FORMAT:Cinema

Jewish Sexual Insecurities

The casual and unexamined White supremacism aside, this is the usual hit-and-miss of not-so-funny, funny and hilarious comedy sketches.

The review format only really works coupled with an overarching theme governing what we are watching, that is absent here. The implicit theme is an undergraduate fixation on sexual activity that finds it difficult to come to terms with the alleged sexual prowess of Black men as compared with White.

This sex‑obsession is especially so in the ethnic-minority humor of the special features regarding the parental Jewish fears of miscegenation among their offspring, along with the resultant fear, among the latter, of Black sexuality as such.

The other obsession of the movie is a desire to upset one’s parents for their being such cultural stick-in-the-muds. This explains the voluminous bad taste and the fact that it is all made acceptable through the use of classy performers.

Terence… (circa 190-159 BC), Roman dramatist. Chremes, in The Self-Tormentor [Heauton Timorumenos], act 1, scene 1.


Führerprinzip:



One leader, one people, signifies one master and millions of slaves… There is no organ of conciliation or mediation interposed between the leader and the people, nothing in fact but the apparatus - in other words, the party - which is the emanation of the leader and the tool of his will to oppress. In this way the first and sole principle of this degraded form of mysticism is born, the Führerprinzip, which restores idolatry and a debased deity to the world of nihilism.
