It takes a genius to play an idiot.

Just think Jaques Tati, playtime (1967), and the unique, fantastical cinematic world he created; and then go back and watch Bellboy (1960). It’s a direct through-line, another leap in the surrealist/absurdist take on the Chaplin/Keaton oeuvre.

Genius

He was a comic genius. You'd know it if you've seen enough of his movies and his TV appearances.

He was hilarious... To the FRENCH Hey LAAAAAAAAAAAAADIES 🙄 GTFOHWTS Cringe AF

I met Jerry Lewis on his way to fly his plane in Burbank California in the late 60’s. He saw us waiting for passengers, put down his baggage and proceeded to act out a pantomime which left us in hysterics..a genius! No audience but in awe stewardesses ❤️

The fact you're talking about him is the answer to the question

Not funny in the slightest

A comic genius. NEXT!

A Paedophile!!!!!!
