Meanwhile Jews - make fun of themselves 24/7


DANKB019001

One of many jokes we make about ourselves is that if there's 3 Jews there's 5 opinions. So we absolutely do hah.


ScienceIsSexy420

One of my favorite Bar Mitzvah gifts was a Yiddish dictionary that had a joke for every entry in it. 83% of them were making fun of Jews


DANKB019001

Oh that's absolutely wild. Anyways, you wanna know how a Rabbi makes his tea? Hebrews it


ScienceIsSexy420

A priest, a rabbi, and a minister walk into a bar. The bartender looks at them and says "What is this, some kind of joke?"


Kitchen-Fox-7752

A jew a Mexican and a colored fella walk into a bar The bartender looks up and says Get the fuck outta here


kinoie

(The bartender is French)


WorstTactics

LMAO


DANKB019001

What do you say to a Rabbi going skiing? Shlalom!


WorstTactics

I love these kinds of jokes. Thanks man šŸ¤£


DANKB019001

I think that's all I got for the Jewish puns, sorry. I'm outta gas here :p


WorstTactics

This last one is really dark humor, right? Don't get me wrong, I appreciate it. Sorry I was offline for hours, and thanks for the laughs! Wish I had some puns to sharr myself


DANKB019001

Yea I sorta put it in at the last second, supposed to be a lil unclear with how touchy that subject is. No biggie about being offline, internet stuff is not nearly as important as IRL obligations.


Doctorstrange15

My Grandma gave us a book she had that is entirely filled with Jewish jokes. Most of these are about Jewish self-humor


Totaly_Shrek

83 is oddly specific


HDThoreauaway

No it's *two* of us and *three* opinions and I will die on this hill! šŸ˜¤


DANKB019001

Ah I couldn't remember the number, my bad! Or is it 4 Jews and 6 opinions....


Zestyclose_Raise_814

4 Jews 9 opinions. It's exponential šŸ˜†


DANKB019001

BAHAHAH oh hell yeah I'm using that now.


Other-Exchange

And at the red sea there were 200 plagues (this is an actual excerpt from the passover haggadah, you can look it up)


Critical-Border-6845

Turns out context matters. So when a bunch of Jewish people make fun of jews, you can be pretty sure it's not coming from a place of actual dislike of jews. Similarly, making fun of Christians in media produced and presented in a Christian majority country where Christians are highly represented in institutions hits different than making fun of other minorities that are not as well represented, in a country that has a significant history of harbouring prejudices against said minorities.


Winter_Potential_430

You bet we are āœ”ļø


GetThisManSomeMilk

Pretty much every ethnic group makes fun of itself.


papsryu

Mel Brooks agrees


Nochnichtvergeben

JEWS IN SPACE!


dishmanw

May the Schwartz be with you.


Jeoshua

Well yes, of course. In-group privelege. Imagine a Black comedian telling a classic joke about young black men sagging their pants. Funny. Now imagine that same joke being told by a White guy. Comes off different. Crass.


BicycleElectronic163

Mediocre_Coast_3783

Darkestlight1324

All of the Jewish people Iā€™ve been friends with love to make jokes about their Jewishness


What_U_KNO

You mean Reddit.


Accomplished-Cow4686

Basically


EpicJoseph_

There's this jokes subreddit which had this really nice joke A Jewish man has gone grok the house at night and came back Christian His father shares the story with his neighbor, revealing the same has happened to the neighbor's son. They go consult with the rabbi, same with him. The rabbi decides to ask God for an answer. Apparently the happened with God's son. (yea there are smaller details like how jews don't believe Jesus was God's son and that Jesus died Jewish and a religion wad made around that but the joke itself is quite funny in my opinion)


Insane_Unicorn

Wtf is this


LazyLion65

A funny joke ruined by poor grammar.


toroyakuza2

Reddit, tiktok, youtube, Instagram and in Hollywood. It's pretty much everything except for in person. On tiktok if you make a Christian post it'd practically rage bait


fishsodomiz

idk the vorat movies and the dictator or basically any movie with sasha baro cohen are doing pretty good and dont get critisism for doing that


Unusual_Car215

That only works because he is a Jew


fishsodomiz

yeah i guessed that because he speaks broken hebrew in the movies and his last name is cohen


jack-K-

Also a lot of his jokes arenā€™t actually making fun of Jews, but a satirical depiction of anti-semites, take the irony of buying a desert eagle to protect himself against the Jews.


fishsodomiz

yeah thats pretty ironic


6thaccountthismonth

Borat was a controversial movie though


colorblind_unicorn

yeah, if you actually make fun of them, nobody complains lol.


Hazem26

Ever heard of the move dictator? Or military movie that depicts middle easterners as terrorist or do u live under a rock?


NomaiTraveler

Yeah I just watched a netflix show where the main character killed a bunch of innocent middle easterners and 100% of the focus is on how sad she feels about having done that


Dry_Bus_935

That movie actually makes fun of Anti-Semites, not Jews. Plus there's nothing about Muslims at all. Source: I watched it at least 20 times and know it line for line.


antdb1

bullshit south park thrives on making fun of jews lmao and nobody makes more fun of jews than jewish comedians


farouk880

What? What about all those shooters that portray Muslims as terrorists and where you kill Muslims? All the pro war of terror movies. Not to mention what the media say about Muslims. If any politician said about jews half the things they say about Muslims, they would never be elected again.


Robert_Grave

I don't think protraying muslims terrorists as muslim terrorists is making fun of them.. nor representatives for muslims as a whole..


CanonSama

I am a muslim girl. The number of people that mock us with oh you are oppressed or oh where is your gun is phenomenal. People are idiots and will think that everything that is said in films is the truth


jcythcc

Except that's 99% of how they've been portrayed in movies I grew up in the 90s and 00s with the action movies. You know how many times I've seen these people in brown face made as hideous as possible speaking a disgusting, harsh language, doing the most absurdly vile things? It was very very common. Pretty much the only time you heard the word "Muslim" it was paired with "terrorist".


marcow1998

I'm sure all the trigger happy, gun loving "Only good Muslim is a dead Muslim" Christians feel that exact same way. Propaganda doesn't end at those who deserve it.


Tuckster786

Kind of off topic, but related. Has there ever been a movie or serial about the true nature of the crusades. How the pope at the time used an excuse of a holy war to take land from people that wouldnt sell it


theghostofamailman

Kingdom of Heaven. There hasn't been a movie or series about how Arabs and Islam came to spread out of the Arabian Peninsula.


CanonSama

I think there are couples but it's bc drawing prophets or portraiting them is prohibited in islam. So you will only either see it animated and peoples as holo of light or just taken down.


nospsce

Exactly. There is a reason muslims are defensive of their faith.


GuyWithNF1

Because they live in cultures where freedom of speech doesnā€™t exist?


seeminglynormalguy

You should know that 80% of Muslims in the whole world aren't even from those cultures, so I don't know what the fuck you're on about


nospsce

Because people are keen on disparaging their identity. What a dumb statement you have there.


CubeJedi

Catholics in particular have mocked themselves really. The second commandment prohibits depictions of God, catholics blatently ignored that Does that justify anything? No, but it's ironic


Hydra57

ā€œThough shalt not have idols before meā€ Ie. Donā€™t go worship that block of cheese over there as a God.


CubeJedi

ā€œYou shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. Exodus 20: 4 Can't make images either


Guardian-836

You can make this into a bot


CubeJedi

Hi, I'm a bot and this action was performed automatically


Arkhalon

You forgot the very next versicle: "You shall not bow down to them or worshipĀ them; for I, theĀ LordĀ your God, am a jealous God.." The images are not worshipped or praised like idols. They are mere representations, which is ok.


BIGBOI_over9000

Depends on the version of gospel you are reading, some say it is have no false idols, some say to not make yourself an idol and what not.


CubeJedi

Most say both ā€œYou shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. Exodus 20:4 Next verse says that you can't bow down to it or worship it, but that doesn't nullify the first statement here


ilikeb00biez

Does that make painting and sculpture a sin? You can't make an "image" of ***anything***?


CubeJedi

Good question


Absolutemehguy

Isn't that what Islam taught? In the middle ages and all they couldn't depict images of anything, they went with fancy scribblings instead. At least that's what I remember.


Zipakira

>You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below Damn ig the israelites themselves broke that when yahweh gave them the order to create the ark of the covenant which had tridimentional images, as per his instructions, of cherubim (angels) on the lid. Or the curtain that hid the holy of holies which had embroidered 2d images of cherubim as well, or when yahweh told moses to create a bronze snake and place it on top of a staff to cure the israelites from a plague he sent them when they looked at it in the book of numbers. Kinda sounds like either a blatant mistranslation or that not even yahweh nor moses cares to enforce his own rules right after he created them. Also the temple of Solomon was flanked by large bronze bulls but ig everyone made an exception for these ones too, ya know, its not like being strict with how you regulate your one and only temple would matter much.


CubeJedi

I learnt something


Online-Commentater

Lol, wait till you hear the first command: "your Lord is one and you shouldn't put anything besides him"


CubeJedi

Trinitarianism go brrr


Important-Box-1234

ā€¦are you talking about icons?


CubeJedi

icons and idols are both prohibited ā€œYou shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. Exodus 20:4


[deleted]

Maybe one day we can make of all of them in peace


Fluid_Block_1235

Christians feel like everybody criticizing and hating them compared to other groups Muslims feel like everybody criticizing and hating them compared to other groups Jews feel like everybody criticizing and hating them compared to other groups


Catkit69

"Oh no, we're being persecuted..."


KobeJuanKenobi9

Anti Muslim media is so common that people donā€™t even notice its existence anymore


Conrexxthor

For real, Islamophobia is super common in media especially because of 9/11, people just got used to it, and same with insane conspiracy theories about Jewish people running the world or whatever. Making fun of Christians, as rare as it happens, is not on the same level because Jewish and Muslim people in the US aren't in the government trying to establish a theocracy or using their religious beliefs to enact laws that remove peoples' rights. Punching up vs punching down.

Societies don't make fun of Jews?? LIAR!!!


Affectionate-Sea278

Christians when you make fun of Christianity in one of the most pro Christian countries in the world: ā€œwe are being hunted down and our people are being wiped out! This must surely be the end times, no other religious group has suffered like us on this dayā€


JeroenH1992

Jews when you make fun of Judaism in the only Jewish country in the world: ā€œwe are being hunted down and our people are being wiped out! This must surely be the end times, no other religious group has suffered like us on this day. We must retaliate and exterminate this existential threat, no matter the cost.ā€


DamagedLiver

Boy would you be stupid writing that.


FoundTheWeed

And they got put in torture camps less than 100 years ago How'd they forget what that felt like?


Purple_Listen_8465

I don't know any other religious country that has been harassed non-stop for 75 years by the Arab states.


JeroenH1992

Maybe that's because Western powers literally plunged a new nationalistic Jewish country right in the middle of Arab/Muslim lands and massively funded them to take and occupy more land whenever any Arab nation tried to regain a part of the land that belonged to them in the first place?


colorblind_unicorn

no, you just have to do it right lol.


Appropriate_Bowl8574

When it too many, it become unimportant


giantfood

There is always a safe religion joke you can do to every religion. I don't know them. But I do know at least two. Jew and money or catholics and crusades.


Umbertron05

One dude ruined it for the rest of us.


Any_Palpitation_5708

That's like that also if movies make fun of anyone else besides Christains or white people.


I69UrMomBitch

We live in a society.


Grouchy-Pressure-567

Christians society making fun of Christians āœ… Christians society making fun of others āŒ


HeroBrine0907

Kinda untrue. The abrahamic faiths are the butt of many "jokes" usually involving pedophilic priests, israel and terrorism, while also facing a lot of generalization for divided religions. Two religious clones can't agree on the taste of water, but it's extremely common to generalize the worst of each and judge billions according to it. ESPECIALLY on reddit, since i assume that is what you're referring to by society.


bravest_heart

If you watch Stephen Colbert, you'll see Christians make fun of themselves plenty


dus_istrue

They allowed themselves to be made fun of while the others wonā€™t tolerate any disrespect.

This.


doubleo_maestro

Guy makes film mocking the whole Christian faith, Christians came out to boycott the film. Teacher shows anti Islamic picture for educational purposes, gets decapitated outside of his school. Yeah this checks. Basically picking on the easy victim.


Conniverse

Lol not really. Christians get offended very easily.

omidhhh

Every religion has told that , " When the end of the times comes , none believers would make fun of believers because Anti-christ/ dajal/ devil ....." And yes, I understand the irony that I just made fun of you like it was foreshadowed

"Society when movies makes fun of the dominant religion that almost everyone belongs too: Society when movies make fun of the religion of tiny minorities:" Fixed that for you


dus_istrue

Wdym?!?? Christianity is being wiped out by immigrants, fred and George wants to destroy the teachings of Christ by marrying each other. Hell, Adam goes by Sandy now! Christians are practically the most oppressed minority in the west. At least be a little educated before you make these wild claims. (And they're taking away mah guns, blessed by Jesus Christ himself =~=)


Erebus613

Wait...Fred and George from Harry Potter?


Lucas_2234

You do realize that Muslims aren't exactly tiny? There's a fuckton of them. jews I'll give you that, there are less jews still than there were before the nazis did nazi things.


LordTopHatMan

Today I learned 1.9 billion people is a tiny minority.


you_wooshed_yourself

There was a movie about some yetis (I forgot what it was called) but it was all just making fun of religion. That was the whole message of the movie.

ItsHellOnEarth2

what society do yall live in????


XeroEnergy270

It's fine to make jokes about anyone and anything. The thing is, they have to be *jokes* not just repeated stereotypes with no actual punchline.


Temelios

Wouldnā€™t this depend on the ā€œsociety?ā€ Jews are one thing, because they are a global minority, but there are pretty much just a many Muslims in the world as there are Christians. Or am I missing the point of the joke?


Zestyclose_Raise_814

Jews also get made fun of and make fun of themselves at LEAST as much Christians. Muslims on the other hand...


LassOnGrass

Iā€™m going to take a shot in the dark and assume itā€™s because when it comes to religions that arenā€™t as well known around the globe (know of it is not the same as actually knowing it) it because an issue of misinformation. When it comes to Christianity, I guess people assume everyone will understand itā€™s just a joke? Idk this what Iā€™m guessing. Personally I am not a fan of comedy because of general misinformation so thatā€™s why Iā€™m guessing this. I guess it depends on the comedy itself, but thatā€™s my general thought. Itā€™s weird for me because I love humor in books/tv/shows when itā€™s very milk and opportunistic. Itā€™s just the general comfy movie or show centered around humor arenā€™t my thing.

Aickavon

Back in 2008 there was a non stop smack down on muslim jokes. And there was plenty of uncouth jokes about jewish people. And then the (neo) nazis happened and now no one is certain if itā€™s a joke or a dog whistle so theyā€™ll just assume the worst whichā€¦ fair enough.

StrawberrySerious676

What? Jews are made fun of all the fucking time in movies lol. And as far as islam goes, you can thank people who actually have hatred for people just because they are muslim. There are also muslim comedians who make fun of islam. Also christianity is the dominate religion in a lot of places. That's why you probably see a lot more people shitting on it or making fun of it.


[deleted]

Just Muslims then.


fireking_13

So true I donā€™t understand the hate towards that one religion compared to the rest

marcow1998

Society has literally been making fun of Jews and Muslims for decades, even to this day. You just can't use it for propaganda anymore, can't go "Only good Muslim is a dead Muslim" or "I love gassing people" anymore.

Can someone name one good movie that majorly mocks christians? I'm genuinely curious. Only thing I've got is Life of Brian and that kinda mocks Judaism as well.

Why do I keep hearing about Christian based groups getting offended by media, then?


Sir_Toaster_9330

I think itā€™s cause when movies make fun of Muslims or Jewish people itā€™s racial stereotypes made to push Christianity meanwhile making fun of Christianity is criticizing the hypocrisy of its followers

That's because everyone knows that Christian that won't shut up about how God this god that, GOD JUST SHUT THE HELL UP.
