I think the Jew thing is Hillarious, because
A.) I'm a jew. So it's funny right away, becuase he's saying something that is true and he isn't wrong, two things that always make something funny

B.) He's running out a series of tired stereotypes to which he adds nothing. Why are they tired? Because they've been around a long time so they must be pretty funny otherwise they'd have gone away. And if it ain't broke, don't fix it!

C.) It's IRONIC! Because as Vince has told us many times, he's very tolerant person who shows it by calling anything he doesn't like 'pussy', always mentioning the ethnicity of his 'girlfriends', bragging about touching breasts, constantly questioning other peoples manliness and making pretty much the same Jew joke over and over and over. If that's not IRONIC, it could only be a SHAMEFUL LACK OF SELF AWARENESS, and that would hardly be funny at all, except in a 'pay a quarter, see the freak' kind of way.


I mean, when you think about it, it's kind of weak the way I make fun of things speciffic to Vince himself and things he's actually said. It's just a cover for not having some sort of blanket sweeping generalization I could mock with pre chewed japes. If only Vince were black or homosexual! There are so many great things to say about blacks and homosexuals. Sigh. I should probably spend more time focusing on his communication disorders and learning disabilities.
