Inexplicably Famous People cont.

Danny Kaye. Yup, you had to know that sooner or later, on my list of inexplicably famous people Danny Kaye would be making a stellar appearance. While I have mentioned Jerry Lewis in other posts, you will, if you make an effort, notice that he has never made it onto THIS particular list. That is because his fame is not ENTIRELY inexplicable: for one thing Dean Martin was his partner for many years. Dean Martin was a pal of the Mob. So inexplicability is not the issue here. ADVISEABILITY maybe. PLUS he runs that million dollar charity......thing.....he does. From Las Vegas. That never seems to accomplish much. At least not for the victims of whatever it is that the charity ain't curin'. So he ain't inexplicable. If you look around, under here, under there, under ONE o' them rocks, you are going to find explicability. With an Italian last name on it. But Danny Kaye? Holy shit. Only a cellar fulla blackmail photos would explain his movie career. He could do nothing: and construct so much crap around it - that you were convinced he just built the Parthenon. Goofy songs, goofy noises, goofy expressions, goofy verse, goofy mugging, goofy spit-takes, goofy lip contortions, goofy monacle schtick, goofy hand gestures, goofy names, goofy yelling, goofy pratfalls, goofy laughing, goofy coughing seizures, goofy hiccups, goofy dialects, goofy sustained opera tonalities, goofy wheezings, goofy this, goofy that....and not one bit of it even remotely amusing or entertaining. Just bizarre. Like a two headed snake. You look at it. But you don't get it. Or see the point. Or understand what it could possibly be good for. But there it is. Danny Kaye is like that. A Danny Kaye movie marathon would probably be a good way to get Muslims to either confess, or commit suicide in their cells. That's what I want to do when I see a Danny Kaye "performance" of anything at all: confess or commit suicide. Whichever would get it to end the quickest. Here is Danny Kaye at his astoundingly embarassingly worst and deeply embedded inside his own weird world of entertainment at its most non human and unrelated-to-anything-earthly hideousest. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZG5KImGATL4&feature=related And if you manage to survive that entertainment apocalypse, from the very same movie - making it clearly therefore the worst move ever made - comes this, even for Danny Kaye - Medal of Honor winner for bilge and tripe and manic desperation for a miracle to occur and somehow transform this above-and-beyond-the-call-of-duty-Jew-moxie into genuine entertainment on at least SOME level. It doesn't happen. If you NEED an excuse to commit suicie the following clip will provide it for you. I'll say goodbye to you in advance. If you thought THIS BLOG was bad: heh heh: you ain't seen nuthin' yet. Take it, Danny!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmgdBvVOH9A&feature=related
