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.

I turned it off when he went on and on about the "height" inquiry on the hospital form. Maybe the hospital wants it because, in conjunction w/the patient's weight, the hospital can obtain an objective indication of whether the patient is overweight or too thin, based on the patient's BMI?
ReplyDeleteOne must have a sense of humour to enjoy the skit. Had you watched the whole act and listened to Jackie babbling on in an East Indian accent, you would probably comment that some of the words were neither English or Indian. Get a life!
