Jerry Lawler/YMMV

  • Dork Age: His "puppies!" phase is generally considered the lowest point of his career as WWE's color commentator. Before then, he played a magnificent heel commentator during his days as a foe against Bret Hart and later was Rescued From the Scrappy Heap by turning face.
    • What's funny is that "puppies!" wasn't invented by him. It occurred in a match between Jeff Jarrett and the "Road Dogg" Jesse James. Jarrett was accompanied by his valet Debra, who was... well-enhanced. James said that if he won the match, "since [he was] the Road Dogg, he wanted to see her puppies!" Doesn't officially qualify for Mis Blamed, since King was the one who ran it
  • Dude, Not Funny: Michael Cole used the recent death of Jerry Lawler's mother to gain (the wrong kind of) heat going into Wrestlemania. The look Lawler gave Cole was equal parts sorrow, disgust, and rage.
  • Unfortunate Implications: Lawler's commentary in 2012 is depressingly rife with these, especially towards parental abuse. Two recent pieces stick out:

"When The Miz was five his parents deliberately lost him at the mall, and he still didn't get the message."
"When Cody Rhodes' parents gave him a rattle, it was attached to a snake."

    • And Fridge Horror sets in when you realize this goes further and implies Dusty Rhodes attempted infanticide.
