Cahiers du Stupidité : Scenes From an Idiot's Marriage

posted June 18, 2009 6:01 AM

Okay, I'm sorry, but this is too funny. Since we've been snarking on Ingmar Bergman for the last two days -- for allegedly being humorless -- I think it's only fair to remind everybody of his little known collaboration with comic auteur Jerry Lewis.

Yes, yes, I know -- that's actually Martin Short in an old SCTV parody, but I'd never seen it before and it's now on my, you should pardon the expression, short list of Funniest Bergman Take-Offs of all time (see: De Düva).

I would also like to mention, for the record, that Short's SCTV costar in the clip, the amazing Andrea Martin, could have me if she played her cards right.

Just saying.

Love the sweaters!

And the scene at the table.

They were brilliant.
