Clip of the Week: Jewish Mothers Behaving Badly

Ronna and Beverly take New York
 

If Ab Fab's Patsy and Edina had been born as kvetchy Jewesses with Boston accents, they might have been Ronna and Beverly. The comedy duo (a.k.a. Jessica Chaffin and Jamie Denbo) are taking their Jewish-mothers-behaving-badly act on the road, stopping off at NYC's UCB Theatre this Thursday. Check out this clip (featuring Ugly Betty's Ana Ortiz as Beverly's "girl") and watch as Ro and Bev prep for Passover in all their Atavan-fueled, self-involved glory. Paint the Jews in the best light it doesn't, but would it kill you to laugh a little?

Yentas United Against Intermarriage
Ronna and Beverly think you can do better.
Ronna and Beverly are loud, opinionated, and wear too much lipstick. Watch as they harass an innocent bookstore employee while publicizing their new book for Jewish singles, "You'll Do a Little Better Next Time." Yes, these yentas are fictional (yet eerily reminiscent of my mom's friends), and if you love them as much as I do, there are many more chapters in the Ronna and Beverly saga to enjoy. Here is one of the best.
