Adam Ruben at the Funniest Jewish Comic Contest

[danieldaring]

finally a good looking jew

[ONLYBESTVlDEOSFORYOU]

my advice would be to try and be more restrained, you look tense and nervous, your jokes aren't carrying much emphasis. You always seem to be leading up to something extremely hysterical with your voice, but that raises expectations to the point where you'd need something really hilarious to get laughs. But i like how you can relate to the audience and your attempted composure.

[joyyitsana]

i'm jewish and latina. if we were together you'd turn that oy into ay.

[skyemail]

Dude! I just bought your book yesterday. I'm 3/4's the way done. It is hilarious. Thank you for making me want to throw up every time I think of going to grad school this fall. hahaha

[adamruben]

@skyemail: Thanks! I'm glad you're enjoying the book!

[acomedyfan]

Are you really Jewish? Or is it part of your act?

[adamruben]

I'm really Jewish.

[joenathanable]

Adam Ruben

can't get a more jewish name and he looks jewish for sure

good stuff

pretty funny not the best

[acomedyfan]

Did you add your own laugh track?

[adamruben]

No--the laughs were real (which is always good news), but the guy who recorded the performance used a different mic to record the crowd and mixed it in later, so if it sounds slightly out of sync, that's why. But it shouldn't.

[WhatYouGots]

that some funny shat.

you could even enter one of those online comedy contests, like yobi laugh

[viridianstar]

Ahahaha. That workbook part is so true. "No, I'm clearly not." My Spanish workbook was like that. A party where everyone was speaking in the future indicative.

[drfunk444]

I wish theyd have a funniest middle aged white guy contest.

[Elinitsam]

In a sense, in this day we are living in, a lot of new slang has been introduced. So infact we are speaking in a future indicative. It seems the French textbooks and workbooks sound stupid but they really weren't that far off the mark.

[tozkera]

Hahaha the DISCOTEQUE! bit was funny.
