Rest in power, Dick Gregory!
RIP Jerry Lewis.

I'd like to take a moment, on this very solemn occasion, to recognize that Jerry Lewis was the least funny human being to ever live. His act was repulsive like vomit. RIP.

I was never a fan. And he played the piano standing up? Oh. Wait. Him. Yeah, never found him funny; always came across a little ... retarded? Sorry to speak ill of the dead, but I'm not sorry.

Dick Gregory was such a ****ing pioneer. Dude is up there with Lenny Bruce.
Jerry Lewis was really funny early on with Dean Martin. He just fell back on the same bits to the point of completely wearing them out. And ya, he'd get weepy after being up and broadcasting for over 20 hours. His telethons raised nearly $2.5 billion through the years so he deserves credit for that.

This is true, I watched a highlight reel of funny moments and they showed quite a bit of his stuff with Dean Martin.

RIP legendary guitarist John Abercrombie. Frowny, I assume you were a fan?
