David Mamet- Joke He is Most Proud of

A little polar bear comes home from school. He says, Mom, am I a polar bear? She says of course. He says, I mean, am I a real polar bear? Am I complete? Biologically I’m a polar bear, right? She says yeah. He says so you and dad are complete? You’re polar bears? She says, yeah, why are you asking? He says “because I’m f — king freezing.”

No? ok here is one he doesn't invest so much in

how did Archimedes respond to his critics? And the answer is “Fulcrum, if they can’t take a joke.”

Done.

I assume this is late career Mamet.


"...everyone finally shut up, and the audience could enjoy the beginning of the Anatevka Pogram in peace."

My favorite Mamet joke is when he tricked the theater community into taking him seriously as a writer for like twenty years.

My favorite David Mamet joke was in response to Jeremy Piven leaving his production of Speed-The-Plow. Mr. Piven’s doctor said he should not continue to perform because he was suffering from elevated levels of mercury, which may have been the result of large amounts of fish in his diet.

Mr. Mamet said, “My understanding is that he is leaving show business to pursue a career as a thermometer.”

That is still one of the funniest things I have ever read.


When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain. -Kad

KAD those were quotes he gave the Toronto Star in today's paper so that that's as late as it can get!
