It is still Shavuot. We are still celebrating the 10 Commandments. We've seen Mel Brooks, Steven Colbert and even Peter Griffin take their turns with those two famous tablets, but we have found a video that we think may be the greatest 10 Commandments clip ever.
10 Things I Hate About Commandments
Our Shavuot celebration continues with a list of
Happy Shavuot!
Yes, that's right! We're using another semi-obscure Jewish holiday to inspire our comedy blog!
In honor of the Jewish holiday that celebrates the 10 Commandments, here's some more hilarious commandment comedy. This one is brought to us by the brilliant Steven Colbert.
Congressman Lynn Westmoreland (GA) cosponsored a bill to require the 10 Commandments to be posted in the House of Representatives and the Senate.
Stephen Colbert asks him why this bill is important, especially since this was only bill he had ever sponsored. The results are hilarious.
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.
Brought to us by the brilliant folks at Awkward Family Photos.
"Every family should be entitled to throw out a gang sign every now and then… well, maybe not every family."
South Bronx high school teacher turned stand-up comedian Dennis Wolfberg was a high-strung, frustrated, lovable ball of nerves. His routines covered teaching, family life and, occasionally, being Jewish.
If he looks familiar to you, but you've never seen his stand-up, that may be because you are a nerd like us and loved him as "Gushie" on Quantum Leap!
Dear Jews, fans of Jews, and Anyone who enjoys wasting some time looking at funny crap on the internet,
Please spend some time perusing Fyvush Images. This insane, abundant, and downright trippy tribute to Yiddish theater/Picket Fences/Boston Public star Fyvush Finkle is just plain ridiculous.
For example:
If I was strong enough to pick up Fyvush and hug him like this polar bear was doing I would do it. Sadly I am not that strong, nor would Fyvush allow me to pick him up and hug him.
Ever wanted to hear Alec Baldwin use a ton of Yiddish? Just ask him about legendary Jewish deli, Barney Greengrass!
Turns out the 30 Rock star is nuts for hameshe food, and hameshe folks. A real connoisseur. He even talks a bit about growing up with honorary meschpucha, and a young star-crossed love with a Jewish girl.
Q: What's cuter than a regular kitty?
A: A Kitty in a yarmulke. 
These cats can defiantly not has cheezburger. It wouldn't be kosher!
Here are the best photos we could find of our Jewish feline friends wearing yarmulkes (or skull caps, or kippahs, or kappels or kippot). Whatever you want to call them, they look awesome on cats...
...Or should it be spelled "Katz"?
File this one under "We REALLY wish this was a real show that we could watch and Tivo"!
Really, let's admit it. We are totally jealous of the Bells, a delightful Texas couple who found a beautiful Jesus cheeto. We have never even gotten close to finding such a culturally significant surprise in our food. We dream of the day we discover a chopped liver scoop reminiscent of Abraham, or even a Golda Meir-shaped gefilte fish.
" It is a reminder of our blessings from God, but primarily I think it's a funny cheeto."

She's talented, but mostly we know her for her surly antics, her terrifying weight loss and her overwhelming addiction problems. Oh, yeah- and She's Jewish. That's right, Amy Winehouse is Jewish. A Jewish trainwreck.
It is difficult to sift through the thousands of pages tabloid coverage to uncover the Jew scoop on Amy. She planned on having a Jewish wedding, but her tumultuous relationship with video PA Blake Fielder-Civil far overshadowed the actual ceremony. Fielder-Civil was planning on converting, but again, with all the tabloid insanity, it is difficult to tell if that ever actually happened. We think not.
Here is what we know for sure. Amy is Jewish. Her elementary school photo is adorable. She drinks more than four cups of wine on Passover.
In honor of her heritage, here's a very special version of Rehab from someone who's "having a little fun, having a little Manischewitz wine..."

Alright, everybody. We're ready for the angry e-mails from our moms.
We were going to do top 5, but then we just kept going and giggling. It is a good thing that hell isn't a driving force in Judaism, because if it was, we're pretty sure we'd be headed there for this list.

We always secretly thought that Molly was the Jewish one, but now the wildly successful American Girl has released an official Jewish doll. Our inner 11-year-old girls are simply plotzing.
Like all American Girl dolls, the unvailing of Rebecca Rubin comes with a set of historically-based stories. Rebecca of course faces the trials and tribulations as well as the joys of her time. She's is a 9-year-old girl living on the Lower East Side in 1914 with her Russian-Jewish immigrant parents, siblings and a grandmother known only as Bubbie. She goes on New York adventures, speaks out for labor rights, and celebrates Chanukah.
Aparently, there is already some sort of contraversy. We guess as they launched Rebecca, they got rid of Victorian-era Orphan Samantha? Little gentiles all over are pissed, but not everyone is taking it out out on poor Rebecca.

Ben Stiller is no stranger to the Bar Mitzvah scene. Not only did he have one of his own in 1978, but his band, Capitol Punishment was the entertainment.
It is clear that he pulled from his own experiences for this hilariously specific U2 Bar Mitzvah sketch. Ok, so his Bono impression isn't exactly spot on, but the writing is still brilliant.
This piece is from the pilot episode of the early-90s cult favorite The Ben Stiller Show which starred Stiller, Andy Dick, Janeane Garofalo and Bob Odenkirk. After cancellation, the series won the 1993 Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing in a Variety Series. We can't bring it back, or give it anything as prestigious as an Emmy, but we can give it it's rightful place in the Jewish Comedy Hall Of Fame.
Is this video from a real episode of Joey? Is Matt LeBlanc just plugging the telethon? Is at a separate ad that they just shot using the Joey set?
We really don't want to have to watch more than a 1:18 clip to find out, so if someone could just e-mail us and let us know, that would be a real mitzvah. Or is it matzah?

He's a stereotype, but still sort of a badass. Leave it to Robot Chicken to not shy away from anything.
Most Jewish folks (and many a gentile) have all probably seen Fiddler On the Roof on more than one occasion in their life. The musical tale of a Jewish family struggling to uphold their culture and traditions in Tsarist Russia has been a favorite from broadway to the big screen and everywhere else you could imagine.
You know you've watched it. Maybe it was the VHS tape of the movie when you had a substitute Hebrew School teacher, or your cousin's community theater production, maybe you caught it in rotation with Yentyl on AMC late one night, or perhaps you spirit-gummed on a beard yourself in High School and played Tevye to adoring tennaged crowds.
Regardless of the medium, Fiddler has been a staple of our people like matzah or brisket since it premiered in 1964. A cultural touchstone, if you will. And we will, thank you.
Reminicing on all the various incarnations of Fiddler on the Roof we've experienced in our lifetime, we were inspired see which ones we could find on the internet. We found some pretty awesome and crazy stuff. Here are our

Our boy lost on Idol last night. We are super sad. We don't really care about American Idol, but we were excited for a new gay (?)/Jewish icon combo. The only way we can feel better is to watch amazing reaction videos, to know we are not alone. We are not the only ones who love Adam Lambert, and who feel like throwing some Yiddish insults in Kris Allen's direction.
We LOVE that the woman in the background calls Allen both a "schmuck" and a "schmo"!

In 1921 a Hungarian Jewish vaudevillian and his wife had a son, and the comedy world would never be the same. They named him Jacob Cohen, but we all know him as Rodney Dangerfield. After spending years doing everything from selling aluminum siding to acrobatic diving, Rodney finally found his niche as an insult comedian- but insulting himself.
He was a Grammy winner, a movie star and an american icon. His shirt and tie now hang in the Smithsonian.
Enough of this just talking about the man. Let's see him in action.
Here's a hilarious classic Rodney Dangerfield routine from his dvd special I Can't Take it No More.
I came from a real tough neighborhood. I put my hand in some cement and felt another hand.
I could tell my parents hated me. My bath toys were a toaster and a radio.
I drink too much. The last time I gave a urine sample it had an olive in it.
I had plenty of pimples as a kid. One day I fell asleep in the library. When I woke up, a blind man was reading my face.
I have good looking kids. Thank goodness my wife cheats on me.
I haven't spoken to my wife in years. I didn't want to interrupt her.
I looked up my family tree and found out I was the sap.
I told my wife the truth. I told her I was seeing a psychiatrist. Then she told me the truth: that she was seeing a psychiatrist, two plumbers, and a bartender.

6. Shiksa
Ok, so if the plate is true, I suppose she isn't Jewish, but it is in Yiddish just the same. 
5.Deli
Plain, simple, and to the point. Nothing super clever, just delicious.
4. Nudnicks
A nudnick is Yiddish for pest. 2 Nudnicks is Yiddish for kids in the back, road rage in the front. 
3. Faigelah
We love it. Out and Proud. Little known fact: did Jew know that Fageleh isn't only Yiddish for "homosexual", it also means "little bird"? Maybe the dude driving the Lexus is a little bird... probably not. 
2. Kvetch
This person clearly deals with Los Angeles traffic.

When he's not trying to get hired by Jimmy Fallon, humorist Lex Friedman, likes to make the internet a better place. He's created Jewgle, a hilarious, quick way to procrastinate.
Lex Friedma's site is not to be confused with Jewgle.org, which is way less funny, because it actually serves a purpose.
Jewish Robot has made a name for themselves (himeslf?) creating viral marketing videos for Jewish organizations. Here's the catch: they are really, actually, genuinely funny.
Though our favorite will probably always be Bitter Herb, we recently discovered another video that Jewish Robot made for Taglit-Birthright Israel that made us laugh. A lot.
Like a kosher adult swim, this video is totally absurd. It is reminiscent of the incomparably crazyBrad Neely. And we LOVE Brad Neely.

Love him or hate him, American Idol finalist Adam Lambert is a force to be reckoned with.
He's sweet, he's emo, he can sing a sexy, screaming Led Zeppelin or strange, sitar Johnny Cash... and he's JEWISH! That's right folks, we may have our first Jewish American Idol. Eliot Yamin (3rd place, season 5) paved the way, we know, we know. But Adam.. he could WIN!
Since tonight is the beginning of the 2-part finale, and he's already been seen out cavorting with Zach Efron and Vanessa Hudgens, we thought we'd better feature this rising star now, so se can still say we knew him when.
We knew him when. We knew him when he was being super-intense as Joshua the slave in the multi-million dollar superflop The Ten Commandments starting Val Kilmer.
What's that? You want to see some footage? Here you go!
If you're thinking to yourself, "sure, he played a Jew in a musical, but I won't believe he's really Jewish until I see him singing in Hebrew," here you go.
You can say you knew him when he had hair like a magician and was singing his heart out with Israeli performers, in a powerful tribute to Yizhak Rabin.
So, whether or not he is the chosen one tomorrow night, he'll always be chosen to us! Go Adam, Go!

It is traditional for the guests to entertain the bride and groom at Orthodox Jewish weddings by dancing and joking, much like jesters for a King and Queen. It is so traditional, in fact, that nobody at this wedding seems to bat an eye at the appearance of a creature that is for some, a frightening nightmare come true and for some an endless delight.

Jews around the world rolled their eyes this morning as RadarOnline reported that convicted murderer and confirmed meshugene, Phil Spector, has demanded a yarmulke, claiming that he is an Orthodox Jew. OY VEY!
Spector's wigs had been confiscated and his baldness-covering hat requests had been denied. What came next? A sudden turn to religion. The yarmulke revelation coincidentally came after Spector had reportedly been given a prison rules manual. Meshuge like a fox!
So now, aparently, he's wearing a giant, oversized kippah. I'm sorry, we need to say it again. Oy to the Vey.
You can check out some of Phil's completely insane sheitel attempts at RadarOnline.
Note: Did you know there are about a billion ways to spell "meshugene"? We didn't, until we tried to spell check this post.

This week, one of our favorite Jewish comedians, Marc Maron, spoke to the class of 2009 on his show Break Room Live. Just like his stand-up, it made us laugh and simultaneously want to jump off a cliff due to the state of the world.
"My heart dragged me through and English lit major with a minor in film criticism.... I basically have a degree in having a conversation."
The whole video is terrific, but Little Lisa's frustration (2:27) and her sassy facial expression when she says, "I'm Jewish" (2:31) are absolutely hilarious.
Madonna is marrying Jesus.
What? Wait. Oh, that Madonna and Jesus who? Oh a hot 22-year-old Brazilian model. Oh, Ok that makes sense.
Wait a second-- they're having a Kabbalah ceremony and she's wearing a giant cross in all the sexy W photos? And the wedding isn't legally binding? What is going on?!?!?? Why can't Madge just be simply old and sexy and married with babies anymore? Remember the good old days? Last year?
Remember even further back when she was just scandalizing the Christians and Catholics in the 80s and 90s? It seems like forever ago. 
Here's the scoop from DailyFill:
The Brazilian model's father Luis Heitor Pinto da Luz has revealed the couple are planning a Kabbalah ceremony to have their union recognized by the mystical Jewish faith followed by the 50-year-old singer. However, their union will not be legally binding.
Luis said: "The Kabbalah ceremony in New York that will link up my son Jesus Luz and Madonna only confirms that he is extremely happy."
He added to Brazil's Quem magazine: "She has small children, and Jesus helps her out with various tasks involving all of them. He plays ball with the kids. Jesus has charisma and loves children."
Despite the 28-year age gap between Madonna and Jesus, Luis insists he approves of their relationship.
He said: "I've spoken by phone with Madonna - in French, because my English is not fluent - and she appears to me to be a normal and polite person. She is feminine. I don't feel she is a harsh person."

Those who go to this kosher Deli in Brooklyn are very likely to get some gas. For real. That's because this Deli is also the Rio gas station!
The Rio gas station in Borough Park, Brooklyn is also home to a veyr popular Kosher deli.
New York Fox 5's "Anne About Town" checks out the unusual deli location and learns a little about hameshe kosher food. She and her fellow reporters seem fascinated and intrigued by it all, even though they (presumably) live in New York and none of it should come as any sort of surprise.
He was a writer for Sid Ceasar at age 16, a Broadway playwright by his 30s, and an Oscar winning director at 40. Then, he became synonymous with scandal when he married his ex-adopted-stepdaughter. Yipes!
Let's visit that era in-between all that. Today we'll feature some vintage Woody for today's Classic Kosher Comedy Corner.
Here are two amazing clips. One from his absolutely classic routine, "The Moose" and the other, an excerpt from a rare Canadian documentary.
The moose may be one of Woody Allen's most famous routines, but it is still delightful, and reminds us of why we loved Woody Allen in the first place.

Round 1 of People of the Comic Book is already over, but round 2 has just begun! Who will win? Will it be our supercrush Shadowcat? The embattled Magneto? Someone we just learned about named Sgt. Rock ? YOU decide!

Well, Lag B'Omer was yesterday, and we spend the whole day trying to figure out exactly what Lag B'Omer is. If only we had found this video by Jewish Journal.com's "video Jew", Jay Firestone!
He's Jewdorable, Jewlarious and makes sure Jew know exactly what is supposed to happen on this lesser known, but beloved Jewish holiday.
Not only is he totally fantastic in the new Star Trek movie, but Leonard Nimoy is, and always has bee, a Jewish icon.
Did Jew know that...
...Nimoy was raised Orthodox?
The Vulcan greeting hand-gesture was based on a signal he ...saw his Rabbi make when he was a little boy?
...Nimoy is an expert in Jewish music history?
... he performed in Yiddish Theater?
... I Heart Jews has created a list of Leonard Nimoy's Awesomest Comedy Videos?

We've asked a panel of non-experts (comedians, musicians, writers... Gentiles) to take a their best guesses to answer the question,
Here are the top 7 most ridiculous answers.
7. Lag B'Omer is the act of answering questions while puking up a lot of drugs. Pretty close to b'omerHORF.

6. It's French for "jetlag" .

Steve Agee (SteveAgee, The Sarah Silverman Program)
1. Oh, I've seen Lag B'Omer. It's the The Israeli version of Rudy.
Jeff Crocker (SuperEgo)
The real answer is a little confusing, but we'll tell you this: Lag B'Omer involves bonfires, archery and, of course celebrating the survival of our people.

Stand-up comedian Judy Gold is an expert on Jewish mothers. She literally wrote the the book on them.
She may have gotten some flack in the past for promoting Jewish stereotypes, but she proves that her comedy comes from a very real, personal place in this classic Comedy Central clip. Like Wendy Spiro, Judy involves her acutal mother in her set, but this time Mom isn't telling jokes. Judy's mom is dead serious. And seriously hilarious.

Maybe the best thing to get your mom this Mother's Day is some space. Take it from George Costanza.
Mother's Day is this weekend, people! Today we at I Heart Jews celebrate our fabulous, sassy, loving, hilarious, Jewish Mothers!
Inspired by yesterday's condom commercial featuring the classic song "My Yiddishe Mommae" we went hunting for other odd video interpretations of the song. We found some doozies. Here are our top 5 meshuggene video versions of "My Yiddishe Mommae"

What exactly is going on here? Is it an Andy Kauffman-style straight faced comedy bit? A serious moment from the comedian who calls himself "Fat Jewish Guy"? Why is there a random tushy? This is totally bizarre.
Our countdown to Mother's Day continues with this ridiculous animated internet jokeybits video.
I Heart Jews may have a new theme song.
WARNING: This song will get stuck in your head and you will be singing it all day.
We know it isn't kosher, but this terrific Jewish Mother is a total ham! Her dance moves, her charm, and her crazy improvised hand puppets (using her actual hands) are absolutely adorable and makes us want to go call out moms and let her know we love her. And that it's good to be Jewish. And we like it.

New York-based comedian Gil Ozeri must not own a kosher phone card. Though he does stand-up, sketch and improv, Gil is oft known on the web for his phone sex pranks. He calls in, hits record, asks for something weird, and lets the hilarity ensue.
He's requested everything from Early 90's Slang to Microsoft Word's "Clippy".
And now, the most awesomely cringe-worthy one of all, "I'm into Jewish Mother Stereotypes."
According to Gil, the calls are "100% real, and 100% expensive."
Full video after the jump!
We love that he even outright admits the stereotype. Because, you know, we wouldn't want it to get uncomfortable or anything.
Here's a clip our families still quote every single Christmas:
"... Ladman has such clever, well-written material and such a breezy, unassuming delivery that it would be easy to overlook just how good she is: Her act seems effortless."
Well we were already thrilled that nice Jewish (if a bit mug-happy) boy, Andy Samberg was hosting the 2009 Mtv Movie Awards. We got even more excited when chosen comedy crushes Jack Black and Michael Cera joined Andy for the promos.
Almost every single day we here at I Heart Jews get some sort of e-mail from our moms with leads for posts. So far, we have not used a single one. And of course, we're feeling a little guilty.
Inspired buy Wendy Spiro's stand-up with her mother, we've decided to let Mom in on the comedy action, in honor of Mother's Day.
We're finally listening to our Moms' advice. Here's some of our favorites of her favorites.

"You know I loved Mamma Mia. Well, now I love it even more! Who knew Abba could work with Yiddish?! They are so blond! You should put this on the blog. I love you. Call me later. xoxo Mom"
