We complain a lot about how movies are all remakes and stunt casting and undisguised toy commercials, but all it takes is the occasional news out of Broadway to remind us that it could be worse. That crappy movie you wasted $12 on will probably spawn a crappy play with singing and dancing and Bob Saget playing the lead for one week only and no special effects. On that note, 83-year-old Jerry Lewis is set to make his theater directing debut on a musical version of his 1963 film The Nutty Professor.
With music by Academy Award, Emmy Award, Grammy Award and Pulitzer Prize winner Marvin Hamlisch and a book and lyrics by multiple Tony Award winner and Grammy nominee Rupert Holmes, the musical is aiming for a bow on Broadway in the 2010-11 season.
Lewis stated, “I was born with show business in my blood and working on Broadway gets it coursing through my veins like no other place can. Marvin and Rupert have given one of my favorite and most enduring films…a hilarious and gorgeous adaptation for Broadway and I could not be happier. Does this story sing and dance? You bet it does.” [Playbill]
It sings, it dances, it falls asleep on the couch and complains about the Orientals. I’m a-tellin ya, Bimbo, this heah hootenanny is the elephant’s eyebrows. Hold on… Cholly, I can’t hear a word this dame’s a-singin. Can someone replace the hydro tubes on her amplification box?

Jerry and Ed wait while Death uses “Eeny, meeny, miny, moe…” to select who’s “it”.
Being “born with show business in my blood” means that your Mom railed coke deep into her pregancy.
Expect the broadway adaptation to have 100% more jew testicle jokes.
Uly, we’ll go wiff take 2.
Jazz hands glaven!
Who stole Jerry’s neck?
Uh, maybe it’s wrong to respond to something from the last post on this new one, but meh. @ Fek, regarding my comment that mentioned you: it’s a little good, a little bad, a little neutral random observation, but mainly compliment.
I truly do get a big kick out of your, and all of the regulars on this sites, work, which is unique. I’ve never gone to a website with similar levels of anticipation for the goodness I’ll read in the main post as well as the comment section.
Congrats to Vince in continuing his great work here and hopefully the recognition (like today’s interview) only continues, and seriously, even though this is all wayyyyyyy more genuine and saccharine than this site normally allows, I just wanted to thank everybody who writes here for the bountiful good material they generate as well.
Jerry: Hymen scrotum splickety splacken!!
Me: Oh Jerry, you are comedy genious incarnate. Naw, just kidding, I’d only laugh at you if you fell down and shit yourself, so get to it fag!
Shit nedEff, can I get a BJ too? Maybe just a tickle on the mudhole?
I gave earnest thanks to all the funny people who post here regularly Crap, and obviously that applies to you, so yea, consider yourself fellated.
WOOT!
DOOOOOD!! In that pic on the right, Jerry has nailed my O-face.
Dean Martin is funnier dead than Jerry ever was.
Dean Martin too? Dam, what a week
I won’t be needing it nedEff. I can do it myself. (Starts to perform auto-fellatio. Cracks neck and dies. Funeral is centerpiece for two Jersey clerks’s wild adventure. “Weekend in Fisty”: Coming to a stockroom near you!)
cannonball
See, this is proof that god has a sense of humor. That’s why Jerry is alive. God is waiting for him to fuck a little boy or something so he’ll go to hell and then god won’t have to tolerate his fuckwitted horse shit for all eternity.
Along with scenes from this movie, foreskins will end up on the cutting room floor.

What?! Jerry Lewis made me do it!
Jerry Lewis may be a Nutty Professor, but what are his pyrotechnic credentials?
*The Mighty Feklahr regards the pictured bunson burner*
Goodness Kahless! Great Balls of Fire!
I’m writting a spec script about a pedophile priest called The Nutty Confessor.
I expect that in Transformers 3, there will be a robot that takes the form of pneumatic shop equipment and talks like Jerry Lewis. He won’t have a name, but they’ll call him the Nutty Compressor.
With pants hiked up that high, we can’t help but see his nutties.
I seriously thought it was that creepy tiny chick from poltergeist in the left pic.
*checks zipper
…what’s with the stunned silence?
*slowly fumes that Michelle hasn’t lowered her zipper yet*
Left pic: The most awesome jenkem still ever!!
Wow, good call on the Poltergeist midgit, dude.
*unzips Michelle0′s pants for her*
Whenever Jerry opens his mouth, two and a half dicks fall out.
If you go to this show you will become les miz and miss saigon.
Hmmm, I think I should have left that ^ joke in the skidmark underwear pile.
See the new super wacky Broadway romp about Sadam Hussein, The Nutty Opressor!

I like when your Mom gets drunk and becomes The Slutty Aggressor.

Also, Michael Bay thinks that “Director” and “Boom Operator” are the same job.
