Jerry Seinfeld Tells How to Write a Joke


One of Jerry Seinfeld's popular stand-up comedy jokes is about the invention and marketing of the Pop Tart by the Kellogg company. It took him two years to complete writing the joke.

In an interview posted by The New York Times, Jerry revealed the process that resulted in creation of the joke, and discussed the long time involved from the conception of the joke through multiple rewrites in longhand on a yellow pad.

It's a fascinating insight into the effort involved in crafting a joke that will produce laughs. If you haven't heard the joke, we're posting a clip of its delivery below the interview video.

MamaLA and the Mohel - A Funny Interview from the LA Jewish Journal



Rabbi Shalom Denbo of Los Angeles sat down for a funny interview last month with Julia Moss of the LA Jewish Journal. 

Rabbi Denbo is a mohel, and often finds himself telling jokes or being told jokes about  his profession.

As Moss, also known as MamaLA, wrote in the Journal,
Jokes? Denbo has heard them all. Years ago, as part of a marketing campaign, he ran an ad in the Jewish Journal that read, “Tell me a mohel joke I haven’t heard, and you’ll get a bris for free.” There were no winners. Not even: “Do you work for tips?”
Born in New Jersey, trained in Israel and now living in Pico-Robertson, Denbo is the author of “7 Traits: How to Change Your World” and has traveled as far as Tahiti, performing more than 1,000 brises, the ceremonial circumcision covenant that connects Jewish boys to their heritage on the eighth day of life.

In the spirit of Purim, a group of congregants and staff of Congregation Adath Jeshurun, a Conservative congregation with 1200 members, bravely try their hands at telling some of their favorite (old) jokes. 

Are they funny? You tell us with your likes and don't likes and comments below.

A Joke to Start the Week - "Hearing Aid"


Well, Purim is over, unless you are celebrating today because you live in a walled city from the time of Joshua, e.g. Jerusalem. 

For everyone else, it's just another Monday. But Mondays are special days, too, since we starting running a Joke to Start the Week a couple of years ago.

Once again we go to the archives of Old Jews Telling Jokes and come up with 68-year-old retired bookkeeper Marvin Nissenbaum telling an oldie but goodie about a hearing aid.

Here's the setup: A man just got a new hearing aid, and he's boasting to his friend how great it is. And then...

Comedy Classic: Buddy Hackett Asserts His First Amendment Rights to Johnny Carson


Some of the most liked of our blog posts have involved the comedy, or sometimes just the presence of Leonard Hackett, who we all know as Buddy Hackett. 

Buddy made many appearances on the Johnny Carson Show, and often the dialogue between them was just as funny, or maybe even funnier, than Hackett's stand-up jokes.

A recurring theme of these late night conversations was what Hackett could and couldn't say on TV, given his propensity to cross the line and utter words that got Carson into trouble with the censors. 

In the video we're sharing today, Hackett starts off by talking about golf, southern accents, and his mother, but at around 4 minutes into the clip he gets passionate about the TV censors denying his First Amendment rights to use a three letter word meaning "buttocks." He launches into two jokes that illustrate his point.

Enjoy!

Meet Cory Kahaney and Her Politically Incorrect and Funny Stand-Up Comedy


Cory Kahaney is a major presence in the Jewish comedy scene. A stand-up comic in her own right, Kahaney has produced one-woman shows, tributes to the brilliant Jewish comediennes who paved the way for all women in stand-up, and HBO specials. She was featured at the Just For Laughs festivals in Montreal in 1998, 2001, and 2005. 

She is the recipient of the ‘BACKSTAGE’ Bistro Award for best Comedian in NYC and Manhattan Association of Cabaret Award for 'Outstanding Female Comedian'.

But stand-up comedy is her specialty, and so is political incorrectness. In this video clip, Kahaney tells how she explains the difference between Democrats and Republicans to her children, and relates an incident in which she turned a criticism of her joke using a Chinese accent into a teaching moment on what does and what doesn't merit taking offense at the use of dialect in comedy.

A Joke to Start the Week - "Snow White"



Here in Jerusalem the week started yesterday with everyone digging themselves and their cars out of the more than a foot of snow that covered the city over the last few days. But everywhere else the work week starts today and there's no better way to start it than with a joke -- an old joke, of course, but one that can still produce smiles (maybe accompanied by some groans). 

This could be considered more a pun than a joke, but we think it produces the same result. Today's punster is Jeff Openden, a 67-year-old retired school counselor. The pun, like most of the jokes that we've been running on Mondays, comes from the collection at Old Jews Telling Jokes.

Here's the setup: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs were walking around one day. It was her birthday, and the dwarfs decided "You know we're going to give you a birthday present. We're going to give you a camera." And then...

Enjoy!

A Joke to Start the Week: "Israeli Rowing Team"


Here we go again. It's time to start off another week with a joke. It's definitely not a new one because as we often say, there's no such thing as a new Jewish joke. But the old ones keep us laughing every time we hear them. 

This oldie but goodie is one of our favorites, especially as we head to Israel for a month of looking for funny situations to share with you.

Today's joke teller is Paul Eisenman, another veteran of the Old Jews Telling Jokes ensemble. He's 86 years old with a career in advertising and public relations.

Here's the setup: The State of Israel decided that they wanted to get into the international competition of rowing and so they formed a team and they did terribly. They participated in competitions and they invariably finished last, and by a wide margin, So....

Enjoy!

A Joke to Start the Week: "Air Conditioning"


It's Monday morning. Time to share another old joke from the archives of Old Jews Telling Jokes. Today's jokester is Fred Rubin, a 64-year-old television writer, producer, and visiting professor.

Here's the setup: Around the 1920's three Jewish brothers, Norman, Hyman, and Max Schwartzman, invent this miraculous machine that can instantly cool the air in a room.

They decide to take it to Henry Ford, the great industrialist. And then...

Enjoy!

Comedy Classics: Henny Youngman on Dick Clark Live


It's been more than a year since we posted a stand-up comedy routine by Henny Youngman, the king of the one-liners. If you remember Henny, it's probably for his most famous line, "Take my wife, please." But Henny was much more than that one joke. He could deliver the one-liners, one after another in rapid succession.

In 1988 Henny appeared on the Dick Clark Live show, and delivered a barrage of jokes that had the audience laughing nonstop. This is a different set of jokes from the ones we posted last year and runs about five minutes. In this set, he jokes about his wife, Tammy Baker, his recent trip, President Bush, the Carnegie Deli, Italian people, his doctor, and his grandson.

Enjoy!

A Joke to Start the Week - "Yiddish Voodoo"


Just two weeks ago we were back at Kutsher's Resort in New York's Catskill mountains, performing our sixth and seventh shows there this season. 

We also had the pleasure of meeting some very interesting and funny guests with whom we shared good food, stories and jokes in the dining room.

Friday morning we found a quiet corner in the spacious lobby and recorded a few of the guests telling some of their favorite jokes, which we will be posting over the next few Mondays.

 Today's joke teller is Bernette Rudolph, an 84-year-old artist from Brooklyn. She has been exhibiting her art for over fifty years in galleries and museums throughout the United States with patrons worldwide. Her work, mainly using wood, relates to her life in Brooklyn where where she has her Park Slope studio. The wide range of her colorful works can be seen on her web site, www.Bernette Rudolph.com.

Here's the setup for today's joke:  Two men travel to the deepest, darkest jungles of Africa. They come to an opening. And then...

Enjoy!

A Joke to Start the Week - "Waiting for the Czar"


It's Monday morning again -- time for another joke to start the week.

Now that we have our own source of new jokes (actually old jokes retold, because as we often say, there's no such thing as a new Jewish joke) we're sending another one your way from our collection of videos that we've been making at hotels and communities where we present Jewish Humor on Your Desktop - a Unique Comedy Experience.

Here's another one from Monroe Township, New Jersey, where we put on a show at a comedy brunch in late July. The Jokester this time is Art Nash.

Here's the setup: In Old Russia, two Jews decide they want to assassinate the czar. So they wait in hiding and then...

Our apologies once again for the background noise. The crowd was just having too much fun. In future audience participation joke sessions, we'll try to find a quiet corner to capture the jokes.

Amidst all the noise and laughter as people were leaving, we lost the piece of paper on which we wrote Art's profession. Art, if you're reading this and want it added, please send an email or mention it in the comments below.

If you like the series, let us know with a "like" or "more jokes" entry in the comments section, and we'll continue collecting Jersey jokes and jokes from other locations where we are booked for fun events.

Enjoy!

A Comedy Classic: Jackie Mason on Hospital Forms and Indian Doctors


As our readership grows and more of you are commenting and telling us your likes and dislikes, we're fine tuning the daily blog posts to be more in line with your interests. We'll never go entirely to jokes or music or Yiddish or nostalgia or food reports, but the more we know about your preferences the more we hope you'll enjoy the daily mix that is Jewish Humor Central.

One of the comedians you like a lot is Jackie Mason, and we've also heard it from audiences at our comedy shows. So today we're sharing another one of Jackie's most popular routines, from his 2008 Broadway show, The Ultimate Jew.

In this video clip, Jackie carries on about the unimportant and unnecessary questions posed to patients entering a hospital for treatment, and launches into a very politically incorrect but very funny bit about how most doctors in hospitals today are Indian. 

In his routine, Jackie adopts an Indian accent as he tries to convey the communication problems that emerge when an accented doctor tries to explain medical procedures to a patient who can't understand a word of what he's being told.

Enjoy, and please share your likes, dislikes, and opinions with us each day.

A Joke to Start the Week - "A Golfing Accident"


It's Monday morning again -- time for another joke to start the week.

Now that we have our own source of new jokes (actually old jokes retold, because as we often say, there's no such thing as a new Jewish joke) we're sending another one your way from our collection of videos that we've been making at hotels and communities where we present Jewish Humor on Your Desktop - a Unique Comedy Experience.

Here's another one from Monroe Township, New Jersey, where we put on a show at a comedy brunch in late July. The Jokester this time is Lou Goldstein, a retired lumberman.

Here's the setup: A fellow is playing golf and he's ready to hit the ball. All of a sudden a ball comes down and hits him and then...

Our apologies once again for the background noise. The crowd was just having too much fun. In future audience participation joke sessions, we'll try to find a quiet corner to capture the jokes.

World's Only Indian-Jewish Stand-up Comedian Stands and Delivers


Back in November 2010 we introduced you to Samson Koletkar, the world's only Jewish Indian stand-up comic. In that post we shared a video clip of his logical analysis and proof that there are no Jews in the world.

Today we found another video clip of Samson to share with you. In this one, he talks to the audience about the baby that he and his Hindu wife (and convert to Judaism) are expecting, 

Samson jokes about the sex of the baby and throws in some stereotypical comments about Indians and Jews.

Enjoy!

P.S. Tonight we're doing some stand-up comedy of our own on stage at Kutsher's Stardust nightclub in Monticello, New York, as part of our presentation, Jewish Humor on Your Desktop - a Whole Lot More than Catskills Comedy.  If you're going to be in the area, stop in and say hello! If not, take a look at the opening monologue of this presentation, in the video clip in the left column. We're now taking reservations for bringing the act to synagogues and JCCs this winter, especially in South Florida and California.

A Joke to Start the Week: "A Rabbi Eats Out"


We know you've been eagerly anticipating the appearance of today's blog post in your email, Facebook, or Twitter feed because it's Monday - and time for a joke to start the week.

Now that we have our own source of new jokes (actually old jokes retold, because as we often say, there's no such thing as a new Jewish joke) we're sending another one your way from our collection of videos that we've been making at hotels and communities where we deliver lectures/shows/presentations.
Here's another one from Monroe Township, New Jersey, where we put on a show at a comedy brunch in late July. The Jokester is Arnie Brown, a dentist.

Our apologies for the background noise. The crowd was just having too much fun. In future audience participation joke sessions, we'll try to find a quiet corner to capture the jokes.

"A Woman Goes to the Doctor...": The Funny Old Jokes of Lou Mason


Yes, we said Lou Mason, not Jackie Mason. Apparently he wasn't a relative of the master of Jewish comedy, but back in the 1970s he was making regular appearances in the Catskills and releasing records (those funny-looking round pieces of black plastic) filled with Jewish jokes.

This week we unearthed a collection of jokes told on one of Mason's records that we thought you'd like to hear. It's four jokes delivered in a rapid-fire style, all with the common theme of funny interactions in the doctor-patient relationship.

Information about Lou Mason is not easy to find, but we did find a blog in which the readers, challenged to come up with details about his life, confirmed that Mason was frequently on stage at the Lebowitz Pine View Hotel in Fallsburg, New York in the 1970s.

A Joke to Start the Week: "A Seat at Giants Stadium"



Another Monday, another joke to start the week. But this week, there's something different. 

When we started the weekly joke, we relied pretty heavily on the joke inventory of Old Jews Telling Jokes. But as we started our lecture tour, we found that members of the audience were anxious to have their jokes heard as well.

It started at Kutsher's in the Catskills at the beginning of July, and that's why most of the July jokes came from the videos that we took in the lobby of that venerable resort hotel.

At the end of July, we gave a presentation at a 55+ gated community in New Jersey, and when we offered a few minutes of fame to anyone who wanted to share a joke, we found some good customers. Hence, Jersey Jews Telling Jokes, a new series which will apppear for the next four Mondays.

If you like the series, let us know with a "like" or "more jokes" entry in the comments section, and we'll continue collecting Jersey jokes and jokes from other locations where we are booked for shows, lectures, and presentations.

Enjoy!

Comedy Classic: Rodney Dangerfield Stand-Up 40 Years Ago


Rodney Dangerfield was an American comedian and actor, known for the catchphrase "I don't get no respect!" and his monologues on that theme. He is also remembered for his 1980s film roles, especially in Easy Money, Caddyshack, and Back to School.

It's hard to believe, but it's true that it's been 40 years since Rodney delivered a stand-up routine on the Dean Martin Show.

In this episode, Rodney delivers most of his famous comedy lines.

Enjoy!
