We Get It: You're Jewish!

What the heck is with the mentioning of being Jewish every 30 seconds?
Seth: "well I'm jewish so I can handle kids"
Seth: "I went to jewish camp and met this girl..."
Adam: "You have a big cock for a jew"

...There are many others.

Jesus!(See what I did there? ) We get it, the director is jewish, most of the cast is jewish...do we really need to be reminded throughout the entire movie?! No. You'd have to be a complete moron to NOT know. I've liked Adam Sandler since his "Billy Madison" days...he's jewish. Who gives a *beep*

"When I feed the poor they call me a saint, when I ask why they're poor they call me a communist."

For real. I swear if they couldn't include references to penis or Judaism, they would have no movie at all. I wish I had this on my computer and I cut out all those parts and make it 15 minutes long. I really wish I could make everyone realize that. I seriously bet it wouldn't be much longer than that.

"Oh, my God. Bear is driving! How can that be?!"

Kudos.

People from minority groups or different sexuality or gender or whatever a certain persons bag is are constantly asking to be treated the same and for equality but that will never happen when THEY are constantly marking themselves out as different! Just live your life without the labels!

This film would have worked exactly the same without all the Jewish references. Sure, if it comes up in everyday then yeh it would get mentioned but stuff like "I Jewish, I'm good with kids..." or whatever just really takes you out of the story for no reason and gets really annoying.

And make your mind up, are you a Jew or not!? Jewish? What, so some days you feel a little Catholicish? Today I'm going more for a Muslimish vibe...?
