Martin Lawrence

 

I. am. really. bad. at. this.

 

Is the answer to this Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis?

 

@blubarb
You have a few of the elements in your workings:

If
At
Not Genesis/beginning , but a synonym of these words…
Not ewe, but a homophone of that word…
What’s the hand instructing you to do?
How do you drink through a straw?
Seed(s)
- - -?
- - -?

You’re looking for a common adage, often expressed at times of failure…

Take ‘encouragement’ from your effort so far, and as the opener suggests: ‘Don’t give up’

 

If at first you don’t succeed, try, try, again?

 

Which is exactly what you did @Canuck

Telly Savalas - If
At-AT
Genesis - first
Ewe - you
Don’t walk
Suck
Seed
A rugby score - try x2
Two Times - again

Have one of these…



And one of these…

And a silver star for @blubarb for having a go, and showing his workings

 

The 40th…

 

Rowan and Martin is the answer.

@M'Bob was responding to the original rebus with pictures, showing different people with shared names - Rowan Atkinson, and Martin Lawrence.

Stick around, and maybe post some of your own

 

I’m gonna say:

BILL (William Bruce Jenner)
JENNER (Kendall Jenner)
CAR (Hyundai Sonata)
STRIKES (snake strikes)

And from there I’m lost. Comets, meteors, meteorites.

 

Ronald Reagan

Ronald MacDonald
Ray Gun

 

Dollar Bill
Hailee (Haley) Steinfeld
and ? Hyundai?
Hiss
Comets

Bill Haley and his Comets

 

Well, I guess I was way off track! Clever!

 

Has anyone figured out the Daughters of the American Revolution one yet?

 

I think I can see the Ronettes in there, but can't figure out how the first image fits.

 

Could be John Lennon's Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy)

Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR)
Ling Cod
Buoy

Have to pay that to TasMike as it's so close!!

Yes and hidden under that was the play on:



Couldn't resist the hidden pun - slowly getting the hang of the thought processes needed.

 

And my other pitiful effort was

standing/stood

Miss
