But times were changing. In the 1980s, a wave of Jack Lemmon "revival" swept the nation's youth. ''Odd Couple'' T-shirts and ''Some Like It Hot'' [[bumper sticker]]s replaced "Frodo Lives" as the [[meme]] ''du jour''. College students would hold "Lemmon parties" in their dorm rooms, at which the actor's entire ''oeuvre'' would be shown in marathon all-night sessions, fueled by [[coffee]] and [[fortune cookie]]s. VHS rentals of Lemmon's films picked up, although Lemmon saw few royalties from those sources.
