WARNING: We promised that we'd warn you if we post jokes and stories that are not family-friendly so you can shield yourself or anyone around you from them. So be warned, here they come.
The Jewish Week of New York City runs a Best Jewish Comic contest every year. In June 2010, one of the joke tellers was Linda Landau, a 71-year-old standup comic who started delivering jokes at the age of 60. At the start of her routine, she welcomes the audience to "Anti-Misogyny 101" in an attempt to get even with male comedians who tell jokes that are putdowns of wives, girlfriends, and mothers.
Her first joke takes the expression "Why buy the cow if you can get the milk for free?" and turns it into "Why buy the pig when you can get the sausage for free?" From then on, it's a non-stop barrage of one joke after another for nine minutes. Some are old jokes that we've heard on "Old Jews Telling Jokes" but others are new to us.
Some of you have been asking for more jokes among the many topics that we post. Please let us know if this collection is what you had in mind and indicate by leaving comments or checking the boxes below the video whether you like or don't like jokes of this type so we can fine tune our mix of Jewish humor in the future.
Enjoy!

For blue-er humor, Linda was very good. Humor like this would be fine every so often, but please don't let JHC drift into this type.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sending us something wonderful each day!
Please understand that this post is a rare exception to my family-friendly posting policy. I wanted to see readers' reaction to other kinds of jokes. Linda's blue jokes are mild -- I would call them sky blue, not deep navy blue, but they still warrant a warning. It was also an opportunity to give a nod to senior comics who don't often get much exposure. Judging from the reactions so far, it was a good choice. There are far more likes than dislikes, and the number of views is very high.
DeleteIt's sort of like Joan Rivers without the plastic surgery, humor,timing,personality or act! OY..........keep working those Senior homes----not really professional!...and uncomfortable to watch.........
ReplyDeleteSorry, but I think she should sit-down...........
