I am here to help you learn. About this Course Why are the Jews so funny? What is unique about Jewish humor? Why are so many comedians, satirical novelists, and film directors Jewish? And why do Jews ask so many questions? This course will explore the rich universe of Jewish humor. We will trace its evolution from the Yiddish culture of the 19 th -century shtetl all the way to 21 st -century cinema and television, where Woody Allen, Jerry Seinfeld, Mel Brooks, and others have made American humor Jewish, and Jewish humor American. We will probe the significance of the schlemiel, the schlimazel, and the schnorrer, and why these cultural archetypes which emerged centuries ago in Eastern Europe still have such resonance today. 1
2 Disclaimer some of the material covered in this course may be deemed racist, sexist, homophobic, excessively violent, sexually explicit, or politically incorrect. This material does not reflect the beliefs of the instructor or the teaching assistant. If you are uncomfortable reading about, watching, or discussing these things then this course may not be for you. Such is the nature of ethnically based humor. Neither Jewish humor nor its cultural historical context can be understood without a close look at all its facets. Required Readings Students are expected to come to class each week having done the assigned readings beforehand. Books for purchase The following required readings are available for purchase at The Little Professor, located on 65 S. Court Street. Jackie Mason, How to Talk Jewish.

10 Grading Standards A A B B B C C C D D D F 0-59 Work in the A range displays clear excellence and will make clear, cogent historical arguments that demonstrably engage all reading materials. Work in the B range displays solid effort and thoughtfulness if not clear excellence. It makes clear arguments that engage most if not all of the reading materials. Work in the C range is fair. It may make solid arguments, but suffers from a lack of engagement with reading materials and perhaps lack of context as well. Work in the D range is poor It has some redeeming features but suffers from lack of sustained effort, lack of context, and lack of most engagement with reading materials. Work in the F range is failing. It does not meet credit standards for a university level course. If you have a documented disability that requires an accommodation, please notify your instructor within the first week of the quarter. 10
