We Have Been Commanded To Induct Mel Brooks As Moses Into the Jewish Comedy Hall Of Fame

Ladies and gentlemen, today is the Jewish holiday Shavuot, where we celebrate the anniversary of Moses getting those 10 Commandments.

Who is better suited to honor this auspicious day than good ol' Mel Brooks? On this Jewish comedy blog, no one.

Seriously, the man's one of the few people to ever win Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony award. In addition to all that, even his non-award winners make up some of our favorite films of all time. He's amazing.

So it is no surprise that when we realized that it was Shavuot today, this Mel and the 10 Commandments clip (from History of the World Part I) was the first thing that popped into our heads. Short, sweet and classic.

Mel, we'll follow whatever remaining commandments you have. We'll even follow you through the desert for 40 years. You'll keep us laughing all the way.
