(The title card is shown, featuring an old man crossing his cane with a little boy’s baseball bat, as dramatic music plays and lightning strikes) NC: Say, what do Eddie Murphy and Jerry Lewis have in common? NC (voiceover): Well, they both can be comedic geniuses when they’re not ungodly annoying, but they both had a movie that seemed to define the good chunk of their careers, and they just so happen to be the exact same movie: “The Nutty Professor.” (The title screens for both movies are shown) NC (voiceover): Both these films, in so many ways, are considered comedy classics, as one of the few remakes that’s said to be as good as the original, but which one is better? Which one has more comedy, better characters, and the better story? NC: Well, it looks like once again, I’m gonna have to decide, because you mindless apes can’t think for yourselves. This is “Old vs. New: The Nutty Professor.” (The opening sequence features pictures of the characters from both movies, playing to the theme music from both movies, ending with the title card “Lewis Version vs. Murphy Version”) NC: Now, the categories on this are gonna be a little condensed, seeing as how there’s no action scenes, villains, and so on and so forth. Also, I’m gonna work backwards. I’m gonna start with story first this time, because…in comedies like these, the main character’s the main focus, so…we’ll leave that for the last. Anyway, with all that said, let’s start with Story.
