Like Jewish humor? Who doesn’t?! Jews have a comedic style all their own and aren’t afraid to get into some of comedy’s dirtier topics. But, this is only part of the reason why Old Jews Telling Jokes is such a hilarious and rewarding site. The other reason, naturally, lies in the age of the joke-tellers! Somehow, seeing someone old enough to be my grandparent sharing bathroom and sexual humor just makes me laugh. The combination is so unexpected! It clashes with our preconceived notions that old people are too conservative or stodgy to have a crude sense of humor. Still, this combination is precisely what makes this site so great!
Plus, it’s impressive how well most of the people keep a straight face leading up to their punch line. As the site makes clear, telling a joke requires talent! Not just anyone can phrase things just right, using the best inflections and tones of voice to leave the crowd rolling in the aisles. Therefore, I have to give major kudos to these old jokesters!

Even better, older Jews are often the characters of these outrageous Jewish jokes. Why is this so great? Because, if there’s one thing funnier than old Jews telling crude jokes, it’s the idea of old Jews actually being in these crazy situations!
In the spirit of this fun and hilarious site, one must take time to enjoy a good joke. Love jokes but in need of new material? Stay tuned for my top 5 books on Jewish humor! And, until then, have a good laugh.
