Jackie Mason Classic Political Comedy

[Batyaboo]

That was funny. Jackie Mason - you always were funny and you still are! And the jokes in this routine are just as timely as ever!

[astroblaster56]

Damn, this guy is good. I don't like him but there is no question that he is good.

[mpjgbx]

They were proud that the show was in color because they were trying to sell color televisions. Just like in the 90's everyone was proud they had a website in order to sell computers.

[justicenow999]

Did you catch the line about Governor Romney. That was weird. Deja vu all over again.

[ufotofu9]

Oooh, Samantha...my boyhood crush, and I was bron in 1981! haha. I would sometimes fake sick to stay home and watch Bewitched reruns.

As a Liberal Socialist and all that, but also a Jew (duh!) I think Jackie Mason is hilarious.

[calamitysix]

jewwwwwwww

[Dogbandit]

I totally disagree with him politically but he IS funny.

THAT is the mark of freedom. Being able to listen to and comment on opposing views, no matter how anathema those views may be to our own.

[jnmklo9]

Diane was not intending to invade Gaza but the war was over so quick and they had lots of men and machinery they decided to invade it and have stayed for over 40 years,

it is a mess but it will improve as the years go by I'm sure - peace will come Paledtine wil be a proper country and Israel will be peaceful too

[1ndabag]

@frisc123 Your racist rant reads as if it were written by a five year old. 

[thespecialneedsgroup]

Did anyone else laugh at the Presidents/Plumbers line when they realized that this was recorded before the Nixon Administration?

[1gesteban]

Where was the mother phucking finger? He got banned for that???? OMG!!! phucking ridiculous!!!

[MrBrownie145]

I aint anti-semitic, but you got to admit that Isreal are kinda shitting on innocent Palestinians, I just can't understand how people can look at Gaza and think 'yep, that's right'....

[blacksheep3703]

@MrBrownie145

But it's O.K. when Suicide terrorists blow up a bus or restaurant full of innocent Israelis? We've tried over and over to come up with a peacefull solution and the arabs refuse to accept. We ghave the right to protect ourselves. Supose YOU were in OUR shoes? The best DEFENCE is a good OFFENCE!

[NewYorkCityUSA7]

@blacksheep3703 When you try to steal someone else's land then you deserve whatever comes your way.

[parfect2]

Nuf-ced!!

[TheJesterGirl]

Uh-oh! SpaghettiO's!

[bahramf]

Colour television, la di da

[judedelux]

Wow if it wasnt for Jackie Mason no one would know who Jackie Mason was. Now you know that he was a untalented one trick pony without one single funny bone. He is spreading his crap all over YouTube like a bad skin rash. Hey Jackie Off here is a funny one Whats the difference between a Jewish wife and a Rott? A Rott lets go. Now go and make a video of it so that for once you have something funny.

[edcoondog]

@judedelux yeah dude, your show is waaaay better.

[bahramf]

@judedelux "Wow if it wasnt for Jackie Mason no one would know who Jackie Mason was." i totally agree, even though it's meaningless statement.

[judedelux]

Wow if it wasnt for Jackie Mason no one would know who Jackie Mason was. Now you know that he was a untalented one trick pony without one single funny bone. He is spreading his crap all over YouTube like a bad skin rash. Hey Jackie Off here is a funny one: whats the difference between a Jewish wife and a Rott? A Rott lets go. Now go and make a video of it so that for once you have something funny.

[chest002]

I love Jackie's Ed suliivan imitation. Just cracks me up. Great comedic timing. One of my favorites for sure.

[SomeRandomDude00]

man.. 5 min with this guy and i would shoot myself...

[foxxl8ly]

Hilarious, love Jackie Mason

[chodeshadar18]

Ohmygosh! I didn't remember the Hollywood Palace! We used to watch this like clockwork every week! Man Elizabeth Montgomery was so beautiful and classy...so sad she died so young1

[owenhunt]

Is that Ju Jackie Mason? You on Youtube?

[shanghaibenny2]

1:33 Making fun of Ed Sullivan who kept Jackie off of TV for a long time. They had a falling out over a gesture Jackie made to Sullivan on one of his shows. Sullivan thought it obscene.

[TheOldcountryboy]

they shouldve had jackie do a show with rodney dangerfield

[eslubin]

Am I crazy or is this a dying/dead artform. You can see Mason peppering the audience with thought fragments raising and lowering their reactions. I feel like I'm watching Benny Leonard. Who does that today.

[123backinyerface]

I liked this guy from I was a kid, they just don't make em like that anymore.

[sonic911]

lol thank you family guy for introducing me to this gem

[BlueSoulJim]

the digital color film in 1966 look awesome!

[xanderkhaan]

Hyksos kings or HYKSOS / Israelites came from ASIA they invaded Egypt they were kicked out after 100 yrs they then conquered the land of Canaan and called it Israel many Jews today r Ashkenazi’s they got kicked out of palistine by the romans and went to that land of khazara in Russia and the king and his empire converted to Judaism they are EUROPEAN and our not Semitic

[bigred997]

how often do u see someone who has the audience in the palm of their hand and they tell him he has to get off? great segue where he brings up the ed sullivan event and then gets off. yes, mr. - i'm talking to you.....

[rujtj]

He's great!

[bloozemc]

liz montgomery looks lovely as usual

[333harvey333]

Jackie: "Hey Mister, you know what I'm talking?" Fantastic. Classic Jackie. I love him. I have for decades!

[Superhumanattack]

Just watched your tyt interview why did you hang?

[rjworks13]

Wow... Elizabeth Montgomery is so much taller than Jackie Mason! lol

[hufclufc]

Is it true when he plays to a jewish only audince all the material is about money and power, coz you guys couldnt give a fuck about anything else?

[dudemantwo]

Jackie Mason was not the anteater voice?

Yes, I too, am a Zionist...proud of it...

[keyboardplaya]

Face it, the vast majority of Americans don't know who the fuck Jackie Mason is.

There's a reason for that, and it certainly isn't censorship. Even Fox News doesn't find this guy entertaining.

Although, I would say Rich Little is even worse. Yecch!

[victorsblock]

@keyboardgaya

You're just an angry libtard surfing youtube for any entertainer

you politically oppose so that you can try and denigrate their talent

and accomplishments.

Turn off your computer and stick your dildo back up your ass.

I'm sure you will then be happier.

[Loejyrrab]

@victorsblock I'm an angry libtard as you refer to us, and I think Mason is a riot. He has made me laugh since the 60's. My whole Jewish family loved him. He used to really go after Reagan, Nixon, Ford, Carter. He is an equal opportunity critic. His target is now Obama. If Rommney or Palin, echhhhh, is next, they'll wind up getting skewered.The man is a genius.

[victorsblock]

@Loejyrrab

what are you talking about? I never called you a libtard.

You are a Jew Hater.

[Loejyrrab]

@victorsblock Hey Vic, you are a lying sack of shit. You denied using the word libtrad, but what is this? It's you using the word libtard.

[victorsblock]

@LoejyrrabPigJewHater:

I use the word "libtard" quite often coz there are so many. Just didn't use it on you but who the fuck gives a shit you stupid retard.

[Loejyrrab]

@victorsblock Victor, something tells me you never reproduced. I see you sitting at your computer alone, drooling, venting your hatred for, well, seems like everybody. You cannot be involved in anything positive. A sad case really. Just so ya know, I won't look at anymore of your hate filled replies. So don't bother!

[victorsblock]

@LoejyrrabPigJewHater: I only responded to your Jew Hatred. Don't try and flip things around. Instaed of writing so much just write the following and cut and paste the same thing each time. Just write: " I am a Loser. I hate Jews. I am extremely jealous of anyone proud to be a Jew. I think I will kill myself". Just so ya know.

[GlennRoxWyo]

@keyboardplaya Your saying the majority the majority of Americans haven't seen Caddyshack II. Give us a break.

[PlayaDontHate24]

hes got a big ole head

[quickcritic]

Umm...John Byner did the voice-over for the Anteater, not Jackie Mason.

Byner was using Jackie's style of voice...

[GabriKnight]

Yes, I was being ironic about the ant-eater voice.

[The6000Sabre]

This had to have been in 1967.

[speedoflite1]

lol. ...a bit ironic to see this lil mutant faced Munchkin making of people =

Timeless

At age 73, his more recent double reverse mullet comb-overs are a riot, too! Still, his political/social commentaries and religious bigotry is best suited to a KKK rally. They'd love it, but I just don't find racism & bigotry to be all that funny, even when its not directed towards me.

[TheBlueyedblond]

So he's a racist bigot because he doesn't like the president? WTF? Thousands of blacks despised Bush, does that make them racists too? Oh sorry..l.forgot that only WHITE people can be racists.

[speedoflite1]

Once upon a time... Jackie Mason was a very funny guy. [frequent guest on Ed Sullivan 1960-'61]. I actually liked his act. His Ed Sullivan impressions were hilarious.

Alas, Jackie Mason, a racist & bigoted (73) year old fool [2009-'10]. I detest the man's racist, bigoted and narrowminded views.

'It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt." M. Twain

[newyorkeastside]

@speedoflite1 You are a mental case. No one gives a shit that Hussien Obama's mother is white......no one. Why bring up race? The presidents mother is white...a single white mother who had sex with a black guy who took off on her...some things never change, that's why Jackie has ageless humor!

go spank your monkey while stareing at a picture of yellow boy. lol

[RottenAnatomy]

So what if there's only white people? Get over it. People will use any excuse they can find to accuse someone/something of racism, even when it's obviously not there.

[MrPoliticon]

@RottenAnatomy: The schmuck is probably a diversity commissar at the Post Office.

[soccerdood621]

wow you would notice that there are only white people that in itself is a racist comment. This is a political stand up it has nothing to do with race

[acerb45666555]

3:00........he cant be serious? are we to believe that even today a congressman needs no college time?? thats insane!! you dont need poorly educated puritan bumpkins in congress! you need top quality progressive thinkers with degrees and diplomas !!

[MrPoliticon]

@acerb..., are you trying to be funnier than him?

[cbreeze1525]

Because we are a racist country. especially the 60s

[bapyou]

Too bad Mason has evolved into a know-nothing partisan big mouth. He was funny -- like here -- when he was dishing it out on both sides of political table. Now? He's not funny at all.

[misiobear77]

why there are only white people on the stage?

[peeizownage]

im doing project for jackie mason and wisconsin where he was born =]

[pklocek]

By the sound of it; the show was taped in late 1967 or early 1968. WOW. And Jackie is still basically doing the same schtick!

[kaleba]

Thank God for laugh tracks!!! He said it all at 2:00 where's the comedy?

[trooperjoe73]

That was a different era. Political comedy back in the day is not what it is now. I'm not that old, but some things don't translate. Remember the Carol Burnett Show or any other variety show. It makes no sense now. Even those old comedy roasts are dead boring. The younger generation may not appreciate this, but others sure do.

Just like some old school hip-hop head don't listen to Soldier Boy, etc..

[kaleba]

Oh I LOVE classic comedy,but Jackie Mason has NEVER been funny...EVER

[trooperjoe73]

So you've seen him before, yet you came looking for him again? Expecting a different result?

You ever seen his impression of Ed Sullivan? It's classic!

[kaleba]

Soooo glad you asked!! I did this to win a bet that Jakie GLEASON was the (FUNNY) guy from the Honeymooners not this schmuck

[trooperjoe73]

Yup Gleason was Honeymooners and Sheriff Bufford T. Justice from Smokey and the Bandit!

[agnespete]

THe truth sometimes is funnier than a joke.

I have his cd, and almost ran off the road

laughing in the car.

[Sesquipedaliantique]

What I like best about Mason is the way he talks. Awesome NY Jewish accent. I bet he swears in Yiddish.

[56BUICKRiviera]

Topical political humour that is still funny over 40 years later!

[bwork66]

"The following program comes to you - IN COLOR!!!"

[bullsnutsoz]

Some dopey yanks just dont get humor

[MitzvaMobile]

VEri nice Ilike dis

[GabriKnight]

Not to mention pompous. OMG, the word was created for him.

[vibraharp226]

Very true. Certain artists get a reputation for excellence, and rare is the objective observer who will point out that the king has no clothes. Many of Mason's defenders will respond to this criticism with "oh, it's a generational thing." I'm not buying it. The delivery (choppy, one-liners) gets tiresome quickly, but above all the content is incredibly LAME. The heart of good comedy is an ability to make profound observations about the (often silly) human condition, a skill Mason sorely lacks.

[Robo1415]

Jackie has been spot on for a long time.This wasn't his funniest gig.His broadway shows and his political youtube commentaries are hilarious.

[Cheeko1111]

@vibraharp226 haha, yes - you are a true hero for thinking that someone isn't funny. Maybe a lot of people find him really funny (like me) and you don't? Trying to define good comedy is impossible so if you don't like Jackie, don't click on his youtube clips. Easy.

[GabriKnight]

Anyone else thinks he sounds just like that anteater cartoon from The Pink Panther Show? What is that accent? Is it predominantly Jewish or from a particular part of America?

[Pookatube]

Jackie has a thick Yiddish Accent, and he was a native Milwaukean.

[Loejyrrab]

@Pookatube Good observation about Mason's accent. I didn't know he was from Milwaukee, I thought he was born in Brooklyn. Nevertheless, the accent is poor horseshit. It's been part of his act from the beginning.

[charliemctruth]

As much as I detest and despise jews.I laugh at their jokes,queue up to watch their movies,listen to their music...

Im just Goy who cant say nu'

"LeChaim" .........

[MrBozful]

so charlie, you think that just because you laugh at their jokes and listen to their music, its ok to detest and despise jews?

mctruth, you don't hate jews. the TRUTH of the matter is there is a part of yourself that you hate that you can't deal with because you're a weak postule, so rather than dealing with that you project that hate onto something else. but i suspect you don't have the brain capacity to understand what i'm saying

[Zeno1999]

As a Cdn, its such a privilege to meet so many different ethnic groups and there's something beautiful about diversity as they all have something gr8 to share that none other have !

When I don't understand abt their customs, all I need to know is how it all started. Evrything exist for a reason.

Jackie uses stereotypes to create his comedy and its fine with me - enjoy it.

All comedian r sort of demi-gods, hidden philosophers/psychologists.

Charlie getting his BPr high on ignorance !

[MitzvaMobile]

True

[vibraharp226]

Weak pustule. LMAO!

[newstart2009]

Jackie I love the fact your on youtube! Its wonderful to have a forum where you can speak your mind, share your past work and let us know where we can see you....Thank you!

[yingdiskette]

Right on Johnny!

[JohnnyRock2000]

The New antisemite...anyone that criticizes Israel, except if you're a jew, in which case you are self-hating.

Unfortunately now that most of the world criticizes Israel, most of the world is antisemitic.

[OMNIDESTRUCTION]

JohnyRock2000, you're an antisemite.

[Tanzarian]

This is in color! I better adjust my computer screen.

[farronx]

tanzarian was that suspose to be funny? lame

[spitz512]

A 41 years old comedy routine about entertainers becoming politicians. It's amazing how some things never change.

[MarcusCMarcellus]

Elizabeth Montgomery, hubba hubba indeed, introducing Jackie Mason is like, well...it's just weird - the ultimate WASP shiksa and the Ultimate Jew.

And the reference to Romney's father is eerie.

[JohnnyRock2000]

A HUGE head and no neck, even when he was younger.

[GrandMasterScotty]

I like Jackie Mason, but I don't know if he's the 'ultimate Jew' - that's a title that should be reserved for Rodney Dangerfield.

[JohnnyRock2000]

What he means is that he is the ultimate zionist

[dougienancy]

well said johnnyrock2000, perfect

[johnnecron]

I am also a Zionist and I am not a Jew.

[Shnufkin]

@johnnecron I'm a jew and im not a zionist.

[Hajumula]

@johnnecron fuck u zionist

[Loejyrrab]

@johnnecron Sorry I'm a year late with this but Oy Vey, you're a non Jewish Zionist. That means you're one the most dangerous lunatics roaming aroung the USA, namely: A Christian Zionist.You turd knockers give money to the Israelis, bring over old Russian Jews to settle on Plestininan land, with the goal of preparing the Holy Land for Jesus's return.The Yids take your money and say to each other in Yiddish,"Nemsach da gelt" Take the money and run! OK, was I right? Your a John Hagee Christian.

[babytiger28]

my boyfriend would love to have this orchestral music follow him around all day like his own theme tune lol

[gmakepiece]

Jackie Mason is a true unique talent and professional like Dean Martin, Bob Hope, Frank Sinatra, John Wayne, Bobby Darin, Don Rickles and Jimmy Stewart etc. These outstanding people are not coming up anymore. God bless Jackie. May you live for decades more, Jackie. colonelrobertneville blogspot com bestobamafacts com thepeoplescube com drsanity blogspotcom che-mart com

[katseye888]

I love Jackie's timeless material - then AND now! I like the way he can stay comically clean while remaining intensely funny. No vulgarities in this, yet priceless humor. Now THAT'S TALENT! The Ultimate Jew. The Ultimate Comedian. The Ultimate Political Commentator.

[legalbeagle26]

hubba hubba Elizabeth Montgomery!

[brooklyneze]

Jackie - hope you got together with Elizabeth after the show ...;>)

[AmbientMusic]

In Living Color! Thanks for sharing this great clip Reb Jackie!

[BigDaddy1968]

I don't remember the whole Bobbie Kennedy climbing a mountain to tell people he wouldn't run (when of course he did.) Can you refresh our memories, Jackie?

Big DAddy

[Segodnya1234]

But of course all the material about Nixon and Reagan is absolutely true, right?

[heinz333bge]

This is nothing but funny

how old is he like in his mid 70's ?

[TheUltimateJew]

go to wikipedia for all jackie info

[ketket1980]

Thanks for sharing Jackie! This was some great stuff... very applicable commentary then, and now.

[yhshvh10]

That Elizabeth Montgomery is one bangin' Shiksza!

[mkkulture]

weren't you on caddy shack II?

[TheUltimateJew]

jackie starred in caddyshack II

[MGR1900]

Jackie Mason has always been a class act. He never has gone the easy route with vulgarity just for the sake of vulgarity.

[BraaapMan2000]

The Ultimate Simpleton. You're a sad, hateful old man Jackie.

[lylelovett666]

I like Jackie.I have never seen him so young.

[brooklyneze]

sexy, too!

[Gugguggug]

Wasn't funny then, isn't funny now.

[standingstrange]

I like the old material too.

[tazer042]

amazingly funny sir.

17 years old and your my fav.

i would love to see some more old footage from you

[oljgiei97uj]

You looked great then

[TheUltimateJew]

are you saying I don't look so great now..I'm very hurt

[farerse]

@TheUltimateJew why do you say peuson instead of person?

[Awenek]

@TheUltimateJew You haven't changed! Of course compared to what is the question....? :-)

[5taestacion98]

You are a legend!!!

[gduvnroe87]

This is absolutely great work Jackie

[clayp72]

I never get tired of Jackie. The Ultimate Comic The Ultimate Jew The Ulitmate American God Bless You Jackie!

[CottonO]

I was interested in Jackiie's delivery and timing back then. Didn't it seem to you to be snappy, more rapid fire, less conversational? Now that I think about it, that must have been the "style" of the time.

It would be nice if Jackie could comment on the changes since then.

[jordanthecat]

Bulletin from October, 1966: Elizabeth Montgomery is hot.

[jerry550]

Jackie,

What a hilarious clip. You did a great physical Sullivan. I believe 1966 was the first year for full color on network TV. The quality of this clip is excellent. It it a kinescope?

[favoritemovie321]

Ahh pre caddy shack era!!!

[onemorethingsir]

Brilliant performance from jackie, they should have kept you on for a lot longer.

[norfdak377]

great show

[beerandchips21]

Jackie my foot hurts... you jew bastard! :)

[muzalot]

it's a great thrill and fantastic opportunity to see me in person.. I love that opening.

[fuyingbro]

you are gold. very funny set jackie

[fuyingbro]

wow i wasnt born yet. thanks for maiking feel a little younger. and thanks for the releasing this upload. as i said before most of us wouldn't have had the opertunity to see your talents.

[12CIFOM]

Star, The best.

[jmelf80]

Great work Jackie, you've been funny your whole life!

[rogermoore27]

I just realised Jackie's head looks too big for his pint sized body...lol

[Mondas2007]

this is just too funny. Keep up the good work
