I've been on a classic Steve Martin kick lately. His collaborations with Carl Reiner (The Jerk, Dead Men Don't Wear Plain, The Man With Two Brains, All of Me) are some of the funniest stuff ever put on celluloid I think.

Here is his first short from 1977.

The Man With Two Brains is one of my all-time favorites. I think I can act out all of The Jerk verbatim.

In Dillman's Grove, our love did die,
And now in ground shall ever lie.
None could e'er replace her visage,
Until your face brought thoughts of kissage.

O pointy birds,
O pointy pointy,
Anoint my head,
Anointy-nointy.

Dammit. I had to Google to find out. LA Story wasn't one of my favorites so I guess it didn't stick with me.

But I do know all the words to "Picking Out A Thermos." :D
