Jerry Lewis (March 16, 1926 – August 20, 2017)

Not everyone was a fan but he made an indelible impression on society.

Were you one of his kids?

I never like the guy either. Seemed like an a-hole personality.

For a slapstick guy, he took himself way too seriously. 

Maybe there's a correlation there..

I liked him a lot when I was a kid. By the time I was 12 not so much.

If we're talking comedians, which I think we are - this guy is consistently great

Visit to a small Planet was one of my favorites. When I was 6.

My Dad liked Dean Martin but really did not like Jerry Lewis. I remember him saying when Lewis started those MD telethons that he spent his career mocking people like that.

The topic was actually the five year anniversary of the death of Jerry Lewis. I understand how that might trigger some.  :cool:

So is Francisco Franco. But his movies were just so so.

So what else can anyone add? That's a pretty limited subject.

Do you think people will come here and tell stories about where they were and what they were doing when Jerry Lewis died?

I thought it was about bad comedians.

You're never required to add anything, you know this, right? You don't have to be triggered by everything I post.  ;)
