Episode 7 Namaste


I must've missed something, so can someone please explain this exchange?

At the end, Larry comes home and hears them shagging and says:

"Do I hear a Jew?"

And the woman says "I'm not going to do that."

What????

reply

Remember, Larry said he could determine a Jew's voice earlier when they were talking about determining black voices.

This was the first really funny episode of this season of CYE.

reply

I believe, and i'm just guessing, that there's a stereo type that jews don't do anal. And when she says this, it confirms to Larry that she was indeed a Jew. They wern't actually talking to each other.

reply

She's a Jew stereotype -- not very adventurous / kinky / willing in bed.

Larry first hears her "Jewish" accent and suspects, then it is confirmed when she acts like a stereotypical "prude."

Jewish humor.

reply

It was both the accent (which sounded fake btw) and probably that she wouldn't give a blowjob.

It used to be a joke/thing in the 80s/90s that "Jappy" (Jewish American Princess) girls did not give oral.

reply

Why are you replying to me telling me exactly what I said/know? haha

reply

I meant to reply to the person who thought it was "anal" she wouldn't do :)

reply

OK, haha!

reply

Sounds like a jew stereotype is that they are 'anal 'people, but yet they don't do anal? What an interesting contrast. The most anal people never do anal..

reply

That's QUITE a stretch - how is international audience that might not know anything about jews or jew stereotypes, supposed to know any of that or get the joke?

I like to think of myself of 'relatively cultured' when it comes to understanding American humor, but I would NEVER have gotten this joke without these explanations. Wow.. almost an inside joke in public television.

reply

Larry recognized the jewish girl's voice from her moaning and then her remark confirmed it
