Norman: Is this your idea of humor? Is this how you provide us with “swift and reliable inside information on the most fascinating of art forms?” I find this to be in poor taste, on so many levels. And I say that as a Jew.
Nedd Sherrin said that explaining a joke is like dissecting a frog and at the end the frog dies, and nobody laughs. Sorry, Larry, Ich bi eine von inzere auch.
I forgot to mention that I recently had a “humor-ectomy.” No wonder I didn’t get the joke. It makes perfect sense to show a picture of Paul Robeson, then post a video with someone parodying him and the song with a phony Yiddish accent. It makes even more sense considering the current racial situation around the world. My bad.
Stanley, it’s a “shonda” for the “goyim.”
Larry i use the word gentile which is much better in this day and age
Terrific. I love the rise on the last note.
Exceptionally brilliant!!
Gee, a Jewish comic making fun of a song that depicts the Black pain of cotton workers, that was used as part of a musical now widely considered racist. What could possibly be wrong here?
