A good Jewish comedy: "Life Among the Goyim"

[guno]

Though our Jewish history comedy has been used to convey feelings without insighting the backlash of antisemitism


“Jewish comedy” can mean comedy based on Jewish references, but it can also refer to comedy rooted in a sharp sense of Us versus Them — “Life among the Goyim.” If we take “goyim” loosely to mean people who are strange, often affable, and potentially dangerous, then, yes, “Da Ali G Show” is Jewish comedy and we, in our digital phantasmagoria of a world, are all goyim, all on camera, all the time.

Went shopping with my Mom yesterday. Being the perverbial Jewish woman she complained incessantly finally resulting in my remarking on it.

"You'd complain about how high up you are, and how drafty it is even in Heaven. I shoulda been a standup comic, coulda done very well using you as resource material. You even did the "it's so cold in here, go ask the manager to turn up the heat a bit." while in the store." (using my best ad hoc New York Jewish mother accent.)
