The Ginger Ninja just sent me a link to this article about Jewno, which parodies Juno by filtering it through a Jewish lens with high-larious results. The video gets bonus points for getting J.K. Simmons, who played Juno’s dad in the real movie, to reprise his role, but this time with a Crown Heights accent. The video also scores bonus points for having an accordion in it:
Keep an ear open for the musical parodies — in the video, they make fun on the Moldy Peaches’ homely alt-folk songs (which were featured in Juno) as well as Mott the Hoople’s All the Young Dudes: “All the young Jews…awkwardly schmooze…”.
The video was written by Daily Show writer Rob Kutner and created for the 92nd Street Y’s upcoming Purim Party.
