Well argued. I appreciate your ability to see the dangers of stereotypes while you allow yourself the guilty pleasure of enjoying their skillful manipulation. I think those who admonish you to laugh and enjoy miss the point. Your sophisticated level of enjoyment includes serious analysis. The two are not mutually exclusive. This kind of humor DOES have a slippery slope, and it IS good to recognize the fact. That said, it is hilarious, and "No way." "Yahweh" is one of the best exchanges in my memory! Kudos for a succinct and trenchant analysis!
