Three things

Friday, June 13th, 2008

1. Rabbi Mordechai Friedman may hate Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, but he loves reading from the newspaper…

2. Here’s the latest Andy Rooney Game about wristwatches…

3. And come to my show “Workdays with Maury” this Monday at 8pm!

I’m obsessed with old men and angry Jews

Friday, May 9th, 2008

Before I begin, I’d like to first thank all my devoted friends who came to both of my shows last night. I didn’t think anyone would actually do that. The only person I ever paid money to see twice in one day was Jackie Chan, the day Shanghai Noon came out. (Ah, to be seventeen again.)

Today, in honor of these wonderful people, I will be posting not one, but TWO youtubes.

Here’s last week’s Andy Rooney game:

And here’s Rabbi Mordechai Friedman getting so upset about the Pope that he does a comical spit-take:

The Angriest Jew in Showbusiness

Wednesday, April 16th, 2008

Allow me to introduce you all to Rabbi Mordechai Friedman. He’s the host of a little show on Queens Public Television called Judaism: The Series. I discovered Rabbi Friedman a few days ago while I was flipping through the channels. His intensity can be quite intriguing and I found myself instantly becoming a fan follower. Unfortunately, I have a feeling that I may be Rabbi Mordechai’s only viewer, which is totally unacceptable. This is a man who must be heard.

So, I decided to upload some of his teachings onto youtube for everyone to enjoy. (That’s the Jewish way.) Please enjoy:

I love when he gets mad at the phone number for being antisemitic.

By the way, I season-passed Judaism: The Series on my DVR, so expect a lot more crazy Mordechai clips to come your way in the short future. I really, really hope he becomes an internet sensation and, subsequently, sues me for defamation. (That’s also the Jewish way.)

Two very important things

Okay! Okay! I take it back! I want to be Jewish again. Sorry! What are you going to do sue me?…What, really? You will?

A few days ago, I got so enamored by the evangelical website www.godtube.com, that my faith began to waver a bit. Thankfully, my good friend Ethan just informed me about www.jewtube.com (motto: “Here’s Looking at Jew!”) and, needless to say, I’m back!

Jewtube is so awesome!!! It’s all the mirth and wonderment of Judaism broken up into literally hundreds of exciting, easy-to-watch viral videos.

This one is called “Chanukah Party.”

PAAAARRRRTYYYYYYY!!!! So jealous. That place was bumping. So insaaane. Almost NSFW. Speaking of, have you ever wondered what a fully erected (LOL!) sukkah looked like? Check this out:

(Warning, you might need your inhaler, because this vid is action packed.)

The one and only comment for that video:

THAT’S INTERESTING!

Here’s a Rabbi talking about sex. Kind of? I dare you to watch more than a minute. I couldn’t.

That Rabbi has uploaded like 400 videos on Jewtube. I bet he makes over 100K a year.

(Other must-sees include “Bat Mitzvah Borat” and “Purim Rap.”)

PS: Come to Totally JK tonight!

If you pick up the newest issue of Heeb Magazine, you will see my name included in “The Heeb 100,” their annual list of 100 Jews to watch. (That’s in the entire diaspora, son.)

Hey, world! Get ready to watch this Jew!!!

Being on the Heeb 100 is an honor. In fact, it’s pretty much the second best list a Jew could ever hope to be on. (The first best.)

Heeb100.com has the entire list, including little Jewy bios of everyone. Be sure to see my friends Jenny, Josh, Brett, and Seth as well. Oh, and DJ AM, obvz.

Happy Jew Day

I just got an orange juice at the nearby deli and happened to overhear this conversation between the two Chinese women working the cash registers.

Chinese Woman #1: Why it’s so slow today?

Chinese Woman #2: Today is Jew Day in America.

(Chinese Woman #1 then covered her mouth and giggled for 15 seconds.)
