Too bad, he was one of my favorite villains on the old Batman show, and probably one of the best Riddlers ever.

I think that he was a fantastic riddler. That laugh was priceless. No onw really matches it. Jim Carry was alright, but just not the same. "... Bummer..." was just stupid...

And the best Batman parody line was:

"Thankfully, I always carry my carosel reversal spray..."

and the best real one:

"Robin, hand me down, the Shark Repelant..Bat Spray..." as a shark was munching on Batman's leg, resulting in no injury to batman at all.

It looked like he set the presonance for Riddlerdom. Jim Carey just did an impersonation of his Riddler.

That's too bad... I liked seeing The Riddler on the old Batman show.

Jim Carrey... He was crazy, but his performance was in no way in comparison to the classic Riddler.

And the best Batman parody line was:

"Thankfully, I always carry my carosel reversal spray..."

Haha, wasn't that on an episode of Scooby Doo? I think I remember that... LMAO, that was random. But funny.

Gorshin wasn't even my favorite Riddler, that would be John Astin...

I didn't realize he was a talented impressionist and taught Rich Little...

And Cbass - if you're just going to be an ASS, why don't you leave before I ban you.

RockyV- that was in the Simpsons.
WildWill- I made a valid point about Jim Carry, what did I do wrong. If its about the puns I made, well everyone else did in this topic also.

That was on a Simpsons Episode. Bart and Milhouse were watching the classic Batman series and Krusty the Clown guest starred as Clownface. He trapped Batman and Robin on the carousel that went faster and faster. And yeah, you guys know the rest.

He was a nice guy in the original batman series. I enjoyed that villian against bat man very much. But now that guy is gone like the wind.
