Most of the people on this board probably wouldn't like that song, because it's based off of a wigger song.

However, I've noticed that most (not all) rabbis I've spoken to online tend to not only be smart and be able to have a lot of interesting conversations about the Bible, etc., but also have a great sense of humor. I don't know if this is just my experience or not, but they seem less stuffy and more approachable than other religious leaders, at least online. I know not everyone is going to be the same though.

Speaking of Weird Al, this is one of my favorites, it makes me giggle every time I watch it:

He claims he's not, but...

Maybe he's not halachically Jewish but has Jewish ancestry then.

It states Al's grandparents on his father's side were Yugoslavian, and on his mother's side they were Italian and English.

If you think that someone MUST be Jewish just based on his appearance, that's just old-fashioned Nazi anti-semitism.  Same as those in the past and present who think that there are immutable characteristics that are unique to Jews such as skull and bone structure.

I just think he looks Jewish, that's all. I'm not saying he is. I'd just be surprised if he didn't have some in his family.

Offspring aren't wiggers..they are an alternative 90's hard rock sort of group.

but this song is cute..it doesn't offend me.

Listen..just as we poke fun of others, us Jews, even Kahanist types need to learn to poke fun at ourselves...Life is too short to be serious about every little thing. I mean, I hate it when blacks go crazy over the word calling them black instead of "African Americans" hmm mm... most people appreciate it when one knows how to poke fun of his people or himself in the right time. I mean, yeh, it does get to certain point if the jokes are too harsh that you have say, "woa, wait a second, that's not cool."  This song by Wierd Al isn't one of those things to fly off the handle about, in my opinion.

He's Jewish...although probably not religious...

I'm Jewish and im' not religious...

I agree, one can't look Jewish. It's Nazi to say such a thing like that. Like Chaim said, Jews are a distinct people, but not a race. I might add, that the majority of Jews are Caucasian though (well, I could be wrong because I know in East Asia there are some righteous East Asian Jews), though we have some Black Ethiopian Jews, which are just as righteous and equal as other Jews etc. I don't believe in Nazi muSSlim discrimination based on racial background, that's what the KKKoran Mein Kampf book teaches. MuSSlims don't judge upon one's character and behavior, but rather racial background and beliefs. They think one must be takiyah Arab muSSlim Nazis.

i think it is just a funny song that humorously banters semitic nuances that we know are generalized...

most jews i know think that this video is quite funny as Al Yankovic himself, although not a jew, has a descent respect for the jewish people and is affiliated with many famous jews..

his other video's pays out wiggers check this one out:

Shoo...you Jews aren't bothered by Weird Al calling you guys cheap?
He also says that the Jews read the torah because it's their only kind of clue.
Soooowwa...he makes fun of YOUR bible!
That doesn't bother you Jews?

But he is very funny.

Just because I think he resembles a lot of Jewish people doesn't mean I think he has to be one, or that all Jews look like him. lol

I think it's funny how the black guys in the car get freaked out by him coming toward their car and drive off really fast. lol

Especially when you know in real life it would probably the other way around.

I think his songs are silly and brings out what he wants in parodies the exaggerations.
