- First you have to define "mainstream." I would contend that Mel Brooks
- "History of the World" was pretty disgusting. I do not find any humor
- in Jews hanging on the racks of the Inquisition singing a "show tune"
- with big noses, filthy bodies/clothes wearing a tallis and a religious
- outfit as any form of humor.
-
- I am sure that there are other examples. Anyone care to post more....
