The best part of Dean and Jerry skits was all the ab-libs. You just never knew what was going to come out just Dean an Jerry mouth but also others in it with them
On tv they were sensational! Live, I am told, they were outrageous, at their best. Most of their films are good. A few like Living it up, are terrific! What killed the act? Jerry’s weight gain, Jerry’s rapidly growing ego, Jerry’s horrible treatment of everyone (yes, everyone), and the sappy, unfunny script for what was supposed to be their next film, the delicate delinquent. Dean was easygoing. He was decent to people. He was more talented than the act gave him room for. Jerry was a jerk. He grew not being the worst jerk, user, abuser, lair and total a-s in show business. If Jerry hadn’t been that way these guys could have gotten one maybe two years left of their career. The following decade Jerry’s successes were off shoots of his 1950s persona with Dean. He had a few huge successes ( the bellboy). And many failures. Audiences became sick of Jerry. Show biz was on to his huge ego. Deans career took time to rebuild. But he worked his was back up to the top with records, movie roles, a tv variety series, an a few film serious performances which were applauded by critics. Deans career stayed up. Jerry’s took a deep nose dive. What can we learn form this? Stay humble people! Treat others well! Work on improving your talents. Sure and steady wins the race.

I think that's Dean's uncle Leonard Barr that Jerry was slapping around and putting the pillow behind. Looks and sounds like him anyway.
Dean's nose joke made me ROFL! These guys were awesome together.
Can you believe how much leg room those passengers have??!! ✈️💺
Thanks for uploading! Jerry Lewis makes me laugh, puts me in a good mood .
J adore jerry ❤❤❤❤❤🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He also kind of sounds like SpongeBob Jerry Lewis in the sketch. I can definitely hear a little bit of a SpongeBob influence.
I believe it .
Who would believe that, 12 years later, Jerry Lewis would play a pilot in The Family Jewels...?
That film came out well after they split up
👍🤣🤣❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
