He was not funny

The Nutty Professor was always one of my favourite films.

May your glaven rest in maven.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Miles better than the Eddie Murphy efforts.

Yeah, I always vote Jerry Lewis's Nutty Professor as "funniest film of all time" in polls, so when I heard they were doing a remake I was thrilled to bits and hoped they'd cast somebody like Jim Carrey in the part, but to my disgust they plumped for Murphy, so I vowed never to watch it, and I never friggin will!
Take it away Jerry..Smile-

I can see Jim Carrey actually doing that. All else being equal, of course.

Huh?  I never had a problem with the telethon.  It generated millions of dollars for research, and helped to get people like me into the nation's consciousness rather than shoved aside or ignored.
