I couldn’t stand him.
He was the most polarizing guy in hollywood. I couldn’t stand him either.
Really? His Buddy Love character was pretty good.
The telethons?
Not a huge fan. He was funny when being made fun of.
The Simpsons would make fun of him and the french with one joke. And of course Harry Shearer did his “Nutty Ptofessoresque “ professor Frink. Brilliant. Then Lewis did a cameo of Professor Frink’s long lost father. He was terrible at it.
With Deano he was better.
I never found him to be funny but as I recall the French thought he was great.
Some people couldn’t stand him. I love slapstick, and thought he was a genius. Watch “The Method to the Madness” just to see all the clips of people who directly stole from his routines-—a tribute, in my book.
“I couldn’t stand him.”
Neither could I.
The French loved him, and looked upon him as a god. That alone speaks volumes.
“I couldn’t stand him.”
Same here, and felt the same way about Bob Hope, but greatly respected Jerry’s MD work, and Bob’s devotion to our armed forces.
