[@abbykanarek2067]

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!! :)

[@RealDapperDude]

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

[@RealDapperDude]

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.

[@Ampex196]

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!

[@adrianedawndawn]

Wonderful! I've not heard this joke, so the build up to the punch line was incredibly enjoyable.

[@CharlesProoth]

Brilliant!!! My favorite short movie of all.

[@sbh1311]

I have re watched this several times now......and it's quite brilliant

[@whoobrdwy3]

Absolutely brilliant! The cast is wonderful as well!

[@nathanielmarch9096]

I saw this a long time ago. Still very funny. Well done, you guys!

[@Annefranksblog]

10/10 Hands down fantastic. You've done a great Job. Congrats!

[@9doves]

Everything about this is wonderful!!

[@Ira108]

Hilarious!!! Thanks for sharing it.

[@bellowphone]

I laugh even more every time I watch this. I really miss New York.

[@harriet1954]

Loved it! My grandfather was a tailor.

[@Johan4WD]

This was excellent! 😅

[@richardgolden5855]

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.

[@rogergordon9617]

Well told and directed, very funny.

[@dmtmirful]

Just loved this one!!!

[@svetapes4735]

I like it! Thank you very much! ;)

[@elanagerson878]

REALLY well done! Perfect :)

[@scarletapril12]

My late husband told this joke masterfully.

[@paulsherman51]

Same; my late Mom also told it masterfully as well, at every family gathering and party.

[@michaelgyongyosi7189]

"Marcus Pincus Fuctus" - very cute!

[@primadonna4840]

had a similar experience in Manhattan to this movie, which is irresistible and funny!

[@pamperk1]

I loved the music!

[@chasingjoshua1]

Love the joke, have told it often...the movie...FABULOUS!

[@bobandrayfan1]

MAGnificent! And..Pincus/Greenberg sent me..

[@Hannan68]

This is the best!!!!

[@TheWBGerard]

Nicely done.

[@pgifford]

Nice. I heard this joke in the '60s. Amazing that it is still current.

[@BRADSLINKMAN]

Brilliant:-)

[@nilavaghosh4887]

Superb Latin !!

[@DarthPreamp]

fabulous!

[@laszlozoltan5021]

great ! thank you

[@penandinkus]

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

[@arthuryellin645]

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!

[@geraldswirsky8834]

It's an oldie but a goodie

[@bobhess5986]

I couldn't hear the punchline. Marcus Pincus What?????

[@paulsherman51]

not entirely clear to me, sounded like some Latin expression

[@meredithhoppin904]

@@paulsherman51 Marcus Pincus fucked us. But the nun hears "factus," a Latin word -- and, of course, Marcus and Pincus happen to have Latin-sounding endings.

[@anutaNYC]

where are more movies?

[@6shalom6]

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!

[@BECKYBOHECKY]

Adorable

[@frankbonomo1870]

How ecumenical

[@GeoKiew]

- Мне кажется, это темно-синий цвет! - Маркус Пинкус (портной) не мог продать нам темно-синий! Монахини: - Взгляните на этих двух симпатичных молодых священников. - Это не священники, это студенты ешивы. Юноши: - Когда они пройдут мимо, я сравню свою руку. И тогда мы сможем понять - черный ли это или темно-синий. Монахини: - Когда они пройдут мимо, послушай - если они говорят на иврите, это студенты ешивы, а если они говорят на латинском. это священники. - Вот видите - я же говорила, что это священники! - Действительно? И что он сказал? - Marcus Pincus fucked us!

[@micahadar2712]

genius!!!!

[@let_the_boy_bid2378]

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

[@vidiupload4174]

Hilarious!!

[@perryhamburg3625]

These Talmudic students would almost certainly have conversed with each other in Yiddish rather than the totally different Hebrew which they pray in..

[@davidharscheid2749]

+Perry Hamburg Well, they're Jewish, yes? Then it's their choice!

[@stutarlowe2412]

+Perry Hamburg Yiddish, Shmiddish! And anyway, A) It's only the nun who refers to Hebrew; they very well could have been speaking Yiddish. And B) Please remember that, for most jokes to work, there has to be a suspension of disbelief.

[@cathyskitchenprescription500]

Hahaahahah

[@moshebenabraham8872]

Marcus Pinkus nos jodio'.

[@chodeshadar18]

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