'Meshugene Men': A Purim Parody

Friday March 6, 2009

Categories: Pop Culture, Television

You might have to be a die hard "Mad Men" enthusiast to appreciate this new video parody, in which ad execs at a Jewish firm try to come up with a campaign to market mayonnaise to Jews. There's lots of cigarette smoking, speech making, and even a busty red-headed secretary.

But then again, maybe not. The parody--which features the always funny Amy Sedaris--not only skewers the hit TV series, but also takes a few shots at stereotypes of Jewish culture.

Better yet, the video is also educational, because now a nice Midwest evangelical girl is fully aware of the fact the Jewish celebration of Purim, a holiday which recognizes Jewish deliverance from Haman's plot to destroy them, is only a few days away.

After watching the video and having a few laughs as I once was a babystitter for a Jewish family for three years, I feel it was a great video. Keep it coming.
