It is a joint working for all at the table to have fun, not just the DM or players.
The players job is to go easy on the DM.

If it's the DM's job to make sure the players have fun...What is the PLAYER'S job?

It's everybody's job to make sure everybody has fun. This is just Social Interaction 101.
Now you have to go and be serious. But yes, I agree with this. Strongly.

"Not being a jerk" seems to be a pretty LOOOOWWW bar.
Edit, and shouldn't the players be allowed to be jackasses? I mean, what with the brand new donkeyhorse http://www.enworld.org/forum/5192391-post18.html template and all.

To sit down, shut up, and enjoy the fun of course.

Pizza? Nope.
Beer? Nope. (I should give them bonus XP if they did this)
Hookers? Nope.
Blow? Nope.
Pencils? Nope.
Dice? Check
Character Sheets? Check (but only cause I keep them)
Memory of the Campaign? Check (they do a decent job of taking notes)
Fun for the DM? Check
Oddly enough, if I answered this question 3 years ago when I had different players, the answers would have been in the exact opposite order.
The player & DMs job really depends on the gaming style you enjoy and the group you play with. A lot of people said that it is the DMs job to make sure we're having fun. But as a player myself, I have fun just getting to play and I can definitely make the game fun as a player. All I need the DM to do is be able to roll with the punches and provide me with some sort of plot if I'm unable to stir one up myself. If he goes above & beyond to spice things up, that's just a perk as far as I'm concerned.
I don't show up at the game with the attitude, "The DM better show me a good time, or else I'm quitting this group." In fact, I don't even have that attitude when I show up at a party. If that's the way I looked at life, then I probably wouldn't game or go to parties, cause most people are pretty damn boring
It's the group dynamic & party atmosphere that make it fun, not just a single person.
