Jerry Lewis - Dean Martin Colgate Comedy Hour Clip 15 of 19

[honkytonk2010]

I love this guy.

[deebo769]

Oh goodness Classic Sketch

[Punk62115]

Classic, classic, classic. <3 Jerry Lewis

[SignsGirl]

Just want to say Jerry Lewis can never be TOO SILLY!!!! His videos are great and a fun way to relax...

[Guesswork01]

I was all prepared not to like this, but I laughed my ass off and it only got too silly a couple of times.

[LPVitus]

Does anyone know which Colgate Comedy Hour dvd box set I can find this on? The one I have doesn't haave it...

[treble69]

Jerry gets no respect, he was and is a bonified out-of-control comic genius! When I was a kid (late '50s and on) there was nothing more exciting than a new Jerry Lewis movie.

[elvisobsessor]

love love Jerry!

[hussnfussel7]

This was the only thing he ever done that was considered genius. I think he was silly.He drove dean crasy with it.

[xander7ful]

@hussnfussel7 After seeing this, I agree. This is clever and inspired, but he's just too silly.

[IIOIIMEGAII]

Such an funny video Jerry Lewis is a legend..

[InwormsKDS]

true classic

[298625]

He compared himself to Charlie Chaplin. Nope, I don't think so. And I don't think he was in the class of the great mime comedians including Harpo Marx and (even) Jackie Gleason. 

[Lampodikt]

@298625 Exactly, I couldn´t agree more: He was not in the class of them, he was in an elevated class, MUCH better than those dudes. I´m so glad we agree on this :-)

[stargate121]

Let's see Kat Williams do THAT!

[sedantez24]

Comedy legend - Funny to the bone. You can see where the likes of Jim Carey and Lee Evans got their inspiration.

[Drumsticklewis]

I still don't like him .

[Drumsticklewis]

I don't like him at all he is just too stupid to watch.

[igvmyslf1000pts]

@Drumsticklewis

Yet you purposely drop by to watch his video. HMMM. Secretly curious? Secretly jealous? Or secretly enjoy garnering attention through trolling?

[bigmacker224]

@igvmyslf1000pts Oh my god, that was a great comeback. Thank you.

[Hadeydeppio]

lmfao whats the purpose of the wig

[lotsandlotsofbubbles]

@Hadeydeppio lol i was wondering about his wig too haha

[MrSKINFLICK]

Looks like a mixture of Liitle Richard + Prince here, did both steal his image ?

[alto100]

The genius of Jerry Lewis is apparent in collaboration with an orchestra... no one has come forward to fill this niche since...

[pokamonmaster1997]

Isnt this a part of portal 2 for like the trailer or something

[psychadelicbumblebee]

Anybody else think that Lee Evans lifted his entire persona from Jerry Lewis?!

[cezzie901]

@psychadelicbumblebee Exactly what I was thinking!

[Hadeydeppio]

was this the first time he did the typewriter sketch?

[MichaelJackson0o]

Anyone know which episode Chris Walken is in?

[xhellonhighheels69x]

i've never loved jerry lewis as much as I do after watching this!

[msmaryfouad]

I never knew he did that skit first on Colgate!

[Hadeydeppio]

lmfao his hair

[KatsuDe]

hahaha I just can't watch this without crackin' up :DD he's a real genius

[Hadeydeppio]

is this show what made it famous? i thought it was the movie whos minding the store but that came out much later?

[kitsune720]

They dont make comedians like him anymore. <3

[aprandecki]

im sorry for my ignorance but this is an honest question.

i just dont get it, what is he doing? is the orchestra playing the typewriting sounds and he is pretending to type? are they making fun of typists? well i have to admit that it is funny.

[seajayaway]

@aprandecki It's just one of his shticks. It's like the typewriter is an instrument in the orchestra (which is why he's dressed up like all those fancy pianists) and he's just being his usual goofy self. Hope that helps!

[poolkagriis]

@aprandecki The piece is called "the typewriter", and the composer uses the typewritersounds like a theme in it. He also wrote pieces like "the syncopated clock" where the clock ticks in the background, and "the walzing cat" where we can hear the cat meowing. It's funny :)

In this clip, Jerry pretends to play the typewriter, and makes fun at the same time, so it won't get boring :p

[Kyoshruko]

This is what made him popular.

[juanvictorvega]

alguien me puede decir como se llama el titulo de la musica....

[Jessmira23]

LOOOOOOOOOL. Gosh I just love this whole act. SO funny. Thanks for posting. BTW, love how Jerry looks at the camera in the first 50 seconds and gives a crooked smile. Such a cutie :D

[Ninifeechan]

i love him ..... he is the Master of Comedy!

[24gagagirl]

Agreed. I'm only 15 and I watch Colgate Comedy Hour all the time and think he's the funniest man alive.

[Alejandro9136]

The master, the monster, the best

[ddaanntthheemmaann]

the best comedian and my favorite actor ever!

[Jebrylla]

wow, just wow! so funny i love Jerry Lewis!! But i can tell that the age Jerry and Dean lived in was much more innocent than ours. If someone got on stage and did that today, theyd be booed at or laughed OFF the stage :( so sad. I miss good old fashion slap stick.

Awesome Video btw :) thanx for putting it on youtube XD

[PrecisionHalo]

I dont get it.

[laurabelle200]

It's a spoof of the Classical Pianist. The "no hands" part is just a great example of this. He was also probably making fun of some of the odd characteristics of pianists (ie Glenn Gould playing style). Please don't anyone be offended by my comment: I am a classical pianist and can see the humour and the truth in this sketch. Classical fields often take themselves to seriously. And it's genius' like Leroy Anderson who bring humanity back to the field

[uriahh33p]

That's because you have humour FAIL.

[julie11061]

what's to get? he's just funny :D

[ShawtyLikeMe2007]

There's so many versions of this and it's all his. But I think that this video--in my opinion is the best! It has so much energy and funny faces. Love him :).

[MIKTYS]

this is my favoritee comedian ever!!!

[chayenneselleck]

er is einfach nur genial egal was er macht jerry kann leute zum lachen bringen ohne das er andere in den dreck ziehen muß hut ab you are the best of comedy

[ash2522]

tha animaniacs redid this in "temporary insanity".

[vinniecat2889]

This is my favorite version of this bit.

[oviatb66]

too bad hes dead for some years know ....:(

[igvmyslf1000pts]

Umm... noo Jerry is still alive and doing well. He's 83 now.

[oviatb66]

are you shure ???:o

[igvmyslf1000pts]

Uh, yeah. Are you perhaps thinking of Dean Martin?

[journeybabe215]

yeah, Jerry's definately alive, thank God!! ;) maybe u mite also b thinking of jerry LEE lewis (they're not the same) but i just thank God just about every day thta he's alive. i love him soo much!!

[dhager850]

ummm....Jerry Lee Lewis is also still alive.  And yes Jerry Lewis is alive and still performing in Vegas at 83.

[Vordox85]

O.o He's still alive?!

[laurengays]

which dvd is this from? PLEASE tell me

[warubandgeek]

lol His expressions are so funny.

[DarkRonin21]

I made my mother laugh so hard when I had this clip playing on my laptop and made the motions llike my comp was a typewriter.

[ash2522]

sorry! i pressed the wrong hand i meant the thumbs up

[canneryrowbear]

Does anyone know the name of the piece that accompanies this?

[igvmyslf1000pts]

It's "The Typewriter song" by Leroy Anderson.

[chgw01]

@igvmyslf1000pts I give you 1000pts too for posting these! Good job

[nhnative03220]

this is great

[musicfreak3152]

my cousin looks exactly like jerry when he was young! and he can imitate him perfectly :D... JERRY LEWIS IS AMAZING!

[volontewilliams]

Pure genious and this explains why I like Joh Ritter and Jim Carrey so much.

[lamexicana73]

j'adore cet artiste , je suis fan de tout petit . je trouve cette video genial

[Khanaam]

No doubt, Jim Carrey's hero -

[fjccommish]

He's not just parodying typing, he's parodying typing as an instrument in the song.

[mjkris2]

Amazing step.. its soooo funny the face of him.

I'm fan of Jerry Lewis and i have ones collection of 7 DVDs. We love you Jerry !!

[pinkmenudo]

his face is so funny! he was a handsome guy!

[CelticFanatic20]

oh wow.. this is bittersweet. My dad and I used to watch this all the time and he said that when he sees me type I remind him of this skit. Thanks for posting it.

[ink24571]

oh yeah. hilarious

[143AC]

This is Jerry Lewis' first pantomime performance

to Mr.Anderson's "Typewriter Song".

[julie11061]

What exactly is a pantomime? So many people have tried to explain to me but I can only understand that whatever it is Jerry LEwis does it REALLY WELL and he makes me laugh :D

[A10N3L3FT2D13]

@julie11061 they are funny facial expressions and movement done with music

[julie11061]

thanks :)

[A10N3L3FT2D13]

@julie11061 welcome;D

[ndakmc]

Thanks for posting. I hadn't seen that since I was a kid. But just wondering why you said "infamous" instead of "famous".

[igvmyslf1000pts]

You are welcome! And thank you for mentioning that. It was merely a careless mistake on my part that I will fix right now! :)

[story147i]

naam u write type alot of words also.

[trusttheprocess80]

jerry !!! genial, el unico comediante que junto a Chaplin, me ha hecho reir de verdad.

[tambor74]

a mi igual, geniales los dos.-

[HOLLOWKNIGHT006]

Jerry Lewis is a great comedian

i watch this video 10 times a day :D

[AprilMaria]

An absolute genius!

[futon]

Now I can see where John Ritter got a lot of his mannerisms on Three's Company, he ( and I found him funny) was just doing Jerry Lewis. Jerry is hilarious!

[LeoBullterrier]

Come on Dean without booze in his hand ha ha ha ha ha .

[igvmyslf1000pts]

I don't understand...?

[krystalframe]

Dean Martin is famous for being an on-stage 'drunk' after leaving the Martin and Lewis act. He actually did drink quite a bit but it wasn't serious until is son Dino was killed.

[igvmyslf1000pts]

Well, yes, I knew that, but I didn't see how the comment applied to the video.

[FTC2008]

grande!!! por siempre...

[bigfatjemimasyrup]

I can't believe how cute he is with his hair like this!

[DealWithMe0]

you know, i dont even know why, but that reminded me of kramer from sienfield...... AND I DONT KNOW WHY! i think im retarted :p

[MissDuesbury]

I could watch this video over and over again!! It just doesn't get old. I think I have this episode on dvd! Jerry is the greatest!!

[killtheposer]

hahaha lmao funny

[MrKiwi63]

Hes Old and Grey now hahahahaha

[igvmyslf1000pts]

Yeah. How HILARIOUS. I can't wait til YOU become 82. Then we can all laugh at YOU.

[MrKiwi63]

that was'nt me....thats was my little brother....he was on my account and i told him not to post anything....stubbor...sorry lol.....jerry lewis rocks!!!

[madamerotten]

Tell your little brother to get some respect. Tell him that if he ever manages to achieve 1/10,000 of what Jerry Lewis achieved, he'd be lucky.

[pammy1971]

I have this on CCH and absolutely love it! This man is sooo brilliant; so extraudinarily talented:) I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE him. This whole sequence is wonderful:D

[osombra2]

Jerry Lewis é sem sombras de dúvidas o comediante de todos o tempos... Original e brilhante... The Best...

[germanchick1]

is he dead??

[igvmyslf1000pts]

Um, no

[pammy1971]

Thank God!xx

[MrKiwi63]

he is fat now....and....wrinkly lol

[pammy1971]

I have to say I truly love Jerry; so to me he will always be beautiful. He's still that same sweet, adorable, cute funny man that he always was. But it really shouldn't matter what a person looks like; it's what is on the inside that counts, and Jerry is only made of the good stuff. The most kind hearted I man in this world! I've loved him since I was little, and now my daughter loves him:D I love to see the joy he brings her. He has made his life mean something; we can all learn from him:)x

[MrKiwi63]

i was'nt mocking him...i was just saying that hes old and close to his....end days (i guess)....but i could have worded it better lol soz

[pammy1971]

No worries buddy, I can be a little too sensitive. But honestly I don't think bad of you, you were just referring to the comment asking if he was dead. Sorry; I guess that is something I just don't like to think about; I'd love for him to live forever, or at least until after I'm gone. Wishful thinking lol.

So all is good.<3

[MrKiwi63]

lol its cool....yea hes a good man....and funny! it must have been sad for him to lose dean....and its a good thing they got back together b4 dean died

[dreamergirl23]

i absolutely love jerry lewis!!!!!!! what more can i say? he's hilarious!!!!

[yugyugyugyugyug]

I wish i could type as ugly as that...

[Vonpars]

Brilliant!

[jfktwo]

This is so great and you bet it takes talent and lots of practice to do these things but Jerry can always deliver.

[ravenhawk1326]

you know that took hours of practice and listenting to the music to learn the timing

[CorbyTheJoker]

ya, im working on that for an assignment for my drama class. theres alot of cues you HAVE to know and...its frickin hard

[Jazzles77]

are you gonna do the face expressions too? They look hilarious, hard to do, but would be worth it!!!

[CorbyTheJoker]

not xactly. but ill knda be improvising the kinda stuff hed do. i sotra got a feel for his style

[ravenhawk1326]

he makes it look very easy too. talk about talent

[Jazzles77]

lol you gotta do the falling over at the end. classic!

[crocogater]

Did he even have to practice playing without his hands?

[mombryamy]

Hi. I love this clip so much I bought all the Martin Lewis comedy Hour dvd's. Can someone tell me which show this typewriter clip is on to save me hours of looking? Thanks!

[zisoul]

I wish fuckin'TV Land would show this.For the

past years they've been stuck on GUNSMOKE,

Leave It To Beaver,LUCY,MASH,ARCHIE BUNKER.

Great shows,but give us a fuckin'break.

[mychinchilla91]

Quel est l'auteur de la chanson?

[Bedlendelvestedek]

I could watch this two billion times.

[JEFFYjackass]

haha same here :) JERRY LEWIS 4LIFE :p haha

[theUnbeatableStan]

i could watch it more......lol jkz

[Jones499]

Pure genious....

[dejahoje]

Jerry´s the greatest entertainer of alltimes. I love him!!

[boffley]

jim careys a pale immitation

[extremist85]

I didnt see any funny... the man just do forced faces and listen to the playback.... this video is very poor...

[Brotha633]

how is the video very poor? i want the video in HD?..the video is good...and the funny thing about jerry lewis is that hes original. and nobody had done this before him.

[k2fatty2006]

your a loser dude if you dont find him funny dont watch his videos asshat

[redx777]

you should never analise shows it was a comedy rutien you oviocly have not seen jerry in the rest of his skitts so dont talk about somthing you dont under stand and of course the video is poor it was probably taken from vhs this show is really old of coures it is bad quality

[dilsen1206]

You will be poor, if you don't find him funny!!!

[twistendings]

I think I could watch this about a billion times.

[twistendings]

SO. CUTE.

[smartmarty]

one of the greatest....

[SomefabulousDame]

I love the goofy faces he pulls. He's so adorable.

[MrGeneKim]

I think I liked this routine better when Lewis did it in the movie WHO'S MINDING THE STORE? In that one, he pretended to type at a typewriter that wasn't there. Not only that, he made a couple of mistakes and reacted to them - and all that was left in the movie!

[Amamkoncahuanquichu]

do ya think he's an influence to Pee Wee Herman too?

[coolrag]

Jerry Lewis is Awesome

[Flickerfly]

What a guy. He has an outlet of sorts...if he happens to mess up, he can just pull faces. You can see he's an influence of Jim Carrey, without a doubt.

[JEFFYjackass]

its really awsome how jerry can go wit the typing sound then the switch thingy sound. how he pushs the typewriter left and rite.

[VampireAtrix]

Haha, very funny! :D

[igvmyslf1000pts]

Oooo!! That's one of my favorite Dean and Jerry movies!!! I love that "Gay Continental" song he sings in it! heehee!

[igvmyslf1000pts]

Oh really, which movie??
