i've seen this guy and few others didnt find them funny. but i think it's because it's american humour, tends to be slapstick, in your face. i prefer subtle humour guess that's why british comedians funnier to me.

also just because a person follows particular religion why do most jokes have to be based around that. i mean being muslim is one facet of a person other things aswell right? why not draw humour from that too? just find it dull when all jokes about islam and being muslim and nothing else.

Not sure. I don't have a problem with him/her/it.

I think his question was more "do Jews believe in a specific figure or instead, in a "messianic age" where there is not specific person, but the overall circumstances are as such"

Spot on..that was exactly my question

A longstanding tradition going back at least to the prophet Isaiah holds that redemption will come about, that is an established doctrine, and any associated beliefs about endtimes impact everyone which is why we should choose and speak of them carefully. Talk of Messianic times or a Messiah has waxed and waned in its popularity and there is a long running list of false Mesiahs.

The last Lubavitch Rebbe was a very effective proponent of the belief that we should prepare for a Messiah's imminent arrival. Many of his followers today, after his death, have taken that belief a little far, but generally they do a lot of good work. I don't profess to know what would happen in a Messianic age and a lot of scholars would agree that speculation has to have some limits, but my understanding is talk of redemption is a call to righteousness and, pending revelations notwithstanding, nothing else.
