Jerry Lewis -- Three Jokes

Jerry Lewis performing live in Brooklyn in 1994. Three sample yoks from his comedy routine. Should note the second one was proceeded by this odd thing he tends to do: grounding the joke in some supposed reality (in this case, he mentioned that it came from a story he read in "The New York Post"), as if that will make it funnier (strange...). In any case, this is Jer at his un-p.c. best.

Yes, the cam is pretty shaky here, but it's the audio that counts anyway. Thanks to Stephen K. for this bit of Jer history.

The harshest words always come from those that have offered nothing to mankind and feel that it is they that have somehow been shortchanged in life..We can not all be intelligent beyond compare, wealthy beyond belief and successful beyond dreams and being jealous (and angry) of those that are blessed by God with those attributes does nothing to better ourselves. Liberals are all the same..yes I know you're a liberal by your comments.

Jerry is a true humanitarian raising over a billion dollars for MDA. He doesn't do it to revive his career, he started doing his charitable work almost 60 years ago when he was the biggest box office star in Hollywood. I don't ever remember him using the term "cripple" but if he did, he never used in a derogatory way...he is from a different era before every thing was politically correct. Some of the greatest men his history were unfaithful to their wives. He also never beat his kids.

@chalomirof63 - Yes, but the difference is: I don't pretend to be a humanitarian, I don't cheat on my wives and beat my children. I don't make money out of handicapped children to revive a dying career & refer to them as 'cripples.'

He's a despicable leech. If you want to honor a great entertainer & special human being...erect more statues to Perry Como.
