I just happened to see one of my Jewish friends yesterday, which was brilliant since Hanukkah started later that evening.
Kat: Happy Chaka-Khan-ukkah!
Amigo: What?
Kat: Chaka Khan. The singer.
Amigo: Okaaay… thanks.
Kat: I’d also like you to know that you spin me right round. Baby. Right ’round. Like a dreidel, baby. Right ’round, ’round ’round.
Amigo: …
Kat: What? Don’t hate the player, hate the game.
Amigo: …
Kat: Did you know that if you were a rapper your name could be Dr. Dreidel?
Amgio: …
Kat: Nothing? Fuck me, you’re boring.
Amigo: I’m just surprised that you didn’t say something like “Keep the Han in Hanukkah” since you’re such a comic geek.
Kat: Han?
Amigo: Like Han Solo? I’ve seen that meme a few times.
Kat: Han Solo in Hanukkah?! Now that’s funny! Or better yet, “Keep the “Chew” in Han-Chew-Kkah!”
Amigo: That’s awful.
Kat: And Star Wars is a movie, not a comic. Mostly.
Amigo: …
Anyway, these wretched puns are my ridiculous way of wishing my Jewish peeps a very Happy Hanukkah!
(Or Chanukah.)
Call me a comic geek, eh? Then take THIS!
“My Jewish Peeps” …I freaking love it. Those are hilarious and only you would think of them. The most I had for my Jewish friends was…Happy Hanukkah. I’m so unoriginal.
Haa! Those are great puns and I hate that I didn’t come up with them.
What a hilarious piece!! Excellent work! Whether serious or silly your dialogue is always amazing!
Ha! Dr. Dreidel. I do agree with your amigo though about Han-Chew-Kkah….
Don’t forget the Asian Hebrews, like Jackie Chan-ukah.
I demand you write Jewish raps for Dr. Dreidel RIGHT THIS INSTANT.
I’m with Nicki. You must record yourself rapping as Dr. Dreidel.
