Jerome: The Man with Incredibly Red Lips was a show and comic written by Greg Heffley that was featured in the online book and the Do-It-Yourself Book. It is about a man named Jerome who unnaturally has red lips and constantly gets harassed because of it.
The show was initially made as a jab at poorly made sitcoms with repetitive jokes. According to Greg, The Man with Incredibly Red Lips was a way to see if he could make a better show with less time and resources than the big-budget programs he is satirizing.[1]
