The guy in the photo was raised by black sharecroppers, a target of an assassination, a multimillionaire inventor/carnival worker, and lost it all only to finally find his rhythm after being homeless and destitute.

You'd be gray haired too.

The Jerk is one of my favourite movies, but it's surprisingly rare for me to find someone else who knows it exists.

[-] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 33 points 2 years ago

My greatest comedies of all time:

  1. Airplane

  2. Naked Gun

  3. Blazing Saddles

  4. The Jerk

Any of those 4, and you will cry laughing.

we should start a new thread for all time comedies.. what about Real Genius? Brain Candy? Better off Dead? Caddyshack? Something about Mary?

Sorry your mom blew up, Ricky.

What's a little boy like you doing with big boy smut like this?

[-] MamboGator@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

The only one of those I still haven't seen is Blazing Saddles and I really need to rectify that.

Weekend at Bernie's is at the top of my list.

Isn't anyone gonna help this poor man?

[-] Orbituary@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Dude. Now... As ASAP as possible. And when you're done, watch it 5 more times.

Fun fact: first movie to ever feature a fart.

[-] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

Yes, you do. Comedic masterpiece.

[-] Donjuanme@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Ten years ago I would've added Idiocracy. 7 years ago it became a documentary.

He started graying mid '70s 🤷

[-] LegionEris@feddit.nl 15 points 2 years ago

Looks damn good in this picture for his mid 70s

[-] vivavideri@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

He's 78 now lol

[-] Orbituary@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

You don't like jokes much, do you.

[-] vivavideri@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Oh, no, I walk right past all the low hanging fruit and keep on walkin'

[-] TubeTalkerX@kbin.social 17 points 2 years ago

A Target of assassination? That nut-job hated those cans!

[-] baronvonj@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

Sounds like a typical bastard.

[-] Orbituary@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

You just randomly picking on people? It's not like you can flip through phone books anymore...

[-] baronvonj@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

That's why things aren't happening for people now. We don't have the spontaneous publicity of our names in print anymore.

[-] Orbituary@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I used to be someone.

He was also a philanthropist and donated a ton of money to stop cat juggling in South America.

[-] thefartographer@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

He also found his special purpose!

[-] MorrisonMotel6@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

He should see a doctor and get rid of it
