P.S. You can see more of Gary Rudoren’s videos here featuring Yisrael Campbell and Susan Silverman of Women of the Wall in West Jerusalem, called “The Times of Yisrael.” At 1:17 of this appearance at Penn last month, Max Blumenthal said Rudoren is “an openly-Zionist artist who’s deeply immersed in Jewish Israeli society.”
New York Times Jerusalem bureau chief Jodi Rudoren has been tweeting her husband Gary Rudoren’s short film about Thanksgivukkah (above), and though I’m no film critic, this one falls into the category of gentile shtik. The Sullivans are bland, bigoted against Jews, all dressed in red, and they eat white bread and mayonnaise. Just like Woody Allen said, many years ago. Some things never change.
What’s wrong with you Phillip, i mean, seriously ?
A dysexlic gentile walked into a bra and ordered a drink for his god
A dysexlic Jew walked into a bra and ordered a drink for his g-d
So lame. How does her husband make a living off of this crap?
I don’t think he meant any ill will by it, but then again since it’s so awful and tacky with low production values (obviously; not like it’s being entered for Best Short Film or anything) – its difficult to interpret the sincerity.
Jewish humor is lost on me…..too much of the ‘self-deprecating’ + the ‘other deprecating’.
I might give it one ha-.
‘Deprecating’ or ‘making fun of ‘ has become standard script for what passes as humor, wit and comedy these days…..all snide and snark…..lack of imagination imo.
My idea of funny is more like the British ‘Mr. Bean’ TV show—that took ordinary life of a unordinary ‘character ‘and turned it into hilarious misadventures .
I rather watch the old Road Runner and Bugs Bunny cartoons of my youth than todays ‘snide’ and not really funny humor.
A gentile pig walked into a Synagogue in an illegal settlement in the West Bank and asked the Rabbi if he could convert
The Rabbi said, “Sure, just put this lipstick on.”
