Question:
Was anyone offended by the Jewish jokes in "Knocked Up"?
I am just curious if people found these jokes offensive--I was just surprised they made them. Like when Heigl's character says to seth Green's character, "O h I love your curls what do you use t put in them?" and he says "Jew" and then how the flaky doctor that was supposed to deliver their baby goes to a barmitzfa instead. It seemed to be a lot of Jewish, even anti-Jewish comments and discourse in this film. Any1 else feel that way?
Answers:
I wasn't offended, but then again, I'm not Jewish. I did go see the film a good friend of mine who happens to be Jewish and he wasn't offended either. Since Seth Rogen is Jewish, I see nothing wrong with a little self deprecating humor. Comedians do it all the time. Whether if it's about their weight, height, race, or religion. It's just comedy, and I didn't think it was anti-jewish at all. I mean The director and writer are Jewish. How can they be anti-themselves?
