Line 131:
* Riff from ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]'' only mentions his Jewishness when Chanukah rolls around (though he ''does'' bring a Star of David with him when he goes vampire hunting).
* Parodied in ''[[Kid Radd]]'', when Kobayashi reveals in a holiday [[Omake]] comic that he's part of a [[McNinja|Jewish order of Ninja]].
* Choo-Choo Bear of ''[[Something *Positive]]'' is Jewish. We've seen comics that featured pictures of him at his Bar Mitzvah, and one where he and his cousin Twitchy-Hug explained Passover to the audience. Only thing is... Choo-Choo is a ''cat''. A boneless, hairless, gelatinous cat.
* It's mostly [[Fanon]], since it never comes up in the comic and is based on a joke by the author, but fans of ''[[Homestuck]]'' have taken Terezi to be [[Call a Rabbit a Smeerp|Jewgish]] due to a conversation where she admits to not knowing about "Jegus" (referring to a ''[[Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff]]'' misspelling). [[It Makes Sense in Context]].
** Hilariously, it was revealed later on that there was an actual [[Crystal Dragon Jesus|Jesus-analogue]] in the history of Terezi's world. Terezi's ancestor was one of the followers of an underground cult he inspired after his death. In other words, Terezi is the descendent of an alien Christian.
Line 155:
** In another, has a Bar Mitzvah (yes, he's in fourth grade, but he was held back). And once, he uses the Yiddish word "kibbitzer" (meaning "person who butts in").
** Eugene may be as well, as they included a kosher joke in his song during the food groups pageant. Also, his last name is Horowitz.
* In a ''[[The Mighty B!]]'' episode where Bessie and Penny keeps sneaking into Bat Mitzvah parties, we learn that Portia Gibbons is (probably) Jewish when Bessie sneaks into the Bat Mitzvah party of Portia's cousin.
* Billy wishes the audience a happy Chanukah at the last possible minute in ''[[The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy|Billy and Mandy Save Christmas]]'' claiming that's what they celebrate at his house and rubs in the fact that he gets more presents.
* Jude on ''[[Sixteen|6teen]]'' showed no signs of being Jewish until one of the [[Christmas Episode]]s where he said he had to get home because of Hanukkah. There is some irony that Jude was the name of one of Jesus' friends/apostles (and no, he's not the same as Judas). Not to mention Jude is German for Jew.
** This actually adds to [[Unfortunate Implications]] when Jude becomes goth, and adopts the name "Judas."
* Kitty from ''[[X-Men: Evolution]]''. The only evidence that she's Jewish is a scene of her lighting the menorah in her home in the [[Christmas Episode]]... and, of course, being very definitely Jewish in the comic the show was based on.
