Quote: sootyj @ July 6 2009, 1:46 PM BSTI love the whole Bender-Fry-Leela dynamic. And I am unashamed to confess my love for Zoidberg one of the few Jewish characters in animation.
Krusty the Clown?
Stan in Southpark?
Bugs Bunny?
Futurama 2008 Page 4
That's 3 and everyone knows Bugs is a Budhist.
You seem to be assuming that toons have some sort of unspoken WASP sensibility. I don't think there's some inherent anti-semitism going on in comedy animation. (Apparently there's a few Jewish comedy writers and performers thesedays too. Who'd have thought it?)

I used to love that. Part of The Pink Panther, the rinky dink Panther show. 
Quote: Jackson Neil @ July 6 2009, 2:12 PM BSTFavourite Futurama moment: The Twighlight Zone parody at the beginning of "A Head in the Polls", plus Fry and Leela's discussion afterwards about the political debate. The Simpsons never produced a moment even half as touching as Fry's dog in the final scene of "Jurrasic Bark", or Bender's convo with God in Godfellas for that matter
Jurrasic Bark is on sky1 at the moment.

Stan isn't Jewish... Kyle Braflovski is...

Was he voiced by Jacki Mason?
Either way he's a tad second rate.
Dunno.
I wasn't too worried when I was 6 or so.

Yes.

Apologies, I stand corrected.
Though how do you know that Stan isn't Jewish?
Quote: Tim Walker @ July 7 2009, 6:30 AM BSTThough how do you know that Stan isn't Jewish?
Because the character is Christian. Catholic to be precise. He has also been deemed to be the founder of Scientology.
Typical self-hating Jew cover story.
Quote: Leevil @ July 7 2009, 12:33 AM BSTYes.
I've gotta say Jacki hasn't done much better in his career. Shouty racist, pub bore he's the Jewish Bernard Manning (who also claimed to be Jewish).
He did play Krusty The Clown's father. And I suppose he was in The Jerk (if you like that sort of thing).
