If you were not Jewish and/or were not familiar with Yiddish, some of this would be have been hard to follow. It was based on a certain kind of stereotypical east-coast Jewish woman. Most of the jokes presented Jewish women as greedy, sex-averse, and without style or taste. Raised the old question of whether it is OK to tell racist or misogynistic jokes if you are a member of the class being mocked. The actresses worked very hard and were well-intentioned, but somehow it felt kind of heavy-handed, and after a bit I didn't feel like laughing.
