Do Israelis have a good sense of humour ie are they happy at laughing at themselves?

forgetting this political correctness lark This clip was filmed in Britain by the 2 Ronnies, a hugely popular pair of comedians but would our Jewish friends also find this clip amusing

I lived there for a while. They have no sense of humour and definitely (or defiantley as it is so often mis-spelt here) cannot laugh at themselves.

Yes, I would think that Israelis would find this humorous. Actually, Israeli Jews tend to have the humor that regular Jews have, I found, and do make fun of themselves a lot in good humor.

So, this clip is funny to them.

Lol, I am an Israeli and I find it to be very funny not offensive AT ALL! I am sure we share this quality with the Brits we laugh at ourself a lot. Sure Jewish people have sense of humour, but i don't like Israeli humour but that's just me though... But dont worry we are not offended at all and DONT listen to these Arab haters! *sigh*

Most Israelis do have a good sense of humor and yes; we Israelis are quite capable of laughing at ourselves.
This quality is rare in the Middle-East, but it is abundant in the region's only democracy!

Jewish people love to laugh at themselves, watch the clip in the link below, Sacha Baron-Cohen who is as far as I know Jewish sings a song entitled "Throw the Jew down the well".

I don't know if this film has been shown in Israel.
Borat - Throw the Jew Down the Well!!
