  • Mr Martin (in response to what you say around :47 ---it's no joke, The Jerk actually IS one of the greatest films of all time. I can't count how many times I've watched this film over the years.... I totally caught the St Louis/No Navin Johnson joke! But I'll have to watch again to catch him stepping on the ukulele!

  • Steve Martin is fantastic.

  • NAVIN JOHNSON = ELVIS PRESLEY SAME LETTERS NUMBERS

  • Steven Martin playing ELVIS PRESLEY in THE JERK. Take a good look at thE KARATE SCENE . You will notice lots of Elvis Life matters... his mafia finally getting beated (it is amazing the resemablance with som actual Memphis Mafia members) his black belt karate, his jewelery and his indian heritage... IT IS ALL THERE.

    THE JERK (1979) IS AN ELVIS PRESLEY LIFE TALE

  • @mrsparex So do I..,She is / was gorgeous.....

  • @pretongo lol...yeah it says in fact, elvis had a black soul, being poor, getting rich, breaking his guitar (ukulele here) by stepping on it, so his career was over lol...he had to vanish and he went an ashtray, matches, a chair....lol....and at the end he is dancing with his family happily ever after....=)....steve martin is the real king =)).

  • maybe an elvis presley life tale movie...

  • @ecurb10 The problem isn't that he's not funny anymore, the problem is the movies he's doing just aren't very good. Follow him on twitter to see how funny he can still be.

  • So what's happened to Steve...why isn't he so funny anymore???

  • Who can dislike this video? Such a great film!

  • @genXrVT You can make the case that comedies are far more difficult than dramas or other genres, and that "The Jerk" is among the greatest comedies, so yeah... it can be considered the best film of all time. "Dumb and Dumber" is sort of the sequel to "The Jerk."
