LOUIE? THAT'S A CUE!!!

[shecky308]

This is hilarious,but someone please tell Jerry to bring back a whole bunch of JULIUS FERROUS KELP.Please jerry before you exit stage left,or right.!!!

[jfrsnjhnsn]

Thumbs up if you came here because of the James Wolcott article in Vanity Fair.

[sauroid1]

Martin has Lewis spot on. That fake sincerity and sickening charm which Lewis exudes has nauseated me for years. Is sort of like a 60s Vegas lounge lizzard has been. Now Martin Short, theres a comic genius. Too bad we haven't seen much of him lately. Lewis got his start with mob backing starring in mob night clubs. Lewis made his millions mocking the physically disabled. MDA is just another schtick for him. Lewis should just retire, live in Palm Springs with his 30 year old wife and infant child

[StanBennet]

I'm curious. Is Jerry Lewis a monster? Has anyone actually met the man to know?

[fossefan]

This makes me feel good. A lot.

[alimony812]

@ssailorbeware no doubt Jerry Lewis was the master of his art

[eightwasntenuff]

I know it's early but Happy 60th Marty aka Jerry aka Eddy aka Steeltown's Golden Boy, we miss you and the good old days

[ftsjr]

I love how they salute him, by throwing French bread.

[ssailorbeware]

this is hilarious but what's with all the nasty comments about Jerry Lewis? the man is a genius

[eightwasntenuff]

Whoever wrote this skit is a goddamn genius, an absolute CLASSIC

[evilnewwargod]

"ooh la la"

[GlobalPunditOrg]

"this French ego juice..."  LOL "they make me feel good - a lot, and I'm a tired, tired little boy..." LOL!! THEN the business rant!! amazing!!!

[luridplanet]

YEAHHH!!!

[titebody]

Hypnotizing. Jerry Lewis in the raw: no talent, not funny, can't sing, vile hypocritical bully,full of himself, stupid has been.  And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

[MerleOberon]

You'll jamais walk alone, love Martin!

[wickedfeylady]

You can't go wrong making fun of Jerry Lewis.

[kevlar21059]

Manifique,love the sailor suit rant.

[FRANKIESHANOWSKIY2K0]

martin short was excellent in the three amigos

i am a huge fan of the film and his alongside

my other fave amigos and stars chevy chase

and steve martin which both came from the

arrival comedy show snl in new york.

[cubuff80]

Hilarious, I especially loved the studio rant in the sailor suit.

[candy1710]

This is one of the greatest impersonations of all times. He just nailed Lewis, warts and all.

[McGeachan]

Excellent. Encapsulates the nasty monster that is Jerry Lewis. Hope he dies soon.

[chalomirof63]

@McGeachan Ahhhh ..... he may be a "nasty monster", but your own comment isn't what I would call benevolent.

[crocetti46]

@McGeachan what do you mean?

[dyinglikeflies]

@McGeachan =Wow, i hate Lewis too, but you are kind of buying yourself a stairway to hell with a comment like that about anyone who hasn't killed somebody else.

[loungelizard5000]

Love it !!!

[lowlypeasant]

this impression is quite vicious.. and so funny.

Martin Short has got to be one of the funniest people ever.

[hskrfnatic]

The ULTIMATE entertainer!! LOL

[TracyAndersonFoxhunt]

short is unbelievably good at this. i think its the best thing he's ever done. perfect lewis imitation

[Squank63]

I say the "I'm Jerry with a J, parlez vous francias..." line at the drop of a hat. No one knows what the hell I'm talking about.

[chalomirof63]

Like "Suck on this, Carmine?!" LOL.

[Squank63]

exactly like that! And when I'm feeling really good I throw in the "yeah! do me, show me!!".

[FritzOmnibus]

I could watch Short do Lewis 24 hours a day and I'm already in a mental ward.

[johnnynoirman]

LOUIE!....THAT'S A CUE!

[BipolarPics]

The speech in the sailer suit is hilarious .

[junkie4vids]

Martin Short is more like Jerry Lewis than Jerry Lewis.

[edwoodjr2003]

Classic. I have seen the other version referenced below; the final song is in english with this being a version overdubed in french. I also noticed a different "confrontation" with Louie after he misses the que.

[bigred997]

brilliant charicature!

check out the video that martin and jerry did together- it was a rehearsal and jerry let martin have it for not doing it as he wanted to be done.

[freeform83]

The song ("You'll Never Walk Alone"?) is different from the DVD version.

[woahannablue]

So it is! I wonder why? Even the "ya like yer job, do it!" speech is different.
