Share this on...

You may remember the old Jewish Catskill comics of Vaudeville days:

Shecky Greene, Red Buttons, Totie Fields, Joey Bishop,  Milton Berle, Jan Murray, Danny Kaye, Henny Youngman,  Buddy Hackett, Sid Caesar,  Groucho Marx, Jackie Mason, Victor Borge,  Woody Allen, Joan Rivers,  Lenny Bruce, George Burns, Allan Sherman, Jerry Lewis,  Peter Sellers, Carl Reiner, Shelley Berman,  Gene Wilder, George Jessel, Alan King, Mel Brooks, Phil Silvers, Jack Carter,  Rodney Dangerfield,  Don Rickles, Jack Benny, Mansel Rubenstein, and so many others.

And there was not one single swear word in their comedy.  Here are a few examples:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mrs. Kuhlman answered, “So did my arthritis!”

 

Patient: “I am 60!”
Doctor: “See! What did I tell you?”

 

Doctor: “Don’t answer!”

 

The judge says, “You’ve been brought here for drinking.”
The drunk says “Okay, let’s get started.”

They’re worth it.

A: Because Jewish women don’t like anything that Isn’t 20% off.

In Jewish tradition, the fetus is not considered viable until it graduates from medical school.

 

 

A: They never let anyone finish a sentence!

“Not too good,” said the mother. “I’ve been very weak.”
The son said, “Why are you so weak?”
She said, “Because I haven’t eaten in 38 days.”
The son said, “That’s terrible. Why haven’t you eaten in 38 days?”
The mother answered, “Because I didn’t want my mouth to be filled with food if you should call.”

 

She asks, “What part is it?”
The boy says, “I play the part of the Jewish husband.”
“The mother scowls and says, “Go back and tell the teacher you want a speaking part.”

A: (Sigh) “Don’t bother. I’ll sit in the dark. I don’t want to be a nuisance to anybody.”

 

They tried to kill us. We won. Let’s eat.

“Force yourself,” she replied.

A: Eventually, the Rottweiler lets go.

 

And my favorite joke of all (what, you’d expect something different?):

The study revealed that this is due to the fact that Won Ton spelled backward is Not Now.
