YMMV / The Hebrew Hammer

• Crosses the Line Twice: And then some. Such gags include...
  • The Jewish Clock listing all major Jewish Holidays and the Macy's 50% off sale.
  • Mordechai and Esther going on the Jewish Underground Railroad that features a Jewish Tragedy museum, laughing at images of their slavery under Pharoah and the Holocaust... but nodding solemnly at "Your credit-card is declined." "Oy!"
  • The Ultimate Jewish Weapon turning out to be being completely passive-aggressive, nit-picking every little thing, and giving a massive guilt-trip to the blatantly anti-semitic Damien Claus, resulting in Damien begging Mordechai to take the gun and just kill him so he doesn't have to listen to it anymore.
• Cult Classic: Didn't do much business at the box office, but thanks to frequent airings by Comedy Central, it found an audience that appreciated its Blaxploitation references and its satirical treatment of Jewish culture.
• Genius Bonus:
  • Carver uses the Jewish system of dating years (see also the bottle of liquor he smashes over a guy's head in the Nazi bar).
  • The notion of an Underground Jewish Railroad run by a woman named Harriet Tubbelman seems random, until you remember that there was an acclaimed miniseries about Harriet Tubman named A Woman Called Moses.
• Harsher in Hindsight: In this movie, Andy Dick plays a man who wants to destroy Hannukah and Kwanzaa partly out of contempt for black people and Jews. Dick would go on to cause controversy by calling his audience "a bunch of niggers" in 2006, then by making antisemitic comments about Howard Stern in 2011.
• Memetic Mutation: "Shabbat Shalom, mothafuckas!"
