Wacky Wednesday Movie Clip: Mel Brooks as the Rabbi and Mohel in "Robin Hood: Men in Tights"

In his 1993 musical adventure comedy film Robin Hood: Men in Tights, Mel Brooks parodied the Robin Hood story featuring comedic references to previous Robin Hood films, particularly Prince of Thieves.

The film also features Brooks in a minor role; He plays the rabbi-mohel-wine merchant who gives Robin and his merry men a lesson in circumcision.

Enjoy!

Comedy Showcase: British Comedian Ashley Blaker on Circumcision

We've become big fans of Ashley Blaker, the British Orthodox comedian who's been getting rave reviews on his stand-up tours and requests for more video clips from our readers.

He has previously performed two sell-out tours of the UK (Ungefiltered and Meshuga Frum) to great acclaim and toured his comedy across Israel and South Africa. He started performing in USA with a sold-out show at New York's Gramercy Theatre.

In June Ashley performed in London and included a bit about the circumcision of his son, explaining the little known custom of burying the foreskin under a tree.

Enjoy!

Throwback Thursday Comedy Special: SNL Commercial for Car Smooth Enough for a Bris

On this Throwback Thursday we're sharing one of our favorite Saturday Night Live commercial parodies, the one for the 1978 Royal Deluxe II luxury car with a ride so smooth, a rabbi could perform a circumcision in the back seat. 

Well, we found the video, featuring Dan Ackroyd and Gilda Radner, with Garret Morris as the driver, and you'll see it below.

Enjoy, and Mazal Tov to all!

(We apologize for the short commercial that precedes the fake SNL commercial, but that's the only way we could show you the video.)
