When is comedy not funny? Some would argue, when it's about the Holocaust. Through interviews and performances featuring people on either side of the issue - including Mel Brooks, Sarah Silverman, Louis C.K., Joan Rivers, Chris Rock, and Abe Foxman - as well as a portrait of a resilient survivor, The Last Laugh offers an intelligent and hilarious survey of what is and is not off-limits in comedy, from the Holocaust and beyond.

A documentary about how humor about Jews and the Holocaust is perceived by people who lived through the Holocaust or are Jews themselves. At times I felt like the Holocaust victims were a little needless, but on the other hand it was nice to see the humor personalities talking about what they were doing and why they were doing it and why it made sense.
