It is not "Jewish humour", it is American Ashkenazi Jewish humour of a specific era. Humour in Israel is different, humour in non Ashkenazi communities is also different. Even if you look at Jewish comedians in the UK like Sasha Baron Cohen it is a completely different style of humour.
- jamra 9y agoYes! I’ve been in Israel for the better part of this last year. One of my neighbors is a comedian. The prevailing humor is very specific to country of origin. There is so much Ashkenazi American Jewish culture that wouldn’t make any sense to Ashkenazi Jews in Israel.
