Comedy Not What It Used To Be

Rating: 1/10 (22 September 2017)

When Jerry Lewis died Jim Carrey wrote that because of Jerry Lewis he is the comedian he is today. Jerry Lewis was part of a group of comedians who knew how to make you laugh. Your entire family could enjoy a good comedy skit or movie together. Today these comedian-wannabes don't know how to make a person laugh without including trash in their routine. The true comedians of Jerry Lewis's era didn't use profanity, make useless sex jokes, jab at public officials in order to put them down and make them look stupid in public. Don Rickles always made sure if he picked on anyone they could walk away feeling good about themselves and not be offended. All those comedians - Lewis, Rickles, Hope, Kaye, Benny, Martin, Skelton, etc - they didn't use trash talk comedians use today. Any of today's comedians who say they learned from the masters are lying. Comedians today inject their personal religious beliefs or personal political left-wing beliefs in their routine forcing paying customers to listen to them when it's no one else's business what the comedian believes or thinks. Jim Carrey made about 5 or 6 movies I liked and have. This movie "Yes Man" turned me completely against Jim Carrey because of the scene where a grandmother gave him a blow job. You didn't see the act but you knew what was going on. That was disgusting. Sorry Jim Carrey but you are not funny anymore and not worth the price of a ticket to see any of your trash! No comedian in this day and age is worth it.
