Martin and Lewis - The Friendship Club Part II

[TheChoule11]

This sketch blows! I'm a huge Martin and Lewis fan, for over 40 years. This was not their style at all. I get why Dean apparently didn't like it. It's also very apparent that they were no longer getting along at this point in time and there was no more spark between them. This was not funny at all but tremendously heartbreaking to watch. They couldn't even look each other in the eye. Just so sad.

[LEIMALOCCA]

What I can see is that what they each had ideas that would have worked in their separate careers. Dean liked to sing chill and play golf. Jerry wanted to take risks. I think the Martin and Lewis partnership is remembered as fun and love. I think Jerry shouldnt have done the sad stuff with Dean. He shouldve waited and done it on his own because, Ill quote Jerry: “it's hard to do comedy with a guy you aren’t speaking to” imagine trying to do a sad bit with him. Nevertheless it was a cute sketch :)

[SenorZorrozzz]

The ending was horrible.

[fanofclassics]

jerry what what!!haha

[rpena728]

LOL good one!!

[TheCandi188]

From all I've read, Jerry wanted to right more stuff for him, and not give enough to Dean towards the end...This makes me not like Dean's character, and sympathize with Jerry's. If I was Dean, I wouldnt have liked the sketch either. He wanted stuff to change as well...wanted to be more than just a straight guy all the time...Of course, this is just from stuff I read, same as a lot of the comments here. I really wish I was alive during this time to be able to enjoy Dean and Jerry firsthand.

This sketch was very good it had plenty of laughter and them sad parts too. I think most ppl like to see a comedian serious sometimes-

[lotsandlotsofbubbles]

that was depressing, lol....anyone know what year this is?

[Hadeydeppio]

@lotsandlotsofbubbles for some reason i think it's 1955. but im not positive. i feel like jerry wrote about this in his book or something?

[lotsandlotsofbubbles]

@Hadeydeppio I think you're right! I remember reading that...

[TheNimfadora]

so sad.... wanna hug him and to answer the question-yes they need ,,sad stuff,, we need jerry we love jerry...

[empress2real]

I love this sketch..and the sad ending only make me want to run out and give Jerry a big hug and a smooch...

[biden1]

"You louse! Fix it up! I paid money..I want a OT-DAWG!" lmao

[dyn6sty]

Dean asked jerry,"why don't you cut the sad skit out. They want funny.." in the book. Jerry came up with this sketch on his own. He was getting to the point in his career where he wanted to explore more avenues of acting. Dean just wanted to stick to the stuff that sold.

[hazzamanvid12]

[shelby698812]

poor jerry he paid and still dont get no hot dogs

[lovejoecartwright]

what did jerry say at 3.26

[Coastguard29]

I think these 2 were at their best with comedy. I did not like that ending at all.

[stopper1941]

Dean did some serious acting, sad characters, but he was at his best in comedy and I think he felt that he and Jerry were best at comedy and he hated when Jerry tried to be something else, Obviously their disagreement grew til they split-----Jerry had a point, each had to grow, Dean to do what he loved, sing, act and do comedy. Jerry to try pathos with comedy, write and direct.

[JerryLewisLover]

"Knock on wood." lol I remember reading about this part also. It was sad, but no one will ever forget these 2.

[claudia6034]

Me encanta Jerry Lewis, todos sus trabajos fueron geniales... un grande

[MrKiwi63]

aaaaaw poor jerry

[deni0mar7]

Jerry's so funny when he's crying

[trusttheprocess80]

Creo que Jerry tuvo que ser el que se impuso, mmm, aqui, considero que si deseaba crecer como comediante , ya debia pensar en separarse..no era justo obligar a Dean a hacer algo que el no queria, incluso a actuar en un papel donde lo hacia quedar mal como persona.

[trusttheprocess80]

Me encanto, quizas es diferente a todos los otros episodios, pero creo que de vez encuando era necesario poner algo de drama en todo. Entiendo a Dean si no le gusto, creo que Martin & Lewis eran un equipo y si alguno queria hacer un cambio en el acto debia consultarlo con el otro.

[jerryfan88]

I don't think that they needed the sad ending. They were only doing sketches, and those sketeches are very short so they really can't put a lot of plot into it. But it's very Jerry-ish with the pantomime and everything.

[Indy788]

I agree. the ending was very Jerry-ish and I don't think it was needed. It feels unlike something Martin and Lewis would normally do--kind of like Three Ring Circus.

[sixchild19]

I read where Dean did not like this sketch, he thought is was to sad also. He preferred happier sketches. These 2 together were dynomite!!!!!

[sinatralove]

the end is really sead jerry dont deserve that but i still love those 2
