Martin + Lewis = Guaranteed Laffs!

Many of you young whippersnappers (that's right, you heard me...) have never even heard of a comedy duo known as Martin and Lewis. Have you? HAVE YOU?? That's because today's generation, awash as it is with the comedy stylings of Adam Sandler, Will Ferrell and the rest of the recent alumni of Saturday Night Live have forgotten what true laugh-out-loud borscht belt-style comedy really is.

Well, I'm about to remind you.

Martin and Lewis were actually Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis, respectively, and many have forgotten that in the fifties they were the epitome of comedy. They were well-represented by their hosting duties on The Colgate Comedy Hour as well as their many movies. Of course, they split apart as many duos do, but their routines remain.

Now, for you unwashed heathens, here are a few classic clips of their combined genius.

Here is one with Jerry playing Dean's valet, with expected results...



Next is Jerry as a hospital orderly (trust me, it's a riot!)...



And finally a two-part routine with Dean as a photographer and Jerry as a bumbling window washer (like he could be a competent one).

PART 1



PART 2



Now, if that ain't comedy then y'all don't like chicken on Sundays. (...whatever that means.)

Dope out.
