Line 16:
 
== [[Anime and Manga]] ==
* Very much lacking most anime and manga, except when part of the plot (as seen in ''[[Adolf]]'' and a small mention the [[Fullmetal Alchemist]] movie), probably due to the fact that Japan has virtually no Jewish community. The Kabbala and Hebrew characters are featured as religious symbolism (see [[Xenosaga (Video Game)|Xenosaga]] and [[Evangelion]]), but it's mostly a case of [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic]], [[Jesus Taboo]], and/or [[Rule of Cool]].
* [[Black Lagoon]] features Benny.
 
Line 22:
== [[Literature]] ==
* In Roddy Doyle's ''A Star Called Henry'' (set during the Irish Revolution just after [[World War I]]) has the hero have a rather [[Anvilicious]] friendship with a Latvian Jewish refugee. At the time there were about 3000 Jews in Dublin (0.8% of the population) so it comes across as a bit forced since the only real reason for them to be Jewish is so Doyle can make the IRA seem [[Author Tract|even more evil]] when they disapprove of his friendship.
* Lampshaded in the FAQ (Future Alien Questions) section of ''[[Earth the(The Book)]]'' for religion.
{{quote| '''Q''': We were surprised you devoted so much time to Judaism, since it made up only one fifth of one percent of the world's people.<br />
'''A''': What do you mean?<br />
Line 48:
 
== [[New Media]] ==
* The website [http://www.jewornotjew.com/profile.jsp?ID=619 Jew or Not Jew], which profiles which celebrities/historical figures/fictional characters are Jewish, inverted this with [[Snow White and The Seven Dwarves (Disney film)|the Seven Dwarves]]. They concluded that six of the dwarves are Jewish (Dopey being the non-Jewish one) because apparently in a large group of Jews you have to have at least one non-Jew.
* The comedy song "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8LmMtScH3g&feature=related All I Want For Christmas Is Jews]"
* In his [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpVM_cij9eY Hanukkah Song], [[Adam Sandler]] lists a whole boatload of famous Jewish folks.
Line 61:
* [http://multiplexcomic.com/archive.php?name=27 This] [[Multiplex]] strip accuses Hollywood Jews of [[Jesus Taboo|watering down Christmas movies]] to promote secular themes rather than religious ones. The reality is more likely that [[Money, Dear Boy|religious movies don't tend to put asses in seats]].
* Normally, ''[[Everyday Heroes]]'' goes to great lengths to [[Subverted Trope|subvert tropes]] ... then introduces a [http://www.webcomicsnation.com/eddurd/everydayheroes/series.php?view=single&ID=173833 Jewish family] consisting ''[[Exaggerated Trope|entirely of lawyers]]''.
* Not explicitly invoked, but [[Last Res 0 rtRes0rt]] has shades of this -- three of the sixteen players on the show are implied to be Jewish (being from [[Space Jews|planet Arael]] and all). The three in question -- Jigsaw, Daisy, and Slick -- are also the show's biggest characters.
