South Park and Judaism

One of their fully Jew-oriented episodes is the one entitled “Cartman’s Passover.” This very specific episode involves Cartman’s imaginary beast, the Jewpacabra. Its portrayal is just as ridiculous as UFO’s or aliens’. Cartman claims that the beast is basically invincible and does not believe in Christ in any way. When he decides to catch him, he attempts a mating call, sayings like “there is no Christ!” This is one of the numerous instances when the series sets Judaism as the main focus point of the storyline of an episode.
