes, providing backup vocals and performing as the band's rhythm section, and Lester Patel on vocals. The duo primarily acts as a cover band, performing in local venues around the Burbank area. It is revealed in the Chuck season 3 DVD and Blu-Ray special feature 'The Jeffster Revolution' that Jeffster formed when at a bar on Karaoke Monday Jeff urged Lester to sing, Lester did this while Jeff kept time. They sang Dolly Parton's Mommie, Ain't That Daddy several times and according to Lester "Jeffster was born".

In "Chuck Versus the Best Friend" Jeff and Lester attempted to audition for Devon and Ellie's wedding, and have since made several performances on the show. Although the audition didn't go well, they still got the chance to perform at the wedding in "Chuck Versus the Ring" when Morgan used them as a stalling tactic before the ceremony. The duo later performed in "Chuck Versus the Beard" as part of Big Mike's revolt when the Ring infiltrated the Buy More disguised as corporate executives from a rival chain seeking to buy the store. The duo invited themselves to Devon and Ellie's going away party in "Chuck Versus the Honeymooners," where they performed "unplugged" after Jeffrey blew out the amp in rehearsal.

Jeffster! briefly broke up into solo acts in "Chuck Versus the Living Dead," however the duo quickly reconciled and Big Mike was taken on as manager. In "Chuck Versus the Ring: Part II," Jeff and Lester convinced their new manager to premiere their music video (which took them two weekends to make) at the Buy More's going out of business sale, but are interrupted. After the store is evacuated, Chuck inadvertently starts up the video during his confrontation with Shaw. At the end of the episode, Big Mike expressed significant disgust with the duo, in particular Lester's vocals.

In addition to episodes of the series, actors Scott Krinsky and Vik Sahay made a special appearance in-character to perform at San Diego Comic-Con International in 2009.

2. Jeffster is a music producer from Austin, TX. He uses synthesizers to produce some unique compositions through experimentation. Some of Jeffster songs are: Spacesylvania and R-2 Goes To The Hospital

Take On Me
Jeffster Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Talking away
I don't know what
I'm to say
I'll say it anyway
Today is another day to find you
Shying away
I'll be coming for your love, okay?
Take on me (Take on me)

Take me on (Take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two
So needless to say
I'm odds and ends
But I'll be
Stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is okay
Say after me
It's no better to be safe than sorry
Take on me (Take on me)
Take me on (Take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two
Oh, things that you say
Yeah, is it a life or
Just to play
My worries away
You're all the things I've got to remember
You're shying away
I'll be coming for you anyway
Take on me (Take on me)
Take me on (Take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day
Take on me (Take on me)
Take me on (Take on me)
I'll be gone (Take on me)
In a day (Take me on)
(Take on me)
Take on me (Take on me)

Take me on (Take on me)
Take on me

Overall Meaning

The opening line "Talking away, I don't know what I'm to say, I'll say it anyway" suggests a narrator who may be nervous about expressing their feelings to someone. The opening verse builds up to the chorus, playing up the tension and uncertainty of the situation. The singer is "shying away," but they eventually find the courage to "take on" the person they're interested in. The repetition of "take on me" and "take me on" in the chorus might conjure up images of a challenge or competition between the two parties. However, the bridge of the song takes a contemplative tone. The singer reflects on life, admitting they're "odds and ends" but that they're slowly learning that "life is okay." They urge their love interest to take risks and not to play things too safe - "It's no better to be safe than sorry." The final chorus sees the singer singing with more conviction, declaring that they'll "be coming for you anyway." Overall, the lyrics suggest a story of risk-taking and vulnerability in love, with an underlying message of embracing the uncertainties of life.

One of the things I absolutely love about this scene is that Jeffster gets a standing ovation and the recognition they always dreamed of. This was possibly one of the greatest moments for their “band”.

God, I just rewatched all of Chuck on Netflix, and I cried all over again at the finale...I hope Levi does the movie, like he wants to.

"There's only one upload left, and it's not like we can't just build another pair of intersect glasses like everyone's been doing throughout the entire series. Seriously, some kid who had absolutely nothing to do with the original project designed an intersect by accident only a year ago. But nope, any chance for us to restore your memories is now gone."

@Chuggaaconroysson

C Monty Uh, the kid actually knew what he was doing, had access to the destroyed intersect, and it was barely functional.

@ngasparyan7

9y↑6

C Monty The problem is not the glasses themselves but the key. Without the key they can't make a new intersect glass that could restore her memories. They need the key to alter the intersect and in this scene you can see that once Chuck uploads the intersect the key is destroyed.

sarah gets her memorikes back they wernt gone they were repressed in her mind i mean she flashed 5 times in a row and the more time she spends with chuck the memories come back thats why she wanted him to kiss her at the end

@MrTbmoller

I dont think any girl will kiss a complet random, i think she will get them back, you can see how much she loves him at the end

@Tcrumpen

+wolkins dan Going back to i think series 3 when Chuck had the intersect suppressed and the agent from the CIA was tasked with uncovering it, for chuck it was stuck under an emotional rock (his relationship and love for Sarah) for Sarah it could be something completely different, also the intersect wasn't really suppressed in Sarah but there was a trojan which acted like a memory eraser for the person, whether this was due to the intersect suppressing their memories and character i believe is still not known

@wolkinsdan7776

8y↑1

+Tcrumpen should of done 1 more series or even just a final episode wrapping it up this just leaves so much unexplained it hurts I just like to believe that she got her mentioned back by spending time with chuck and she fell in love with him again as a conclusion of this

@enes207

You know what, Chuck could've restored Sarah's memory and saved all those people. Sure it would've taken hours and cause panic among people in the concert hall but Sarah would have her memory back and that is worth more than anything. All they had to do was to evacuate all the people except musicians (and Beckman in case the bomb is pressure sentive) who would continue playing until they are replaced by speakers (hell playing music from a phone would've work). If the bomb is pressure sensitive as Quinn claimed (which may be a bluff to keep Beckman seated) they could've find a way to get Beckman out while keeping the pressure level on the bomb. Would these make for a good scene? of course not.. but as far as story goes I hated the "so close I can taste it.. but I will not have the future I want because of a few unlucky moments" ending. Chuck and Sarah faced much more dangerous enemies and circumstances. Quinn is nothing compared to Shaw or the Ring.. Just because they haven't followed him Vail Buymore or he miraculously managed to get back inside the bullet train (traveling faster than 300 km/h btw!) after being kicked out of the window, Sarah lost her memory.. I got more angry with this fact than Sarah losing most of her memory.

Okay, so let's see...you expect an entire orchestra to be able to play for an unknown amount of time that could potentially be hours, non stop, so that Team Bartowski can build a new intersect. No professional musician can maintain performing like that for as long as that would take. And obviously the bomb wasn't pressure sensitive if the lack of music is what would have tiriggered it. Plus, evacuating would have caused a panic thus disrupting the performance of hte musicians, not to mention it would have tipped off the public to something wrong which is what they were trying to avoid. Also, how do you know playing music from a phone would have worked? If it takes an entire orchestra to keep the bomb from going off in a live concert hall, I highly doubt that the same result could have come from an iPhone.

Okay I'm thinking about this just now after watching this scene countless times for many years but, Chuck just opened the laptop and saw the brand, then Sarah just reminded her about Irene Demova. My point is, none of it required the Intersect so actually Chuck used it for nothing 😂

@Redd1836

Chuck needed the intersect to unlock the laptop, because it was an experimental keypad with an ever changing code

They should have used Irene Demova to disarm every bomb... The Intersect wasn't really needed... and Sarah would have got her memory back! :'(

Gisella Landolfi it was needed to open the bomb’s case

@ArthurRex131

He didn't have the code to open the bomb's case, so without the intersect he wouldn't have reached the bomb in time to use the virus.

I have never seen any of this series before - until I came across this scene on YouTube, that is - but as a huge fan of a-ha, Morten Harket, and of course the song “Take On Me,” I personally thought he sang this quite well. “Take On Me” is far from easy to sing, particularly considering the wide range in its notes; most people can handle either the deeper notes or the higher notes, but very few can manage both the high and the deeper notes successfully.
