Comic 'Thinks' He's A Jew (Kramer simply “feels Jewish”)

December 1, 2006

Rabbi Marvin Hier, who founded the Simon Wiesenthal Center in L.A., told the AP, "You can't feel Jewish. It's not a matter of feeling."

I think it’s hysterical how this entire brouhaha is EXACTLY like an episode of Seinfeld.

[OldFriend]

And frankly, we jews have enough schtunks in our midst. We don't need Richards!

[Andy from Beaverton]

National Lampoon did a great cut and paste job with Seinfeld episodes over this: http://youtube.com/watch?v=6dXBC6R_rxk

It is, in fact, the episode in which Jerry's gentile dentist annoys him by attempting to become Jewish and peppering his dialog with Yiddish.

Oy vey.

Why can't third rate "artistes" who have won the $$ lottery based on pure luck, not talent, just be grateful and slink back into obscurity?

[Petronski]

He's not a Jew, he just "feels Jewish."


Good grief.

I agree with you, dead. This whole thing is turning more comical by the day.

Rubenstein, an expert in crisis management

Who hires an expert in crisis management as their publicist? Michael Richards, I guess.

Thanks for that link! That was brilliant.

Rabbi Marvin Hier, who founded the Simon Wiesenthal Center in L.A., told the AP, "You can't feel Jewish. It's not a matter of feeling."

Oh but it is, Rabbi. When I play funk on my Hammond B3 I not only feel black, I become black.

...even though I'm white/Jewish most of the time.

He said, 'I agree with the religious beliefs of Judaism, and I've adopted Judaism as my religion.' "

Probably goes to synagogue every Sunday.

Bump for later...

Hilarious scene and one of my favorite episodes:

Jerry: All right, that's enough. Now get going. Get outta here. (Tim and his staff enter)

George: Hey, Tim. Quick question. Is it normal for your teeth to make noises, like a hissing or a chirping?

Jerry: George...

Tim: Um...

George: Fine, I'll make an appointment. (He leaves)

Tim: All right, it is cavity time. Ah, here we go. Which reminds me, did you here the one about the rabbi and the farmer's daughter? Huh?

Jerry: Hey.

Tim: Those aren't mahtzah balls.

Jerry: Tim, do you think you should be making jokes like that?

Tim: Why not? I'm Jewish, remember?

Jerry: I know, but...

Tim: Jerry, it's our sense of humor that sustained us as a people for 3000 years.

Jerry: 5000.

Tim: 5000, even better. Okay, Chrissie. Give me a schtickle of flouride.

Jerry: Oh good. Anyway, I wanted to talk to you about Dr. Watley. I have a suspicion that he's converted to Judaism just for the jokes.

Priest: And this offends you as a Jewish person?

Jerry: No, it offends me as a comedian!

[MonicaG]

LOL, Mr. Mojo! Keep the funk ALIVE!

One thing's for certain... Richards is no ant-dentite.

I like Matzoh Ball soup--does that make me Jewish? And I can kvetch as well as any Bubbe on the Coney Island Boardwalk. Still I don't think that would make me Jewish--just a goy who can kvetch.

There's a mohel joke in there somewhere.
