Exactly what it sounds like. The trailer is NSFW.

Why is everything about Jews exactly what it sounds like? Have they lost all their mystery?

The Incredible Jew After physicist Dr. Bruce Berkwitz was caught in the blast of a orthodox bomb he created, he was transformed into the Jew, a naggin monstrosity.

Since the movie is called Night of the Living Jews, I think it would have been much funnier to have a film about a couple of Jewish guys hanging out around New York one night. Just as they hit the bars and talked about their jobs and stuff. Also, for comedic movies in the theme, they will never beat the Hebrew Hammer for awesome Jewness.

The part where he squeezes that zombies boobs and then punches it in the face is pretty damn funny.

Sometimes I wonder if Jewishness as a comedic device has been played out, and if it's really funny, or it's just referential-funny. I'll still laugh I guess.

That was terrible...the trailer managed one payot joke and one reference to non-kosher foods. Jeez, even For Your Consideration's bad-Jewish humor was better done. (And they couldn't have called it Night of the Living Dybbuk?)

Fry: "I'm never gonna get used to the thirty-first century. Caffeinated bacon? Baconated grapefruit? Admiral Crunch?" Leela: "Well if you don't like that, try some Archduke Chocula." (I have nothing to say about the goofy trailer)

eh, kind of tastless and played out imho. "There are JEWS on the lawn. ZOMBIE Jews." Yes, we get it. Jews are scary. Dead-alive Jews are scarier. Funny? notsomuch.

The impetus for the film began with the most significant Jewish discovery since Moses invented the bagel—that deceptively simple, groundbreaking formula: add Hasidic Jews to any situation and that situation instantly becomes a million times funnier. Does that mean Schindler's List is a comedy?

add Hasidic Jews to any situation and that situation instantly becomes a million times funnier. If that were true, the Giant Eagle in Squirrel Hill wouldn't be such a miserable place.

PostIronyIsNotaMyth writes "Does that mean Schindler's List is a comedy?" Only if you play Yakety Sax over the end credits.

"Night of the Living Jews" should really be an uncomfortable-funny Holocaust movie (i.e. indulge the fantasy that the dead of Auschwitz rise again). Or maybe it could be spun as a serious, scary movie.
