Synopsis

OldJewsTellingJokes.com is more than an internet sensation with a devoted, massive audience spanning generations and crossing cultural boundaries. It's a living, breathing cultural phenomenon that has survived thousands of years: Old friends coming together to share company, memories, and, most importantly, side-splitting laughs. In that spirit, the Old Jews have gathered once again, this time for a face-to-face, smile-to-smile, roundtable session in which they perform all new jokes. With The Joke-Off, there is friendly sense of competition as one joke inspires another, but an even greater sense of delight in keeping a much-loved oral tradition alive.Includes: The Pickle SlicerThe Blonde in First ClassThe PimplePainting the PorchThe Continuing Adventures of Becky and Jakeand many more.

About this title

About the Author

Hollywood director and producer SAM HOFFMAN launched the enormously successful website “Old Jews Telling Jokes” (www.oldjewstellingjokes.com) in 1999, born of his own fondness for the funny tales he heard from his father, family and friends over four decades. He lives in New York.

Review

“The ‘old Jews’ who tell the rapid-fire jokes that make up this program are retired New Jersey professionals, though not at comedy. But the amateurish delivery is part of the point. . . . It’s silly, old-fashioned, naughty, and—and if you like that sort of thing—enjoyable.”
