I heard an iteration of this joke a zillion years ago but you, Gordon Grinberg, did a masterful job of getting it across!!! All these years later, it's a great great joke and you've done amazingly well with your execution of it. Thanks so much - und - zei gezint!! :)
This is toooo good. As a silent, it builds inexorably even though most of us know the gag, so we're almost lip-reading as the boys walk down the street. Wondering how the punch line will read builds the anticipation, and the punch is so perfectly delivered that it's a joy, despite the fact that we know what's coming, anticipating the delivery. Great musical accompaniment, so apt. I'm going to send it to my friends in England, see if they know what good humo(u)r is. Excellent production values, nice costuming, greatest use of black and white since Young Frankenstein! Oy! Such a joy, I loved it.
Knowing the joke, what cracked me up completely on my first viewing- I've probably watched it literally twenty times now - was the imaginative sight gag when the young Muslim ladies turned the corner. Everybody in the neighborhood walks in pairs and dresses in black! Kudos to the director for dreaming that one up.
This is a WONDERFUL performance of a very old joke. The music is so great, I immediately bought the CD. To the moron who thought it to be "hate-religion" based,: GET A LIFE and an EDUCATION!
BC is the pre-Covid era. Today The Tailor has really special significance! Perhaps an C version with masks could be recreated for more laughs and insite!
Not exactly the way I heard it...or the way Bogart used to tell it at Ciro's.... but excellent, none the less! Congrats and Mazel Tov from Pincus....xxxH

I still laugh when I watch this. Can't help it, it's just that well constructed and executed. Mazel tov.

Such a joy, I loved it.
I recall screening this lovely film many years ago at Tyneside Cinema.
I loved it then, and I love it now!
Many thanks for sharing Gordon!
Brilliant!!! My favorite short movie of all.
Wonderful! I've not heard this joke, so the build up to the punch line was incredibly enjoyable.
I have re watched this several times now......and it's quite brilliant
Absolutely brilliant! The cast is wonderful as well!
I laugh even more every time I watch this. I really miss New York.

My late husband told this joke masterfully.
Same; my late Mom also told it masterfully as well, at every family gathering and party.
Love the joke, have told it often...the movie...FABULOUS!
I loved the music!
Nice. I heard this joke in the '60s. Amazing that it is still current.
REALLY well done! Perfect :)

Superb Latin !!
I couldn't hear the punchline. Marcus Pincus What?????
not entirely clear to me, sounded like some Latin expression

Brilliant:-)
Adorable

How ecumenical
Surely their hats are black. Not a simpler point of reference?

These Talmudic students would almost certainly have conversed with each other in Yiddish rather than the totally different Hebrew which they pray in..
+Perry Hamburg Well, they're Jewish, yes? Then it's their choice!

The music alone got me laughing! Didn't care for the punchline though...
Marcus Pinkus nos jodio'.
