Dan Schneider’s fuckery was a huge redpill for me being a Zoomer.
Growing up watching his shows, I knew about the weird feet jokes, but they’re a misdirection. What I find more interesting is the loads of offhand jokes and references to Jews and Judaism. I think they shaped my generation’s perception of the “religion”, basically to suggest that Jews are just like us and always have been.
I really need to rewatch the shows and do a deep dive on the references. In his later show Sam & Cat, the pilot episode has a particularly insane Jewish “Easter Egg” (Passover Egg?). In the first 30 seconds of the episode, Sam walks up to a ”Mexican” food truck, but the longer you look at it, the more Jewish it is. It’s all dressed up in Mexican colors, but the flag has a fucking Star of David on it. It’s completely adorned with Stars of David, and the menu items are all Jewish twists on Mexican dishes. For example, one was “Juevos Pastrami”. And the signage said “Mexi-Kosher Cuisine”.
It was fucking mind boggling. My friend and I were watching it, and I audibly gasped. He, not being redpilled, was like “what?” and I was like “…nothing..” It’s hidden in plain sight. You don’t notice it because you’re too focused on the characters and dialogue. Gotta dig up the screenshots I took when I get home.
