Just thinking about Jackie Mason and I remembered the fantastic scene in Mel Brooks movie “The History of the World – Part I”. Jackie plays a poor Jew who is being tortured by Torquamata {his balls were used to play ping-pong}.
Mel Brooks was very clever in his humor. I myself think this clip is hilarious because it portrays the Inquisitor as a fool. Also due to the fact that the presentation is in musical style it makes the subject matter light and humorous. Also the Jews are portrayed as strong in their religion and unwilling to convert to the false religion of the inquisitors.
