The Singhsons

That is wierd.

Hmmm... I don't find it that funny. From my experience (My mom is/was Sikh) I can safely say they could've done a better job at the Sikh stereotype. Cows are not sacred in Sikh culture and "Singh" is the middle name of every Sikh man/woman in India and overseas. Singh is never used as a last name... but the animation was excellent, especially for Flash!

It appears that you are right.

I was curious about it and I checked Wikipedia on the topic "Indian last names". It corrobates your claim: "A number of Sikhs are named Singh, and most Jains are called Jain. However, there are Hindus with these two surnames as well."

This was sent to me by a friend of Indian descent (Hindu), and so I assumed it was "kosher."

I hope you only found it unfunny, not insulting as well

Oh no, it's not offensive at all but it just not my type of humor. I prefer watching absurd flash movies like this and visiting somethingawful.com for photoshp phriday. Actually, I think my mom would find it funny.

I have seen/heard of better spoofs, good animation, but not much humour . . .

 

[boobah]

[lbhhh]

I found it funny. I wonder who they have playing Apu?

 

[Riesstiu IV]

Hmmm, perhaps a white American hippy running a health shop?

Or would that be the "Yup-e Mart"?

 

[Amenhotep7]

Yup-e would be good too.
