Top 10 Jews In Space!

We've already found our Top 10 Jewish Super Heros, and nerded it up with  Jewish video games and even Jewish inventions. But we just couldn't stop ourselves. There is a final Jewish nerdy category where we feel compelled to boldly go.  There are so many that we love so dearly, but we've narrowed it down to the

TOP 10 JEWS IN SPACE !

10. Andy Samberg singing about the Space Olympics
Our Jewish comedy goofball dreamboat sings quite possibly the most ridiculous space song ever, all about the terrible organization of the Space Olympics.



9. The Beastie Boys go Intergalactic
So we're not sure if Adrock, Mike D, and MCA ever actually leave earth in this video, but we like to imagine they travel back into space with the giant robot at the end. Regardless of the video, we know that the boys know all about the final frontier, 'cause they say, "Your knees'll start shaking and your fingers pop/ Like a pinch on the neck of Mr. Spock!"



8. Dr. Zoidberg from Futurama
Futurama's company Doctor has a lot going on. He's clearly Jewish, but he's also a crustacean, making him treif (not kosher). With an inner conflict like that, it is no surprise that he is completely insane. Since he is Jewish, treif and insane, it is no surprise that we adore him.




7. Sarah Silverman awesomely half-asses it in Most Extraordinary Space Investigations
Channel 101 is known for creating comedy television with zero time, zero budget and zero interference from "the man". In the series Most Extraordinary Space Investigations, they added zero effort and zero sobriety to the mix. Using nothing (and we mean NOTHING) but their storytelling skills, Sarah Silverman and the MESI crew string together some tin-foil space comedy for the ages.



6. Martain Landau in Space 1999
If Thunderbirds, and Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey had a baby, it would be Space 1999. Landau was an awesome Jew in space from 1975–1977 as Commander John Koenig, leader of Moonbase Alpha.



5. Richard Dreyfuss in Close Encounters of the Third Kind
Dreyfuss is at his best in Steven Spielberg's classic. He's both hilarious and heartbreaking. And though he spends most of the movie simply obsessing about UFOs, but by the end of the movie (SPOILER ALERT!) he's totally a Jew in space.



4. Dr. Hans Zarkov from Flash Gordon
Our minds completely melted when we realized that (at :41) Chaim Topol, the same Topol who played Tevye in Fiddler on the Roof was one and the same as Dr. Hans Zarkov in the cheesiest movie ever, Flash Gordon. Amazing!



3. Spock
Need we say more?



2. Jeff Hoffman Took the Torah into space!
"Wherever Jews have wandered, they have taken the Torah with them," said Hoffman, a Jewish astronaut who carried the holy scrolls during the space shuttle Columbia's voyage in Feb., 1996. "Astronauts are human beings and when we travel, we take with us our culture and heritage," he said. "It is important to me to take my Jewish heritage with me as well." On other space-shuttle missions Hoffman carried , a pendant inscribed with the Jewish prayer for a safe journey, a mezuzah, Torah pointers and, of course, a dreidel.



1. The cast of "Jews in Space"
The inspiration for this whole darn list comes from the tail end of Mel Brooks' History of the World Part I. They're Jews. They're Jews In Space.

Classic Kosher Comedy Corner: 2000 Year Old Man

Mel Brooks & Carl Reiner. Two great tastes that go great together. And never were they more deliciously funny than in the classic sketch series, "The 2000 Year Old Man." Truly a masterpiece of Classic Kosher Comedy.

After some inspired riffing at a party, Brooks and Reiner took their antics to TV. Brooks had just had surgery on his foot and said as an aside, "I feel like a 2000 year old man." Reiner jumped right on the joke train, interviewing Brooks about his experience as the oldest man in the world, and they rode it all the way through five albums, an animated special and comedy history.

Listen All Of Y'all This Is SHABBATage!

Shabbat Shalom, everybody!Here's a little something to make you laugh before sundown.

We see a lot of music video parodies trying to put together this blog. When we say a lot, we mean oodles. An abundance. A Boatload. A billion. Seriously, there are a so many out there. We try to save you from the terrible ones, and only bring you the best (or the ones that are so awkward that they are awesome).

It is a delight to find the good ones, and we're over the moon when we find something totally terrific. Today is one of those days.

The crazy kids of Lazy Shabbos Productions started by doing a Lazy Sunday spoof, (we know, a parody song of a comedy song- barf) but their production values and senses of humor have evolved in the past three years, and they are kicking some serious comedy butt with their latest video. Plus, they look like they are having a whole lot of fun.

Please watch and laugh at their full-force homage to the fabulous Beastie Boys. We do. A lot!

I guess this Shabbat isn't going to have a whole lot of Shalom, because, listen all of y'all this Is SHABBATage!

Lyrics:
I can't stand it, all week I planned it
Nothin' on my plate, to satiate
I just can't daven when I'm hungry
If there ain't no food then there ain't no prayer
So don't you sit there and laugh at me
I'm gonna rage like a Maccabee
Get ready for a Hebrew barrage
I'm telling y'all its SHABBATAGE

So, So, So, get out my way when I'm wielding the Torah
On your grave I'll be dancing the hora

Oy vey, you know life's a bitch
I'll throw you out, throw back the Manischewitz

I'll pump your guts chock full of cement, when
I knock you out with a bowl full of cholent
You're gonna need a gastric lavage
Listen up it's Shabbatage

OYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

(It's 5 minutes 'til candle lighting)

Listen All Of Y'all This Is Shabbatage
These three Jews are my entourage
Gonna chew you up like a macrophage
Listen All Of Y'all This Is Shabbatage

I can't eat it, that kind of meat
It doesn't chew its cud, it wallows in the mud
Forget the ham, well spam you with junk mail
Choke on a manny and gefilte fish cocktail

Put your Beemer in the garage
Meet my homeboys Chuck and Siraz
No happy ending for your massage
Gotta blame the Shabbatage!

Get Ready For Summer Camp With A Little Paul Rudd

We heart Jews, and summer is here, so you know what that means... SUMMER CAMP!

To get us in the mood for those fun-filled, mosquito bite-covered, care-package obsessed, make-out conducive days of summer camp, we're starting you off with one of our favorite clips from the greatest ode to Summer camp (and summer camp films), Wet Hot American Summer. Not only is it brilliantly funny, totally naughty and has a great cast ( Janeane Garofalo, David Hyde Pierce, Michael Showalter, Molly Shannon, Paul Rudd, Elizabeth Banks, Michael Ian Black, Amy Poehler, and many members of The State) but it is totally Jewtastic. Not only was it written by two of The State's three Jews, David Wain and Michael Showalter, but it is full of refrences to Jewish summer camps. If you haven't seen it, and you've been to a Jewish Summer camp, Netflix it now!

Here's a bit from one of our favorite scenes, starring the Jewdorable Paul Rudd as a surly pain in the tuchas counselor and Janeane Garofalo Garafolo as his put-upon camp director.

Google Chrome Yarmulke? Not Three Random Words, An Actual Video

Google is hyping their new browser, Google Chrome, all over the place. Now, we're not exactly tech savvy supernerds, and we're not totally sure what this is all about, but we do know that they really want us to get excited about it!

They're even having a contest to see who can do the best advertising for them, challenging us regular folk to come up with new ways to use their logo.

"Imagine a bird's eye view of a parking lot with carefully arranged cars, coordinated outfits in a stadium's bleachers, a 10,000 M&M mural, etc. We are excited to see what you come up with and we'll showcase the best submissions!"

Which brings us to Chaviva, from kvetchingeditor who has created a Google Chrome yarmulke. It 'aint exactly stadium bleachers or 10,000 M&Ms, but we think it's cute nonetheless.

Stupid Inventions: Battery Powered Dreidel

We really need to kick it up in the dreidel department. Sure we've seen dreidels tap dance, and be used as a sexual euphemism on Millionaire Matchmaker but still wouldn't they be better if they spun automatically?

Probably not. That's why the battery-operated dreidel is featured on a web show called Stupid Inventions. This video is equally funny and sad. Something about the quietness of the video makes us want to give the host a hug. Something about the ending makes us think he's a jokster and will be just fine.

New iPhone Software Out- Seinfeld Doesn't Care

The much-anticipated Apple iPhone OS 3.0 update was finally released yesterday. Nerds, technophiles, and annoying people in restaurants rejoiced.

Even some of us Jewish comedy nerds were excited. I mean what could be better than accessing our Seinfeld quote app with better software?



Well, even if we are excited, we know one person who isn't. Our Beloved Jerry. He's not into fancy phones. He told Conan about it and was hilarious, as always.

Crazy Letterman Protester Is Mad Enough To Curse In Yiddish

Oy Vey. These crazy people with their protesting and their yelling. They are nuts about this David Letterman vs. Sarah Palin thing. So totally nuts.

But things start getting really crazy at :46 when one lady calls Letterman a "schmuck".

Dear Miss Meshugene Yellowblazer,
Please stop ranting on camera. Please don't make our people look bad by being completely insane and then cursing in Yiddish. Also, the language is called "Yiddish", not "Jewish".
Sincerely,
I Heart Jews

Stews For The Jews: Top 5 Cholent Videos

When it comes to Jewish food, we're big fans. From matzah to deli delights, we're totally on board. But recently we've been exploring a new kind of kosher food: cholent.

Honestly, we hadn't really heard of cholent growing up, but apparently, it's as common as bagels in some Jewish communities. Hey, Wikepidia, what's the scoop on the Jew stew?

Well, now that we know more about it, we see it EVERYWHERE! Since we've got cholent on the brains (or for brains, depending on who you ask), we'll give you our

TOP 5 CHOLENT VIDEOS!

Cholent (Yiddish: טשאָלנט, tsholnt or tshoolnt) or hamin (Hebrew: חמין‎; also chamin) is a traditional Jewish stew simmered overnight, for 12 hours or more, and eaten for lunch on the Sabbath. Cholent was developed over the centuries to conform with Jewish religious laws that prohibit cooking on the Sabbath. The pot is brought to boil on Friday before candlelighting, and kept on a blech or hotplate, or placed in a slow oven or electric slow cooker until the following day.

5. Kids Choir Cholent Song
We love the use of "cholent" as do-wop back up vocals. Plus they are adorable!Videos a tad long, but the cholent part is right at the very beginning!



4. Jake's Cholent Promo
This guy is trying to be funny, but also is accidentally funny. Best combo possible.



3. High School Musical Cholent
HSM meets cholent. Need we say more?



2. Because I Got Cholent
To the tune of "Because I Got High". Some of those pictures of cholent would require us getting high to look appetizing.



1. Yakov Makes Cholent
Totally adorable kid makes totally gross-looking cholent. With a giant, scary knife.

Larry David Begrudgingly Interviewed By Conan

We love Larry David. We loved him before, and we love him even more after last night's appearance on Conan! He was on to begrudgingly promote his new Woody Allen film, Whatever Works, which opens this weekend. It started as a visit to plug the movie, but we got so much more. Cranky and hilarious as always, both Larry and Conan were in top form.

Our favorite moment may have been (2:42) when Larry channeled some classic Catskills style. He reminded us for the brilliant Henny Youngman when quipped,

"I started to eat very healthy foods, and she just hated that... I suspect she wanted me to die."

Bruno Bares It All!

Ok! We know we're going crazy with the Jewdity, these days, but we can't help it! It's everywhere! Last week we had Israeli super-babe Bar Rafaeli on the cover of Esquire wearing nothing but Stephen King's words. Yesterday we posted Jeremy Piven all shirtless and sweaty. Today we've got another treat for you. Sascha Baron Cohen wearing nothing but a goofy look.

Our favorite Jewish chameleon/comedian/rabble-rouser graces the cover of GQ this month without a stitch of clothing, but still manages to be in character as Bruno, who's tuchus we all saw on the MTV Movie Awards, and who's the over-the-top fashion reporter from Austria, whose movie premiers July 10th.

According to the GQ, Bruno is the first subject to appear fully naked on the cover. Jennifer Aniston, wearing only a necktie in January, came very, very close.

Honestly, we find this far less freaky than his Marie Claire UK photo shoot in the golden thong. Yipes!

Save A Seat Next To The Rabbi

Everybody wants to sit next to the Rabbi. I mean who wouldn't want to? But the guy in this short clip will stop at nothing to save his seat. Ok, well, maybe not "stop at nothing", but he is pretty determined.

They are all trying to look wise and calm, but look carefully, and you can see these Jewish elders are totally annoyed at the dude who just plops his hat down next to the head Rabbi to claim his spot. Just like girlfriends at a bar, it just takes one look between friends to tell each other, "Did you see what that guy just did? What a schmuck!"

Maybe some synagogue newsletter bloopers would cheer them up. Maybe not. That guy had some chutzpah!

So check out these videos, and then go vote! You can't complain about the results if you don't vote.

Jeremy Piven Gives Bar Refaeli a Run For Her Money

The web is still buzzing over the July issue of Esquire featuring a nude Bar Refaeli covered in text from a Stephen King novel , but the story's not over! Lemondrop.com has raised the Bar (pun intended) with "Naked Novels- Dudes We'd Like To Write On"

Writing chick lit on hot guys' naked bodies is ridiculous- and we hope it becomes a huge trend. Lemondrop features quite a few - Are You There God, It's Me, Margret on David Beckham , Twilight on Daniel Radcliffe and Pride and Prejudice on Ashton Kutcher.

Of course, our favorite is a masterpiece of literary Jewdity: Jeremy Piven sporting Bridget Jones' Diary. Oh, to be that glass of Manischewitz in his sweaty hand.

Ring Pop Goes Kosher

Kosher kids rejoice ! Now everyone can enjoy the awkwardness of sucking candy off of your finger! Rabbis of the Orthodox Union have officially certified ring pops as kosher. Production of the new and approved Ring Pop, with brand new packaging bearing the OU symbol, begins this month with the candy shipping to retailers nationwide in August.

Ari Weinstock, Director of Marketing at Bazooka Candy Brands, said,

“Working with the Orthodox Union, the top organization for kosher certification in the world, we can now bring Ring Pop to an entirely new, and discerning, consumer base that has never before been able to enjoy our products.”

Really? If they are such a "discerning consumer base," do you think their first choice would be slobbering on their hand?

Forget Google. Forget Jewgle. Try Koogle.

We've covered kosher food, kosher drinks, and even kosher phone cards. Now we bring you the kosher search engine.

Wait, didn't we already post about Jewgle? Yep. But there's another one! And this time, they're super serious about it.

Koogle, named after the delicious kosher noodle treat, allows Orthodox Jews to surf the web, while avoiding sexually explicit material that devout Jews are barred from viewing.

Yossi Altman, Koogle's site manager, says "Nothing can be posted on the Jewish Sabbath, when religious law bans all types of work and business. If you try to buy something on the Sabbath, it gets stuck and won't let you."

Koogle's links to Israeli news and shopping sites also filter out items most ultra-Orthodox Israelis are forbidden by rabbis to have in their homes, such a television sets.

"The site omits religiously objectionable material, such as most photographs of women which Orthodox rabbis view as immodest," Altman said.

Most photographs of women? Oy Vey.

Harold Ramis Talks Faith, Funny, And Year One

This Friday, the next project from Awesome Writer/Jew/Ghostbuster Harold Ramis opens in theaters all over the country. Year One stars I Heart Jews favorites Jack Black and Michael Cera as ancient villagers that travel on an epic adventure through early history.

In an interview with AMC, Ramis talks about religion, comedy and his inspiration for his new film.

"I don't mean to offend any Christian person, I only mean to offend Jewish people, who I trust completely because I'm Jewish. I've always been interested in comedy that juxtaposes contemporary sensibility in the ancient world. After 9/11 I started thinking about the origins of fundamentalism and orthodoxy. People were arguing about creationism and was the world created in six days or not. I won't say it's an absurd belief, but the arguments are absurd, it seems to me. So I thought, "Let's look at Genesis, the seminal book of Western civilization."

Well, between this interview, the trailer, and the fact that Egon made it, We'll defiantly be checking it out!

Mazel Tov Monday : Kimberlee's Spectacular Bat Mitzvah Dance

Well, once again, it is time for Mazel Tov Monday! Each and every Monday, to start your week of right, we here at I Heart Jews bring you a video treat from the kitschy, awkward, and delightful world of Bar (and Bat) Mitzvahs.

Today's video comes from author, teacher and New Jersey native Kimberlee Auerbach. Her intro really says it all:

My parents threw me a huge Bat Mitzvah party at Crestmont Country Club in There was caviar. A harpist. My mother sang a sexy French song. My brother sang Lionel Richie's "Hello." And I danced to "Freeway Of Love" by Aretha Franklin. My mother and brother had people riveted, in tears. Not me... My dancing sucks. I clap off beat. The only thing redeeming about my act are my pink leg warmers.

But even more enthralling than Kimberlee's dance is the reaction of her audience at the end of the video. Those kids are so bored, they are practically comatose.

Mazel Tov, Kimberlee!

West Orange, New Jersey. 1985.
Kimberlee's Bat Mitzvah.

Andrew Sisters Honored By Two Weird Girls

The Andrew Sisters were honored this week by being inducted into the National Recording Registry of works of historical and cultural significance. The specific recording was "Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen” a Yiddish song that became wildly popular, launched the Andrew Sisters' careers and made Maxene, Patty and LaVerne the first female vocal group to be awarded a Gold Record.

"Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen” was honored along side the likes of Etta James' "At Last," Dylan Thomas' "A Child's Christmas in Wales," and, in other Jew news, "2000 Years with Carl Reiner and Mel Brooks."

The Andrew Sisters were also honored by two weird girls in a bedroom, covering the Andrew Sisters harmony perfection by using an egg shaker and a rainbow melodica. They are The Heartbreaking Lyrics. They are awesome.

Here's the fabulous original!

Puff The Kosher Dragon: Chipmunk Style

In our never ending quest to find the best in Jewish comedy on the internet, sometimes we stumble instead upon the weirdest Jewish comedy on the internet. Puff The Kosher Dragon is one of those.

We're not sure which is the most disturbing part of this video. Is it the relentless, migraine-inducing chipmunk voice effect? The earnest passion in Adam Leventhal's delivery? Or is it the sudden violence that occurs in the verse starting at 1:10, when Puff kills his enemies?

We should note that in many other versions of Puff The Kosher Dragon that we could find, that verse does not exist. Instead, many versions focus on Puff keeping kosher. The Golem-like enemy smiting section is replaced by,

Then one day it happened,
Puff went and ate some pork,
so good Rabbi Friedman
took away that dragon's fork.

He told that naughty Puff
that dragons don't each such meat
that come from little piggies
with their dirty little feet.

Regardless, this video is very odd. And now the song is stuck in our heads. Great.

Funny People's Aubrey Plaza Does Sarah Silverman

Super cutie Aubrey Plaza from NBC's Parks and Recreation and Judd Apatow's upcomingFunny People is quite familiar with the web comedy world, having starred in the hilarious The Jeannie Tate Show (directed by Maggie Carey, wife of SNL’s Bill Hader) and Kieth Powell Directs A Play (with 30 Rock's Keith Powel). So it's no surprise that Plaza smartly turned a snippet of her Saturday Night Live audition tape and turned it into potential viral gold.

At UCB in NYC she does a spot on Sarah Silverman, not only in voice and movement, but her nonsensical shock-humor jokes are a hilarious homage as well.

We know she didn't make SNL this year, but great things are to come from Aubrey Plaza. Watch out.

Scam Artist Throws A Bar Mitzvah Behind Bars

Information has just been released regarding a very unusual celebration. On December 30th a Bar Mitzvah was held at the lower Manhattan lockdown known as "The Tombs." Festive, no?

In 1989 Tuvia Stern, was accused along with his brother Ephraim of stealing $1.7 million through two scams including a bogus deal to lease back office equipment and a check-kiting scheme targeting Morgan Guaranty Trust. While out on $250,000 bail, Tuvia Stern fled to Brazil with his wife and five children.
Stern was detained in 2006 while trying to enter England and was returned to the United States last year.Stern, 47, pleaded guilty earlier this year to bail jumping and to grand larceny from the 1989 indictment; he was sent to Woodbourne state prison in the Hudson Valley in April. There was only one problem- his son hadn't had his Bar Mitzvah yet!

What's a scam artist to do? The answer seemed clear to Stern: use taxpayers' money so that the state employees can help throw a Bar Mitzvah and reception in the prison gym.

The bar mitzvah took place Dec. 30 in the gym at The Tombs. About 60 guests attended, and Stern was allowed to use his own kosher caterer. Stern also was permitted to swap his jail garb for more festive clothing, and guests kept their cell phones, which normally are not allowed in city jails. A popular Orthodox singer, Yaakov Shwekey, performed.

The party was so successful that Stern held a small engagement party for his daughter at the same venue four months later.

Oy Vey.

Rabbi Leib Glanz, the chaplain who arranged the bar mitzvah, was suspended for two weeks, and four other staff members lost two weeks of vacation each. New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg was fuming Thursday after learning of this nonsense and said the Bar Mitzvah, " should not have happened. "

George Bluth would be proud.

Arrested Development's "Caged Wisdom" Gets Locked Up In The Jewish Comedy Hall Of Fame

Between Phil Spector's meshugene yarmukle demands from jail and scam artist Tuvia Stern throwing a Bar Mitzvah for his son in the lower Manhattan lockdown known as "The Tombs", we just can't help but think about Arrested Development. More specifically, the the episodes where George Bluth(played by the amazing Jeffrey Tambor) has a religious epiphany while in prison. He attempts to become Jewish, and then releases a set of motivational videos called "Caged Wisdom". Absolutely hilarious.

We thought we'd include all the best of clips this story line, just for you, dear readers. Enjoy!

George has an epiphany.

George gives Buster his blessing.

Larry David And Woody Allen Dish Dirt On The Seinfeld Reunion And New Movie

America's favorite neurotic Jewish men (Larry David & Woody Allen) are back, this time for a screening of Whatever Works, their new film.

There are a few interesting tidbits from this Entertainment Tonight clip. First of all, Larry David talks about the Seinfeld reunion that was taped for the upcoming season of Curb Your Enthusiasm . Any new dirt on Seinfeld is good dirt for us!

Second of all, why is almost everybody who is interviewed chewing gum? Even Joy Behar seems to be chomping on a piece of minty goodness. It is really weird.

Freaky Phil Spector Without Wig, Without Yarmulke

Now that Phil Spector's mug shot has been released, we can see why he wanted to go Orthodox and wear a giant kippah! Holy Smokes! Freaky!



What does he look like? Besides the sacriest celebrity Jew since Leona Helmsley? Just as we were pondering this question, Perez Hilton posted the answer. Phil Spector may have a new career ahead of him. All he has to do is memorize the Rocky Horror Picture Show, and he can perform as Riff Raff! Since he'll be in jail for at least 15 years, he has plenty of time to watch and learn. What else is he going to do? He may as well do the Time Warp. It's just a jump to the left...

A Cappella Andy Samberg (Feat. A Capella T-Pain)

We're all well aware of Andy Samberg's lovable dorkiness . We also know he can rock pretty much any song genre he (and his partners, Jorma Taccone and Akiva Schaffer) attempt.

But can he get even more dorky and awesome at the same time? Yep.

Check out this video from UC Santa Cruz (Akiva's alma mater) A Capella group, Acquire. They Cover "I'm On A Boat", and they go full out.

NSFW language, by the way.

Natasha Leggero and Nadine Rajabi Explore The Seedy Side Of Bar Mitzvahs

We've seen some crazy, creepy Bar Mitzvah videos in our time. Today we present a not-so-serious look at some Bar Mitzvah freakyness that we had no idea existed!

Super snobby and sassy, stand-up comics Natasha Leggero and Nadine Rajabi host the web-series The Skinny: Fat Free News. In their second episode, the ladies do some serious journalism, covering the darker side of Bar Mitzvahs following a rumored trend in New Jersey of sex acts under the tables at Bar Mitzvah receptions. Eeew.

Baby Shay Finds His Schmeckle

Schmeckle may be one of our favorite Yiddish words. It isn't has harsh as schmuck, but it still has that great Yiddish sound to it.

In this video, multi-lingual Baby Shay has found his schmeckle, and his parents are delighted. So delighted, in fact, that his dad keeps asking him to find it again. Over and over and over again. Until Shay smacks his head on the mirror. It would be disturbing if it wasn't so adorable.

Awkward Shock Jocks' Intern Gives "Kosher" Sports Report

You know that here at I Heart Jews we love anything awkward.

Shock Jock team Opie & Anthony put their poor awkward intern, "B.D. Dave" up to reading a sports report chock-full of ham-fisted (pun intended) Jewish references and shoehorned in Yiddish. We're not sure there would be anything funny about this clip on the radio, but seeing how cute and scared "B.D. Dave" is, just makes us want to reach through the screen and give him a hug.

Apparently, being awkward and nebbish has rocketed "B.D." to radio intern stardom, but let's remember, though there's lots of B.D. Daves out there, there is also the Sandy Koufaxs, the Shawn Greens, and the Ryan Brauns.

How Jewish Is Your Summer Camp?

In College Humor's running series called “The Graphic Truth,” they use charts and graphs for comedic purposes, and make us giggle all the time.

This week, they hit a home run with HOW JEWISH YOUR SUMMER CAMP IS


Mixed Multitude's Jeremy Moses may think there are a few missing categories (Grateful Dead appreciation, Rick Recht performances) but we feel like the chart hits the universal truths.

When Harry Met Star Wars- Infamous Deli Scene Gets Even More Uncomfortable

The Katz's Deli orgasm scene from When Harry Met Sally is an absolute classic. It's got everything: kosher food, sex, and director Rob Riner's mother delivering the perfect punchline.

We thought it couldn't get better. We thought Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan's performances were perfection. Until now.

We didn't even know it was missing something. We never realized how great the scene would be if Meg Ryan was a wookie. That's right a wookie. As in Chewbacca. From Star Wars.

Here's the original scene, just for good measure.

Penny Marshall Doesn't Really Understand The Opening Of Laverne And Shirley

Oh, Yiddish.

We know Penny Marshall isn't Jewish, but still, after 26 years we'd think she would have found out the meaning of

"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 Schlemiel! Schlimazel! Hasenpfeffer Incorporated!"

It took us about 30 seconds on the ol' Wikepedia.

schlemiel – an inept clumsy person; a bungler; a dolt
schlimazel : a chronically unlucky person
hasenpfeffer: a traditional German stew made from marinated rabbit or hare.

A shlemiel is the one who spills the hasenpfeffer, whereas the shlamazel is the one who gets spilled on.

But Penny has no idea. That's Ok. She still has a story to go with it.

The Kosher Cowboy Rides Again

Over the past few moths, we've brought you many Jewish-themed novelty songs. Some of them are slick, and some are supremely uncomfortable. Today's selection may take the cake.

Behold: THE KOSHER COWBOY

We're almost hesitant to do too much research on The Kosher Cowboy because so much of his mystique is in the lack of information. Is he serious? Is he a comedian? Is he a math teacher?

As far as we can tell, according to his MySpace page, his name is Louis Farbstein, and music is his passion. He's been to Rock N' Roll fantasy camp (where he won Battle of the Bands), he loves his wife, and occasionally dresses up as various rock icons.

Enjoy these amazing videos from a new novelty-song superstar: The Kosher Cowboy.

Old Jokes Making Old Folks Laugh- Adorable

Yet another fantastic and hilarious YouTube video starting your grandparents!

If you like Old Jews Telling Jokes You'll love the OGs Of Boyle Heights in Old Jews Listening To Jokes!

Barbara and Harry, married for 73 years, are visited by their granddaughter, (who happens to be the Ukulady) and she reads them a list of Henny Youngman jokes and records their responses. The results are completely heartwarming.

The video's creator says it best:

"The OGs love clowning around, but let's be honest: sometimes it's hard to remember how a joke goes. So rather than pestering them to tell us their favorite jokes, in this edition of The OGs blog we're bringing the jokes to them. Watch their faces as they register these vintage Henny Youngman gags that they first enjoyed in the Eisenhower era. Finally, we understand why PopPop insists on holding Barbara's hand whenever they leave the house!"

Star Of David Power: Shofar Hero Rocks

Let's say you're at work, and you really want to screw around on the internet instead of being productive, but you want to keep in touch with your Jewishness. Or maybe your Rabbi has been getting on your case for playing too much Rock Band and not learning your Torah portion. Or, let's say, you really need to call your people to the temple, but your ram's horn blowing skills are weak at best. Fear not, my procrastinating children of Israel!

Marketing group e-delogic has brought us the greatest online time waster ever: SHOFAR HERO. Go. Play. But be warned: this game is as addictive as apples and honey.

Eugene Mirman Gives Awesome Graduation Speech

Eugene Mirman is part of the alt-comedy elite, performing with Patton Oswalt, Brian Posehn and Maria Bamford on the Comedians of Comedy tour, and opening for bands like Modest Mouse, Yo La Tengo, Gogol Bordello and Cake. He's performed on bills with Stella, and featured kosher comic Andy Kindler. He's got the rock n' roll comedy street cred. We are pretty sure he's Jewish, and 100% sure he's a genius.

When he was asked to give the commencement speech this year at his alma mater, Lexington High School, Mirman was shocked, and accused the administration of making a "terrible mistake," but he was wrong. Lexington High School made the perfect choice, because this may go down as one of the best comic graduation speeches ever.

he really shouldn't have been surprised. Mirman has been doling out useful information for youngsters for quite some time.



We'll agree with Mr. Mirman. We think he's the "the world's foremost Eugene-named entertainer."

WHAT? Adam Lambert is GAY?!?!

You know how much we we heart our singing Jewlebrity Adam Lambert. Almost as much as Paisley, the Lambert-loving baby. We were devastated when he lost American Idol. But today's "revelation" that Lambert is indeed gay makes us happy again.

If he had won American Idol, who knows how long it would have taken for Adam to come out, or if he'd even get to do it himself. He might have just become nasty tabloid fodder like the decidedly less awesome but totally just as gay Clay Aiken.

“I don’t think it should be a surprise for anyone to hear that I’m gay,” Lambet says in the latest issue of Rolling Stone. This is why we love him. He nonchalantly steps out of the closet, no big surprise, no big deal. Just gay.

“I’m proud of my sexuality,” Lambert adds. “I embrace it. It’s just another part of me.” I'm sure there are plenty of emo-glam loving fellas out there who are proud and ready to embrace lots of parts of you, Adam. Sing on. We'll be listening.

Role Models' Bobb'e J. Thompson Wants A "Bro Mitzvah"

You know how we can never get enough Bar Mitzvah rap.

Bobb'e J. Thompson is a force of nature. An adorable, hilarious, precocious force of nature. If you haven't seen him in 30 Rock (as Tracy Jordan's son), Role Models (steals every scene) or in Human Giant's Shutterbugs (see below) then, friends, you are about to be delighted.

With a role in Land of The Lost and his own show getting the green light from Cartoon Network, this isn't the last we're going to hear from Bobb'e J.

For his 13th birthday, Bobb'e J. wants to have a Bar Mitzvah. Or, more precisely, a "Bro Mitzvah". And though his motivations are toeing that stereotype line (reducing a Bar Mitzvah to a big celebration of money) he's hilarious as always.

If you haven't seen it, here's Bobb'e J.'s brilliant turn in the series Shutterbugs(he comes in at 1:08).

Madonna Is Headed For Israel

It's official! Madonna is finishing up her Sticky & Sweet tour at Tel Aviv’s Yehoshua Gardens on September 1st.

Whether or not she's involved with Jesus, she's decided to finish Sticky & Sweet in the land of Milk & Honey. This will be her first performance in Israel since 1993, and nobody is quite sure yet if her new show will cause her usual controversy (her show features montages of famous folks, including Hitler) or just excitement that an A-List concert is making an official tour stop in the political hotbed.

Oh, Madge.

Reb Moshe Asks The Tough Questions

Classic Kosher Comedy Corner: Andy Kindler

Couch potatoes might recognize Andy Kindler from The Daily Show, The Late Show with David Letterman or from Everybody Loves Raymond where he played a sports writer named (of course) "Andy". Perhaps you recognize his voice from Home Movies or Dr. Katz.

Comedy nerds know Kindler from other sources. His annual "State of The Comedy Industry" address at the Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal notoriously roasts the comedy industry itself. He is a comic who speaks his mind, even in the middle of his set, critiquing other comedians (Dane Cook (3:10)) and turning on himself mid-joke.

He's one of a kind, blending his raw honesty with a classic Jewish comedy feel, all amped up at a breakneck pace.

He's Catskills on speed.

Groucho Marx Gets His Own Rap

This video is the creation of graphic designer and animator Sean Sanczel, who, in case you can't tell, is not a professional rapper. But he clearly loves Groucho, and so do we.

Mazel Tov Monday : Wendy's Eye-Rolling Bat Mitzvah

Happy Monday! For this week's Bar Mitzvah video treat, we bring you a vintage clip from writer/comedian Wendy Spiro. Wendy was a contributor for the amazing book, Bar Mitzvah Disco, so it is no surprise that the clip she posted of her own Bat Mitzvah is an absolute delight.

Her facial expressions are just so totally 13-years-old. Even though her amazingly moustache Grandfather is sweeter than kugel, Wendy still manages to roll her eyes and look totally humiliated as he tells her how much he loves her.

We've all been there, Wendy. Maybe without the insane moustache, but we've all been there. Mazel Tov.

We heart Wendy's Grandpa, and we heart Wendy's Eye-Rolling Bat Mitzvah.

Shabbat Shalom! A Talking Wine Bottle!

Holy Moly. You really need to watch this video right now.

Chabad.org doesn't let us embed, so let us break it down for you.

Shira really likes wine.

She wants to drink it every day. She has a lot of questions about it. So the talking wine bottle ("Wow! A talking wine bottle!") comes to tell her about - the dangers of underage drinking?

Nope.

Wine bottle is there to tell Shira how wine makes you "happy" and "feel special."



So, Shira likes wine even more now! Mr. Wine Bottle really hits it home when he helps Shira compare Kosher grapes to "something very precious" that she has and "she won't let anyone touch. "

Oh, dear. I think maybe Mr. Wine Bottle has had a little too much of himself this Shabbat.

Seriously. You really need to watch this video.



Note: We have a theory. I'm pretty sure The Talking Wine Bottle was directed by the same genius behind the infamous songsmith commercial.

The Top 5 Videos Of The 4 Questions

Why is this list different from all other lists?

Anyone who's been to a Seder, the Passover feast, knows the grand tradition of having the youngest guest sing The Four Questions, or Ma Nishtana. This, of course leads to another, newer tradition: posting embarrassing videos of your children on the Internet.

There are so so so so so many videos that proud parents have posted, we thought we'd do the world a favor and narrow it down to the

The Top 5 Videos Of The 4 Questions

5. Baby's Funky Remix 4 Questions
This 23 month old baby is not only smart, but super funky! We can see his version of the classic Ma Nishtana becoming a hit at all the hottest dance clubs. He's pretty good at playing the wooden spoons, too. His parents are awesome.


4. The Silvermans' Chaotic 4 Questions
We have mixed feelings about this one. We love the fact that the kids can just sing sort of what they think sounds right because everything is so chaotic (check out the kid on the left around :14) that nobody will notice . We love Grandpa trying to rally everybody "This is the best part!" (:20) But the ladies not stopping their chit-chat, and giving a horseradish face when the camera man tries to get them to pay attention ("Enough."), we want to cry.



3. Sydney's Divalicious 4 Questions (Plus Dayeinu!)
Not only does Sydney have a rocking alternative tune for her 4 Questions, she has some badass dance moves to go with it (:14). She even has a backup singer, and like any diva, when she loses steam on one song, she just jams right along with another.


2. Joel's Drunk Karaoke 4 Questions
We cant decide what we love most about Joel's performance. Is it the pajamas? His adorable accent? Is it around :31 when he gets pretty tangled up in the song and starts repeating himself more than he should? We think the best part may be the microphone, which makes Joel appear to be doing some sort of drunk pajamas karaoke Seder.


1. Spencer's Super Annoyed 4 Questions
Spencer is singing his heart out, but he sure doesn't look happy about it. If we didn't know what Ma Nishtana was about, we'd think that Spencer was singing about all the presents he didn't get last Hanukkah. Not even forgetting the words (1:43) will stop is hostility. By the time we get to 2:23, Spencer looks downright pissed!

Happy Anniversary, Bubbe ... Now Feed Us!

Happy Anniversary to Producer Avrom Honig, , and Bayla “Bubbe” Sher, star of Feed Me Bubbe, one of the web's most beloved and most delicious cooking shows.

Three years ago, Honig was looking for something different for his demo real, and thought maybe a podast would be a good way to go about it. With his father's encouragement, Honig recruited his 80-something-year-old grandmother to star in her very own cooking show. The podcast went viral, and the rest is adorable, kosher history.

According to their website, each episode contains:

1. An easy to understand recipe.

2. A Yiddish Word of the Day.

3. The feeling of going to your grandmother's.

Now Bubbe's got her sights set on fame beyond the web. She wants Jimmy Fallon's attention. She wonders if she should make her Jelly Jammies for him.





Once you've seen all the episodes, go buy yourself a Feed Me Bubbe t-shirt, or download a Bubbe ringtone.

Feed Me Bubbe episodes are also close-captioned for the hearing-impaired at ProjectReadOn.com.

These Religious Jewish Guys Really Hate HDTV

In this HDTV commercial that some love and others really despise, a throng of religious Jewish men sing and dance about their fears that the picture quality on Yes HDTV is so clear that it is a sin.

Here's what they are singing:

Be warned holy land
of the hi definition
go out and erase this "toeivah" (sin)

Oy Vey, the "toeivah" is here
He said Oy Vey
now the detail's so clear
YES brought HD
Groise Tate (Father in heaven) please help
It's a "broch" this HD on YES


Gevald it's Sedom and Gemorah
HDTV it's against the torah
HDTV oy voi voi voi
Now the shikses look well
you will all go to hell
Or in Hebrew Yishmor HoKel (g-d save us)

Cause the HD is now on YES

The commercial has caused a great deal of controversy in Israel where it originally aired. Though we certainly don't like to see people get offended, the day that a cable TV commercial is the biggest controversy in Israel will be a great day indeed.

Woody Allen And Larry David: Together at Last (Yay?)

We seriously can't tell if Woody Allen's new movie Whatever Works will be any good at all. We have our hopes up, as we love Larry David and often love Woody Allen, but can't help but feel like the trailer is a little lackluster. We'll reserve judgement, though.

The official website says that the film is about

An eccentric New Yorker played by Larry David abandons his upper class life to lead a more Bohemian existence"

but we think the synopsis should simply read,

"Woody Allen + Larry David = Voltron Of Comedy Neurosis !"

More Mayim! Blossom Does Chelsea Lately And Looks Amazing

We already loved Mayim Bialik before all this What Not To Wear craziness, but we can't help it- we love her even more now that she's lookin' fierce and confident! Besides her new fashion sense, the best thing to come out of the Mayim makeover has got to be her appearance on Chelsea Lately with host and fellow Jew Chelsea Handler.

Kudos to Chelsea for not shying away from their shared religion, but acknowledging their differences, too. Kudos to Mayim for being awesome in the face of Chelsea's extreme sassitude.

Rabbi Spiderman Sings a Song That Will Make You Feel High

WHAT IS GOING ON IN THIS VIDEO?!?!?!?!?!?!?! We have no idea. Our minds have been blown.

Here is what we do know:
We know that it is an alphabet song. We're pretty sure it is in Yiddish. We know that there is drinking, a giant talking dog, a pilot in a bathrobe, a Scottish Jewish man and one regular guy. Oh yeah, and Rabbi Spiderman.

We feel like we're high. We have watched it approximately 1,000 times in a row this morning.

So awesome.

The Judd Apatow Crew Rides Again- Naked!

Woah! The Judd Apatow golden boys riding naked through a meadow on a spring afternoon! Did artist Daniel Park peek into our dreams?

It is interesting to note that despite people worrying about the fate of Jewish American comedy, almost every one of those naked bike riders is Jewish (the hilarious Bill Hader being the exception) and each one is a very current comedy force. Sure, the new Jew crew is scruffier, dopier and more stoned (dopier) than the likes of Woody Allen, Rodney Dangerfield or even Jerry Seinfeld. But they are hilarious, lovable and Jewish all the same. Plus, they travel in packs. Watch out.

This Baby REALLY Loves Adam Lambert

It has been a few weeks, but we're still super sad about Adam Lambert losing American Idol. However, we have found something to cheer us up - a video clip of a Lambert super-fan that is so adorable we can barely stand it.

Little baby Paisley loves Adam Lambert. A lot. She will not be ok, until she gets to see a clip of him singing on her mom's iPhone. "A-DUM! A-DUM! A-DUM!" Her devotion actually puts her into a kind of Adam Lambert trance. Which is kind of how we look when we watch him. So we can relate.

She's too young to feel the sting of our first possibly gay and definitely Jewish idol coming in second place, and her insane Lambert love helps us dull the pain a little. Just a little.

Rodney Dangerfield vs. Shakespeare - Methinks I Receiveth No Respect!

You already know that we heart Rodney Dangerfield. But did you know, dear readers, that we are also super fancy and love the classics like Shakespeare? Well, we do.

So you can imagine our delight when we discovered this amazing mashup video, which casts our beloved Rodney in a role he was born to play : Polonious, from Shakespeare's Hamlet. It is hilarious. We're depressed that we'll never actually get to see Dangerfield doing Shakespeare, but we'll settle for this brilliant cut-and-paste job.

Polonius and Rodney - neither one got any repsect, and they both turned kvetching into an art form!

Oy vey. It turns out, the first Jewish American Girl doll, Rebecca Rubin, shares a name with a wanted "armed and dangerous" criminal on the run from the FBI. Oops.

Everyone is going crazy about it.

We know what you're thinking. "It is so confusing! They are both named Rebecca Rubin! How can you tell one from the other?!?!? What If I meant to buy my daughter a $114 doll, but I accidentally buy her an eco-terrorist?"

We'll get more clips from the show up when they're online, but we'll say now that Mayim did an great job of having a sense of humor, adventure and sassyness in her approach to the whole thing, while still staying true to herslef.

Mayim told People

" I’m a Jewish woman who’s made the decision to wear skirts, so I wear mostly skirts past the knee. I don’t like to go sleeveless – they had me in a sleeveless dress as one of the outfits on What Not to Wear, and I said on air, “I’m really not comfortable showing this much skin.” So it’s really just a preference. They were willing to be flexible – if they showed me a mannequin wearing pants, they said I could also swap them for a skirt."

Here's a sneak peak at her episode:



No matter what she wears, we'll always vote that Mayim's best outfit ever was this little number: pink sequins and a feather boa - Bette Midler style! We heart you, Mayim Bialik!

Andy Samberg Knows That Cool Guys Don't Look At Explosions

Jewdorable comedy force Andy Samberg did it again last night hosting the MTV Movie Awards. In a slightly Bruce Springsteenesque song, Andy lets us in on an awesome movie secret to get us pumped for the awards.

The music video stars Andy Samberg (of course), Will Ferrell and, best of all, J.J. Abrams (keyboard solo!).

The Boss Is Not Jewish, But He Can Totally Hora

Even though he has a totally Jewish name, and hangs with Max Weinberg, Bruce Springsteen is not Jewish. Please try to remember this as you skip forward 2 minutes and 14 seconds into this concert footage from The Boss' latest Washington DC concert.

Amongst various audience-created sign song requests like "Blinded By The Light", Bruce finds a real treasure - Hava Nagila. Bruce and the band don't just honor the request, he does a mean little solo grapevine Hora to accompany it. Springsteen must have been to some Bar Mitzvahs in his day. Awesome.

John Stewart To Larry King: "You Are A Degenerate!"

John Stewart and Larry King are absolutely delightful in this Daily Show clip. Two fast-talking Jewish guys in a session that is 50% interview about King's new book, My Remarkable Journey, and 50% roast. So sharp and funny and quick that it ends with Larry fake-punching John as they go to break.

Our favorite part is King defending himself when Stewart calls him a "degenerate."

Mazel Tov Monday : Erik's Dramatic Bar Mitzvah Trailer

Happy Monday, everybody! It is time for our weekly look at the best, weirdest, cheesiest, Bar Mitzvah videos the web has to offer!


Today's selection comes from Greg Abramson & Erik Dranoff , who took some old footage from Erik's Bar Mitzvah and made an astounding discovery. A discovery that may change the world of hilarious Bar Mitzvah videos forever. Everything is funnier in slow motion with intense music and sound effects.

Sometime in the early 90's.
Erik's Dramatic Bar Mitzvah Trailer.

Now, we don't want to discount the amazing original source material that they used. Even without the trailer re-cut we would have adored this video. Grandma being escorted by the bedazzled band (:58), Chippendales kid (1:08) and of course, Grandpa falling off the chair (1:31) are all truly terrific moments. If it had simply been raw footage from an early 90s Bar Mitzvah, dayenu . But we got so much more.

Mazel Tov to Erik on his Bar Mitzvah. Mazel Tov to Erik and Greg on this awesome video.
