Thanks, Ben, I agree. Just because you put the names of a bunch of
comics on a list doesn't mean they're funny. A lot of Greeks own
restaurants. Does that mean Greeks are great cooks? A lot of
'dot-heads' own motels. Does that mean they're great architects or
interior designers? What about people who make up lists? What are
they good at?

They're funny, because they're funny, not because they're Jewish.

GOY & GOYER - the blind leading the blind!ehehee Unless you want to be
included with a well-known anti-Semite (Ben Cramer), or fly in the face
of reason, very few self-assured & knowing individuals would agree with
your sentiments. They're not just a bunch of comics, they're just some
of the greatest names in comedic history. All from a religion that
begins by comprising a measly 1/4 of 1% of the world's population.
Names that have influenced generation after generation of comedians -
both Gentile & Jewish. Owning motels & restaurants does not change
history. If you sincerely believe they are not funny, I would hate to
hear who you consider to be funny?! LOL! Let me guess: Owen & Luke
Wilson?eehehe DOH! While you work on your poor analogies, may I suggest
that you read, "The Haunted Smile: The Story of Jewish Comedians in
America" by Lawrence J. Epstein. This way you may spare yourself any
further embarrassment. -D, NYC "In New York, even if you're Catholic,

great mysteries that has always puzzled me is how Jews, who account for
such a tiny fraction of the world's population, have been able to
achieve so much and excel in so many different fields - science, music,
medicine, literature, arts, business and more. If you listed the most
influential people of the last hundred years, three at the top of the
list would be Einstein, Freud and Marx; all were Jews. Many more belong
on the list, yet Jews comprise at most less than 3 percent of the
United States population. They are an amazing people. Imagine the
persecution they endured over the centuries: pogroms,
temple burnings, Cossack raids, uprootings of families, their dispersal
to the winds and the Holocaust. After the Diaspora, they could not own
land or worship in much of the world; they were prohibited from voting
and were told where to live. Yet their children survived and Jews
became by far the most accomplished people per capita that the world
has ever produced" - MARLON BRANDO (excerpt from "SONGS MY MOTHER

Darrint68, the length of your post leads me to believe that you
are desperately trying to convince yourself of something. And one more
thing, I never said I didn't think some of the people on the list
weren't funny (to some degree). But there are plenty of funny people
out there, and I've seen a good many of them. I like some Jews who do
comedy. Jackie Vernon for example. I liked Al Jolson as a singer. So
what? I like some Jews in the entertainment field, others I don't care
for. But overall you are deluding yourself with these absurd lists. I
don't care how many jewish entertainers there are, or how many lists
there are. You are obviously not very open to the opinions of others.
I don't know Ben Cramer. If he's an anti-Semite, that's his business.
I have been called an anti-Semite simply because I think the inordanite
amount of Jews in the entertainment business has little to do with
talent and a lot to do with nepotism. But I'm not saying Jews are the
only nepotistic people on earth. Maybe they're just better at it than
most. Your post was extremely long and loaded down with a lot of
worthless data. There is no argument. You think there are a lot of
Jews in comedy because they're naturally funny, that's your business.
I think you're wrong. End of story.

Be honest, Bozo. Be really honest. Take a good look at that
list. Now imagine yourself all alone in your apartment with videos of
each of those performers. Let's use Woody Allen, for example. He's
considered one of the best on that list. Do you really laugh out loud
watching his films? Or do you just sit around talking about how great
he is because he's supposed to be great? Lists are stupid. I can
throw tons of people on a list who are not Jewish and are definitely
funny. The fact that plenty of Jews at one point gravitated to comedy
does not mean they're the funniest people on earth. Even Sam Kinnison,
who I thought was funny early in his career - even he said in an
interview that he was sick of the propaganda surrounding jewish comics
- and I loved when he said that, because I felt as he did. I suppose
that makes Kinnison an anti-Semite. A dead anti-Semite. Look Bozo,
the truth is, you can't resist responding to anything having to do with
Jewishness, because you're a Jew, even though you probably don't
believe in the religion at all, but you cling to it because it's a nice
little private club and it makes you feel important and wanted. Try
branching out for a change in life, Bozo. It's not too late.

You got that right, George. I think it goes even further. I think
there are plenty of people with jewish ancestors who don't give a hoot
about being jewish except they cling to it so they can use it when they
need an ace in the hole. Also, I'm going beyond the jewish thing. I'm
saying lists are stupid all the way around. Now these morons are
throwing lists of 'good-looking' jewish people at us, as if everyone on
the list is 'good-looking' just because they're in the movies. I don't
consider Goldie Hawn good-looking. Why is she good-looking? Because
she has blond hair and wore skimpy clothing in a few movies. Good
looks are a dime a dozen. There's a ton of good looking people on
earth; quite a few ugly ones too. The people who write these lists,
and especially those who take them seriously are truly stupid people
with a cultish mentality.

Boy, it took you 3 responses to my 1, eh?eheheh And my sharp cursor
tongue had only been placed on "stun," instead of "decimate." eh You
know what they say about opinions, no?eh Especially those that go in
the face of history & cumulative acknowledgement. With each passing
word, I am more convinced of your anti-Semitic agenda. Unless of
course, you're just mentally retarded, and enjoy embarrassing
yourself?eh Like it or not, Jews are the funniest - disproportionately,
historically, or otherwise!eheheh Secondly, it doesn't take an Einstein
(guess what his religion was?eh) to excel in this world when you
comprise the majority of its population. There's no great MITZVAH in
being able to list names, whose religions comprise 99% of the Gentile
(non-Jewish) world. Jews comprise a measly 1/4 of 1% of the world's
population, and have still managed to exert a disproportionate
influence in every field of human endeavor. The Comedy world being no
exception. Jews are so few in number, yet so great in ability. Jews
eventually become synonymous with their chosen fields: Einstein is
physics. Freud is psychiatry. Louis B. Mayer is Hollywood. Harry
Houdini is magic and illusion. Milton Berle is Mr. Television. Nepotism
can only go so far. Ultimately, perseverance and talent must reign
supreme. Like it or not, our successes have everything in the wold to
do with being Jewish. The people who had the greatest reason to weep,
learned more than anyone else how to laugh! Heredity, Environment & A
Unique Value System! These are the three essential components to
Judaism. As for Woody? A cerebral comedic genius who excels in every
aspect of comedy: actor, screenwriter, filmmaker, producer, composer!
Perhaps with the exception of Chaplin, or Groucho Marx (b. NYC, sweet
Jew), not one comedian has been able to match his multifaceted level of
comedy. -D, NYC "I'm the only Jew who ever made a buck off of 'Hitler!"
eh - MEL BROOKS (b. Kaminsky, Bklyn - umpteenth sweet, Jewish
NYer).."We must study in greater detail than their neighbors, these
numerically and geographically insignificant Jews, who gave to the
world one of its greatest literatures, two of its most influential
religions and so many of its profoundest men" - WILL DURANT (The Story
Of Civilization, Volume I).."The extraordinary European Jews who
emigrated to New York were enriching the city's intellectual life with
an intensity that has probably never been equaled anywhere during a
comparable period of time. I was raised largely by these Jews... They
were my teachers; they were my employers; they were my friends. They
introduced me to a world of books and ideas that I didn't know existed"
- MARLON BRANDO (excerpt from "Songs My Mother Taught Me").."I've
always been proud of being Jewish. If you're a good enough pitcher,
they don't care if you're a Martian" eh - STEVE STONE (1980 Cy Young
award).."The first American scientist ever awarded the Nobel prize was
Jewish" - ALBERT ABRAHAM MICHAELSON.."Here is a great body of our
Jewish citizens from whom have sprung men of genius in every walk of
our varied life; men who have conceived of its ideals with singular
clearness; and led enterprises with sprit & sagacity...They are not
Jews in America, they are American citizens" - WOODROW WILSON (28th US
President, 1913-1921).."Jews are unique in that for eighteen-hundred
years they have had no country...and have, whenever there was any
pretense of equality of opportunity for them, forged their way ahead
into positions of prominence, influence and power in business,
professions, in philosophy, in art, in literature, and in government.
The harshest persecution and injustice merely strengthen the
peculiarity of the Jew in the adherence to his ancient customs. Give
him the sunlight of freedom and the balmy encouragement of equality of
opportunity and he assimilates himself to his environment with all the

persistence with which he is so remarkably endowed" - WILLIAM HOWARD

Go Quietly Again!").."The Jews struggled and stuck together. Their
tenacity kept them alive. The fact that my book was a part of this

done more to civilize men than any other nation. If I were an atheist,
and believed blind eternal fate, I should still believe that fate had
ordained the Jews to be the most essential instrument for civilizing
the nations" - JOHN ADAMS (2nd US President).."It would be a
mistake...to ascribe to Roman legal conceptions an undivided sway over
the development of law and institutions during the Middle Ages...The
Laws of Moses as well as the laws of Rome contributed suggestions and
impulse to the men and institutions which were to prepare the modern
world; and if we could have but eyes to see...we should readily
discover how very much besides religion we owe to the Jew" - WOODROW
WILSON (28th US President).."In 1983, Jewish-American scientists
received 27% of the Nobel prizes awarded in their disciplines. In
proportion to the nation's population, the number of Jews in medicine
exceeded 230%, those in psychiatry neared 480%, and those in
mathematics approached 240%" - "JEWISH CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE AMERICAN
WAY OF LIFE By Asher B. Etkes & Saul Stadtmauer.."If statistics are
right, the Jews constitute but one percent of the human race. It
suggests a nebulous dim puff of stardust lost in the blaze of the Milky
way. Properly, the Jew ought hardly to be heard of, but he is heard of,
has always been heard of. He is as prominent on the planet as any other
people, and his commercial importance is extravagantly out of
proportion to the smallness of his bulk. His contributions to the
world's list of great names in literature, science, art, music,
finance, medicine, and abstruse learning are also away out of
proportion to the weakness of his numbers. He has made a marvelous
fight in this world, in all the ages; and had done it with his hands
tied behind him. He could be vain of himself, and be excused for it.
The Egyptian, the Babylonian, and the Roman followed, and made a vast
noise, and they are gone. Other peoples have sprung up and held their
torch high for a time, but it burned out, and they sit in twilight now,
or have vanished. The Jew saw them all, beat them all, and is now what
he always was, exhibiting decadence, no infirmities of age, no
weakening of his parts, no slowing of his energies, no dulling of his
alert and aggressive mind. All things are mortal but the Jew; all other
forces pass, but he remains. What is the secret of his immortality?" -
MARK TWAIN.."Certainly, the world without the Jews would have been a
radically different place. Humanity might have eventually stumbled upon
all the Jewish insights. But we cannot be sure. All the great
conceptual discoveries of the human intellect seem obvious and
inescapable once they had been revealed, but it requires a special
genius to formulate them for the first time. The Jews had this gift. To
them we owe the idea of equality before the law, both divine and human;
of the sanctity of life and the dignity of human person; of the
individual conscience and so a personal redemption; of collective
conscience and so of social responsibility; of peace as an abstract
ideal and love as the foundation of justice, and many other items which
constitute the basic moral furniture of the human mind. Without Jews it
might have been a much emptier place" - PAUL JOHNSON, contemporary US

Having a Jewish mother makes you a Jew.

No need for a correction, since I pointed out that very thing. I did
so, because many anti-Semites (especially those who have incestuous
fantasies like George Edwards) who retort with: "But hey, Paul Newman
was drop dead gorgeous in his prime, because he had Gentile lineage,
and there was no inbreeding!" Perhaps he would like to tell that to
English Royalty, who are infamous for marrying their first cousins.
Personally, I make no distinction between paternal & materal Jewish
ancestry. I have known those of paternal Jewish ancestry who are more
Jewish than those who are Halachically Hebraic. Michael Douglas, Ben
Stiller (b. NYC, his mom Anne Meara converted), and Oliver Stone (b.

themselves Jewish. -D, NYC "I'm not a Jew, I'm Jewish - I don't go the

Well, if you are used to the earthy humor of Benny Hill, you can't
appreciate the subtle humor of Donny Rumsfeld telling Fox News, with a
straight face, how preposterous his critics are. You wouldn't guffaw the way
I did when Dickie Cheney did the "shoot the old Republican lawyer in the

I thought I would wet my pants laughing when Dubya suggested that Jeb Bush
would make a great president.Now THAT is funny. Isn't Jeb the husband of the
Latina who got caught smuggling goods into the US to avoid paying customs
fees?
Of course, Turney Bleeah (that's how they pronounce it on the Beeb) is also

Bill Cosby never claimed to be Jewish, but Sammy Davis, Jr. "converted" to
Reform Judaism for a while. That was until he hooked up with a Black chick
and became "born again."
He told about standing with Billy Eckstine one evening in Las Vegas, waiting
for his car. Two women passing by noticed them and one said, "The one with
the Jewish name isn't and the other one is."
I never liked Bill Cosby, Sammy Davis or Billy Eckstine. Cosby bought his
Doctorate and his wife's, Davis was the house "cullud" to Sleazy Sinatra
(his bodyguard held a reporter Sinatra didn't like so Frankie could hit him)
and Eckstine couldn't sing.
Flip Wilson was funny. But not Jewish.
